Overall wonderful location
Room was clean and well maintained. Cleaning staff were exceptional & room was nice (walls thin so was noisy when neighbours were about). Location was about 800m from a selection of restaurants. Breakfast had a good selection. Pool was small & the blue paint was coming off the pool. Plenty of pool beds & towels which was a delight. Shower for pool was inadequate & water was flowing into the toilet floor. Lots of beds for beach with a charge of €50 for 2 beds.

The hotel was average. On a bright note, it was in a great area where you are super close to Portofino and other fun locations. (BUT you have to walk about 25 minutes to get to the train station) Our view was nice as well. But, a few hard things to deal with were the noise from the hotel itself, the doors are not sound proof at all and you can hear everything. Also, we had no WiFi ever!! It kept connecting and disconnecting… we talked to the staff and they were not helpful at all, gaslighting us. (Also the view from the pictures on Expedia are not real )

There was an amazing breakfast for 5 euros. Staff was incredible. Only bad comment is the private beach charged for seating, and you could not walk the shore. You could only jump in to swim and leave the beach area. On the plus there was a public beach just down the road a little bit.

Great location with nice seaview from balcony. Great breakfast, lots of choices. Attentive staff to address your needs. Room stocked basic supplies, including a fridge with optional purchase items. would have preferred more better A/C options; there was seabreeze but inconsistent. Near portofino; a bus ride or long walk for those who enjoy walking. Near center of town,; a moderate walk away. Near train station. a low taxi fare away. Beautiful Beach side that includes lawn chair and towels. Beach cafe could use some updating. A great stay away from the portofino's tourist haven.

This was the loudest hotel I’ve ever stayed if. There were people loudly talking all night, the vacuum outside our room, and there was a loud banging that woke me up. You could literally hear everything going on on your floor. The front desk staff was nice and the only positive experience we had. The breakfast buffet looked so gross I was flabbergasted people were eating it. Decent location but needs some improvements.
