Riomaggiore hotellia

Plussat: Our stay at cinque terre residences was very comfortable. It’s a bit of a hike to get up to but if you arrange for the luggage transfer on your arrival this is not a problem. The room was nice each has an individual terrace/seating area. The free minibar and complimentary welcome Prosecco was a nice touch. There is also a shared top terrace with great views across riomaggiore and a sizeable jacuzzi. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful throughout our whole stay.

Miinukset: Make sure you take insect repellent if sitting out on your terrace in the evening. Though they did provide an insect diffuser.

Plussat: Very friendly and helpful staff. Great breakfast.

Miinukset: Nothing all good

Plussat: Fantastic breakfast

Plussat: Clean, localization, hosts, breakfast

Plussat: Very good location

Plussat: Cinqueterre Residence was a great location away from the main street of Riomaggiore. This property offered more privacy from the bustling main street which allowed us to to open up the doors/windows and enjoy the view of the valley. A private terrace offered a secluded feel to the location. The room, private terrace, and the separate courtyard seating with an ocean view were all spectacular! The staff was great, too - answering all our questions and helping to arrange taxis. A great location to set out and see all 5 villages in the Cinque Terre area.

Miinukset: Leaving. We didn't want to leave.

Plussat: it is great please. it is next to the beach so the waves are good and bad it is little noisy at night.but it will be good in summer.

Plussat: Paolo is the best host ever-enthusiastic about Cinque Terre, helpful and caring. He provides all necessary information about places to go, restaurants, transportation, shops and events. The location could not be better- it is just wonderful. The apartment is very clean and comfortable. WiFi works well. I like the pet friendliness of this place.

Miinukset: I always hate leaving...

Plussat: Everything

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Location was perfect, so close to everything. Everyone there was very helpful and gave great recommendations for food and hiking. Definitely going to visit again.

Miinukset: There was a sliding door that you couldn't lock when you left and the only way to lock it when you were there would be easy for anyone to unlock from the outside. It made me uneasy and I locked the individual door to the room when I was there.

Plussat: The room had a wonderful view and provided the necessities for a good stay.

Miinukset: While the view is amazing, there is a a challenge to getting to that room. We received assistance with the baggage and climbing the numerous steps - just remember, to eat you have to continue to climb the steps. Well worth it, if you are able.

Plussat: Majapaikan maisemat olivat aivan uskomattomat! Kahdelta terassilta näki meren ja kahdessa kerroksessa olevat tilat olivat hienot. Palvelu oli erittäin ystävällistä ja asunnon keittiö hyvin varusteltu.

Miinukset: Ei parannettavaa.

Plussat: Great location, big room and the terrace was excellent for an afternoon drink.

Miinukset: Air con wasn’t very strong

Plussat: nice location on main street of riomagiorre. hotel staff was friendly and allowed us to leave our luggage there. clean room.

Plussat: The apartment was great! Very spacious and has a lovely terrace!

Miinukset: The Aircon was horrible - my room reached 28.1 degrees with the Aircon on. I would wake up in the night hot and bothered. I went to reception to mention this twice but no one was there to help.

Plussat: Proximity

Miinukset: Moving luggage up tight stairwell, charge of 10euros to get assistance

Plussat: No breakfast provided at L'Ancora, but coffee machine and snacks available at all times. Lovely roof terrace with views down over the village, facilities to be able to cook a light meal. Comfortable beds. Lovely character.

Miinukset: Small maintenance issues which need to be attended to. Quite high up in the village, and spiral staircases up to apartment - not a problem for us, but unsuitable for less mobile holidaymakers.

Plussat: Accommodation was clean and comfortable. A little issue with a leaking air conditioner so we were able to move to another room with a lovely terrace which was a nice touch.

