Excellent location, close to two major pedestrian streets and the large market area. Outstanding breakfast buffet. Rooms were typically smaller, as common in Europe, and lacked sitting - no chair/couch or similar, and no counter space at all in bathroom.

Great breakfast buffet with lots of variety, including fruits, bread, juice, cheese, smoked salmon… the staff at the front was helpful too. We asked them how to get to Portavenere and they offered much help on that. It turned out a great escape for peace.

Room was new, clean and comfortable, but area was kind of quirky. No electrical outlets near bed and space to put toiletries, etc was limited. Shower was big! Smoke detector flashed all night on the ceiling. Kind of bothersome.
