The location was excellent for our trip to Cinque Terre, an easy walk to the train station. The staff were lovely and helpful. Parking was tight even for our small rental car but it was doable and super convenient to the hotel. You have to reserve in advance as there are only a few spaces. We also loved the prosecco we got as VIP Expedia members. It was a fun stay.

Nice hotel in a great area. No elevator to level I was on, but the ladies offered to carry my bags. No thanks. In room refrigerator makes some noise. Construction in the alley where my window was facing. No view at all. Breakfast was reasonable; I saw they were making speciality coffee for some but this was not offered to me.

The property was undergoing renovations (of which we were not made aware of) with scaffolding right in front of our windows with people going up and down which meant having to leave the blinds closed, creating constant noise and rendering our balcony useless. The rooms AC was limited (capped) and not effective. Was denied a new room based on “availability”. Ended up checking out and finding another place to stay. Would not recommend!

Good location for Station, shops and restaurants. Weather was great but hotel hadn’t switched from heating to A/C so we were too hot indoors - end of April 25. No tea or coffee in room was disappointing. Rest was good.

This hotel is close to train station (7 minutes walk) and shopping street (lot of restaurants to choose). Staff are mostly young, energetic and friendly females. Our bed is comfortable and shower cube is very spacious. Breakfast is great for everyone. We stayed there for two nights and enjoyed our stay very much.