Miinukset: This has nothing to do with the accommodation but more about the Cinque Terre in general. This is my 3rd time since 2011 and what a disappointment, SO crowded, so many tourists, so many selfies, the place has been over run by tourists in search of the perfect shot. Such a shame as it really was one of the most beautiful places to visit. Can’t really walk from Riomaggiore to Manarola anymore as the terrain has been spoilt. I’ll keep my Cinque memories as they were. No plans to ever go back.

Plussat: The location was great; the room was clean and bathroom was modern. Communication from staff was good, too. I always felt safe here.

Miinukset: The air conditioning wasn’t powerful / cold enough.

Plussat: Very clean and the rooms have everything that you need for a short stay.

Miinukset: This isn’t really a negative but just to be aware that this is not a hotel but more of a guest house with rooms in a separate building to the main office and shared small kitchen. It was perfect for what I, as a solo traveler needed for a one night stay.

Plussat: Location, view from room, comfort, air conditioning

Miinukset: Shower could do with a bit of an upgrade

Plussat: Täydellinen sijainti.

Plussat: Everything, the most comfortable beds, clean, great hosts, wonderful location

Miinukset: I only liked the property

Plussat: The staff is super friendly and courteous. The property communicated with us well ahead of time, met us at the train station and took us to the room. The room is very clean and modern, and great location too with ocean view!

Plussat: The property was near the train station. It was safe and we could buy our groceries in a modest supermarket.

Miinukset: Not applicable

Plussat: Excellent apartment, very clean, great location. Wonderful host.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: Very spacious comfortable room with a magnificent sea view. Convenient location close to the train station and the sea.

Miinukset: There were two small mattresses instead of a big one on the double bed.

Plussat: so so nice. so clean. perfect view of the water. amazing location. staff were friendly.

Miinukset: nothing!!

Plussat: Very good location, comfortable and clean. Perfect view.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Friendly staff, amazing location. The view from the sea view room is as good as advertised on the pictures, you can fall asleep to the sound of the waves.

Miinukset: Bathroom cool have been cleaner (some mold on the ceiling) but nothing unsanitary

Plussat: The location was perfect for the train station and the beach.

Plussat: Great location for a trip in Cinque Terre. Just 50 metres from the bus stop for a 5 minute ride down into Manarolo. Clean rooms, super friendly and helpful owner and a decent breakfast. Recommended.

Miinukset: Bed was possibly a little bit too firm.

Plussat: The owners are very nice and gave us all the information on how to explore Cinque Terre. The area is beautiful and an excellent starting point if you want to hike to the different towns. The bus that takes you to Manarola is an easy 2 minute walk, Manarola is where you can catch the train. Very easy system. This hotel is clean and comfortable. Breakfast was excellent and you can sit outside when the weather is nice. Would highly recommend Hotel Saraceno to friends and family and we will stay here again when we come back to the area.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: The hotel owner is wonderful. Hotel is conveniently located to Manarola. Easy access to all 5 cinque terra towns. We loved our stay here.

Plussat: Great location. Volastra is a very nice, peaceful village. It is very close to Manarola (3 km). No need to drive, because there is a shuttle bus. Parking place was provided by the hotel. The hotel is extremely clean. Antonella is a very kind and amazing host. She is the soul and motor of the hotel.

Plussat: Antonella was a perfect host.

Miinukset: nothing

Plussat: Excellent services Nice scenery Very clean

Plussat: Very good

Miinukset: Access to Manarola

Plussat: Great location, owner very helpful

Plussat: Location, Location, Location! The apartment was very spacious and clean. Our private terrace had perfect views of the city centre

Miinukset: That we had to leave Parking was very tight

Plussat: Sara was so welcoming and gave us great recommendations for the area! The room couldn’t have been in a better location, was super clean, nice and spacious. Would highly recommend!

Plussat: love this place very much

Plussat: The room is clean n good location

Miinukset: The room size is a bit small, just enough for 2 luggages and our room is on 2/f, many staircase, need to climb up daily

Plussat: the property is not in the main street ( as it said ) To arrive you have more than 20 steps.....

Plussat: This might be the best location in Riomaggiore. Directly in the middle of main street, 1 min from harbour.

