“Good breakfast, nice staff”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed September 25, 2012 via mobile

Myself and somefriends stayed here after completing the cinque terre walk. Staff were lovely but the hotel was very basic, fine for a night though. The breakfast was surprisingly good as i wasnt expecting much, they have a cute little outdoor area and serve nice coffees. La Spezia itself we did not enjoy, everything closes quite early and there is literally nothing to do. Also a lot of youths just sort of hanging around town give it a bit of a dark feel. Knowing what i know now, i would either recommend doing the walk starting in la spezia end or making the effort to take the 20min bus ride to porto venere which is absolutely stunning with lovely beachside hotels restaurants and shops and a castle to explore. Personally i thought vernazza the best of the five towns as the overnight pick - most lively and a really cute terrase rrstaurant by the water.

“Lovely staff, quiet loction”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed September 25, 2012

We stayed here to explore the cinque terra, and it was a perfect location. The ferries are a 10 min walk and so is the train. It was easy to find and the room was a decent size.
There is no elevator, but without even asking the gentleman collected out bags and took them up stairs for us.

The bathroom was very small, for a larger sized person I think this would be a problem.

Breakfast had a good selection of sweet and savory food and freshly made coffee upon request.

“Charming Hotel, wonderful staff, great homemade breakfasts.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed September 24, 2012 via mobile

We had a very enjoyable stay at this hotel which is located just off the city center pedestrian only area. The staff was very helpful and eager to assist wherever possible. Homemade breakfast treats with fresh brewed coffee and other more standard accompianments. All in all, a very nice place to stay that is reasonably priced. We enjoyed our stay plus we had a balcony.

“Great Breakfast and Convenient Location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed September 20, 2012

My husband and I have been car-camping in Italy and wanted to do an extended Cinque Terre walk. We had help finding where to safely park our car (the train station) which is a close distance to the hotel. The staff was friendly and informative, the caffe macchiatos delicious and this stay definitely added to our whole experience. Due to the convenient location there was street noise at night (it is located fairly close to the fun-zone) - but that's why ear-plugs were invented!

Room Tip: There is no A/C, the first night we stayed in a corner room, great cross ventilation, but more stree...

“Great Stay for Cinque Terre”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed August 7, 2012

Sara and her exceptional customer relations make this two star a five star! She was helpful, friendly and her homemade breakfasts are amazing. My husband and I have travelled all over Europe and never had a breakfast like this. The bathrooms may be small but the bedroom was a great size and the location is ideal to explore the Cinque Terre. Thanks so much Sara and I am missing your breakfast creme de brule.
