Hotel Botanico San Lazzaro

“Drinks on the terrace”

We were staying at a hotel nearby and at night the Botanico San Lazzaro lit up was the view from our balcony. We weren’t sure whether we could pop in for a drink as non-residents but were warmly greeted by both the doorman and receptionist and escorted up in the funicular lift. We were shown around and offered a choice of seating areas; the service was excellent and prices very reasonable. Views are amazing!

This Hotel has some lovely features, we stayed for 11 nights. Most of the staff were lovely , very courteous. The drinks and restaurants very overpriced, the food was ok but not the best especially for vegetarians . Our room was upgraded as the initial room didn’t have enough storage space with a tiny shower room. The hotel was spotlessly clean other than ant infestations and the decor to a very high standard. Beautiful views for breakfast / dinner but definitely not a hotel for anyone with mobility issues as there are 88 steep steps to climb to the reception in addition to a lift which takes you only part of the way. The spa treatments are lovely and there is one complementary access to the steam room , sauna and mood shower. Overall we had a lovely stay but ate elsewhere most evenings as there are some lovely restaurants in Māori which we found with the help of trip advisor. We wouldn’t return to this hotel but definitely to the area.

“Amazing view … but”

I wanted a little beach action so took 1hr 8 min train ride from Rome to Napoli and hired car to Maiori, Italy just for 1 day/night. Hotel was recommended. Yes the view is amazing up on a cliff.

I wanted a little beach action so took 1hr 8 min train ride from Rome to Napoli and hired car to Maiori, Italy just for 1 day/night. Hotel was recommended. Yes the view is amazing up on a cliff. Yes l'd agree with a few reviewers if you have mobility issues this hotel is not for you!! There is a lift and there is someone to assist with luggage at ground level. You will have to climb stairs after the lift …...about 25-30 steps give or take there is no way around this so beware before you book. They aren't bad and shouldn't deter you from staying if in pretty good shape in terms of health. I seen few older couples handle those steps without issue !! Eveything was beautiful my only compliant was the smell of the bathroom sink water or the sink faucet itself in room 303!! Thursday June 12th. I couldn't tell if it was the faucet or the water supply but nonetheless It was awful! Despite the beautiful view I couldn't wait to leave the room because of that smell.i used the bottle water to brush my teeth it smelled so badly. The food was good, live saxophonist was the highlight. The hotel is beachfront just a quick walk across the street and can take towels ! Beach is swimmable but many pebbles! There is a beautiful well maintained pool on the premises! Saw a whirlpool. Close at 630 if I remember correctly. l'd only go back if I was assured the smell was gone! There was a complete shower in the room. Water pressure decent. Temp in room was very good !!
