Grand Hotel Osman Ristorante il Danubio

Location: Conveniently positioned near a major highway, making it a practical spot for travelers, especially for one-night stays or as a stopover during longer trips. The hotel is well-situated for visiting nearby attractions such as Paestum and Cilento.

Avoid. Worst hotel we've ever stayed at. Not a 4* hotel (charges rates like one though). - There was a strange odour in the room. - The room had not been cleaned properly, there were cobwebs found on the walls and on the ceiling. - There are cracks on the walls along with water stains, the room in general is not in good condition. - We have booked a king room but the bed is not a king or double bed but just two single beds pushed together. - The aircon was noisy making a rattling sound when on. - The soap holder in the bathroom was chipped and there was a big crack on the shower floor. - The fixtures in the bathroom were also loose and the door was difficult to lock. - We found hair lodged in the shower tray, so it seems that the bathroom had also not been properly cleaned. - The breakfast was poor (€6 each). The bread and pastries were stale. There were no milk or bowls for cereal and only instant coffee was included with breakfast. It was bad quality coffee and we could not drink it, in order to have acceptable quality coffee we had to pay extra. When we brought this to management's attention on the day after our first night stay, we received stares from the front desk staff as we walked through the foyer. I’ve attached their response in the photos, but essentially no resolution offered. They commented that the stale coffee was for a "group of Poles" and that we made a "very cheap reservation from Booking which does not include breakfast or swimming pools". It was not a cheap reservation, it was for a king room at a 4* hotel. There was also a €7 charge to use the pool. Even the Italians in our party found this to be really odd and were unhappy with it. They tried to explain away the issues with the air conditioning by saying that the room was not cooling down as it was hot outside. Clearly, it was an issue they were aware of. We had not had this issue with any of our other accommodations, since the whole point of an air conditioning unit is to cool down your room when it is hot. On checkout, the front desk staff asked us why we were not happy with our room. I began to list the issues and he stopped me mid-sentence and waved me off. Terrible customer service. Photographs attached along with their email response.
