Beach Hotels in Grado, Friuli Venezia Giulia

"My mom and I stayed here for 3 days and it was absolutely wonderful! We got the deluxe room with a balcony and it ended up being two small balconies which we loved. The room looked out onto the water and it was breath taking! The room was large and clean and the beds were very comfortable. The staff was so kind and helpful and we just felt like we were staying in luxury. It’s a European hotel so some stuff is old but it is extremely clean and charming. I can’t say enough wonderful things about this place. Don’t hesitate. Book it! "

"Amazing view of the city from the terrace. A nice spacious clean apartment in the heart of Trieste equipped with all the essentials. I will be booking here again on our return to Trieste "

"We had a great two night stay at the grand Astoria hotel. The staff were excellent parking our car and bringing all our luggage to the room while we went to the pool as we were early. The staff was over the top helpful at all times. It was in a great location to walk to the beach which the hotel looked after getting us our spot. All of the great restaurants and shops were right around the corner. We would definitely stay here again. "

"Amenities not as described. No laundry and no airport shuttle. Those were the two we were concerned about as we have mobility problems and were needing laundry to wash clothes for our cruise after our stay in grado .although there also was no restaurant or room service etc .At checkout were told that room taxes were to be paid in cash. Told my husband “another surprise “. Really shame on me for not reading the fine print. But the older clerk asked what other surprises so I mentioned no laundry and no shuttle. She denied that the hotel listed those. When I showed her she retracted and said we could have put our clothes on the bed and they would have washed but not ironed them lol okay well we never asked about ironing. She then told us that she could have given us the phone number for a taxi. Viola the shuttle. Lol you know how that’s the same. 270 euros for a taxi versus shared cost of a shuttle. She (the older of the clerks) told me to go back where I came from and stay there. OMG. She was quite the treat my brother couldn’t believe it as he had come to help us get our luggage to the bus station which was 2km away He definitely felt he had dodged a bullet as he chose to stay at a different hotel for his month stay at grado. Oh yes another thing don’t think that you are allowed guests at the hotel. That story for another time"
