Great location - town centre, close to the train station and to the beach
I am very sorry to say that but for this money I was expecting better. It is quite expensive hotel, and unfortunately it did not meet our expectations.
1. First of all we slept very bad. We booked a room with double bed but instead we got a room with 2 single beds pushed together, pretending to be a double bed. It was extremely uncomfortable. As a couple, we sleep in the middle of the bed, so I was literally falling down between the 2 beds. 3 sleepless nights. We mentioned that in reception but the only help was asking the room service to... tie the beds together... Shocking.
2. Room service took our snacks and drinks that we bought in the bar the night before. Nothing too fancy, just overpriced nuts and crisps, but considering how much we had to pay for them, we wanted to actually eat them... the same with drinks. My full glass of drik was taken from my room without my permission.
3. Room service never left a spare toilet roll.
4. No kettle
5. Breakfast too basic
6. Strange sockets - non of our european plugs fitted in. Fortunately we discovered that the fridge was actually plugged in using a converter. So to be able to charge our phones we had to unplug the fridge to use the converter. Unfortunately it left us without working fridge...
7. Water in the shower at 6am was cold.

Entrance and lobby are beautiful. Good location.
Noisy. Old building poorly refurbished. Sound travelled throughout the rooms. Poorly cleaned. Hair in shower.

Excellent breakfast, staff were often outstanding, polite as well as being appropriately sociable. Pool and gardens excellent. We will be back to stay again.
We would have liked 2 easy chairs in our room given we stayed for 12 nights, rather than having to sit on the bed all the time.

Mosquitos in the room, air conditioning working not fine
4.2
beautiful and great area by the pool. close to the beach.
our AC didn’t work in one of the rooms and it was deadly hot, the staff working that afternoon and night did not believe us when we reported that the ac was not working and did not help us with our problem. this caused us to have a bad night and a bad experience with the hotel.

the decor and the cleanliness and amazing breakfast and staff
the bed could have been more comfortable
4.2
Situated quite central. Bar nearly good. Park good. Old building good
Room in less tasteful secondary building. Room size too small. Breakfast on 1-2 star pension level. Nearly all staff uninterested. Parking service damaged my car and played the innocent. Reception useless. Parking space limited. On departure I was told that luggage service works only from 09:00. Price (€270) 2-3 times of what it should be. Hotel in bad need of new management

We enjoyed the beautiful surroundings, the garden and the pool. Our room on the sixth floor had a view of both bays. Fantastic breakfast. Francesco at the bar is clearly the nicest bartender ever.
Really there's nothing to dislike. The mosquitoes maybe? But there is an appliance in the room to repel them. It would have been nice to have real glasses instead of plastic ones at the pool bar, but we get that sometimes it is a necessary evil.

helpful friendly staff beautiful relaxing garden excellent breakfast

As usual, this Hotel always meets the expectations. Staff is 5 stars and always ready to help and bedrooms are big, clean and very comfy.
It's really close to the beach and they even have their own sunbeds area in the beach (for an extra cost, but almost the whole beach is paid and can be difficult to get a sunbed, so this is really good). Also close to all the restaurants and bars but still enough far away to avoid the noise when you come back to the Hotel.
It's always my go-to Hotel when visiting Sestri!

Reality beats pictures - we found the place much nicer in reality than the impression we got online. Great property in a nice location, wonderful garden and pool area. Very nice outdoor breakfast restaurant. Very friendly and helpful staff all around!

Breakfast is excellent and the position is superb
4.2
Choice for breakfast could be better, but it was tasty and good quality. Hotel has very pleasant staff. The room I got didnt have that nice view., but the Hotel location is very good, near beach and surrounded by lot of nice restaurants.
The private beach could be discounted or free for hotel guests. it costs 30.00 Eur a day.
4.2
Beautiful old villa in a great part of town. The rooms were wonderfully quiet but you are right in the heart of things when you walked outside the grounds. The pool area was fantastic, we preferred it over the beach which was a bit crowded with sun loungers, and it's a rare treat in Sestri Levante. The bar terrace was a great place for an aperitif to start the evening with a refreshing cocktail made by the lovely bartender, he really made our stay memorable.
