Grand Hotel Tamerici & Principe

Is not a 4 stars hotel, neither the services, neither the furniture. But the breakfast and the piscine are good.

Precioso hotel

Amazing hotel. I came with me family here and we felt like home from the very first moment. Super friendly staff, delicious food, clean and spacious rooms, very close to the center of Montecatini. Everything you need to spend a great vacation, you’ll find here. Super recommended!

We had a very enjoyable week in this rather grand and classically Italian hotel, which is well placed for access to the town centre and maybe a couple of kilometres from the furnicular to visit Montecatini Alto. Our room was large, comfortable, immaculately clean, loads of storage and extra pillows and blankets available in the room which saved having to ask for them if required. We had a fourth floor street facing room, with rooftop and mountain views. There was some road noise, but not enough to spoil our stay. Food was adequate and service was a little chaotic on occasion.

The hotel was nice but a little tired. Our room was good, nice size, plenty of storage and hanging space. Bathroom good, again plenty of space. Great pressure in the shower. Nice and clean. Beds comfortable and clean. No view which was disapponting. In retrospect we should have asked for a different room. Food was very disappointing and we felt was possibly a lower standard because we were on a tour. No fresh fruit at breakfast, though plenty of choice of pastries. Staff warm and friendly, particularly at reception.

Sadly this hotel is no longer grand. Like the town itself, it is run down and needs major money spent on it. Hotel staff were very pleasant, very helpful and my room was kept perfectly clean. Most spas nearby were boarded up and covered with graffiti. BUT travelling by funicular to MONTECATINI ALTO was the highlight of my week. Tiny but well worth the trip. Local people in Terme and Alto were very friendly and helpful.

This is my favourite Hotel in Montecatini. It is a Beautiful Hotel close to everything. The staff are amazing and very helpful, The food is top quality and there is a great choice of dishes . Great pool area to relax. We will be returning next year.

We were part of a tour and lucky to be allocated a top floor room overlooking trees and a park. We had a balcony with table and chairs that we made use of in the early evening before we went out. Breakfasts were very good. Great location with plenty of places to eat. Downside for us was the road noise. Dreadful with motor bikes and fast cars being driven up and down until the early hours. Although the weather was heating up we couldn't turn the AC on and the hotel didn't have any fans to give us. So the nights were not good.

So first the noise. There is no sound proofing in the building so all movements from surrounding rooms can be heard - showers, scraping chairs, shutters and windows and doors banging. The hotel tips bottles into a skip c6am each morning which serves as an unwelcome alarm clock. The builfing is a U shape and all the inner rooms look out to a building site with hammering and drilling so after interrupted nights there us also no chance of a daytime rest. Secondly the room was quite dark and oppressive orange, matched with dark wood furniture from the 1930s. The fridge didn't work and the rainfall shower was just a drip, leaving only a handheld shower. Very basic shower gel, one tiny soap for a week and small thin rags for towels. Breakfast was poor, little fresh fruit and had to buy some cereal from the supermarket as only cornflakes and cocopops were available. The food at the set evening meals was good, but not enough vegetables for my liking. The staff are friendly and helpful but, sadly, this does not make up for the many downsides of staying here.
