Hotel Caesar Residence & Spa in Lido Di Camaiore

Good location but it‘s not a 4 star hotel. It‘s too old, bathrooms need renovation. Breakfast was good.

Horrible, disappointing! This hotel needs rennovations, everything is old and smells horrible. I wouldnt give this hotel a single star.

The hotel carries the cloud of a place who’s best days are long gone. Everything is a bit run down and slightly damaged or dirty. The WiFi is slow and connects in a non-smooth old fashion way. The filthy balcony with broken furniture is unacceptable.
The breakfast is uninspiring but lunch was actually pretty good.
What is really odd is all the rules they have everywhere. The swimming pool is surrounded by a net, you have to wear swimming hats but most weird is the fitness center.
You have to pay for it, you have to pre-book and the opening hours are only in the middle of the day where you actually are doing something else.Why? I could not enter the fitness “because only 5 people are allowed - but only 3 where in the room. Why? Air conditioning is running with open windows. Why?
I have the feeling they stopped thinking about customer service and happiness a long long time ago. Or it’s the southern “ we do as we’ve always done and will not discuss what could be improved” mentality

This is a smallish hotel and a little old-fashioned. My room was modern and small but had everything I needed including fridge, TV, kettle and a comfortable bed and spacious bathroom. The balcony was narrow, just big enough for two small chairs. My room overlooked the sea, across a busy and noisy main road. The staff at the hotel were friendly and helpful. There is a good pool and garden area. However, there was very much an end-of-season vibe about the place. I was there for a week as part of a tour group and most of the other guests were also part of tour groups that came and went during the week. This is officially a four star hotel, however I have only given two stars in my review because of major problem concerning the food and dining arrangements, First, the rather meagre breakfast. The only warm breakfast available was scrambled egg which did not look appealing. There were small bowls for cereal, tinned fruit rather than sliced fresh fruit, cold meats and cheese, and breads and pastries, some of which were unappetising. The warm croissants were very nice, though. Dinner in the hotel was included in our package. I do not know if the hotel always operates like this, but as a tour group we were first of all told that we MUST eat dinner at 7.30 p.m. When you have returned from a hard day of touring this does not give much time for a shower and a relaxing drink before dinner - in fact there was very little bar culture here - the indoor bar was closed and the outdoor bar was often occupied by tour groups being given advice during the early evenings. The hotel could have made more money from us by being more flexible in dining time so that we could go to the bar. Dinner consisted of an antipasti buffet, which was very nice - however, all the guests were queuing for it simultaneously due to the 7.30 p.m. timing, which was not very sensible. Then your first and second courses were whatever you had chosen from a short menu printed the day before - the first course usually included pasta or soup, the second course a choice of three meat or fish dishes. Some of the pastas were vegetarian but there was no vegetarian main course listed - vegetarian food had to be specially requested and was occasionally fine, but on two occasions we were served dry patties made of beans or lentils with potato or a little veg (however the aubergine stuffed with vegetables and cheese was lovely). I could have happily eaten my main from the antipasti instead, but that was all cleared away by the time the main course came. The diners at my table who ate the meat or fish often found it unpalatable and left most of it. And talking of other diners, we were told we had to sit on the same table and with the same people for all meals so there was no option of sitting with different people on different days. I felt the whole approach to dinner was about saving money on food and staff wages by ensuring the staff did not have to work too late. A fixed dining time and having to
