Pros:

Pensione Sorriso was a great place to stay during our trip to Cinque Terre! First, it was easy to get to from the train station, a short walk and without a terrible amount of steps (although you do have to climb steps to enter the hotel and then again to your room - no elevator! ) The room was very small, which I believe is typical in these small towns, just a bed and a night table and small wall closet. We didn't mind as we were not spending a lot of time in the room. The bathroom was small as well, but adequate. We did have a few minor problems with the room, but nothing that would stop us from staying here again. The breakfast was very good, although we did not realize until the last day that we could order eggs for breakfast and that the water in the cooler was free! We also had dinner there which was very nice - and so convenient! And the woman that was working everyday was so nice, so helpful and so friendly - which really helped make it such a pleasant stay! I would highly recommend considering a stay at Pensione Sorriso!

Great location, value and service!
Pros:

The staff (esp Emeline(?) Were so kind and helpful. The location was GREAT - so near the train station but not as loud as we feared it would be. And very convenient to the center of the village!

Perfekter Kurzurlaub in 5 Terre
Pros:

Sehr nahe am Bahnhof, so mussten wir die Koffer nicht weit tragen.
Auf dem kleine Balkon mit Ausblick auf Vernazza konnte man die Abendsonne lange geniessen.
Im Essbereich gibt es einen Kühlschrank, aus welchem man sich bedienen kann. Die Konsumation wird auf Vertrauensbasis auf einer Liste notiert und beim Check-Out beglichen.

Cons:

Die Nähe zum Bahnhof bringt mit sich, dass man jeden Zug vorbeifahren hört, auch die Güterzüge in der Nacht. Wir haben trotzdem gut geschlafen.

The staff here are so kind, the food is amazing, and the rooms are sparkling clean!
Pros:

The staff were so incredibly kind. The breakfast was amazing and the wine excellent. I was a solo traveler that booked a basic room and the hostess gave me a beautiful room with personal access to the terrace. I couldn’t figure out where exactly I was going after checkout and she let me stay outside on the terrace while I booked train tickets and whatnot. A wonderful experience; I will be coming back with my husband.

Cons:

There was nothing I didn’t like. I legitimately have zero complaints.
