While visiting Pietra Ligure I spent three nights in this hotel. I had a good time there, the staff is friendly and the hotel offers good prices. The hotel is located on Via Aurelia and crossing the road you find yourself on the beach.

We had a great week in Pietra Ligure and communications with the hotel about parking, adjoining rooms and arrival time were excellent. The hotel is 2* plus and you get what you pay for - personally i think some of the reviews i have seen forget that and review as if it were 5*, hence some lower scores. The staff/owners were helpful. The rooms were clean with comfortable beds and a compact but perfecty acceptable shower/toilet room. Some parts of the hotel are a bit tired but nothing that affected our enjoyment. The balcony of our room had a mountain view and a side view of the sea. We sat on the balcony early in the morning and early evening catching the sun. The room had air conditioning, given the temperature overnight it was a real +ve and worked really well. There is a railway behind the hotel and some people have said in reviews this disturbed them. It is true that the trains run through the night but we can honestly say this didn't disturb us. There are no safes in the rooms but you can use a safety deposit facility in reception as i did for passport and some valuables this can be accessed 8am till 8pm. Breakfast was included in our rate and there was a really good selection of yoghurts, pastries, croissants and the local speciality foccaccia. There are also hot options of bacon and scrambled eggs and the continental options of prosciutto and cheese. There are fruit juices and great coffee from a real bean machine serving a variety of coffees hot water for tea.

It was as expected for a 2 star hotel. No AC, a bit too close to a railway, but the balcony was nice (partial view to the sea) and everything very clean. English skills were very limited which created a couple of mishaps, nothing big though. Biggest problem was that it was a bit expensive: ~100€/night including breakfast though it seems it's cheaper if you book in their website

SEMPLICE HOTEL RAPPORTO QUALITA' PREZZO DISCRETO

Attentive and helpful staff. Walking distance to good food and shopping.

We only planned to stay one night but enjoyed the hotel and the area so much we stayed another 24 hours. The staff could not do enough for us. It is basic but spotlessly clean. It is facing the beach and has parking, a rare commodity in itself. They even gave us a farewell gift, a bottle of Virgin olive oil made on the families farm. We will be spending a couple of weeks with the family next year.
