Just like to say that I am so glad that I did not take notice of all the reviews. I emailed a woman that had gave a review since it was refurbished. She gave me such great reviews about the hotel, food, surroundings, beach and travel! The advice she gave me was so spot on! my own free advice tour guide! lol! We have 3 children, they loved the hotel, service at the desk was brilliant, hotel rooms quite spacious and very clean and comfortable. The only thing we could say that we were not happy about was the food. The breakfast and dinner were virtually the same every night, I would give food 6 /10, service 10/10. The location was brilliant. We were in walking distance of shops, restaurents, beaches, local bus service etc. Beach was really lovely, you are given a discount card from reception and you are allocated a certain area for the hotel..wonderful! We are use to going to lido/venice for the last 4 years so we found the food, clothes etc to be very reasonable. Every night you would walk along the beach strip and you would find wonderful entertainment that was sometimes filmed live, fashion shows, singing competitions etc. they would also have loads of stalls selling from art jewelley to fashion, the strip would go on forever. Oh yes, you also have roof top sunbatheing, view spectacular in the evening! a quite are to read, little gazebos to sit under if you would like to get out of the sun and have a cool drink. The pool is very nice, it opens at 10am - 1 pm then 3 pm until 7pm. table tennis and snooker for children. The only down side I would say I suppose is that it would be nice for more games for children and the food to have more variety. If you need to ask me anything about the area or hotel, feel free to eamil on [---] ps local restaurents superb! The trip to Pisa / Lucca was very rushed! so I would not recommend excursion, wished we had made the trip to Florence, now we have got to go back! Lol! No we would go back to Lido Di Camaiore, it is a lovely town along with Forte Di Marmi, it is only a short bus ride away. We used Ryan Air, Taxi ( 5 ) cost 70 euros to hotel, well worth it! I saved over a 1,000 euros booking direct to this hotel and using Ryan Air. Enjoyable flight and enjoyable hotel :D

My family stayed here for a week in August 2009 and we were so pleased with the hotel and staff. First of all the bedrooms we had (2 twins) were very modern, large and spacious, recently refurbished and complete with 32" flat screen satellite tv on the wall. Both bathrooms were larger than we have at home! Each day they were cleaned and were completely spotless, as was the rest of the hotel. I can only assume that the reviews left a couple of years ago were before a complete makeover or maybe a change in management?
The pool was fantastic for our two teenage sons and didn't get too busy even though it was August (peak season), quite often we had it to ourselves. There were plenty of sunbeds available and a friendly lifeguard on hand. Snacks and ice creams were available by the poolside.
We stayed bed and breakfast which was great for us. There was plenty of choice from croissants and cake to ham and cheese, cereals, fruit, yoghurts, and lots more. All the waiters were kind and helpful, especially as we didn't speak much Italian.
The hotel staff were fantastic. They helped us with information on the town, booking taxis, and nothing was too much trouble for them.
There are free hotel bikes to borrow which are great for getting around the area. All along the front of Lido di Camaiore to Viareggio there is a two-way bike lane which is non-stop full of cyclists. All the hotels seem to have free bikes for holiday makers to use and everyone cycles everyhwere. I have never seen so many people cycling around together, from the very young to pensioners! We went out on them to eat in the evening and to explore the town, the motorists are very patient even on the main roads!
The roof terrace at this hotel is one of it's best points - the views are to die for! you can see the sea along to the new pier and Viareggio harbour and lighthouse in the distance to the Apuan mountains behind with all the mountain villages lit up at night. The perfect place to relax at then end of a hot day in the sun. We sat up there reading and enjoying the view many times during our stay.
The journey to the hotel is quite easy if you fly to Pisa, train to Pisa Centrale (5mins) then train to Viareggio (15mins) we then go a taxi to the hotel (16.00Euro) or you can get the number 3 Lem Circulare for about 3.00Euro (once an hour) The hotel website does say that it is approx 2km from the Viareggio train station but it isn't - more like 4-5km. It is still easy to get to though so don't let this put you off.
All in all it was a wonderful stay here - quite expensive area but well worth it. Our two sons enjoyed the cycling and swimming. The hotel also has a snooker table and table tennis are by the pool for teenagers.
I would recommend a day trip to Florence but make sure you go on the tourist bus to see all the sights, we did both routes and it was such an experience we won't forget. We could never have covered so much on foot - I highly recommend this way of seeing the area especially as it goes up to Fiesole which alone is worth the fare!
My husband went by bus to Camaiore town then walked up into the hills to see the local villages and views - wonderful.
Also worth going to Viareggio Port by bike - beautiful Yachts there to admire.
We ate out at various restaurants along the front, all of which were of a good standard and very reasonable. Pizza about 6-8Euro's - Other pasta dishes about 8-12Euros - beers 3-4Euros and a litre of house white wine 8Euros!!!
We also went by train to the Leaning Tower of Pisa and again this was well worth a visit, much more than photos can show you!
We would definitely return to this hotel and give it 5*****

We stayed at the Hotel Eur in July 2006. At that time there was only one unfavourable review on Tripadvisor. I note there are now a few more, all agreeing that the Eur is unsatisfactory. Would confirm all that has previously been written.

Our room was very small and yes when you sit on the toilet you are also half way in the shower cubicle. The staff were very unfriendly and unwelcoming, especially the manager. Arrogant!

Lido Di Camaiore was bland and boring ... about as much atmosphere as the moon. The beach was nice but the beach clubs were a rip off.

Inland Tuscany was beautiful and we enjoyed trips to Lucca, Sienna and San Gimignamo. Also very very lovely was the Cinque Terre area.

We booked our holiday with Thomsons and though we did complain to the representative at the time, with no change in room, perhaps we should have complained more on our return home.

I would advise, not to patronise the Hotel Eur.

Terrible hotel. The bedroom ensuite was so small that you were sat on the toilet and in the shower at the same time. All the staff were incredibly rude. Most unenjoyble stay.
