It’s an older hotel, needs renovation. My kids A/c didn’t work, our tv had no signal. They tried to overcharge me at checkout. It’s in a nice area with a good place to swim and relax by the water.

Nice hotel with elevator access to a private beach. They have a restaurant at the beach for lunch. Food in the dining room and beach was excellent. The beds and pillows are the hardest, most uncomfortable that I have ever had in a hotel.

Mixed Feelings
This hotel rates itself as 4 stars, but is really only 3 star level, with some added features. The positives are the friendly staff, great view from our window across the bay to Port Azzurro and the nice private beach area below the hotel accessed by the hotel lift. There are areas of wooden decking and sand, a bar and basic restaurant, which we did not eat in. The 2 hotel pools looked fine. The downsides include the shabby and weather worn exterior of the hotel, although the rooms and interior public areas have been upgraded somewhat. But the big downside, was the poor value for the facilities and lack of ambience for the money paid for the room. I imagine the cost of the upkeep of the 2 pools, the lift to the private beach and maintenance generally, are high. Another downside is no outside restaurants are accessible by foot from the hotel. We drove to Porto Azzurro, but that takes 15 minutes, and then is a hassle to find a carpark. The second night we had dinner in the hotel restaurant, which we found a good experience, with tasty food and efficient friendly service at reasonable prices. However, overall we felt that the hotel was not good value for money.

Spectacular views.
Our superior room was large and comfortable with spectacular views. The bathroom was spacious and clean. Over all the decor is rather dated and carpets are stained in public areas which gives an undeserved bad impression. The restaurant with great views if you are lucky serves a variety of good food with excellent service. The breakfast is particularly good except for terrible coffee and dreadful fruit juice. I couldn’t drink either which I found disappointing. The pools are large and clean but too salty and caused eye discomfort. Reception staff are helpful and friendly. The car park is a long steep walk away from the reception. The private beach which is reached via lift was clean. There is a bar and an over priced restaurant.

Great to have pontoon access to sea, not crowded and good pools. Provided gluten free breakfast on request. Better if provided fresh fruit juice. Bar meals / drinks expensive We did not have balcony so no outdoor space or view from room but did provide adjoining room for our daughter. Stayed 5 nights- good amount of time. Able to bring dogs / cats at additional cost

Great hotel, sea view room was amazing with a great view. Good beach close to the hotel. Hotel restaurant was excellent and served great food. Hotel location is not the best for visting shops, restaurants and exploring round the island if you can’t drive or not willing to hire a bike. Therefore it’s expensive taxis journeys. If you are looking to relax and not wander to far away from the hotel with beautiful scenic views then the location is perfect. It was good value compared to other places in Italy.

4 exceptional days at Isola Elba
Our 4 day vacation at the Grand Hotel Elba International was terrific. The location is exceptional on this island. located across from Porto Azzuro. The Grand Hotel Elba is a slightly older hotel, but very well kept up, it has a small but very nice water level beach type area carved out of the cliff. Lots of chairs and umbrellas on the raised platforms over the water. Also has two pools at the Hotel which are very, very nice. Check in was easy and very efficient, with all information needed provided to us. Hotel staff was very nice Especially Romina and Janina at the front desk. helped us out and made some very good suggestions.

Great find but was a hike to get anywhere. Views from the room were nice and rooms were very clean and spacious. A bit noisy at times but staff was friendly and helpfull. Overall would recommend if looking for a nice semi remote location on the island.

Good location,room views variable,staff excellent.
Wotif moved us from a hotel we preferred to this hotel (other being renovated). We were a bit concerned as the nature of the Elba International looked to hotel-ish and not enough Elba style. And that is true, but it is very comfortable especially if you get a room with a view to Port Azzurro. From the other side, there is no view. That is what we were given and we were not happy to start with. But given the general facility of the hotel, the excellent staff, the fabulous views from the public areas, the private beach, the excellent breakfasts, we ended up being very pleased with the hotel.

Room with a (sea) view
We'd booked a junior suite with a sea view. The room was very large and very comfortable. The sea view was spectacular! Breakfast was great - the pool was wonderful and the beach area was fine with crystal clear water. We took a water taxi over to nearby Porto Azzuro twice for dinner and that was a fabulous experience. Very highly recommended.

The best view in the area.
The staff are very friendly. Hotel is clean and well positioned with fantastic views. The pool area is lovely. Excellent snack bar, pricey drinks. Breakfast was excellent with lots of choice. The hotel itself needs a facelift. It's very dated and the interiors need modernising and sprucing up with new furnishings etc. It would be a good idea to offer tea/coffee making facilities in the room. We had a very pleasant stay.

Elba was ok
Nice location. Nice pool. Hotel was fine. Staff were fine. The island itself is beautiful. However, if you're a North American, you are looked at with suspicion. We did not find the people very friendly. That could have been a function of the time of year (very busy in August) and the bulk of the persons on the island being surly Eurotrash tourists from Germany and mainland Italy. Overall, allocate your time to other places in Italy and not Elba.

Good resort hotel
We stayed 3 nights at Grand Hotel Elba International. A resort hotel, with private beach (not really a beach in North American sense, but with sun chairs and towels included) and 2 swimming pools. Service great. Hotel is well kept, but shows its age. Normally open May to Sep/Oct timeframe. Great breakfast. We ate great dinners there as well (added to room bill). A few km from Porto Azzurro and Capoliveri. Rio Marina and Cavo are closest ferries to Piombino.

Lovely hotel, beautiful location
We had a very lovely stay here. The beach is gorgeous, though the elevator was out, and it was a long climb back to the hotel. A car service was provided, however, for those who needed it. The food was excellent.The staff was fine, but not used to guests from the US and there were occasional communication difficulties.

The staff went out of their way to be friendly. The view from the top of the cliffs was gorgeous and the two salt-water pools were relaxing. The breakfast buffet was also very good with many options. It is a bit outside of town, which I preferred, but when visiting having a car is probably best.

Waren schon das dritte mal in diesem Hotel, leider hat das Frühstück aufdrehen Terrasse nicht ganz so schön wie wir uns dass vorgestellt haben. Das Frühstück war früher ein Traum, heuer war es normaler Italienischer Standart. Außerdem war das Essen immer aus und wurde nur auf Anforderung nachgefüllt. Tische wurden auch nicht nachgedeckt. Die Lage ist Top und der langsame Lift zum fast menschenleeren privaten Strand sind noch immer das Beste. Schade um das Hotel

Het privé strand was geweldig. Jammer dat de bar daar maar tot 18uur open was. Daardoor is er na 18u geen eet en drink gelegenheid, terwijl hier wel de faciliteiten voor aanwezig zijn. Uitzicht vanaf onze kamer was adembenemend, we keken uit op zee en de haven. Zeer groot 2 persoonsbed, maar wel vrij hard. Geen optie tot thee/ koffie op de kamer.
