Bel hôtel avec accès directement sur une très jolie plage avec chaises longues réservées 👍. Le seul point négatif est l’insonorisation des chambres qui est pratiquement inexistante ☹️.
Das Hotel war für eine 4 Stern Residenz eher mager. Wenn sich Leute in den Gängen bewegten , übertrug sich das Geklapper vom in die Zimmer. Nachtruhe war schlecht (bis um 11.00 Uhr sehr laut. Das Personal an der Rezeption wahr kalt und unfreundlich. Das Zimmer war gross und gut eingerichtet. Wir würden Dieses Hotel nicht mehr besuchen. (nicht weiter Empfehlen.
Excellent staff. Everyone helpful, courteous and friendly. Fantastic views. Great beach access. Only complaint is thin walls of room. We could hear every word of people in next room.
We stayed in this hotel for a few days during Spring Break with a 3 old kid.
The location of the hotel on the Biodola beach is fantastic. The hotel infrastructure is also extraordinary with tennis courts and all the services available on site and in the nearby Hermitage Hotel. We also appreciated very much the staff kindness and professionalism, especially because of the extra attention a little kid needs. Overall we were very happy with our staying. On the side of improvement, the rooms—at least on the ground floor, which still has the great advantage of the access to the garden—were not well soundproofed and at night we could clearly hear people talking in the near rooms. Also the shower in the bathtub was rather cramped. Other than that we enjoyed very much our staying and we plan on returning to this hotel.
We stayed at hotel biodola for 9 days. The hotel was lovely and the staff were fantastic really helpful friendly and polite. We rented a car which the hotel arranged for us and had a great time exploring the beautiful island! There's a couple of restaurants close by such as Luciano & Retro gusto that do amazing food. A fab stay overall! I'd happy go back to Elba island and Hotel Biodola any time.
CAMERA affianco un cane che abbaiava tutta la notte,
ho fatto reclemo verbale e scritto.
(la struttura riceve gli animali ), impossibile riposare,
Mi anno "scritto" e promesso sconti per scusarsi del disagio,
promessa che non ha avuto seguito,
peccato, peche struttura bella, comoda, pulita, sevizio generale ottimo.
Très belle découverte de l'île.
Cependant, le restaurant de l'hôtel est très cher et pour dîner à un prix raisonnable, il faut prendre la voiture sur des routes sinueuses de montagne.
Bella struttura sulla bellissima spiaggia della Biodola, con ottimo servizio ristorante e staff attento e professionale. Camera non molto spaziosa ma pulita. Ottima la possibilità in spiaggia di poter usufruire di docce , spogliatoi e teli anche dopo il check-out. Consigliato
Not worth the money, too expensive and some of the staff mainly the reception are not very helpful. The hotel is very very noisy, you basically can't sleep in the morning.
Etwas schade für ein Hotel dieser Klasse war, dass für die Badetücher pro Tag zusätzlich EUR 2,00 verlangt wurden.

Waren 1 Woche Anfang Juli (grosse Hitze...) im Hotel, zum Glück sind die Zimmer gut klimatisiert. Zimmer selbst sind guter Standard und sehr sauber (Servicepersonal und Putzfeen sind wirklich hervorragend) allerdings auch extrem hellhörig. Wer schon mal neben einer ital. Familie mit Kleinkind gewohnt hat, weiss, dass das "grosses Kino" sein kann, ob man will oder nicht...! Essen sollte man unbedingt mit HP wählen, da der Ort ansonsten keine grossen Möglichkeiten bietet. Ausserdem ist das Abendessen auch wirklich sehr gut, wenn auch schlecht für die Bikinifigur! Strand inkl. Liegen & Schirme - das Ganze bekommt man vom Hoteleigenen Bademeister zugeteilt bzw. darf ein freies Eck wählen - garantiert Plätze auch bei späterem Erscheinen und macht Reservierungen mittels Handtuch überflüssig...! Wasser hatte eine super Qualität, Sandstrand war gut gepflegt. Alles in allem: empfehlenswert und für einen reinen Badeurlaub sehr gut geeignet.
It is a nice hotel right next to the beach. The scenery is so beautiful. The hotel staff was very nice and helpful.

Schönes Hotel in sehr guter Lage
Sehr gute Lage in schöner Bucht mit eigenem Strand. Hotel selbst von den Zimmern her nicht mehr auf allerneustem Stand, aber immer noch gut. Abendessen hervorragend, Frühstück für Italien sehr gut. Leider hatten wir ein relativ kleines Zimmer. Die meisten anderen waren größer und evtl. auch neuer.
Les chambres sont de taille correctes, propres et très bien aménagées avec beaucoup de rangement très bien conçu. Petit balcon pratique. Emplacement idéal près d'une grande plage de sable très agréable avec système d'attribution d'un parasol et de transats pour toute la durée du séjour. Loin d'autres villages de l'île. Restaurant de l'hôtel à éviter car la salle ressemble à un immense réfectoire sans aucun charme et bruyant.
Everything was fantastic. The location was spectacular. Great beach, great swimming. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The facilities were well maintained. Two minor complaints, the bed was marginal and the dress code for the restaurant was annoying. It was too hot to dress for dinner when it was 35 degrees so I went elsewhere.
