Guest Reviews
Location
Breakfast
However, there is notable criticism about the lack of variety and consistency. Several reviews pointed out that the breakfast is monotonous and repetitive with some expressing disappointment that it does not meet the expectations for a 4-star hotel rating. During periods impacted by COVID-19, the breakfast experience was significantly downgraded, reduced to simple packaged meals or bagged breakfasts, which detracted from the overall satisfaction.
In summary, while the breakfast at Grand Hotel Barone Di Sassj satisfies many guests with its variety and quality, there are areas for improvement, particularly in terms of diversity in options and maintaining high standards consistently.
Dinner
Unfortunately, the hotel's dining options are limited. There is no room service and breakfast is the only meal consistently available, which has received critique for being minimal, particularly for missing items like eggs, bacon and toast.
For those seeking more variety, there are restaurants and a supermarket near the hotel, as well as a shopping center just six minutes away by car. Guests can explore these nearby options for better dining experiences, guided by tips from the hotel staff and the internet.
Despite the limited on-site dining options, the convenience of nearby eateries and the standout performance of La Pentola d'Oro provides some solace for guests looking to enjoy their meals.
Rooms
However, many guests noted that the hotel’s decor and fixtures are outdated with some mentioning the need for modernization, especially regarding the carpets and furniture. Issues like old carpets, worn-out shower fixtures and dated furnishings appear frequently in the reviews.
Several guests experienced problems with the air conditioning and heating system, reporting rooms being too hot or air conditioning not working properly. Maintenance issues, including broken showers and lighting problems, were also highlighted by multiple reviewers.
Despite the need for updates, the large size of the rooms and comfortable bedding provided a generally positive experience for many visitors. The hotel's spacious common areas and helpful staff further added to the comfort of their stay.
Overall, while the hotel offers generous space and cleanliness, modernization and better maintenance could improve guest satisfaction significantly.
Beds
Cleanliness is another positive aspect frequently mentioned with bedding being changed daily and the mattresses described as clean and functional. The bedding itself is often noted as being cozy, warm and of good quality, contributing to an overall pleasant sleeping experience.
Despite the predominantly positive feedback, there are some critiques about the beds. A few guests found the beds to be uncomfortably hard and the pillows were often described as too firm or likened to "rocks." There were also occasional comments about the linens with a few guests noting insufficient washing or the absence of duvets. Nonetheless, these critiques seem to be in the minority compared to the overwhelming positive remarks about the beds' comfort and largeness.
In summary, the beds at Grand Hotel Barone Di Sassj are generally praised for their size, comfort and cleanliness, contributing significantly to a comfortable stay despite some isolated reports of firmness and pillow issues.
Cleanliness
Despite these shortcomings, the bedding and rooms generally meet guests' expectations for cleanliness, creating a comfortable stay. Nevertheless, the recurring issues with carpets and certain dated elements of the hotel suggest room for improvement. Some guests did note that the hotel's overall condition appears neglected and that cleanliness leaves much to be desired in specific aspects with occasional problems like foreign hair in the toilet and moldy odors in the bathroom.
In summary, while the Grand Hotel Barone Di Sassj offers clean rooms and a comfortable environment, attention to detail particularly regarding carpets and older fixtures could enhance the guest experience further.

Guests appreciate the multilingual capabilities of the staff, including their proficiency in English and French, although there are occasional comments about the adequacy of their language skills. The hotel staff are often described as welcoming, efficient and respectful, contributing to an overall pleasant stay for many.
However, there are some mixed reviews regarding certain interactions. A few guests note experiences with unfriendly or unhelpful staff, especially at the reception desk. Issues like long check-in queues, poor organization and insufficient check-in staff have been cited.

Parking
However, some guests have noted certain drawbacks. The underground parking area has been described as dark, dingy and sometimes creepy.

Family
4 Star
Despite these critiques, the hotel maintains some high-quality aspects that align with its intended rating. However, the consensus among reviewers is that significant improvements are needed for it to fully live up to its four-star status. The hotel's non-central location also detracts from its appeal for some guests. Overall, while the Grand Hotel Barone Di Sassj has the potential to offer a luxurious stay, it currently does not meet the expectations associated with its advertised four-star rating.
Business
The hotel structure, which includes comfortable working desks, is well kept and particularly suited for business stays, even for a couple of days. While the breakfast received mixed reviews, it didn’t significantly impact the suitability of the hotel for business travelers. Despite some issues with the WiFi not working adequately for work purposes, the easy access to the metro added to the overall convenience of the location for business guests.
Accessible
However, some areas were noted to present challenges. The elevator was reportedly not level with the landing, which could hinder wheelchair mobility and the breakfast area was mentioned as being hard to reach for wheelchair users. While accessible parking is available, the overall suitability for disabled guests may need further improvements. The hotel's proximity to the lakes region remains a positive aspect for those looking to venture out, provided that mobility issues do not interfere.
