A top 10 best balcony view stay
Pros:

The location is brilliant - 10 minute stroll into Portofino Centre and far enough away to feel like a quiet oasis. Views from our balcony were stunning, super comfortable bed and staff were lovely. Definitely book rooms with a balcony and sea view.

Cons:

It has been noted in previous reviews that there is an opportunity to redecorate /renovate. That said, the decor didn’t detract from the overall location and amenity of this charming little hotel.

Pros:

Потрясающие виды и местоположение

Cons:

Отель требует более тщательной уборки и ремонта. В нашем номере были отколотые сидушки унитаза и грязь и пыль по углам. Персонал на завтраке был не очень приветливым и уставшим

Location walk to portofino and beach across road
Pros:

The only two things good about this property is the location and the staff. The beach across the street and private lounge area with bar and views incredible and the staff was wonderful. The hotel needs to be gutted and start over good grief. Such a shame! The entire time I was there I was remodeling in my mind and I don't understand why the owners have not done this. The property could be worth double per night if it was remodeled and if you're interested contact me, I'm a designer!!

Cons:

The interiors yikes so bad

Bella posizione, ma solo quella
Pros:

Parcheggio disponibile (a pagamento), beach bar (poco presidiato però), posizione

Cons:

Personale demotivato e quindi poco proattivo con la clientela, parti comuni e camere da ristrutturare profondamente

4stelle soltantosullacarta,prezzida5stelle.Un’esperienzaimbarazzante.
Cons:

4 stelle soltanto sulla carta, con prezzi da 5 stelle. L’unica cosa davvero all’altezza di questo hotel è la posizione. Per il resto faccio sinceramente fatica a capire come possa essere classificato come un 4 stelle e, soprattutto, come possa applicare prezzi da struttura di lusso. L’albergo è vecchio, trascurato e maltenuto. La colazione è probabilmente la peggiore che abbia mai visto in un hotel di questa categoria: prodotti scadenti, affettati di qualità bassissima messi in contenitori rotti e sporchi. Un livello che sarebbe discutibile in una pensione economica, figuriamoci in un hotel che si presenta e si fa pagare come un 4 stelle. Abbiamo soggiornato tre giorni e persino ordinare un cappuccino è diventato un’impresa: chiedevo un cappuccino d’orzo e puntualmente arrivava al ginseng. Solo l’ultimo giorno sono riusciti finalmente a portarmi ciò che avevo ordinato. Altro episodio assurdo: con il soggiorno sono compresi i lettini e ci viene detto di scendere, perché avremmo trovato il bar e il ragazzo addetto alla consegna degli asciugamani. Scendiamo e scopriamo che il bar semplicemente non esiste. Per avere dell’acqua abbiamo dovuto chiamare l’hotel e chiedere che qualcuno ce la portasse. Quanto agli asciugamani, il ragazzo addetto era troppo impegnato a fumare: l’odore di cannabis era chiaramente percepibile. Una situazione francamente imbarazzante per una struttura che pretende di essere di questo livello. L’hotel, tra l’altro, non dispone nemmeno di un vero bar: se volete qualcosa da bere dovete andare al vicino bar oppure sperare che in quel momento ci sia qualcuno disponibile a servirvi. Stiamo sempre parlando di un presunto 4 stelle con prezzi da 5 stelle. Dulcis in fundo, il checkout. Alle 7:15 del mattino saldiamo il conto e chiediamo di avere la nostra macchina, specificando che dobbiamo partire il prima possibile. Ci viene risposto che non è possibile averla prima delle 8 perché il ragazzo che consegna le auto arriva alle 8.
