Hotel Valemare

Food cold cappuccino cold wine tell you one price and then when you pay another price Shower towels too small Tropea beutyfull Vale Mare no good

It was the worst experience I had in my trip to Italy. Property condition unacceptable and people working there which I want to remark Leticia and Martina , very unprofessional. Martina doesn’t have manners and she was very disrespectful she doesn’t have skill to work with customer service. She should be fired. Only one thing I need to remark it is the beautiful view to the sea from the hotel . Also Expedia needs to be sure about Hotels condition before to publish those on the website this way would avoid uncomfortable situation from travelers.

Close to everything it room wasn’t ready till 6pm

Letcia was very kind and available for anything.

Solid 3.5/5.0 Great location. Walking distance to central Tropea tourist areas, nice beach immediately nearby, and spectacular seaside views. Hotel itself is solid, with spacious and clean rooms (although cleaning is not offered daily). Staff generally friendly and helpful, although unfortunately one bad incident ended up impacting our experience. The hotel promotes their own restaurant, and on our first night we accepted the suggestion. They were pushing a pre-selected menu, which we had little interest in, but the desk host ensured us a la carte would also be available. When we got there the waiter advised that only the pre-selected menu was practically available because they only had one person working the kitchen and he would struggle to prepare items outside what he was focused on. We were disappointed, but agreed since it was already late and we were kind of trapped there at that point and quite hungry. The food was bad, and we had to leave part-way through, unable to finish it beyond what we needed to eat simply to stem hunger from travels during the day without a meal. We subsequently advised the hotel about the experience. At checkout we were surprised to see we were charged full price for the meal, when we reasonably expected either a full or partial comp given the circumstances. The hotel manager simply said no concession possible. We were stunned at the service given price-point of the hotel, and left with a bad feeling after otherwise solid experience.

You get what you pay for. It is a cheap and clean hotel, not fancy or special but it will give you a clean bed. Keep an eye on reception though: I booked a triple room and they tried to give me a double room (and insisted they were right).

Like - Amazing views, close to old town, fairly quiet, close to beach, helpful staff, parking available at no cost, large room, large shower stall. We got a great deal on the price. Dislike - Building is aging but still has a ‘vintage’ feel and not decrepit, yet. Breakfast was plentiful but appeared to be last night’s left overs and the same breads/cakes from the previous day. No coffee in the room. Overall, very happy with the hotel and had a wonderful time staying there

Great Location and beautiful view from dining room

This hotel had lost our reservation and tried to tell us that hotels. Com who we had booked it with did not send them a booking confirmation, so we had no room . They finally ended up giving us a room but it wasn't the room we had asked for .I had asked for a junior suite which was much bigger with an ocean view , it had a sofa bed as well which one of us was supposed to sleep on . Instead we had a Tiny room where one of us had to sleep on the floor . When I called hotels . Com to find out what happened they said that we were booked with the junior suite and that the only thing that could of happened is the hotel gave our room away to someone else I would not stay here ever again , it wasn't comfortable and there was an awful smell in the room all night.

Wonderful location with helpful reception staff and real holiday villa type rooms. Dinner and breakfast good but hard to get a drink at the bar!

We stayed in a family room with half board and were very happy with the food and excellent value for money. Amazing views from the Restaurant and helpful staff.

Beautiful breakfast by the sea, the rooms were clean and very spacious. The staff were very helpful with organising information for us and also laundry services and the hotel is a short walk into the centre of Tropea

Hotel location fantastic views and handy for the ancient town of Tropea with great value for the money. Staff friendly and helpful

Beautiful room with two balcony’s overlooking the water.

We arrived late at night and they were there to attend us! Rooms were clean and comfortable.

This property has very comfortable beds and a spectacular view!

The property is not too far from the train station -- head towards a historic part of the town or contact hotel for instructions. The train station is small and mostly self-serviced -- learn Italian! Hotel Valemare has been the most French Riviera looking property on our trip, though it is a typical 3 story low ceilings building one can see in many American seaside towns. Our hotel room has been newly and tastefully furnished and had an interior, rather roomy, closet. Despite it's close proximity to the small restaurant and the pool there has been no noise and no unpleasant odors. On the contrary, the small terrace-looking restaurant has become a highlight of our culinary experience this trip. A calm versatile cook, with just one very nice helper threw in a variety of local freebies for breakfast and some ala carte dishes we have ordered have been very tasty and plentiful. One day, when it started raining during the night and the rain would not stop ( mid October), we wondered if there would be any service at all. Yet the restaurant stayed open welcoming last minute diners and a group of just arrived soaked wet French tourists. In the morning, despite the rain, we saw the cook coming in very early with fresh selection -- the terrace has been all tucked in with plastic covers in no time and there had been business as usual. We would have returned just for that cook and beautiful Tropea centro storico minutes walk from where we stayed.

So glad we chose this hotel! Our 2nd floor room was very comfortable and quiet (this was slow season, don't know what the noise level would be like in peak season!). The front balcony/porch had the most beautiful sea view, with table and chairs to relax and enjoy it. The unit was 2 rooms, 1 with bed and 1 with a sofa, in addition to the bathroom. Rooms were large. The location was good, close to the beach and to the historic section of town. The breakfast -- oh my goodness, breakfast was the best in our 3 weeks of traveling Italy. A few hot traditional food items and an excellent pastry selection. Two items for fellow travelers. During our stay the wifi connection was not available in all rooms-we ended up having to move to a different room so that we could have wifi access (receptionist was very helpful and ensured we got a room that had the connection). Also, the hotel.com link for the hotel says rooms have coffee/tea makers, but we didn't see this in the 2 units we were in.

Comfortable room and a good location. Beautiful view of the sea from the restaurant. Although English was limited, the staff was friendly and helpful. The room had everything we needed, although it could use some updating in the bathroom. The breakfast was quite nice. Our room had a comfortable patio/terrace with a partial sea view.

Location and hotel are very well. At walking distance to beach and the old city.
