Really nice and helpful staff! They upgraded our room and gave us a delicious bottle of wine. We stayed here when going to cinque terre for the day and they were very helpful with our itinerary.

Great location near to train station and the city centre. Both walkable in a few minutes. Friendly staff. Good breakfast.
Gary, 7-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The hotel was so close to train access that it made getting to Cinque de Terre so easy. The hotel was darling and had a cool vibe that was so welcoming. Breakfast was outstanding and well appreciated!
Janiece, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

I booked this place last minute after a stressful experience elsewhere, and it exceeded all expectations. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, the room was spotless, and everything felt well cared for. Such a relief to find a place like this — I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a clean, comfortable, and professional stay.

10/10 Excellent

Excellent front desk staff. Thank you
Jonny, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

The hotel was nicely decorated and the rooms were equipped with all the necessary amenities. A couple of things to have earned a five star for me would be as easy as providing slippers and a robe in the rooms or limited dining options (e.g., cheese and fruit plates, sandwhiches) for those not wanting to leave the hotel after returning from a long day out. Otherwise, it was great!
Veronica, 2-night trip

Very chic, modern and comfortable. It was close to the train station so very convenient.

My wife and I stayed the night here, the front desk was very helpful and even gave us the perfect supper spot to go. Room was big, bed was big, shower was big we even had a patio. Would stay here again and recommend it to others.

10/10 Excellent

Very nice trendy hotel with spacious rooms, excellent breakfast buffet and extremely friendly staff.
Jerome, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

The location was excellent for our trip to Cinque Terre, an easy walk to the train station. The staff were lovely and helpful. Parking was tight even for our small rental car but it was doable and super convenient to the hotel. You have to reserve in advance as there are only a few spaces. We also loved the prosecco we got as VIP Expedia members. It was a fun stay.
Kathy, 2-night trip

Friendly staff, clean, good breakfast and good location.