Plussat: The location is really convenient. The staff is very accommodating and very helpful.

Plussat: Great location and comfortable room and bed. Really Helpful staff

Plussat: the hotel is perfect, the rooms very clean. it is well located since quite far from the station and the busy road, so it is very quiet. Luca is very friendly and very good guide. You can go there without problem. Great stay.

Plussat: perfect location

Plussat: Our room was lovely, and so was the area. The service was great & very helpful.

Miinukset: We were asked to phone when we arrived but only had Canadian phones. Then we had to lug our luggage up flights of stairs. (The town is on a cliff, so everything is up or down, so that isn’t really a fault.). I wasn’t that happy about the extra cost of E15 parking & E10 for the continental breakfast which i thought very expensive).

Plussat: Excellent location just away from the tourist crowd of Riomaggiore, though extremely central to the village. The hosts were are very helpful and made our stay excellent. Would definitely recommend.

Plussat: Perfect location. Host sorted out the parking for us so that was great.

Miinukset: A mosquito net would´ve been really useful as I would´ve preferred to sleep with the window open but there was a very good aircondition in the room so that was ok.

Plussat: Lovely view from balcony/trace, the owner was very friendly and helpful, generally very good place to stay in Cinque Terre

Miinukset: There was no heating in the room except one A/C and although our room was very, very tiny it could not heat it which with humidity was kind of unpleasant and even with extra blanket it made it difficult for me to sleep.

Plussat: Location is away from the crowds but still close enough to enjoy all there is to see and do. Value is good, and breakfast was excellent. Wonderful communication!

Miinukset: Parking, of course, is difficult.

Plussat: Great location and excellent host

Plussat: Host was very friendly and made great cappuccinos. location was up the hill in a quiet location.

Miinukset: Bed was not comfortable. Only one electrical outlet in room. Lack of handrail on stairs (we were on the top level) was scary at night. Balcony and view did not meet expectations and photos on website.

Plussat: Great cappuccino every morning, tremendously friendly staff especially Enrico who could not be more helpful.

Plussat: They were very helpful in recommending hikes and other information, we got there early and they allowed us to get into our room earlier. Very friendly staff

Plussat: Perfect location. Riomaggiore our favourite of the 5 lands

Plussat: Enrico was great. He truly treats guests as celebrity. Location is nice too.

Miinukset: Using Google maps to try to get directions to the hotel. Do not use Google maps. Request directions from Enrico/staff.

Plussat: The owner gave us great information which came in handy and made our trip more enjoyable. Friendly service, great AC, large balcony.

Plussat: Proprietor very welcoming and helpful. Would definitely recommend this hotel for anyone looking for good value accommodation. Breakfast was very good with plenty of fresh fruit. Would re visit if ever in the area again.

Plussat: Enrico the host was so friendly and very helpful. Room no1 has its own terrace in front of the room. Breakfast good.

Plussat: The breakfast was very good... cereal, yoghurt, fresh fruit, pastries, meat, cheese, breads etc Staff very friendly and helpful, English spoken. Fabulous views and super quiet, great to escape the crowds. Nice big bedroom and bathroom. Easiest access is by shuttle bus from Manarola.

Plussat: A beautiful location. Wonderful views.

Plussat: Great location and the room was clean.

Plussat: The location.

Miinukset: The bed was not comfortable.

Plussat: Very good location and nice terrace.

Miinukset: Some equipment (bath room) could be renovate. It looks old.

Plussat: great location

Miinukset: uncomfortable bed

Plussat: Close to the railway station, just in the very center of Riomaggiore

Miinukset: The room was very clean, howewer there was a perceptible unpleasent smell of humidity in the room

Plussat: View from terrace

Miinukset: There was incense burning and the fragrance that lingered was very strong. Two of our party of four were reactive to it.

Plussat: Huone omalla terassilla oli tilava ja terassilta oli ihanat näkymät. Katu oli rauhallinen vaikka oli vain parin korttelin päässä turistin kansoittamasta pääkadusta.

