Had a nice stay here while exploring Cinque Terre. It was right off the main road so pretty easy to find it and get to it. It is up a big hill as most things are in the area. Had coffee in the mornings and it was cleaned every day. Reception is only certain hours but was super helpful. Our room was at the end of the hall so the WiFi wasn’t very good but it worked.it was a bit expensive for what it was but that is to be expected in the area.

No breakfast.
The place is very quaint, nice & clean. It's almost all the way to the top of a steep street. Challenging if your bags are heavy. Desk was friendly & gave good information. Told me curvk out was 7-10AM. But in the morning no one was on duty. So no free breakfast & no one to ask about luggage storage for the day. Other guests informed me that no one is at the desk till mid afternoon. That was disappointing.

This place is not too far from the Riomaggiore station but you'll have to travel uphill so get ready for a little leg day. We were able to check in early around noon. There were two daddy long legs on our ceilings but we didn't mind them too much. We were grateful for the AC. The trail at Riomaggiore was closed so next time we might stay at a different location at Cinque Terre.

Great hotel for the price
We choose this place last minute due to the price. Took a chance after reading the bad reviews. We got there around 4:30pm and called the son and the Father and they didnt answer but they both called back within 5 minutes. The son arrived soon after and was extremely welcoming and his assistant helped us with our luggage and pram. Rooms are very basic but were completely fine for one nights stay. Internet worked ok. The place is a few hundred metres up the steep hill from the water which would be a negative if you travelled by train. However if you have an issue with hills or walking then you should not go to Cinque terre! We drove to Cinque Terre so the place was great given the parking place is at the top of the hill!

Perfect place to stay and explore!
I absolutely loved every minute of my stay here! It’s in a perfect location and right where you need to be to explore other parts of Cinque Terre! Room has A/C and heat along with a little fridge. Very quaint part of town and if your like me and tend to stay away from the crowds this location is perfect, close but not too close! Only down side was check in hours are limited so make sure to plan your trip accordingly! Other than that I loved everything so much I even booked another night because I was so in love with this town. It’s a perfect Home away from home kind of feeling!

We wanted to be in one of the villages, and this hotel gave us that opportunity at a somewhat reasonable price point. The hotel was clean, has air conditioning and an espresso/cappuccino machine in the lobby. It was kind of bare-bones, but it was a good place to explore 5Terre. Only wish was for an in-room safe.

The room was very expensive for what it was. It felt like we were in the reception lobby and the room was dingy. we had been told we would have a room overlooking a courtyard and the room basically had no window (the window looked onto a wall) so the room was always very dark and there was no lounge area as per the discription.

No one works there
The hotel is in a good location and the rooms are basic but have everything you need. So not necessarily a bad place to stay except that the management of this place is a joke. Check in is between 3 and 5pm...and that's it. As we turned up at a later time we had to call the number provided on the door to talk to the owner who started sermoning us about how we were late and that we were inconveniencing him. and that we'll wait about 20 min for him to turn up cause he was otherwise occupied. And in the morning do not expect to see any staff either there won't be any! So even though in itself the hotel isn't bad I would not recommend staying there because of the inconvenient "working" hours of the staff

A Place Not To Stay
We were not given a room at the hotel but an apartment offsite. The apt. had mould and mildew and smelled disgusting. The sheets on the bed were damp and we had to put them on the apt. heaters to dry them. The throw and spare blanket were also wet and stinky. We hung them out and put them on heaters, but could not get rid of the smell. Thankfully, we got the bedroom pretty fresh and survived this accommodation by spending very little time there. I complained to the owner about the smell but got no satisfaction. The apt. had a washer but no detergent, when I asked for some detergent to wash the smelly throw and blanket, I was directed to the local laundromat by the owner to wash his dirty throw & blanket (the washer in the apt. wasn't even hooked up). We had a fabulous trip to Italy. This accommodation was the only negative part of our trip. I was wary of this booking because there were mixed reviews. I should have heeded the non-positive comments about this owner and his hotel. I learned a valuable lesson here: heed the commentaries of other travellers.

Simple, clean, sweet
We booked last minute and got a sweet deal on a great spot. Simple, but very clean and quiet. The front desk gentleman was accommodating. The only thing I wish we understood was that breakfast was served at a specific time. Being used to the American way, we thought when he said breakfast would be available between 8:30 and 10 that we could role out at 9:20 and eat. Alas, it was all cleaned up and only coffee was left for us hungry travelers. Note to self for future - service was meant to start at 8:30. The other guests were overheard saying it was a very good meal :) Would definitely go here again.

No need for a view
Great stay although we had no view (windows opened onto other building)and to get to the unit we had to climb 1000's of steps. Travel light when you go. The town made up for all the trouble getting there (remember pedestrian the tunnel from the station to the street where the hotel is located!!! We climbed the mountain to get there. It was all good though, an enjoyable stay and who stay's in the room when there is so much to see in the town, day and night.

good location and price is reasonable
The hotel is located at the first village Riomaggiore where is convenience to travel to the church and castle just behind the hotel. Eventhough need to walk a little bit from train station, not difficult for me. Up to the church you can see very nice sea sight and you can enjoy by sitting there for a while. The hotel boss is nice and restaurants in the village are good. I love the lemon soap from small shop there and small fried fish.

