The property and service were amazing but my balcony looked out into the tanning deck with plenty of foot traffic making us feel on display while in our room. There was no coffee maker or espresso machine in the room. Valet parking meant they took our car to a lot and then we had to find it later which involved walking through the maze of the hotel. The service at the front desk and with the gentlemen that helped us with our bags was incredible and I have nothing bad to say about them.

A terrible experience! The property is vastly outdated and poorly maintained. Very unclean facilities! Front desk staff are totally inept and complacent. Rooms have zero decorations and are the most spartan I have ever seen. Hotel layout is like wandering through a maze. No assistance with luggage and no convenient parking.

First the good- there is a large car park for visitors to the hotel which is free. The breakfast is very good with a pleasant pool side location with fine views. Nearly all the rooms have a sea view. Then the bad- the layout of the hotel is a nightmare. Some sections of floors do not connect with others on the same floor. Only safe policy is to go down all the way to reception and set out again. To get to our room one had to go up to the third floor and then down stairs to a tiny separate part of the second floor. The room had no balcony although the literature said all rooms had a balcony. (probably reserved for those booking through Expedia). Evening meal included a dish that was absolutely revolting. They did however deduct the cost from the bill. The architect should be condemned in perpetuity to roam the corridors rescuing lost guests. On no account try to find your way back to the upper car park without a guide unless you have marked the way with a ball of wool.

Mostly good, one little niggle.....
very good overall, comfortable hotel, very clean, good location. Loved the big pool on the 4th floor 33 metres long! Lovely breakfast! Loads of choice and friendly staff. Only negative was I asked 3 times for the shower attachment on the bath to be fixed and it wasn't over the whole week we were there. Quite a big deal for us so the hotel gets a big black mark for that! Special mention for Arrika or Erica? our waitress at breakfast. Big smile each morning and couldn't do enough for us and went the extra mile.... big thank you.

Wouldn't stay again
Not a bad hotel, but not a 4 star as claimed, the food in the restaurant not great for the prices , breakfast was absolutely rubbish , quite a steep walk back up the hill from the town , we wanted a drink when we got back the only bar is by the pool and shuts at 6pm the only other place to get a drink was the restaurant which shut at 9.30 pm , the views are nice , there was as a wedding taking place on the Saturday so nobody could use the small pool by the restaurant, we had an ok stay but wouldn't pay nearly 300 euros for 2 nights there again and that doesn't include the city tax

Amazing location, beautiful view of the city and the sea, food is ok but not the best, better outside. Pool was big with amazing view, downfall of this hote was they charge 30euros per person to use the beach which we thought was ridiculous.

Poor quality
I would not recommend this hotel with the following experience I had: 1) the facility is old and malfunction that was not competitable with some motels in some lower tier cities in the world I traveled to. The AC didn't work. The door card didn't work etc. By the way, the room we had was a suite. 2) We arrived in the night and it took us half hours to park a car. It was dark and not clear signs. The access to the parking lot and parking lot to hotel entrance was hard to find and confusing. 3) services: the front desk was not friendly and had no patience. 4) my decision to book this hotel was totally mislead by the photos. In fact, the beach far down the hotel belongs to a third party that charge for staying there. The most disgusting thing was after I swimmed in the sea along the beach, I found there was a big sewage exit above that discharged unknown liquid into the sea in about 80 yards to where I was swimming! 5) the hotel has swimming pool and I saw the staff poured in white cleaning up powders in front the customers which didn't give customers a good perception. I paid about $320/night to stay in this hotel with the above experience and I will not come back again.

Great hotel, great value, amazing views.
A great hotel, amazing views over Arezano and the Ligurian coast. Staff were very professional and friendly. Only draw back for some might be that the hotel is situated on a hill just outside the town and it is a short but steep walk up from the town, that being said the location is the best thing about this hotel, close to town yet very quiet neighborhood and the best views imaginable.

Lovely Place !
We stayed there for 2 days and were happy to have booked a Hotel in a great location, representing the mood of the area. The rooms were large and the view from the rooms were excellent ! . The breakfast was quite good, with a decent spread. The only hitch was that the internet was displaying poor signals in the room and we had to come to the reception to access our messages and mails.

A big let down
I stayed at this hotel in the first week of Oct 2015. I booked the hotel as all the pictures showed it be a beautiful place. Unfortunately, the hotel did not live up to the pictures it displays. Firstly, it was a mission just finding the place, going up the windy mountain roads, and once it was located parking was a struggle. Check in went smoothly. The hotel is very dated, needs to be brought into the current century. It is not ideal for disabled visitors as there are no ramps or any facilities (that I could see). The pool was off limits whilst we were there also. Staff were generally friendly and helpful (except the night receptionist- I asked him for an iron and his reaction startled me. He got very upset and stated that irons are not allowed in the room and no hotel in Italy allows irons. Oh well... that was news to me). Ended up having to pay £40 for 5 items to be ironed. The hotel breakfast was ok but the evening menu was very limited so we ate out every night. The only plus I could see for this hotel was the views and how friendly the staff were (except one ;-)

Nice hotel, nice staff, facilities lacking
Visited at end of sept so weather wasn't the best, large pool was closed, and getting down to arenzano was difficult. Either take the road with no path route or the cable car lift. The lift seemed to be closed a lot of the time. The restaurant food was lovely and the staff were very friendly. The hotel rooms were nice but the heating didnt always come on. For free food go to the cafes in arenzano as every time you order a beer they bring out bread, meat and crisps.

Very nice stay, I recommend.
I only stayed one night, but it was very pleasant. We were in 3 people, and got a renovated room, with a nice balcony with ocean view, Inside the room it was like a 2 bedroom apartment, with a huge bathroom. The big pool was very nice, service very good, the only complain was in the breakfast, there was not enough staff to replace clean dishes, food, milk, beverages. But everything else was very good, I would definetely go back to spend more time.

Great place to enjoy the pool.
If you want to tan and swim on the Italian Riviera, this is a nice place. Take advantage of the pools and private beach. Arenzano is a small town on the Italian Riviera. The hotel is up a hill at the end of town, so if you arrive by train, call a taxi.

Good hotel with great sea views
Perfectly pleasant stay in nice location problems if funicular railway out of order - as it was once - as walk down road to town has no pavement. Good selection of restaurants, bars, shops etc. Very nice pool. Pity you have to pay for use of not very sandy beach as not owned by hotel.
