グランド ホテル エクセルシオール(Grand Hotel Excelsior)

The hotel all in all was great. The staff were kind and accommodating. The room I booked(423) was a junior suite. But it had this funny smell when coming into the room. But it was nice and spacious and had a really expansive bathroom. We switched to the room opposite (401) and it had a great sea view. Especially love the curtains surrounding the bedroom area! And the blackout curtains were great if you want to sleep in. The bathroom in this room was not as large as the previous room but it was charming. The breakfast buffet had a lot of choices. But if you want hot food you need to pay extra. The air conditioning was not up to par with what I expected. It only goes down up to 22.5 and for me that’s still warm to have a cozy night’s dream. But that’s just me. It’s near the high street and the famous gelato shop! They do have siestas so most of the shops are closed from 3-7 pm. Try the ADDUMA restaurant near the hotel. It’s fantastic! The hotel’s restaurant looks fabulous during the night. And you can go out to the terrace and enjoy the wonderful sea view with night lights lovingly encompassing the Lungomare Falcomata.

Older Hotel being renovated currently. Friendly and attentive staff. Location is ok, not great but there are plenty of hidden restaurants that are fantastico

There was construction and our balcony was non accessible. It was always dark in the room. Wish I would have known. Staff was great

The Grand Hotel was exceptional. The rooms were spacious and attractive. The selection of toiletries was the best we have ever seen. The hotel was just across from the museum. We had both an enjoyable dinner and breakfast at the restaurant.

Dark furniture, silk fabric on the walls, crisp white bed linen, but worn off towels and excellent service, that’s what we found here. Once you get to it, which isn’t easy, giving the chaotic nature of driving in Reggio, as in every other Italian city, they will park your car in their garage (€12 extra), send ice to your room upon request and make you reservation for dinner in the place of your choice, having recommended their own panoramic roof top restaurant, Gala (separate review). All in all a rather successful experience. **

Wonderful property if you are visiting Reggio. Very convenient to visit all the places in Reggio that are interesting.

The main desk person made me 2 americanos even though his English and my Italian were soso. He even pushed the elevator buttons to my floor. Above and beyond!!! It’s a very nice boutique hotel and the restaurant was also great

The hotel is right across from the reggio calabria lido train station. Very pleasant in lobby and nice rooms. Restaurant on 5th floor has great views from restaurant inside or outside. Highly recommend. Staff very friendly. English language a little iffy. Other restaurants, shops and gelato in walking distance.

Seeing Riace Warriors has been on my bucket list for 30 years. While I have visited Italy for many years, this was my first trip to Calabria. I booked Hotel Excelsior due to the close proximity to the Archeological Museum, and I could not have made a better choice. The Riace Bronzes are incredible but so are the views from Hotel Excelsior. The hotel staff were warm, welcoming, kind and considerate. The "French Bed" room had a beautiful view and was very clean and comfortable. The Breakfast had plenty of options and I dined at the restaurant each evening. Perfect. I spent 3 glorious days in Calabria and returned to Rome refreshed and delighted with my choice. I will be a frequent return guest to Grand Hotel Excelsior.