Plussat: Great views. Large room and bathroom. Very clean.

Miinukset: Did not see the staff after we booked in. No concierge service. More of a B&B than a hotel.

Plussat: Great quiet neighborhood and a beautiful view of the sea and mountains from the balcony.

Miinukset: We asked for a double bed, but we got two single beds stuck to each other.

Plussat: He had 6 hours flight delay (and 1hour train delay) and we were in phone contact with Apartment. We decided to fly and we were with last train in 2 a..m. (we should be 6p.m.). The phone contact was very good with perfect english and we were feel safe during the journey (it was friday 13th!). We find key in box. Apartment has perfect location and is perfect clean. Fantastic host. Small but good breakfast was in Apartment.

Plussat: First of all...the place is very nice / cozy / clean / and well equiped. Secondly..the view is breath taking.. Third and most importantly..john the host was excellent. He was very nice and cheerful. Check in was a breeze and he even allowed us to stay in a bit longer because our train got delayed. Highly recomended..

Plussat: wonderful view from terrace room, very comfortable!

Miinukset: booked a room due to the presence of an open terrace with a beautiful view - this was the main reason for choosing this hotel. When we checked in, it turned out that the room with the terrace was busy (((Another minus is good audibility between the rooms

Plussat: Henkilökunta oli hyvin mukavaa, vaikka puhui vain italiaa. Lisäksi näköala parvekkeelta oli ihana!

Miinukset: Vegaaninen vartalovoide antoi allergisen reaktion.

Plussat: Great location with a stunning view! The room was super comfortable and clean and smelled so well. Amazing place to stay!

Plussat: The views from the terrace were exceptional. The good news ends here.

Miinukset: The room itself was disgusting. The ceilings were low, the lighting was poor, there was no light, the shower was broken, the AC didn't work, and there was no terrace with a view as advertised.

Plussat: Stayed couple nights, charming little hotel in a great location to explore Riomaggiore and it's surroundings. Room was clean. Good breakfast. We arrived by car so the available private parking (for a fee) was a bonus.

Miinukset: Very steep and narrow set of stairs to get to the room with our luggage was a bit of a challenge, without the luggage it was just a good exercise. Also, just an observation, our room window faced very narrow alley so there was almost no daylight coming in at this time of year.

Plussat: breakfast was good, the location directly in the center was good

Miinukset: the rooms were different, we got the smallest room

Plussat: The morning pastries were delicious and went well with our cafe latte. The accommodations were cozy and clean. It was 10 minute walk from the train station so it made it very convenient. The town is hilly so be prepared for incline walking to this lovely place. There are stairs to all the rooms so be prepare if you are bringing extra luggage.

Plussat: The room was very clean and unique with the stone and the wood. Everything was an experience.

Miinukset: I don’t think think the climbing is for everyone. Heir restaurant did not take credit card. But delicious.

Plussat: Cute little hotel in a great location in Riomaggiore. On the main street about a 5 minute walk to the water and close to cute shops, cafés and restaurants. Less than 10 minute walk from the train station. It is a simple little hotel which is quite typical for the area but very charming and the staff is really friendly.

Plussat: The staff and location were great

Miinukset: There was a strange noise, I couldn't make out if it was the piping or drainage!

Plussat: Staff was nice. Location was also good.

Miinukset: There was a mouse in my room. Of course they gave me a different room but it had a smaller bathroom. Also the room was very cold and Wi-Fi didn't work in the new room.

