Angelina Residence

Nice place to stay near the beach and city center. Better then Amalfi and Positano. Not so crowded and you can park your car.

Unfriendly check in staff, you have to check in in another hotel 200 meters away from the property. We checked in and they didn’t give us the power card for the wall, so we arrived at a room with no electricity. Contacted via WhatsApp and nobody replied. Had to walk back to get it myself. No staff around the building to assist. The apartment was spacious, has paid laundry service which works ok. Location is good.

The room was ok but so loud all day /night do didn't get much sleep at all ! Felt like I was around a building site to it was not very nice surroundings to this hotel . The pool area ok ish but sunbeds weren't the best either . Beach front and promenade ok to lots of bars , restaurants and little shops and caffeterias. Only downside to my holiday was the weather was so bad but just had to make the most of my holiday,did a trip to Pompeii but and went to closer towns but another trips didn't take place due to bad weather. met lots of nice people out there to so enjoyed some cocktails at beach bars . Would not recommend staying here at all tho but think the panorama where check in is looks so much nicer and better place to stay .

Stayed here in September for 2 nights, and can quite honestly say it was one of the worst hotel experiences I've ever had. The first and most bizarre thing at this place is they don't let you check in until 4pm and check out is at 10am. When we arrived for our stay, we were early (unavoidable due to our travel arrangements) and they said they would try and get us in sooner, but it would depend on the cleaners. Fine, we went around and explored, had lunch and came back hours later just to see how things were going since we had not received a call yet. When we got back to reception, there were at least 5 other groups waiting around the foyer and front desk to check in. The staff were so slow and shambolic, at one stage we thought we heard someone say they had 'lost' the cleaner, and were not sure when they rooms would be ready, Sufficed to say, they did not check us in until exactly 4:30 - a total of 3 hours spent waiting in the lobby for our room. We also found it completely bizarre, that despite 'pre-authorising' the full amount of our stay on our nominated credit card on arrival, we also had to give a 100 euro security deposit AND pay the city tax in advance. Then we were told we would not get the security deposit back until someone had physically checked the room after we had checked out. And apparently if you drive yourself to the hotel and wish to park in the carpark in front of the building, you must let the staff know and then surrender your keys for 'security' reasons to the front desk. This seems incredibly odd, and no, it is not a valet service. As for the room itself, the building is just old and outdated. Terrible lighting, and the most uncomfortable bed and pillow. The walls are also incredibly thin and you can hear every noise from neighbouring rooms, the street, the soccer pitch around the corner etc. There were also signs everywhere that advised guests needed to purchase a swimming cap from reception in order to use the pool?! We did not bother checking if this was still an active policy as the beach is much nicer, the pool is just in a car park essentially and not very relaxing. It's hardly appropriate to call it a hotel and the cost per night is appalling given the service. Guests must even throw out their own rubbish! Honestly seems like a motel or public housing flats that has been converted into a shabby hotel. The only redeeming quality is the location. Other than that, I could not recommend anyone stay there.

The pictures on the website we booked were not quite true to life, the pool is very shaded and not that clean. The staff at the hotel were standard not overly friendly, little response to messages prior. The beach staff which you pay additionally to use were not friendly, our first day there was a bit of wind which meant staff would not allow umbrellas up even though they charged for them and every other beach area had them up, second day part way through the staff part way though the day wanted all umbrellas down. Playing catch with a ball in the water was also apparently unsafe and not allowed. The room was decent size and as advertised only note towel change is once every 7 days, for extra is a charge. Location is easy walk to everything and roof top bar was great for a evening drink

My friend and I stayed in the Angelina Residence for 5 days and have only good things to say about it. The check in was easy and quick (although it is a few minutes away from the residence) and the staff at the check in couldn't be more helpful. Our room was fabulous - a spacious studio, spotlessly clean with everything you could want. The kitchen had a full size fridge, a freezer and oven and a great range of utensils. There is ample wardrobe space, a safe, and a good size bathroom with a hairdryer. The balcony was large with a table and chairs. In addition to the double bed we also used the chair bed as we didn't want to share a bed, and it was made up with sheets etc as we requested, at no extra charge. It is worth noting that it was a really comfortable chair bed, with a proper mattress etc. We were lucky that we had fantastic weather and were able to use the pool which has ample sunbeds with shades. The pool was clean, not unduly cold, and despite us being there over half term week, it was never crowded. The Angelina Residence is 2 minutes away from the sea front and a stone's throw from various shops and bars. It is however one street back from the sea, so the view is predominantly of other buildings (which didn't bother us at all). It is a very quiet area - after midnight not a sound was to be heard, so perfect for a good night's sleep! There are local buses at the end of the road and also ferries to other towns - all very easy to use and very cheap. We found the locals all very friendly and helpful and wouldn't hesitate to recommend the Angelina Residence to anyone!