Our own apartment in Riomaggiore
We stayed in a small, convenient room off of the main drag, Via Colombo. We had a big bedroom and nice bathroom that was very clean. It was very nice not staying in a hotel, but feeling as if we had our very own apartment in Riomaggiore. Would definitely stay here again.

Acceptable room in good location
The room we stayed in was more like an apartment. It included a kitchenette, a living/eating area, a bedroom and a bathroom. Although the extra room was nice, the room was not cleaned daily. The location of the room was good; it was less than a minute walk to the center of Riomaggiore. This room would not be well-suited for anyone with difficulty getting around, as it was up at least 2 sets of very narrow stairs with no elevator. It was located down the road from the reception location (which was actually across the street from the address listed).

A real Italian Experience
First, when the guide books tell you that driving to Cinque Terre is not recommended. BELIEVE THEM! The road from Monterosso to Riomaggiore was closed so alternate routes that our GPS had no knowledge of, had to be taken. We were lucky to find a free parking spot in a parking garage in Riomaggiore. The hotel was a steep walk down the hill to where you check in. The man who checked us in said, "I hope you don't have a lot of luggage because there are a lot of steps to your apartment", and he wasn't kidding. Our room was not in the hotel, but in one of the apartments they manage. His son walked us down the hill to show us our apartment. It was up a lot of stairs, then a sidewalk down a dark narrow passage way to more steps. Then up a steep set of stairs to a landing, then another very steep set of stairs to the apartment. The last flight of stairs was more like climbing a ladder than a flight of stairs. The apartment while very old, gave us a feel of what the residents of Riomaggiore go through everyday. In spite of the steps, we really enjoyed the stay.

Deliberately try to rip you off!
On the day of our arrival, there was a problem with our train which meant that we weren't arriving until 9:30pm. We emailed the hotel and go no response. We then tried to call the hotel and they didn't speak any English. Eventually I found a friend who spoke Italian who called the hotel for me. They were told that a late check in was not possible and that they were unable to refund our money. The hotel then became confused and cancelled our whole booking instead of just one night. I tried to call back 5 mins later to re-book the other 2 nights and they said the room had already been taken and if I wanted to book another night I would need to pay for the full price! This was not only a scam but also highly stressful for myself and my parents as we were close to having no-where to stay that night!

I highly recommend this hotel. Very affordable, Clean and comfortable. We only payed $68/night considering it is an apartment style. You got washroom, bedroom living area and a kitchen! Close to the shore about 2-3min walk and your there. For the price that we got it is amazing!

Really lovely, close to station and city centre
This was a really nice place to stay. I was apprehensive about sharing a bathroom as I'm a bit of a clean freak, but the whole place was spotless and we didn't cross over with the other 'bathroom users' once. The balcony is big and catches the sun well, the beds were comfortable, and there are kitchen facilities for those who need them (we only stayed one night so didn't use them). It was a short walk from the station to get there, and the same again into the city, so overall really easy. The lady who welcomed us was really helpful too.

Definitely a one star hotel
Though it was probably clean, it looked dirty. The mirror was too high for my friend to see in. The mattress was a king size, but was clearly divided into two large indentations on either side where people sleep with a big hump in the middle. It was so lumpy you could see it just by looking at it with the blankets on. The bed frame literally came apart in two pieces. The soap and shampoo dispenser were empty. Worst of all, the steps leading up to it were incredibly steep, yet there was only a rope tied to the wall as a hand rail! On top of that, the light was out so you need a flashlight to find the keyhole (if you didn't die on the steps). The guy that checked us in was pleasant, but the one that showed us to our room didn't smile or say anything and he flicked his cigarette ash on my shoe! Positives: it felt secure, facilities functioned, it was fairly close to the train station and the marina.

STAY AWAY,!!!!
My stay was horrible. I booked for three nights but left after the first night. I was of the understanding that I had booked a hotel room. When I arrived I was told I had booked an apartment. After demanding payment up front I was led on a five minute walk which involved going down a very steep narrow rock stairway to a narrower alley to the door to the "apartments". I was shown inside and left alone. The term "apartment" is not accurate. I noticed there was no soap in the shower so returned to the office to get soap. I was told that as it was an apartment they were not obligated to provide soap. I spent the night there, woke up and took a shower only to find the hair of a prior resident in the shower. I returned to the bed I had slept in, pulled back the blankets and found dried blood on the sheets. I made the decision to leave immediately. This "hotel" is wholly unsatisfactory and wholly unsanitary. The attitude of the owners behind the desk Is terrible. I cannot understand why Hotels.com continues to represent this facility. If you stay at this hotel you have only yourself to blame.
