Camogli Hotels

We had a snall,but comfortable hotel with a great view of the sea-good value for the price. Very friendly, helpful staff There was were steep stairs gong down to get in hotel. which makes getting luggage in and out difficult

Having a corner room with lots of windows (including a seafacing bathroom), gorgeous views, beautiful parquet and enough space to walk around in. No elevator.

Environment, location No

very near to the beach

Location is fantastic A bit pricey for the services and overall quality. But as mentioned the location is second to none.

Excellent location and fantastic view. Camogli is very pretty and you can see the entire water front from this hotel. A great place to stay, vey near railway station, but quiet.

I liked the location of the hotel very much, close to the marina, beaches, old town, railroads. I like the small size of the hotel, only 5 rooms which creates a very cozy athmosphere. The staff was very good and helpful. The repertoire of breakfast foods can be increased.

location we stayed at this hotel purely because it advertised a swimming pool . Only to discover that you have to pay 36 euro to have access to the pool , per person per 24 hours . A complete rip off . Have never experienced this in any hotel world wide . The service is Not 5* , Front desk staff answer the telephone whilst attending to a customer, anyone in the service industry would know that this is a definate No No ?? for the price of this hotel for one night you should be able to get 2 nights at an equally nice hotel . If you want 5 star service and facilitys forget Italy , Go to Dubai ...

perfect location...perfect views ...most luxourios in portofino coast but rooms to be renovated and there must be coffee an tea facilieties in the room but over all a very pleasent stay in great portofino..

Poor air conditioning and no place to sit in room or lobby to read.

I think the price for the room was good and it was not too far from the center. The Hotel staff - at the receprion , the waiters, and esp.the barkeepers- was unfriendly.

very nice place good hotel

the setting the sexually inappropriate art work in the room

Definitely not for the faint hearted or budget conscious traveler. This means the hotel guests are not faint hearted or budget conscious :-) As one guest put it: Sometimes it is good to make it harder for guest. The first night's meal was exceptionally good. The nature and views cannot be beat. The rocky outcropping that serves as a swimming point (with calm seas) offers spectacular wave crashing views. Many walks into the beautiful nature reserve and nearby towns. The current owners have been running the hotel for about two years. The casual atmosphere breaks down and the lack of experience shows when things go wrong. On the second night we ordered a shellfish dish (specifically recommended by the waiter) that contained rotten shellfish. Our concerns and experience (child throwing up in the restaurant toilet) were either dismissed (flippantly pointing across the bay saying: "the hospital is over there") or belittled ("it is possible that eating the dinner outside in the cold night air could lead to feeling sick, none of the other guests have a problem") and they were clearly out of their depth in dealing with the situation. It should be said that swimming is only possible when the sea is very calm.

Overall it was very pleasant. Nothing stands out. We were astounded at having to pay €20 each for a water taxi to the hotel - as the water bus service had stopped. I would not have booked if I had known this in advance. Also the hotel website mentions that it is possible to walk from Camogli to the hotel in 40 mins... absolutely not possible with bags as there are more than 2000 steps. The staff are not very knowledgeable about the area - when we asked for a route to walk into Camogli a group of about 8 were invoved in discussions before someone came up with directions. Also we had a poor sea view considering we paid extra for a superior room.

The breakfast choice was extremely good. The hotel was quiet with no disturbances at night - just the sea lapping outside the window. Shower was poor - perhaps a new showerhead might have helped.
