Hotel Katy

This was the third time we have stayed at Hotel Katy and we were made to feel very welcome returners. The rooms are simple and comfortable. Having a balcony is a definite bonus. Rooms are well cleaned daily. Only thing missing is a kettle in the room for a night time drink! All the staff are friendly, special mention to the lady who makes the coffee at breakfast and the two reception staff. Hope to return for many years to come.

Decent place , good location, helpful staff, reasonable price. No facility to make a hot drink in room but mini bar was handy. Reasonable pricing but beware the 'dreaded' City Tax you have to pay before you leave! Viareggio is a spacious, friendly , generally quiet place for a civilised 2 weeks on the beach. plenty of good restaurants (though I'd avoid the Casablanca!) ~

We booked Hotel Katy based on the reviews we read here and agree with everything that’s already been said. We did wish we had booked a room with a balcony and asked if we could move but they were all already booked. Our room was a reasonable size and spotlessly clean with excellent air con but really no view at all unless you leant out of the window! We loved the aircon in the communal areas, getting out of the lift was a particular joy! The breakfast was fine but we didn’t understand the rave reviews, pretty standard hotel breakfast but all you need and of course bottomless! Morning staff (the lady with the child) deserve a special mention - you felt absolutely nothing was too much trouble for her and the night porter was really nice. The hotel is in a great location just off the main drag and we would definitely stay here again. We were recommended Bagno Maurizio and Stefano is lovely and an absolute pro but we preferred Bagno il Sole which cost about the same and we were able to have beds closer to the sea (also nice to have a restaurant on site). Swimming hats have to be worn in all the pools! The cycling is cool and breezy - we rented 2 bikes for 4 days from a lady in the forest which only cost 40euros in total!!! It gave us freedom to explore and there are cycle paths everywhere.

Loved our room, 402 with big balcony. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was well stocked and fresh. Perfect location too. Alessandra on reception was particularly welcoming and organised transfers and helped us plan days out. Can’t fault any of the staff at all.

Lovely family run hotel. Nice clean, comfortable rooms & good variety of breakfast choices - including fresh croissants daily. Everyone very helpful and friendly. Would definitely stay there again. 😊👍

This a family run hotel just across from the promenade and beach in Viareggio. There is a personal touch to everything particularly in the mornings when family members are front and center. We stayed in a balcony room which was lovely, roomy with spacious ensuite bathroom, tv and room safe. Breakfast was included in our rate and it was really fabulous with hot and cold options, we were even offered a quick coffee the one morning we had to set off earlier than breakfast to catch a train to Cinque Terre. We travelled by bus and train to the neighbouring towns and cities and the location of the hotel was perfect for all the transport links.

What a lovely hotel - such a convenient location, 20 minutes walk from the train station and nearly on the seafront. Wonderfully clean with a hot shower and comfortable bed. The staff cannot do enough to help you and are kind and considerate. Breakfast was delicious, fresh and quality produce, scrambled eggs, bacon, ham and cheeses, fresh fruit and yoghurt and home made tarts and pastries - it was amazing! I lived Hotel Katy so much I’ve booked to come back in a months time. A wonderful experience 🥰

The staff are very helpful & very pleasant.. The room was lovely with a balcony. & very clean.The breakfast was superb with lots of choice The hotel is very near the beach. We will be back again soon.

We stayed as a family of 3 for 2 nights. Hotel Katy is in a fantastic location, 3 min walk from promenade/ beach and a 15min walk from the train station. Staff were helpfull and very friendly. They spoke excellent English which helped with our embarrassingly poor Italian. Hotel and the room were immaculately clean. Room size generous for Italy, as was bathroom. Breakfast was good (having a good Italian coffee freshly made was lovely) Room has a small fridge, air con and we had a good sized balcony looking out to the sea and mountains. Would highly recommend to others.
