Hotel Stella Maris

Maybe Stella Maris is not the most modern hotel in Italy, but nothing can beat the panorama of the sea and its atmosphere, therefore we came back already different times. One of our nicest night during the whole year was the first night in Stella Maris, with the opened windows, noise of the sea and the little wind that entered to the room, with the light of the moon as it expands on the sea. During the day it is so convenient to walk to the beach, which is also literally just a few steps from the hotel. The staff is very kind and helpful, the guests are also nice people.

The location is very close to the sea. Not directly at the beach but max 5 min away. It is also located near a supermarket and lots of restaurants. The staff was very friendly and helpful as well. The room was pretty big with TV, wardrope, table and chair. The bathroom was not the biggest but its size and equipment was perfectly adequate.

The breakfast was ok, but it lacked a little in variety. But still tasty and with dietary options. The parking space is available but the entrance is narrow and with larger car (without sensors and cameras) it is impossible to dříve there. However, the satff was happy to point us to a cheaper parking area 10 min (walking) away from the hotel.

The hotel is nice, the room as well, perfect location, very kind team, nice breakfast, comfy bed. There was a delicious smell of freshly baked cake and bread in the morning.

3 things, which were not great: the toilet flash button was very hard to press, there was dripping water in the night from the toilet, which was annoying when trying to sleep. A vegan spread as a humus, could have been nice for Vegans. We booked very last minute, otherwise I am sure they would have had something if I wrote them in advance.

Perfect location. Right by local ameneties and in quieter area if town (although you can hear beach parties in the eve, it's fine once you close the blinds). The views from the sea facing rooms are stunning and the balconies a great spot for an evening drink. Rooms are basic but have everything you need,including safe,fridge and toiletries. Beds are comfortable and air con was working. Would reccomend for a lovely stay.

Breakfast was OK. Would've been nice to have real coffee included instead of machine one.

The hotel is located right at the sea and 1 minute walk from the restaurant streets. The interior is dated and the bathroom is very small but it has a special flair to it. We didn’t mind. The walls are very thin, so you hear your neighbours. The breakfast has a good selection of ham and cheese, musli and fruit. The best part of the hotel is the staff. There is a lovely lady who can help you with almost anything. She knows the area very well and can give you just about any recommendation. She is a real darling!

Great location. Right on the sea/boardwalk. Close to the beach and many restaurants. Staff at check in were friendly. Sheets and towels were clean. The breakfast that was included was amazing! Lots of fresh meats, cheeses, buns, fruits, pastries, coffee, juice etc. nice room to eat breakfast as well as an outdoor space. Unfortunately no view of the sea. But that’s ok

We had an issue with the air conditioning. They attempted to fix it but weren’t quite understanding that if they couldn’t fix it I’d expect to be moved to another room. Instead of accommodating this request the lady at the front desk argued that the only room they had would cost me more. Don’t know why it should cost me more if they can’t provide an air conditioned room as per advertisement. It was very warm in the room! Eventually my husband was able to get it going. But they seem to control it centrally from the front desk. By the morning it was off and warm again. So this was not a pleasant experience.

this was situated right on the fron with fabulous sea views, it is quiet as ther is no direct access to the promenade but the access is only 3mins walk away, the room was a good size and facilities clean and comfortable, the floors in the dinning area are beautifully finished in marble and gives it a real italian feel, the staff were super freindly and extremely efficient. Grado is a beautifull place to visit with lots of really good restaraunts, local shops with plenty to do and see in this real italian town.

nostalgic trip down memory lane, first visit since studying in Grado Summer 87. I had no idea that the hotel was built next to the Museum, that was itself built on the site where I studied. so that was a bonus. the room was small and very clean, and that’s all you need. no one is ever going to visit Grado and stay in their room. Staff were exceptional, breakfast was fresh and plentiful and the view over the lagoon just as I remembered. if you are looking for a clean, friendly and and conveniently located hotel, you can’t really go wrong.

not much to dislike.

Everything was great! The staff was helpful, friendly and polite. I got the comfort room with sea view, which I really recommend. As people say the rooms are quite small but I don’t think that is a problem. It is in a really nice location, close to the beach and the center.

The only thing that could be a problem is the parking if it’s not available, but if you book in advance you should be able to reserve it.

Great location with very ambitious reception lady. Very good breakfast variety and nice outside seating area. Balcony to the seaside was top.

The quality of the bed could be improved, it was way too soft due to its construction. But we did not ask for a change, the view made up for this only downside.
