Marina di Carrara Hotels

Theo and his staff went out of their way to make our week's stay here a most enjoyable one. Having stayed at one of Marina di Massa's many two-star hotels on a previous trip, the Hotel Gabrini was a significant upgrade. The hotel is close to everything, but on a quiet side street. We would most certainly return should business or pleasure take us back to the northern Tuscany coast.

Based on the price paid and the quality of service we received, there is nothing negative to report. This was a 3-star hotel with 5-star service.

The owner and the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. We were not there during peak season and ate at other locations.

Its location adjacent to mountains and sea. Its cleanliness and general comfort and the quiet natue of the surrounding area

One thing only- breakfast was not available until 8am.

Near the beach, calm surroundings

The personal seemed to be very tired of tourists. Didnt feel welcome at all. Bad bed. The cleaning ladys were friendly.

Great location and very friendly staff. Especially Sara!

We were sorry that the Roof Garden was not in operation. However, with the chairs and tables there is was great for private alfresco lunches.

the rooms were very comfortable and clean, the hotel is very modern and contemporary, the spa facility is a nice idea but very small, breakfast buffet was good and the staff were helpful and friendly

location not much to offer if you only want a beach its fine but if not then you are a bit stuck luckily we had a car. they won't give you an iron but will charge outrageous amounts to iron clothes, there are no tea and coffe facilities in the room and no room service.or bar although the reception staff will get you a drink if you wait 10 minutes. the spa is too small so once there are more than 4 people in there its overcrowded. the "sea or mountain views" are debatable you see them in the distance your actual views are of a main road and apartment blocks. there is a big underground car park but don't use it they don't tell you but it's 12 euros a night to park there. if you want an extra hot drink at breakfast they charge you for it

The hotel was a pleasant surprise. Newly refurbished and nice and clean. Pleasant and helpful staff. Good and calm atmosphere. Close to the beach. To us this was a perfect location for visiting Portofino, Genova, Cinque Terre, Pisa, Florence, Luca etc. by car, and visiting the beach in between. Very nice breakfast to eat outside or inside. Again it was so calming, relaxing and pleasant. Free parking and always place for the car. Free internet with ok speed. Certainly a hotel to recommend.

First impressions were a little disappointing, we arrived and had to walk through restaurant to the reception.The room appeared cramped ( a table and chairs in front of the wardrobe made access awkward ) and the bathroom shower appeared small. Our initial fears were allayed however on opening the terrace door, the terrace was roomy enough for 2 loungers, a table, and 4 chairs. The view from this terrace could not have been bettered, the Magra river flowing into the Med. on one side and the Apuan Alps on the other. ( we also had a shared balcony on the river side. ) As our week progressed we grew to love the Stella, It's not 5 star luxury but a charming family run hotel, the staff were always helpful and friendly,and the breakfasts good.

Upon reflection we had no complaints at all.

We only stayed one night, arriving very late, though they were waiting for us to cheque in. Very nice people, friendly and helpful. The room had really nice view of the river, spacious and quiet.

maybe a rethinking of the design would help a lot and improvement of the quality of the sheets as well. The hotel had no elevator, but thanks to their help with the luggage no problem at all.

A well designed building ( and rooms), helpful staff and good atmosphere.

friendly helpful owner, very good evening menu, lovely pool, good location for beach and near sarzana an amazing old town

The hotel seems to have been recently refurbished. The staff is friendly and welcoming. The situation is ideal, if you are looking for a hotel on the sea front that is. The room was spacious and very clean. The breakfast is very nice, proper coffee is served (not the usual cheap dirty water thingy). Would definitely recommend this hotel.

for us it was an easy stay on our way from italy to the Norh, cheap and clean, absoltely not a romantic hotel

the breakfast: never had such a bad coffee and the table was made during our breakfast (about 9.30, not so early)

Matter of fact, no nonsense hotel with smart, clean but basic rooms. Not brilliant for beach and nightlife unless you have a car. Pool was fine. Restaurant looked like a school canteen but didn't eat so food quality unknown. Bar was available and service well intentioned if limited. Broadly Italian based clientale. Hotel seemed to be running on budget - there were no efforts made to staff poolside bar or provide menu service. In short, good value option but don't expect English speaking, full ammenity hotel.

We had one of the best rooms, top floor access to the room via balcony and ocean view.

Breakfast just isn't good in italy.

Quite, nice patio both at ground and roof top

Parking was a challange

It's location was perfect for my business trip, meaning I did not have long distance to travel after breakfast.

Although the rooms are clean, it is quite a basic hotel. I would not use the word luxury to describe it.

Nice spacious room for two adults and two kids. Kid friendly hotel. Nice swimming pool. Closed perimeter. Friendly staff. No extra costs.
