Hotel Le Palme

“Back again”

We stayed here last year with little complaint, so decided to give it another go. This time round was pretty similar to the last. Arriving by car once again, Le Palme is very easy to get to from the motorway. We did not make use of the basement parking (which is an additional charge) but chose to park out the front in the street. It was easy enough to find parking each night and for some reason there was an army presence at the hotel while we were there, which saw two army vehicles out the front and personal in the lobby at all times. A special guest must have been staying - celebrity, politician? We didn't know but the car was certainly safe in the street!! The room was the same as last year - we may have even been in the exact same room - and once again, the size was ok with enough space for three of us in a triple, but the bathroom is very small and the shower is difficult to manoeuvre in because its so tiny. But, it was spotlessly clean and that is the most important thing, as was the room in general. The wifi was also good with a strong signal, but it was based on the floor of our room, so we had difficulty using wifi whilst in the breakfast room. Breakfast staff were warm and friendly, but the reception staff this year were not as quite as warm as I remember previously. The breakfast is still pretty basic, but its enough to start the day. The croissants were great however, and we were always asked if there was anything in particular we would like. We will no doubt be back in Gioia Tauro again some time in the future. I have no serious compliant about this hotel, so no reason not to go back, but there is no wow factor, which makes me wonder if i might explore what other options are available in town. I suspect theres not much else that is equivalent, which means we will probably be back again, and once again, without complaint.

“Better than expected for a small town”

We stayed here for three nights recently and didn't really know what to expect of hotels in tGioia Tauro. Le Palme was a pleasant surprise!

We stayed here for three nights recently and didn't really know what to expect of hotels in tGioia Tauro. Le Palme was a pleasant surprise! The hotel seemed to be quite new, our room was large, clean and comfortable (although the decor was not to my taste) and the bathroom was spotless! The hotel itself was also quiet. Breakfast was included, and while simple, it was certainly adequate. The hotel had car parking available for a charge, however we were able to park in the street in the evenings and the car was quite safe here. The hotel is easy to find when driving from Lamezia Terme airport. What more can I say? A pleasant stay!!
