Prato Hotels with Pools

A relatively old hotel that has most of the amenities that one might expect. The room is relatively clean. The door requires old-school key to enter (which is attached to a golf ball) so you might want to leave it behind at the hotel reception each time you head out if you do not have the pocket for it. Breakfast is the typical continental European stuff, so nothing exciting to write home about. You could always skip breakfast at the hotel and head to the old part of Prato for breakfast at a cafe instead. It is about 10-15 minutes walk. Having said that, the hotel breakfast is decent, so make your decision according to your personal requirement/preference. The main gripe I had was that the powerpoint in my room (not sure about other rooms) was of the smaller holes instead of the larger standard European holes. Those who have been around Italy would know what I'm talking about. Basically there is the old Italian powerpoint which look almost exactly the same as the current standard European powerpoint with the two round holes, except they are smaller than the current standard size. So keep this in mind.

PULIZIA accettabile ma non super. Entrando nella camera (numero 126) ho subito avvertito un forte odore di chiuso e quindi ho aperto la finestra per fare arieggiare il locale. I segni dell'usura erano molto evidenti, sui mobili e sui pavimenti. Ho tolto subito il copriletto trapuntato e l'ho adagiato sul secondo letto che non ho usato. Chiudendo le finestre, pur essendo al primo piano, non ho avvertito i rumori dalla strada e fortunatamente non ho avuto vicini chiassosi. Nel frigobar erano presenti un po' di bevande a costi accessibili. La COLAZIONE era essenziale per un 4 stelle. Salato: 3 tipi di affettati, uova strapazzate, wurstel, insalata e pomodori. Dolce: due tipi di torte, brioche, fette biscottate, yogurt, miele, marmellate, frutta. PERSONALE cortese e professionale.

Check in was not good. Despite pre-paid the room, at check in they wanted to charge me again and worst of all at the room rate was double what I have booked. They only accepted I have prepaid when I managed to produce the evidence (print out of my booking). Eventually I was told they had mistaken me with another customer with the same name. It was very uncomfortable experience. But to be fair, during the rest of my stay, the staffs were all very friendly.

Not up to the standard of a 4 star hotel, 3 stars the highest Self-driving is quite convenient, and the free parking lot is great. There are quite a lot of breakfasts, as well as Chinese steamed dumplings and spring rolls. The front desk is very warm

This is a lovely typical old Italian/European hotel. Friendly staff, great breakfast and excellent location. It was super clean and great value. My room was a bit dark till I worked out how to open the shutters. I highly recommend Hotel San Marco
