“Returning to Montecatini”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed August 22, 2012

We stayed at Grand Hotel Tamerici & Principe for one night only on a tour of Italy in June. As we had stayed there before (about eight years ago I believe), we were upgraded to a suite and given half price parking. The suite was fabulous - two bathrooms and two balconies. The pool was welcome to cool down in. The hotel is a little jaded and the breakfast was not the best, hence only a very good rating rather than excellent ... although I was tempted to give the final extra mark for the present given to us by the Manager ... two bottles of wine, which set us up nicely for our onward journey! Would definitely recommend the hotel and of course the lovely town

“Excellent hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed August 7, 2012

We stayed at the Grand Hotel Tamerici for one week in June so that I could take advantage of the mud baths. We found the breakfasts and dinners delicious and graciously served. The location was perfect for all our walks around town. Our room was clean and quiet. The reception desk offered us a laptop for our computer connection. When we return to Montecatini Terme we will definitely return to this hotel.

“Service with no smile”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed August 1, 2012

The location of this hotel is wonderful. It is close to everything in Montecatini Terme. Sadly this positive point is outweighed by the awful attitude one encounters while dealing with the front desk. When confronted with evidence about free advertised WiFi (as noted in numerous travel sites) they simply replied that those were indeed not the official hotel sites thus making the issue a mute point. This is rather audacious considering that they proudly display a TripAdvisor sign. According to Trip Advisor, WiFi is free!
Breakfast is terrible and bar service is mediocre at best.
The pool is a disappointment.
Given the level of competition in this city, one would think that attention to detail would be of paramount importance to the owners and staff of the hotel.

“What a disappointment!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed July 28, 2012

We stayed in this hotel for a week with a tour group, and many were disappointed with the hotel. Physically, it was quite nice. Large enough rooms, in pretty good repair, clean, and with a nice breakfast. BUT, the staff was unfriendly, unresponsive, often rude.
Contrary to all the on-line reviews, wi-fi was NOT free - was 5 Euros per day - outrageous. The staff claimed the web sites offering free wi-fi were not their "official" web site so they were not bound to honor it. (Even though they displayed their trip advisor rating on the front entrance, and it is still shown today on bookings.com...pretty dishonest in our opinion.) Our tour director got them to honor it for our group, but not before some ordered it for $$$ - which they refused to refund. And then, they made us hnad over our devices & they entered the password! All done in a surly manner.
Staff would often sit at their desks while we stood waiting to drop off or pick up our keys - just watching us. In the dining room it was near impossible to get the attention of the staff for anything we needed - we took to doing self-service. The owner (or manager) was often seen & heard berating staff by members of our party - no wonder they were rude. Go elsewhere with your business - this is not typical behavior!

Room Tip: Stay elsewhere!

“Worst hotel ever- robbed in the middle of the night!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed July 16, 2012

Just got back from Italy. Amazing trip except for getting robbed while at this hotel. Someone came in our room at night while we were alseep and stole our cash and cell phones. Don't stay at a hotel that can't provide basic security for the guests.

Dear Marsh Family,
We just saw you review on tripadvisor website and we have to say that it left us a little bit surprised…
Of course we are so sorry for what happened, as said since the first time you reported the fact, but it would be honest on your part, to admit even that the window of your room was completely open: both the roller shutter and glass window - door of the balcony were open…
We don’t believe that guests love prisons (.. and actually even the doors of your balcony were open..) , we also think that don’t exist “Liberty style prisons”…. these are the reasons why the windows of our Hotel don’t have railings.. Another thing that we would like to remark is that in any of our windows and balcony doors , ESPECIALLY AT LOW FLOORS, our guests, ( just like you) can find a warning sign which invites to keep windows closed during the night.
This sign is exposed, not because Montecatini Terme is a town overrun by thieves, but just because it is so logical to think that if even only 1 thief is around it is much easier for him to get in a room with open window instead of the other….
Another reason why your review has left us stunned, is that you completely missed to mention about the participation and disposability of the Hotel STAFF and the CARABINIERI operation (and then you neither wanted to go to the police station to formalize the inspection report and complaint.
Said this, please note that we are still at your full disposal.
Best regards
