Hotel Ossidiana Stromboli Center

Great location, comfortable and clean rooms, decent breakfast, incredibly good value. Hard to fault this hotel which is located right next to the ferry terminal so very convenient. Staff were efficient and friendly. A good choice and to be recommended

Best location on the island. Staff were superb and the room was spotless. A short walk from everything and while a little old school in parts it gives the feeling of island life. Excellent breakfast in a beautiful setting. Make sure to walk down the black beach, absolutely sensational.

We were on a two week tour around the whole of Scilly and decided to take a day/night to visit stromboli. We stayed in 4 star hotels all the way apart from this three star one. However in my opinion this was the best of the lot. The hotel staff were polite and helpful. The hotel itself was charming , and reminded me of the bright colours you would expect of Mediterranean charm, a bit like in 'Mamma Mia'. Breakfast was outstanding having a large selection of local dishes, fruit, cake and pastries, truly delicious. My only regret was we didn't stay longer, and have chance to sample their food for dinner!

We (a party of 4) had booked 2 Double Rooms with Volcano View for 2 nights, but a day before check-in, we received a message from the hotel asking whether we would like to stay in a 2-room self-catering villa sea-facing instead. We were sent a weblink of Villa Ginestra, and the photos showed a sparkling and beautiful villa (with a sea view to boost), so we accepted the offer. We were also told that the villa is “not that far away” from Hotel Ossidiana (which is just 150m from the port). A staff from Hotel Ossidiana took us through a labyrinth of narrow lanes to reach the villa, which was quite far from the port if you have heavy luggage and elderly parents with you. The villa was spacious but definitely didn’t look as new and as clean as the photos. It was really dated. Due to the fact that we had already agreed for the swap the day before, and our booked rooms were probably already given to others, we decided not to make a fuss, and just stayed there. However, if we had known the condition of the villa was going to be like that, we would not have agreed to swap our rooms for it. This review, therefore, is for Villa Ginestra, rather than Hotel Ossidiana, but it can be helpful for other travellers being offered this swap in the future.

A modern welcoming hotel conveniently a stone's throw from the jetty with welcoming staff. Breakfast is very pleasant with a good choice set in its own conservatory. Drinks on the terrace overlooking the beach is very nice and all the staff are friendly and helpful, especially Susan. Treks up to the 400m maximum allowed start from next door. Good value stay in such a remote place. What an amazing island, a must in your lifetime
