Hotel Adua & Regina di Saba Wellness & Beauty

The hotel is tired, and most of the staff could care less about pleasing the customers. It’s situated on a dirty street, and there are much prettier places in the town. Our room was fine, and the air conditioning was good. The breakfast wasn’t very good, and the breakfast staff were surly. Alberto and Philomina at the front desk were friendly and helpful. My overall opinion is to stay somewhere else.

A very nice hotel with a very decent lounge area for guests, which is comfortable. Centrally located for all the major Tuscan highlights and in a quietish area. Rooms cleaned every day and towels changed, the maids do a great job. Staff are fantastic, they really looked after our group from Newmarket Holidays. Special thanks to Ylenia, Loulay (I hope I have that right) and Erica. You were all such lovely people. Food was a bit hit and miss, I was surprised that the main courses weren't more influenced by Italian cuisine. There were pasta dishes (anti pasta mainly) but we did feel that the main courses were a bit bland and needed some lifting. I've seen some comments on Tripadvisor about how good the breakfasts were and I'm not sure what some people saw as being so good. There were the usual yoghurt, fruit (but not much choice), fresh croissants etc but the only hot offerings on a daily basis were scrambled egg and bacon. No variation, same thing each day. In my opinion breakfast was poor and needs some thought, it wouldn't take much. And the location of the central table for guests to use at mealtimes is in entirely the wrong place. we had people banging into chairs on our table when they were helping themselves from the small buffet. This table needs to be relocated to the outer wall at the end of the room, next to the breakfast bar. The last point was the aircon which doesn't come on until 1st June. This is ridiculous as the bedrooms were very hot and sleeping with the windows open makes it too noisy. Please consider changing this and making it temperature dependent and not date dependent as it makes no sense. All of our party (19 I think) had trouble sleeping due to the heat. You really could do this better. All that said I would recommend this hotel but bear these points in mind.

Pleasant hotel with friendly staff. Food was good and room clean. Location 5 minutes from many shops, restaurants and cafes. There is some form of training/ college facility adjacent to one side of the hotel. So if you have a balcony you may be viewed by students in a classroom. When we stayed there were large groups of students staying in the local hotels. On our last night we also had a couple of groups book in. They were very polite but inevitable noisy.
