This is a great hotel. The location is simply superb, with great views of the bays of Sestri Levante from the rooftop bar, terrace and pool. It's just a 5 minute stroll through the old town to reach either of the beaches and the boarding point for the tourist ferry, and probably 10 minutes walk from the train station where... More

it is a real pity that such a great hotel cannot find a way to make those expensive rooms worth the rest, location, service and view. The rooms are small and a bit outdated but the worse is the bathroom. The bathroom is so small that sitting on the toilet might be a problem. Actually we would have expected some... More

We have stayed at the hotel 4 times before in reasonable rooms. On arrival we were shown a garden room - under the walkway from the kitchen to the pool, it was really noisy, so aksed if we could change to a quite room as promised when we booked ? We were shown 2 rooms, the young man explained that... More

This was the third place we stayed on our trip to Italy this year, after Bardolino and Sorrento. It is not cheap ( since we travelled with two children, I had to book two rooms), but even thought the refurbished rooms are small, it lived up to our expectations. A spectacular view over the two bays of Sestri Levante, nice... More

Positive: -very nice sea view -very friendly and helpfull staff, especially at the reception -very good breakfast Negative: -very small rooms, especially bathroom -not a good value for money = overpriced -noisy hotel

The hotel itself, the view to the Ligurian coast, the pool and the service were simply perfect. But our room (320) was very noisy: Every day we could listen till midnight how the chairs of the rooftop bar were moved around. And starting at 8 in the morning, we could listen to the breakfast preparation which took place wall-to-wall with... More

The prices were all reasonable. Food at the Restaurent was delicious and first class. One can take boat rides to Forte Dei Marmi or to CinqueTerra or to Portofino. You need at least a three to four night stay to enjoy the hotel and the surrounding are. This place is a Gem. Has an interesting history and had been handed... More

We stayed here for 4 nights, as a base for exploring Cinque Terre and Portofino. We had booked rooms with sea view and balcony. One of our rooms were placed at the corner of the hotel, overlooking the bay - really beautiful to sit there and enjoy a good glass of wine! But our other room were situated in a... More

We recently stayed for 3 nights at Hotel Vis a Vis with half board. Our room had the perfect sea view (3rd floor) with balcony. The customer service was outstanding especially from the reception desk and the matre d' Maurizio. My husband wasn't feeling well one night and he even had the kitchen make him a special meal as well... More
