Hostel overbooked, forcing us to move to a room a few blocks away the next morning (not a huge deal). We waited and waited to be able to switch rooms and fix their mistake, and we finally arrive in a somewhat decent room (looks like someone's spare bedroom with 6 cots). Found out there are no locks to the room's... More

Apparently there are different apartments rented out by this agent, so other experiences may vary greatly. I was worried reading bad reviews, but it's high season and we didn't start looking for hotels until most were filled. We booked a private room for 4. The person who showed the room was pleasant, but kept one of our passports as security... More

My wife and I (age late 20's early 30's) enjoyed our stay here. Arrived by train to the Riomaggiore station, and walked 10 min to the office (easy to find). Met with Luciano and he walked us up hill to our guest house (~10 min). Not bad of a walk uphill with backpacks. Nice clean room with great view, clean... More

We backpacked for 5 weeks, and never had an issue with any hostel we stayed at. When we got here, the owners took hold of my passport, and insisted we had booked for four people when there were only two of us. They then told us they would switch our room, and we could stay in a 12 person dorm,... More

When we arrived at the office in the city center the lady got our keys and started showing us the way. All she said in English was "up up" It took us almost 30 minutes to climb up with suitcase and the stairs never ended. Even after you reached the very top and there was a main road on top... More

I'll keep this short and sweet: we booked two beds in a six bed mixed dorm with a shared bath. We understood that it was a busy weekend in September, but we were shuttled off to some other property, where within two adjoining rooms, there were about 20 people. There was one bathroom for the 20 of us, and there... More

Here is our experience with this place... The directions on how to get there were pretty poor but there's one main street in Riomaggiore so we found the main office rather fast. The owner who spoke very minimal English told us to follow her....up and up and up the hill (Riomaggiore is one huge hill). After about 10 minutes of... More

We reserved online! When we got to the adress, a man waited for us, had our reservations, and walked all the way up( almost 400 steps!) with us, even helped me with my luggage! Yeah it's a tiring walk up, but the view of the vignard and sea is very nice. The room is okay, one bed and cupboards, although... More
