Hotel Luna

This a beautiful quiet hotel with ocean view rooms of the Faraglioni. The pool was lovely and rooms were small but comfortable and typically European. The bathroom has a double sink. The shower is a rain-bath that can be changed to a hand held. I am not a fan but my husband loves it. The breakfast was nice with no upcharge for eggs. It’s in a quiet part of town and down the hill from the main piazza. Keep that in mind because if you can’t manage hills this is not the hotel for you. You can’t control the temperature of your AC. The pool was great but the lunch offered at the pool area is rather limited. My biggest complaint I would say is a strange one. They use some type of alcohol based cleaner to clean the rooms. With Covid I suppose a necessity and you should be happy about. But for some reason in my room - number 214 - the alcohol smell was so strong it made it hard to sleep. I felt like it was suffocating me. We could not sleep with the balcony doors open as the heat was equally as oppressive. Other members of our group did not have that problem. I could not figure out why it was so strong a smell in my room. I tried to find a source and even wiped down the tile on the floor. It was just strange but oppressive and never dissipated . I even kept the balcony doors open one afternoon during the day but that made the room hot and once the doors were shut the smell was just as strong. It was just strange. I did complain to the front desk and was told the hotel was sold out and they could not change my room. They did send a man to investigate who wore a mask so in my opinion would have impeded his sense of smell. He did not seem overly concerned and their solution was an oil based air freshener that did nothing to mask the smell. In hindsight I should have asked for the manager because it really interfered in the quality of my stay. Would have given a higher rating otherwise.