Plussat: Breakfast was lovely and plenty to eat and drink. Location was easy, but the hill up from train station was a bit hard. Restaurants in area were very easy to locate and food was fantastic

Miinukset: Nothing to report

Plussat: Good service

Miinukset: No heater in the room

Miinukset: Huoneisto oli karu, kuuma ja vaikka sijainti oli lähellä kaupunkia, niin siitä oli inhottavan jyrkkä matka hotellille jossa aamupala oli. Mueluummin olisin ollut ylhäällä hotellilla. Jos siis varaat erillisen huoneiston, joudut kipuamaan todella jyrkän mäen hotellille. Hotelli oli tasoonsa nähden kallis ja vielä sen lisäksi piti maksaa 40€ kahden päivän autoparkista, joka oli kadulla ilman suojaa. Ahdaskin paikka oli. Booking yleensä ilmoittaa kyllä kaikki maksut, mutta täällä vielä kerrottiinkin ettei kaupunkivero kuulukaan hintaan. Asunto oli todella kuuma ja kostea. Ei ilmastointia. Kaiken lisäksi asunnossa oli seinillä hometta etenkin kylpyhuoneessa ja siellä haisikin home. Olohuoneen sohva oli huono ja haisi kovasti homeelle. Sain siitä oireilujakin. Tv ei toiminut aluksi koska pistorasiasta ei tullut sähköä. Piti vaihtaa pistoketta. Samoin monet makuuhuoneen pistorasiat eivät toimineet. Liesi oli kaasuliesi. Omat tulentekovälineet piti hoitaa itse. Henkilökunta ei tätä aluksi kertonut kuten muutenkin ei juurikaan informoitu ja opastettu mistään. En tuohon hintaan ikinä majoittuisi uudelleen.

Plussat: staff and breakfast are really great

Plussat: Location and excellent. The views to the ocean were stoning. The staff was outstanding. Attentive, very responsive to requests and accommodation. Always, always with a big smile The breakfast was absolutely very delicious. The staff member who was responsable to the check in was fenomenal, great attitude, always smiling. A 10 plus for him and the morning staff also. Happy that we were able to find a Spanish channel on the TV (Television Española) that keep us entertained during the night. Please keep it up for other future Spanish speaking customers.

Miinukset: Bathroom to small and was not quit clean. The shower head installed was very low quality. The holder wasn’t able to hold the shower head. As a consequence we have to maneuver the telephone shower with the hand.

Plussat: Great location and comfortable and clean rooms. The staff was friendly and helful

Plussat: We had an amazing stay here in Riomaggiore, and wished we could have stayed here longer!! Such a beautiful place, the hotel is located a short walk up the hill from the town centre and with access from the lower streets by a lift which was handy. Very clean and tidy room, and we were also treated to a complimentary upgrade from a standard room to a sea view room since the hotel was quieter in the low season! Enjoyed the beautiful views from our balcony and also had a delicious breakfast with fresh pastries, fruit and fresh coffee each morning! Would highly recommend a stay here.

Plussat: Good was great staff were friendly

Plussat: Wonderful staff and breakfast

Miinukset: You can hear all rooms around!

Plussat: Super friendly staff, good breakfast included in price, good location close to the elevator (crucial in cinque terre!)

Miinukset: HUMIDITY - i got sick during our 2 nights stay, our clothes were literally wet when we woke up in the morning and everything in the suitcase was moist. The staff needs to do something about this issue, because everything else is great about this hotel

Plussat: The location of this hotel is excellent, right in the center of town with lots of restaurants and things to see nearby.

Miinukset: It is very old and nothing has been updated. The AC does not work well, the beds were uncomfortable and the bathroom is just too small. I understand the location is unique and there isn't much space to expand, but with how much money tourism brings into the place they should invest in small improvements to increase guest comfort. A side note: they will remind you that wifi is not included in the price of your room, but that they do have complimentary wifi anyways. It only works out on the street. The wifi can't really be accessed from the room.

Plussat: A great location, just a few steps (uphill) from the pedestrian tunnel next to the train station. Lovely helpful staff. Great hillside view of the town from the balcony of the little apartment we stayed in on the 5th floor. Prepare for many, many steps. A nice, well equipped small kitchen. We could prepare food then take it outside to eat on the balcony with a table for four. The breakfast was really great, good variety of pastries, meats/ cheese cereal.

