We loved the hotel and everyone we were in contact with. Everyone was so friendly, cheerful and helpful. They made us feel welcome and could not have been more gracious. Room was a little small, but very clean and nice. Breakfast offered was substantial. Location was excellent, close to the beach. Would definitely stay there again.

9.7

This was a great place to stay, central and close to the beach and other city activities.

8.9

This is one of the first hotels that I would strongly recommend to a friend. We usually stay in at least 4 star but since it was a short stay for a wedding we settled for this 3 star. Couldn't believe the friendliness of the staff- Luca gave me an umbrella when going to get my hair doen, his wife dropped us to the airport as there was a train strike. Breakfast was great.

9.1

A very welcoming small familyhotel. Breakfast good with cheese,, cold cuts, bacon, egg and so on, different fresh fruit, (when we visited it was Cherrys!) Tirrenia is in the middle of everything: beach, shopping and resturants. Parking is on the street, you buy a permit from the hotel for 5 euro/day. Threr is a very small backyard where you can enjoy a glass of wine or a Moretti. This hotel is for everyone.

9.6

The service was excellent and the staff was terrificly friendly and helpful.

9.4

Tirrenia is a very modern, small hotel on the first block up from the beach in the heart of Viareggio. The hotel staff is very friendly and helpful. Our room was relatively large for an Italian hotel room, with a comfortable bed, and sparkling clean. The room had a small balcony overlooking the street with a slight view to the sea. Breakfast was adequate with cold cuts, fruit, scrambled eggs, cereal, and a little pastry.

9.3

Very welcoming staff, clean pleasant room and an excellent breakfast

9.2

We had a lovely stay and were very well cared for by the owners' parents who were in charge of the hotel. We could not have been made more welcome. Thank you.

8.3

A lovely hotel, Clean, comfortable and close to all areas. Staff were extremely helpful.

8.9

It is very nice to stay, it was located ih the center of town, so veru easy to go to the beach, restaurant,etc.

9.4

Very friendly and forthcomming, helpful owners and the atmosphere was plesant. Breakfast was exellent. The hotel had a good location to resaurants and beaches, We'll go back in the near future.

8.9

Very good free breakfast, friendly staff, Rooms are small but we went there to see the town not sit in the room watching TV!

9.4

Suitable for anyone looking for good value, cleanliness, quiet, and safe surroundings. Very friendly family-run hotel, excellent breakfast served in pleasant breakfast room. Clean and comfortable, not fancy, but all the basics. Unfortunately the shower was weird; that was the only drawback.

8.4

The family run hotel could not have been more welcoming or friendly. They went out of their way to ensure we had everything we needed and were very attentive. Breakfast was excellent, with wide choice. Location was fantastic with easy access to beach. Rooms were clean with fridges and air conditioning. Would recommend hotel to everyone !

8.8

The hotel was clean and well maintained. The location was convenient to everything. The staff were helpful and attentive.

8.8

Our stay at the Tirrenia Hotel was excellent. The people were very friendly and couldn't have done more for you. The entire hotel was spotless. The only thing we found, was when our bathroom window was open, and the people in the next room had theirs open, it almost seemed like we were in the same room! Viareggio is very lively and the beach is lovely. Would go back again.

8.7

The hotel was clean and lived up to its billing. Mr Lucca and his family were very welcoming; the rooms were cleaned promptly every day; the breakfasts were excellent. I just wish we were able to take the hotel to other locations - Mr Lucca should be very happy with the quality of service he provides.

9.9

Our family enjoyed the stay at this hotel tremendously. We wished, we had booked another night. The owners are very friendly and helpful. Parking in the street can be difficult during high season, but they have a garage space nearby, and drove us there, both ways. The beach is only half a block away, rooms are welcoming, clean, with everything you need, the breakfast is the best we got in Italy (great variety, incl. beautiful fresh fruit, salami, cheese, croissants, etc.), and it is served until 10.30 am.

8.2

We had ordered a room for for three people and this room was probably ment for two.. The staff was always helpful and smiling. A very nice beach

9.8

Luca, the owner and his charming parents make everyone very welcome and are very helpful.

9.1

I think the hotel was just perfect, for what we paid to stay in the hotel, it was certainly value for money. The staff are so friendly, they went out of the way for us,we arrived in late and they came and collected us from the airport. The hotel was just spotless, fresh towels everyday and fresh beding. The breakfast was lovely. I just felt it was very homely and there's nothing you could fault. If I was to complain it would be the noise factor, it was quite noisy in the hotel, I think this is due to the whole hotel is in marble, so any shoes would cause noise, but while we were there, the hotel was having some work done on the side of the hotel, so that was quite noisy at 8 in the morning, not every day. Even the location to the beach was great and they had a deal with the beach owers and you were entitled to a reduced rate, which is great. The hotel was just in a great location to the train and the bus services, which I found brilliant as well. Over all a brilliant hotel and I certainly going to recommend it to everyone and I will hopefully get back some day. I would just like to say thanks to Lucca and his family for looking after us so well on our Honeymon.

