Adequate but not brilliant.
Liked: Early check in was no problem. Desk staff very friendly. The location right on the seafront was great.
Disliked: The big hotel was dated and very eccentrically decorated in poor taste. Breakfast was mediocre. It clearly caters to large tours.

Passable
Liked: The garden of the hotel with the swimming pool is spacious and beautiful; and the location of the hotel is perfect.
Disliked: The service, the rooms and breakfast buffet are a bit outdated: You have to ask for everything extra (skimmed milk, oat milk, gluten free alternatives.No kettle in the room for making tea or coffee. The air condition in the room made a terrible noise, so we could not use it. Mostly old sockets in the room, and difficult to borrow adaptors. The shower cabin had walls where water easily went out and on the floor.

Lovely beds and high quality...
Liked: History, location and comfort. Lovely bedding and comfortable mattress. The building is full of history and fabulous authentic reception area.
Disliked: The waiters in the restaurant were not very welcoming . Restaurant didn’t match the rest of the hotel. It was sterile looking with stark white lighting.

Overall a great Hôtel &...
Liked: Classic Italian. Great pool & location, staff were great.
Disliked: Didn’t advise us pool towels were available & electric sockets were 3pin not the normal 2pin so a shortage of plugs.We were staying as a large party for a wedding & no irons at all were available to borrow or hire.

Lovely hotel in the heart...
Liked: Beautiful hotel in the heart of Sestri Levante with great beach and old town just few steps away. Good breakfast and great bar. We stayed on the 6th floor, so we had great view from our window as bonus.
Disliked: The walls are pretty thin, so you could hear some noise from the neighbours and when people are talking in the corridor.

Poor value for a lot...
Liked: Very good location and beautiful entrance and barxarea.
Disliked: Hotel is tired and too old school. Wifi was weak and inconsistent. Room next door had an alarm that went off and woke us up. Charges 5 euros per person for beach towels and charged 15 euros for parking in open air so not covered and my car had a cover of pigeon poo and pine needles. Poor value and quite petty.
