When we got to the hotel it was most upsetting it wasn't at all a good impression, there were better hotels seen on the way to the Hotel Dei Pini. The hotel was rundown, weeds, overgrown grass, and the reception area wasn't well presented, worn sofas, torn in places. It just wasn't a very good impression. The Manager, however, Luca, was most obliging and quick to issue the rooms and have the cases taken to the bedrooms. We had booked a twin room with a balcony because I was sharing with my brother as all the single rooms had been taken. We did ask for a larger room if possible. However, we had a room with twin beds, pushed together (which we specifically did not want) and bunk beds (which we did not want), and a small bathroom, only one chair to sit on, nowhere to put our suitcases on, no hooks to hang clothes in the bathroom, an awful hairdryer that took ages to dry hair, no refreshments, no kettle, no fridge, no instructions, no telephone instructions on how to get hold of reception in an emergency, there was a television and nothing else. We had a balcony which opened out onto the sun terrace, where other hotel clients sat and drank – and had easy access to our room, there was no security. We therefore were unable to leave the window open. If you wanted air conditioning, you had to pay an additional €10 per day. The lift was temperamental. We did ask to be moved but were told it was not possible. For us the room was cramped, had no privacy, and presented a security issue. The bar was a small area, which limited stock, and also served as the breakfast servery. For breakfast there was a selection of croissants, limited cereal (I would not call it cornflakes), and toast (toaster for 4 toasts at a time only for 48 people!). There was some sort of canned fruit, and low-grade yogurts, butter, and 2 kinds of jams, and honey. Tea in flasks, and a coffee vending machine. Any coffee or tea taken outside of breakfast had to be paid for. No cooked breakfast, no boiled eggs, no scrambled eggs, no bacon. Just some processed ham, and small slivers of edam cheese. For lunch the menu was the same every day: side-dish of gem lettuce and tomato shards, followed by either pasta (same pasta every day), or soup, followed by a main such as chicken escalope with gravy, or small cod (you normally give to your cat) and either peas or French beans or chips followed by a dessert such as a little bit of ice cream, or panna cotta or tiramisu very limited and a lot of the hotel guests were unable to eat the food that was provided. In my opinion the chef should have been fired, it was absolutely not what one would expect from a three-star hotel. The crockery was basic the cups were tiny little cubs and the cutlery, well the spoons for the soup we're actually serving spoons! However, the staff, especially Rosa and Luca, were absolutely first class and did try their best, had not been told of food allergies or requests and has to stick to the limited menu a