8.9

This was a pretty nice place that was getting a little worn around the edges. The staff was wonderful and it is fine for anyone not expecting the Ritz. The location was fantastic - close to the beach.

9.9

Friendly owner and family. Helpful advice re places to visit. Owner phoned for hire car prices etc and we got a good price! Will definitely return to the hotel next year!

8.2

This was a great place to stay. It is a 10-15 minute walk from the train station but very close to the beach. The staff is very helpful and had free internet use in the lobby. They had a great breakfast they served every morning. The only thing we didn't like is the beds and pillows were very hard.

10

I stayed in Hotel Terrinia in March 2006, and once again the stay was immensely enjoyable, many thanks!

9.4

The owner, Luca was very welcoming and helpful with restaurant recommendations, keen to make sure that he recommended not just good restaurants but also the type we were looking for. The hotel is well located just off the front. The front looks a great place to stay, but can be noisy if you stay there, as we have before at another hotel. There is wifi in the rooms but also a free internet terminal in the lobby if you don't bring a laptop. On our last day we had to leave before 7am and although breakfast did not start until 7.30am they were up to make sure we had coffee and rolls before we left. We have booked again for our next trip.

8.8

Our first introduction to the hotel was the phone call we made when we got a little disoriented on arrival - the directions given were great! The welcome we received was warm and friendly, as if we had been returning and not arriving for the first time. English is spoken by most staff and they were very kind about our elementary Italian. The room was clean and a good size, including the bathroom (large shower), and there was a nice little balcony. We had asked for two beds but the room was made up for a double; the minor problem was corrected while we went for dinner. The staff also let us know about a street carnival a short walk away (more directions given). The breakfast is great and there is good access to the internet. The beach (and Carnivale route) is a block away. My favourite thing about this hotel was the owners and staff - exceptionally friendly, helpful and accommodating. I will recommend this hotel to friends, and will stay here again if I return to Viareggio.

9.9

Owner Luca and his family could not have been friendlier or more helpful. The hotel was spotlessly clean and the breakfast was far superior to a very good 4* star hotel, stayed in, just along the road. Great value for money and a great location for beach, shops and transport.

8.6

So many hotels to choose from in the area, but this hotel is on a side street not far from the main drag and beach, clean and bright rooms, comforatble beds, good breakfasts and is family owned/operated. For the area, a very good hotel for the price.

9.4

Excellent service from english speaking staff. Helpful w/dinner reservations. Breakfast very good. Would definately stay again and recommend.

10

Excellent staff. Very accomodating, friendly, and helpful.

We had stayed for a week in a village about 3 hrs from Pisa and wanted to stay closer to the airport on the last night of our hols to avoid early morning long distance driving. Hotel Tirrenia was chosen mostly for it's proximity (20-30 mins drive) from Pisa. In that respect it fulfilled it's task perfectly. More than that though, the hotel is lovely, the staff friendly and helpful, the location is literally seconds from the beach. Our expectations were more than exceeded. Viareggio itself is great; an abundance of sandy beach, beautiful water, shops, cafes and restaurants. A great end to a great holiday in tuscany. Next time we will book three or so days here before our week long venture into rural tuscany and three more days afterwards to create the perfect balance of a relaxing cultural holiday. Highly recommended.

9.6

An absolute gem of a hotel, very close to the beach front and the Marina. Service was fantastic nothing, was too much trouble

9.8

Excellent location close to promenade, good restaurants and the market. The hotel and rooms were spotlessly clean. Very good continental breakfast. Lucca and his parents couldn't have been more friendly and Lucca gave very helpful advice on restaurants, travel, cycle hire, and on buying tickets for Puccini Opera at Torre de Lago. He also looked up train times for travel to Cinque Terre and we can recommend this highly as a day out if you like walking. He also advised us on bus transport back to Pisa Airport. There are grander hotels in Viareggio but we are sure none as welcoming as the Tirennia. Stuart and Ann Marie Alexander.

Very friendly helpful staff. Nice town to stay for a few relaxing days on the beach after a hectic sightseeing tour.Would stay here again and happy to recommend.Had day out in Lucca nice but we were churched out by this point.

