3 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 November 2011

To me, a 4 star rating is to have accommodations that are luxurious and service that is excellent. The Royal Sporting Hotel has a 4 star view of the mediterranean, all other aspects of the hotel barely rank a 2 star hotel. Our room was medium in size, two twin beds, a desk , small T.V. on a wall stand.... More

We were a bit disappointed when we arrived. The Hotel looks smart from the outside but like too many of the italian riviera hotels it is a bitt outdated an run down. Sure the view from the terrace and the swimming pool area is breathtaking, but the rooms are not up to standard. Considering the cost, I would say that... More

We were mystified how this hotel claims 4 stars. It is old and tired, with staff who appear disinterested and not very friendly. The room had a nice view, but the furniture and fittings were sparse, old, and not comfortable. The bathroom is very small, and also "vintage". We had no complaints about the cleanliness. Sound proofing between rooms is... More

It's a hotel that may have been good in the 80ies but tht now needs a lot of attention (which it has not) and refurbishing. High price and low quality. Our room on the back was one of the smallest rooms I ever saw (you could not open the drawers unless you moved the bed side table on the balcony).... More

I found this hotel full of contradictions. My wife said it was just plain bad. I’ll give you my side as she isn’t writing this. On arrival the receptionist handed us our keys, said the room was on the second floor and then stood and watched as we lugged our suitcases up stairs to the elevator. She didn’t score any... More

The staff was great. The beach across the street was excellent. Several good restaurants are within easy walking distance. The pool and bar provided great views of the harbor. Our room was small, the beds and pillows hard as bricks, and the shower tiny. There was a flat screen TV with a small(20") screen and no English language channels. The... More

This was a very neat hotel in a sweet location. The bathroom was so big, especially compared to the other hotels we stayed at during our visit to Italy. Everything was wonderful, the front desk was very welcoming. We enjoyed our stay here so much. Walking distance to nice shops & restaurants and the water taxi to the other villages... More

We were traveling with another couple. Both of us had rooms with a balcony overlooking the sea. Ours was on the 4th floor and had a good size. As mentioned in another review the shower in the bathroom was a little small but adequate. The decor is a bit dated but everything is very clean and comfortable. Breakfast was plentiful... More
