Reviews and Ratings
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms, while a bit old, offered a nice balcony with a great sea view. However, the old-fashioned key system was inconvenient for a 4-star establishment. The service varied from friendly to grumpy, with issues when trying to use the internet. The location provided stunning views but had some limitations on space. The dining was average with a mix of fresh and tinned food. The facilities were decent overall, but some aspects could be improved.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, while clean, were a bit small and had thin walls between them, but the balcony offered stunning views of the harbor. The service was mostly helpful and accommodating, but at times, some staff seemed disinterested. The hotel's location was convenient, just a short walk from the town and offering easy access to Cinque Terre. The dining experience was average, with a variety of food choices. The facilities were good overall.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms, although clean, were sub-par with shared balconies and thin walls. However, they were quite clean. The service from the staff was friendly and helpful. The location was fabulous with a beautiful view but could use some renovations. The dining experience was excellent with a wide variety of options. The facilities provided were decent overall.
Waking up to the charming harbor and hotel pool views while sipping our morning coffee was a delight, but the thin interleading door in our room allowed for unwanted noise disruptions. The rooms are modest, lacking a comfortable chair. The hotel offers a cozy atmosphere with some drawbacks.
The hotel offered exceptional views and an easy walk into town, but the rooms were somewhat 'pokey' for a 4-star place. The service was very helpful and sympathetic. The dining experience was good, featuring a large buffet with both hot and cold selections, though standard breakfast fare. The location, in Portovenere, Italy, was ideal for walking around and enjoying the exceptional views.
