Overall Ratings & Reviews TH Capoliveri - Grand Hotel Elba International

They don’t have hot water, only slightly warm. No drain stopper in the bath tub. Breakfast was good. Dinner so-so.

Very disappointed. The pool area was dirty, the hallways carpets were stained and the room looked and felt like a hospital room, stale and no amenities in the room. I lost my money because I left to stay at another location

This hotel has a great location, a very good pool and a private beach. The staff is attentive, friendly and welcoming. That's the good points. Everything else is bad- the hotel needs investing some money into renovation the rooms as our air conditioning was non-existent and water taps were working so badly that hardly any water was coming out, the furniture is basic and very outdated. The hotel restaurant is terrible - the breakfast and dinner options are of such a poor quality it's unbelievable. The desserts, apparently, are being baked in a prison in Padua and delivered to Elba- they cannot be fresh by definition. It's a 4-star hotel, they should use 4-star chefs, not inmates to cook the food! As a family of 4, 2 adults and 2 teenagers, we were told at the beach that we are only allowed 1 umbrella and 2 sunbeds- really?? We had a double room, so surely everyone should be allowed to have a sunbed! So inconsiderate. The location is so beautiful so do come but do not stay at this hotel, it is stuck somewhere in the 70s.

The hotel looks great as you come into the foyer, but the corridors and general upkeep let it down. The walkway to the pool is not welcoming and pool bar very limited for food choices. The water jets in one pool were not working. The outside area is not used to it’s potential and has a feel of faded glamour, and is a bit neglected.

It’s an older hotel, needs renovation. My kids A/c didn’t work, our tv had no signal. They tried to overcharge me at checkout. It’s in a nice area with a good place to swim and relax by the water.

Excellent place excellent location

Nice hotel with elevator access to a private beach. They have a restaurant at the beach for lunch. Food in the dining room and beach was excellent. The beds and pillows are the hardest, most uncomfortable that I have ever had in a hotel.

This hotel rates itself as 4 stars, but is really only 3 star level, with some added features. The positives are the friendly staff, great view from our window across the bay to Port Azzurro and the nice private beach area below the hotel accessed by the hotel lift. There are areas of wooden decking and sand, a bar and basic restaurant, which we did not eat in. The 2 hotel pools looked fine. The downsides include the shabby and weather worn exterior of the hotel, although the rooms and interior public areas have been upgraded somewhat. But the big downside, was the poor value for the facilities and lack of ambience for the money paid for the room. I imagine the cost of the upkeep of the 2 pools, the lift to the private beach and maintenance generally, are high. Another downside is no outside restaurants are accessible by foot from the hotel. We drove to Porto Azzurro, but that takes 15 minutes, and then is a hassle to find a carpark. The second night we had dinner in the hotel restaurant, which we found a good experience, with tasty food and efficient friendly service at reasonable prices. However, overall we felt that the hotel was not good value for money.

The over the ocean deck is very nice! The hotel is amazing.

Our superior room was large and comfortable with spectacular views. The bathroom was spacious and clean. Over all the decor is rather dated and carpets are stained in public areas which gives an undeserved bad impression. The restaurant with great views if you are lucky serves a variety of good food with excellent service. The breakfast is particularly good except for terrible coffee and dreadful fruit juice. I couldn’t drink either which I found disappointing. The pools are large and clean but too salty and caused eye discomfort. Reception staff are helpful and friendly. The car park is a long steep walk away from the reception. The private beach which is reached via lift was clean. There is a bar and an over priced restaurant.

Great to have pontoon access to sea, not crowded and good pools. Provided gluten free breakfast on request. Better if provided fresh fruit juice. Bar meals / drinks expensive We did not have balcony so no outdoor space or view from room but did provide adjoining room for our daughter. Stayed 5 nights- good amount of time. Able to bring dogs / cats at additional cost

I love this tucked away hotel with friendly stuff and outstanding views. Good pools. Good breakfast. Will go again.

Lovely hotel in a great position Lift down to the sand beach with perfectly positioned decking Great views of Porto Azzurro

Great hotel, sea view room was amazing with a great view. Good beach close to the hotel. Hotel restaurant was excellent and served great food. Hotel location is not the best for visting shops, restaurants and exploring round the island if you can’t drive or not willing to hire a bike. Therefore it’s expensive taxis journeys. If you are looking to relax and not wander to far away from the hotel with beautiful scenic views then the location is perfect. It was good value compared to other places in Italy.

There is no beach. Decking with lounge chairs at the water. Must take elevator to waterfront

This hotel was lovely. Room very clean and cleaned every day, with fresh towels provided daily. Great breakfast buffet. Lovely decking area for sunbathing down at the beach. All staff were very friendly and helpful. Helped me track down gluten free pizzas in capoliveri!

The hotel is very very dated and in need of a lot of repair. The breakfast was poor quality and not enjoyable. Very old table and chairs. Pool area has lovely views and big pool with good sun beds but floor and steps need better maintenance.

Our 4 day vacation at the Grand Hotel Elba International was terrific. The location is exceptional on this island. located across from Porto Azzuro. The Grand Hotel Elba is a slightly older hotel, but very well kept up, it has a small but very nice water level beach type area carved out of the cliff. Lots of chairs and umbrellas on the raised platforms over the water. Also has two pools at the Hotel which are very, very nice. Check in was easy and very efficient, with all information needed provided to us. Hotel staff was very nice Especially Romina and Janina at the front desk. helped us out and made some very good suggestions.

Great hotel in a good location

Very enjoyable stay.Planning to return next year.Loved the crystal clear water.
