Grand Hotel De Londres

Firstly it didn’t start well, we had paid extra to have a double bed and Seaview. On arrival we were given our key and went up to our room, it had twin beds, I went down to reception and politely discussed our issue with the room and the twin beds. The receptionist was very rude and told me there was NO double beds in the hotel, I showed him our paperwork and photos of rooms on their website, clearly showing double beds. He was adamant that they had no such rooms, they were fully booked and the option was to give me our money back and find another hotel. We had a heated discussion on his rudeness, I was very calm and explained we had travelled for two days to get here and I now asked to speak to the GM or owner of the Hotel. None available was the reply and clearly he wanted us to leave. At this point a colleague took over and asked me to follow him, we collected my wife from the original room and showed us another room on another floor in the Hotel, we didn’t expect what we were given, it was an incredible Suite, massive Double bed, lounge, 3 balconies with views over the swimming pool and the Sea. Thank you, Thank you. We then had an incredible stay with lovely staff, we did meet the owner, she was on site, the first person we meet we didn’t see again during our 6 night stay. Perhaps he was sent on a training course !

The location of the property was good, right next to the promenade and a few beaches. The centre is also a comfortable walk away. Communication was easy. Parking was akso simple and convenient. Breakfast was fine and was in a very beautiful dining hall. Staff were always smiling and helpful. The swimming pool was clean and the pool bar was also fine. The balcony attached to the room was also with a pretty view of the sea. Air conditioning worked fine.

In 1956, a beautiful young, working class woman from Sunderland in England visited the Grand Hotel Londra where she met a handsome young man who worked at the hotel. They fell in love and their holiday romance began a 61 year marriage. My sister and I visited this hotel as part of our little pilgrimage to our father who died last year. We had seaview rooms which were spacious and immaculately clean, a TV and a fridge containing bottled water. A large bathroom with toiletries, plenty of towels and slippers. Amazing views from the sunny balcony. Plenty of choice for breakfast in the grand dining room. We also spent a few hours around the pool soaking up the sun (please be aware this is extra cost). Finally, lovely staff - one in particular who provided us with some written information about the history of the hotel so we could really understand how amazing this hotel and environment must have been for our mother and why she fell in love with our father and Sanremo. For us, there was no alternative to staying in the Grand Hotel Londra and we would definitely recommend it to others.

It was our third time staying at Grand Hotel De Londres. We got a spacious room, enough place for our Frenchie to feel convenient. Staff is very friendly and understanding. Amazing view, as always.

Very nice staff. Room confortable with AC, see view, balcony. Pool clean. Parking onsite. Good breakfast.
