Good choice
Pros:

This hotel offered a lot for a three star.
The lady at reception was really nice and helpful. We were in our room fairly quickly. We had two rooms, for grandparents and the younger ones. Very clean, big beds with white sheets. Bathroom a bit small, but good pressure of water. Room cleaned daily. No safe. Very safe car park ( payable locally). Dog friendly. The beach was in front of hotel and the dog friendly beach was within walking distance. Beaches were pretty full. July and August is not the best time, as we all know children are on holidays.
Although it is a basic hotel, we all agreed that we had a great stay. Excellent location. We never had a meal there, as we were meeting friends and family.
Sestri Levante is beautiful. It was our second time, certainly not the last one.

Bra läge och fint hotell
Pros:

Mycket bra läge nära stranden. Vi blev dubbelbokade på det aktuella rummet men hotellet ringde och beklagade sig och bad om ursäkt. Vi fick ett annat rum som var helt okej utsikt. Vi fick istället rabatt på rummet. Sånt som kan hända men personalen löste det smidig och professionellt. Mycket trevliga.

Härligt hotell
Pros:

Väldigt fint hotell och ett perfekt läge vid stranden. Kunde varit lite bättre frukost dock. Men annars väldigt bra. Stora rum och magisk utsikt från balkongerna

Fantastiskt läge i Sestri Levante
Pros:

Härligt hotell med underbar utsikt över havet. Saknade information på rummet om hotellet, omgivningarna samt olika utflyktsförslag. Vatten på flaska hade varit uppskattat på rummet samt i receptionen

Wunderschöne Kurzferien
Pros:

Freundlicher Empfang, geräumiges Zimmer (Schallisolation haben wir nicht bemerkt), schöner Balkon mit Blick auf das Meer und ruhig, da etwas am Rand des Dorfkerns.

Das Frühstück war gut und reichhaltig

Parken konnten wir in der weissen Zone. In dieser Jahreszeit hat es genügend Parkplätze.

Generell ein sehr gutes Hotel aber etwas in die Jahre gekommen.

Very disappointing - would not recommend
Pros:

Don’t trust the price on booking, the hotel is full of add ons!! On first impressions the staff were pleasant but the decor in the reception was a little worn and dated. We were suggested to go to the restaurant to have lunch whilst we waited for our room to be ready, this was the first real disappointment; we paid 16 Euros for a salad which was pretty much leaves, and a few bits of salmon, which tasted a little off. Secondly we read the hotel had a private beach so afterwards headed there only to find out that not only was it an extra charge but that it was “fully booked” despite there being about 50 beds free, the hotel rent out the beds to locals on a monthly basis and therefore there are none available to hotel guests. Final extra charge was the baby cot we asked for, my husband booked a room for 3 people and paid extra for it only for us to be charged 20 Euros for a baby cot. We’ve travelled around Italy and no other hotel has charged us for a cot, something we didn’t expect especially when we’d paid extra for our baby already. This hotel is a rip off, there were so many extras on arrival the price rocketed. Oh and if we wanted to park a car it’s another 20 euros.

In fact I’d you want to breathe that’s extra. No kettle or facilities in the room

Perfect stay, top service , best holiday ever !
Pros:

Beautiful and cosy hotel, you feel velcome the minute you arrive. Top professional service from the most charming and friendly staff you can imagine. The hotel restaurant Mapi is fantastic, so good food ! The rooms, the view, the beach and staff there, cleaning, all is so perfect and still so full of charme and authentic dedication to give their guests the best stay possible. Sestri Levante is a fantastic place, and Hotel Celeste makes it perfect. We had booked 9 nights, but we stayed for 3 extra nights, and we are definitely coming back again!

Pros:

Lovely hotel with friendly staff. Room’s spotlessly clean and nice size. We didn’t have a balcony but as we were out most of the time it didn’t matter. We did take our own kettle however when we asked if we could have a couple of teabags the restaurant charged my husband €4 euros for 2!! The private beach is nice however you still have to pay for sun beds & umbrella even though you are staying at the hotel which really should be included if you are a guest.

Good location for Sestri Levante

Conveniently Located, Friendly & Warm
Pros:

Our stay at Hotel Celeste was perfect for us. Rooms are clean and basic, gorgeous sea view, and terrific staff, especially Franco. We hiked the Cinque Terre, spent an afternoon Portofino, explored the charming town of Sestri Levante, spent time on the beaches.