Miinukset: The light in the stairwell didn’t always work at night.

Plussat: Not much

Miinukset: Overall safety getting to room. Climbing 80+ stairs of varying degrees of difficulty was not appropriate! Checking in during a v busy bar service was terrible and not at all welcoming. Breakfast was also chaotic!

Plussat: The location was very convenient! Close to the train station, the coast/trails and many good restaurants!

Miinukset: The staff could have been friendlier.

Plussat: The breakfast was basic European and very satisfactory. The cappuccino was excellent . The location was outstanding! Some morning, fresh baked coffee cakes were delicious .

Miinukset: Convenience and friendliness.

Plussat: Breakfast was good. people were friendly. The hotel was a little old but expected.

Miinukset: More security in the room. Better locks on the door.

Plussat: Aamupala oli hyvä, vaikkakin henkilökunta siivosi/luuttusi lattioita samanaikaisesti vierellä. Lienee maan tapa?

Miinukset: Huone ikkunaton, huoneilma tunkkainen, suihkutilassa hometta? Ääni käheytyi/loppui ilmeisesti homeen vuoksi. Jääkaappi oli pakastin - nesteet ja ruoat jäätyivät.

Plussat: THIS WAS OUR 2ND VISIT TO HOTEL LaZORZA. THIS TIME WE TRAVELED WITH FRIENDS AND ADULT KIDS. THE LOCATION IS PREFECT AND OUR 3 ROOMS WERE ON THE SAME LEVEL AND HALLWAY.

Miinukset: STREET SIDE ROOMS ARE NOISY

Plussat: If you only care about location this is the place. Air condition is good as well and WIFI works well.

Miinukset: The room was depressing and looked nothing like the pictures. Smallest shower I ever saw. The towels you get are more like sheets. No window to see out. The fridge is too cold so everything you put in there becomes ice. You can hear everything going on outside the room, from the neighbors, the street, the hallway, the bar downstairs and also the trains passing. Breakfast is included but very basic.

Plussat: good value for money in the center. great location, but you only sleep there..

Miinukset: dark room and humide, facing a wall

Plussat: Great location and has a comfortable common space.

Plussat: The room was clean with proper bathroom facilities. The location is great

Miinukset: The check-in process could be improved, especially when late check-in is notified in advance

Plussat: Great location great coffee machine comfy for price

Miinukset: No access to jug to make tea / hot drinks at night

Plussat: The bed was very comfortable as well as the room although a little bit humid. Wonderful location.

Miinukset: The room was a little bit humid and the window did not give much natural light.

Plussat: The staff was great the location marvellous

Miinukset: I didn't like the fact the the room it was a little humid

Plussat: Character room in a well kept property. Lovely helpful staff.

Plussat: Vaikka huone oli kalusteiltaan vanhahko, se oli siisti. Erityisesti pidän siitä, että hotellihuoneen lattia on putipuhdas. Lämmintä vettäkin tuli, vaikkakin pienellä paineella.

Miinukset: Hotelli sijaitsee kylän lähes korkeimmassa kohdassa, joten sinne on melkoinen nousu. Hotellissa haiskahtaa vähän homeiselle ja sain astmaattisia oireita. Huhtikuinen yö huoneessa oli kylmä, mutta onneksi ilmastointilaitteella sai sitten lämpöä huoneeseen.

Plussat: it was a nice hotel very good located

Miinukset: the only reason i'm giving this rate is because of the moldy/musty smell of my room, the sheets and bathroom were clean, it is an old fashioned hotel but was ok.

Plussat: Loved the restful calm relaxing atmosphere . Loved the gorgeous focaccia bread ....loved the allowing of time in the resteraunts to enjoy the lovely pasta dishes and wonderful cocktails and wine. The train services were excellent dependable and the train staff were so helpful and caring .. All....so appreciated beautiful accomadating gorgeous scenery walks ...wonderful piece of paradise....simplistic and one with nature... Thank you

Miinukset: Truly I loved everything ...!!
