If you want a 4* hotel then don't go to this hotel as it does not reach this standard. The rooms are basic and clean. Food is excellent although variety was poor. (scrambled egg and bacon or continental breakfast everyday) The evening meal started off as excellent then declined throughout he week. The staff are unfriendly, unless you can speak... more

Firstly, thank you Kristal for clarifying that I was NOT criticizing Hotel Madison! I found this hotel cozy, homely, very clean with a great location and MOST of the dishes served were excellent. On reflection, I feel I need to clear a few points I initially made and now that I have overcome my disappointment, my gripe with my holiday... more

Please notice that the reviewer from Barnsley wasnt really saying anything negative about the hotel Madison, he or she was more upset that Cattoilica didnt live up to their expectations! Or Italy for that matter. Well for me it was better than imagined, I was apprehensive but needn't have been. The whole experiece was an excellant one. Loved Cattolica, most... more

I don't understand some of the bad reviews, the hotel is fantastic and we (4 of us) are going back there this year again. Italy is a fantastic country and Cattolica is brilliant with easy access to lots of other places. Really can't understand the negative reviews don't let them put you off. more

Our rooms where small, but we didnt need any bigger, these rooms where spotless,the only drawback was we could have... more

If you are looking for a quiet holiday, then this hotel is an excellent choice. if you like a lively holiday then Cattolica is not for you. Cattolica is very Italian and many italians holiday there. There are... more

We stayed in a larger size apartment on the 4th floor and we had lovely views of the harbour from our balcony. The apartment was clean if a little small. There wasn't really enough space for all the equipment. The microwave was sat on a cupboard about 6ft off the floor. It was fine really because we don't actually cook... more

Bearing in mind that italian hotels aren't upto the same standard as the rest of Europe we were expecting it to be a mess but were pleasantly surprised when we got there. The hotel is clean and rooms were cleaned everyday with fresh towel. The only thing is the rooms were decorated a bit eighties style, lots of pink and... more

We stayed last summer ( 2 adults 2 children aged 10 and 13) We had two very basic rooms opposite each other- ours had a sea view, was clean, modern tho' like most Italian hotel rooms- small ! Kids liked MTV ! Food was really nice- great mixed choice of european and good local dishes. Good service. Gala meal a... more
