What guests think

At Piazza Hotel Montecasino, travellers highlight the safe, convenient setting beside the Montecasino complex, friendly staff, and well-liked breakfast, while noting compact rooms with some noise and occasional maintenance issues that affect in-room features.

Rooms are generally clean, with housekeeping praised in several reviews. Several mention unexpected add-on taxes and patchy billing communication. Facilities feel limited for some, with no minibar, late-night options closed, and loss of sister-hotel pool access, though laundry service earns praise. Expect a practical, city-hotel experience rather than a full-resort stay.

A reasonable hotel in a complex that is safe and would be attractive for those seeking nighttime gambling pleasures. Found safe not to be working. Staff not as responsive as I would have liked.

The hotel is celan and located in a good and safe area. The only very strange thing is I arrived a bit after midnight and I had to go buy soft drinks in a casino because in the hotel there was nothing available. No mini bar, the hotel nar was closed, no room service...

I did appreciate the early check-in and the very well maintained Montecasino premises. Friendly service at Breakfast and great laundry service. Comfortable bed. Not recommended for 2 people due to the quite open desigend bathroom. very thin room door, not sound proofed at all.I have not received an invoice at the reception, they said I will get it from Expedia. I found this very unusal.

Stayed previously at this hotel when it was called Southern Sun in 2009. Nothing much has changed and it could probably benefit from a refresh in places. Biggest down side is that you can no longer use the pool at the sister 4 star hotel nearby. A massive negative for me which means will not use this hotel again.

The hotel was amazing. The staff were brilliant and helpful! The rooms were exceptionally clean. I couldn’t recommend this place enough. The only downside is there was live music outside my window which was a bit noisy.

Great overnight stay to enjoy the Monte Casino complex, have a great meal at one of the reataurants in the courtyard. The room was clean, comfortable and sufficient for a one night stay. I would recommend it to travelers passing through the area,lots to do and see. Exiting the hotel on to the courtyard was convenient. Staff are friendly, restaurant breakfast was basic but sufficient and tasty, with enthusiastic friendly staff. Overall a great experience.

Stayed for only one night - thank goodness! Put the air on in room #104 before we went for dinner came back and the room stank of cigarette smoke. The following morning we went for breakfast and asked for a table of seven it took over 45 minutes to get a cup of coffee. In fact the service was so farcical that even the waiter was laughing. I ordered an omelette and it had so much pepper in it that it was inedible. The sausages were cold and because we had to wait so long for the bacon everything else on the plate was cold. So we paid for breakfast and couldn’t even eat it. For a four star hotel it is absolutely diabolical and we definitely won’t be saying in there again.

Comfortable, within safe walking distance (about 2 minutes across the square) to Montecasino where there is a wide choice of restaurants. A lovely view of an "italian piazzo", feels like you\'re in Italy.
