Very disappointing - would not recommend

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

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

Sestri Levante is a small pretty town with lots of shops and restaurants and this hotel is ideally situated on the seafront just a short walk from the train station if you plan to do the Terras. The hotel is exactly as Described. We had a nice room with a beautiful sea view. Just lovely

Fantastic hotel!

Our stay was at the Celeste was wonderful; fantastic location on the beach front, a 5 minute walk to the train station (to visit the Cinque Terre, Portofino etc) lovely staff; nothing was too much trouble and as we checked and told the manager we were celebrating our 25th wedding we were upgraded to room 25 with a sea view! The hotel is spotlessly clean and lovely continental breakfasts. Will definitely stay again and recommending to friends!

Wunderschöne Kurzferien

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.