Hotel très cher "indiqué 3 étoiles", qui ne vaut guere plus qu'un 2 etoiles et encore. J'ai beaucoup voyage dans plusieurs pays (France, Italie, Espagne, Pays-bas, Brésil, US 10aine d'etats, Canada...) et fait de tous les hotels, 1, 2, 3, 4 etoiles... celui ci ne vaut pas plus que 2 etoiles. Ratio Prix/Prestations tres cher par rapport aux hotels alentours. Preferez le London que j'ai essayé - honnetement rien à voir (petit dej gargantuesque, chambre de 16m2, SdB avec baignoire, vrai silence...), le San Francisco ou encore l'Eden juste a cote. Le Tirrenia n'est pas en front de mer (oui il est au bord de la mer... normal dans une station balneaire), les chambres avec vue sur mer ne sont pas panoramiques (enfin si du bout du balcon) et ne sont disponibles (nous en avions demandé une comme proposé sur le site) qu'avec réservations de plusieurs mois à l'avance (dixit le gérant à notre arrivée!!!). Petit déj très simple - non continental (3 etoiles normalement !!!). Chambre tres bruyante (entre la chambre du dessus et les bruits du couloir) et chambre tres petite (9m2 incluant le coin douche tout petit - difficile de tourner meme dans la douche, qui utilise les 2 murs du coin et 2 especes de portes pliantes... space... digne d'un 1 etoile) avec vue sur le balcon du voisin - que je pouvais toucher de la main... pas tres agreable. L'entree de l'hotel est plutot à 60/80m de la mer que 30m comme annoncés. Pour info, aucun hotel à Viareggio n'est directement sur la mer. il y a un boulevard Voiture + boulevard pieton large a traverser puis acces aux plages privées (soit 95% des plages disponibles) J'ai vraiment ete tres decu par le niveau de prestation de l'hotel pour un 3 etoiles et pour le prix de 130 Euros qui correspond bien a un 3 etoiles sur la cote. Si vous cherchez un vrai 2 etoiles, ils debutent à 60euros (ce que devrait etre le Tirrenia). Les vrais 3 etoiles sont effectivement a 130/150 Euros. Equipe tres accueillante - rien à dire la dessus

Very attractive, friendly hotel

7.9

Petit hôtel joli et bien situé. Accueil sympathique et personnel compétent. Bonnes prestations. Chambre cependant mal insonorisée et douche beaucoup trop exigüe. Avis globalement satisfaisant.

7.1

The hotel was convenient for the promenade and was well placed within the lively and vibrant town. The staff were friendly and accomodating. The only disappointment was that the triple room was small, and would only be suitable if the party contained small children.

9.9

Hotel situated in the best part of town, close to shops, bus station,train station 10 minute walk away, 50 metres from promenade. The rooms, and in fact,all the hotel are spotlessly clean,with individually controlled air conditioning and useful safe.Luca and his parents made us very welcome, and provided useful information regarding restaurants and bus/train times and destinations. Breakfast was superb,with Luca`s mums home cooking the highlight. If in Viarregio again i will definitely try and stay in Hotel Tirrenia

8.9

We thought the room, the service and the general atmosphere was very good if not excellent, and could not be bettered for the price we paid. The manager and his parents were always patient and helpful. The manager recommended a number of restaurants. We tried four of them and they were all very good, apart from one (Sale e Pepe, which really was not good). The only complaint (and this was very small) is about the parking. We had to park on the street and this was always more difficult (narrow or tight) than it should have been. However, the staff were always available to guide us in. I had mentioned when booking that we were coming by car so would need a parking space but only the space on the street itself was available, though parking was advertised.

8.6

Stayed two nights at the Tirrenia during a self planned driving tour of Northern Italy. Lucky to get a parking space on the road outside the hotel (I would have gladly paid for garage space) but the location seems safe and is well placed for the sea front. Air-con in room essential as temp hit 37C on arrival. Breakfast was good but it needed to be as this was one of the more expensive of our 8 hotel stop-overs. Staff were friendly and helpful whenever called on.

9.8

We enjoyed a very pleasant and comfortable week at the family run Tirrenia. The room was spotlessly clean and the breakfasts very good.The owner was extremely friendly and helpful, recommending good local restaurants, places to visit and advising us about buses,trains,etc. We would recommend it and would definitely go back as the resort is easy to get to from Pisa airport by bus or train. Hotel was excellent value and close to beach, promenade,etc. and we didn't need to hire a car as public transport is fairly reliable.

8.4

We only stayed for one night, but liked the hotel very much. The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. They recommended a restaunt two blocks away that turned out to be the most delicious and cheepest we ate during our whole two weeks stay in Italy. The hotel was basic but tidy. At the time it was full booked, so the price was quite high, but overall I really enjoyd staying there. Viareggio is a nice place, and I am looking forward to returning there and to Tirrenia.

We had a great stay. The hotel is clean and comfortable and very well situated. Breakfast was very good with a wide viarity of food on offer and plenty of it. Lucca recomended varios places to eat and he was spot on as these resturants were of superiour quality to those on the promanade. The bus terminal that goes to the airport is only 3 blocks away( 5 mins with cases) and that is a far better way to get to the hotel and about 50euros cheaper too!!!. Lucca gives dicounted tickets to the beach and that save about 3euros per day. All in all we really enjoyed our stay in Viareggio and if we decide to return we would DEFINITLY stay at the Tirrenia. Furthermore we would also catch the bus from the airport instead of a taxi-The airport bus stops right beside the Leaning Tower! Transport links are good the train station is only 20 mins walking away, from there youcan go anywhere! Thanks to Lucca and his family for making our stay really good!
