Was absolutely wonderful. Was met by Christina, who was expecting us and knew our names. The room was stunning. Christina was more than helpful and guided us in order to make the best of the 2 days we were there.

our favorite hotel on a 30 plus day European holiday. every thing was perfect except for those rock hard beds

This family-managed small residence is a dream for travelers. Crisp clean rooms with kitchen facilities and balconies overlooking the village of Deiva Marina, a quick ten minute, very frequent local train ride to Monterosso, the largest of the Cinque Terre villages. Deiva Marina is quiet and "real" without the tourist rush of the villages. Residence Kriss is the friendliest, homiest hotel imaginable with a lovely young couple-managers, who see to your every need. Coffee and gelato and wine bar is open all day until late at night for instant cappuccino with a smile on a lovely terrace cafe. You can order a sumptuous breakfast ( 10 euros) or pop in with the locals for croissant and coffee. Beautiful beach, many cafes, a couple of upscale restaurants with great fish and seafood. This is a genuine "discovery" hotel, perfect for families or adult travelers.

Excellent value for price. 5 minutes away from train station and 5 minutes away from beach. Not a lot to do in the small quiet town but well located outside very tourist places. they are investing a lot of money on the boardwalk. Very good for a few nights stay to visit Cinqueterre. Owner very nice and provide info for visit, restaurant etc.
