The hotel exceeded my expectations. The staff was professional, friendly, and hospitable. While a bit dated it is refreshingly elegant. Sometimes it seemed like a
‘ Downton Abbey experience. Breakfast was quite lovely. I would love to return to this hotel!
Phenomenal hotel in the heart of Sestri and across the street from the beach.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Great location, the room was nice with two big windows, acoustic windows, really nice breakfast with many options, the hotel needs an upgrade on amenities, looks too old and lacks maintenance.
