Enotel Baia

There is an open kitchen where you can order eggs and pancakes and etc and a tip box as you leave. The buffet style kitchen I huge and well set out. I like to eat and ponder so, going early allows me to grab a window seat. Now, the drawbacks weren’t exactly the hotels fault but, I feel that things like rock falls and closed bridge issues should be related to customers as they check in and, hotels like this one should have an in-site shop to get snacks and water, soda etc. I was, today, due to walk along the bridge from my hotel and meet friends at the end. It’s a beautiful walk however, the mountain is being worked in and the bridge at both ends is closed! So, now I’m not only stuck for the day but the closest shop is up a steep road that has no path! Lastly, a taxi rank is in front of the hotel and last night and this morning after a walk after breakfast, the same taxi driver followed me to my hotel and stood gaping up at me while I read on my balcony! UNCOMFORTABLE!

While I appreciate this isn’t the hotels fault I feel the hotel manager needs to have a word with the taxi drivers and ask them to stay in their cars and not hound their guests!

And, while I appreciate that the mountain being worked in since the rock fall last year isn’t the hotels fault again, I should have been made aware of this and been asked if I don’t mind being near to the workers and the noise, lights shining as I try to sleep etc.

Finally, the guest below me smokes! Woke me up at 5am with the stench! I appreciate not everywhere has inspired people to not smoke but to have a balcony is for relaxation not to smoke like a chimney 247! I hope he leaves soon before I gag to death!

On the whole, I’d give the hotel 5/5 but the lack of knowledge of the mountain work and the creepy taxi men need to be fed back as I’m a solo traveller and need to feel safe and in the loop!

If you do visit here make sure you hire a car as there are no shops at all close by
