I had a wonderful stay at this hotel, where the owner went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. The location is perfect for exploring nearby Portofino and the rooms are both charming and clean. Breakfast on the terrace was delightful, but the only downside was that the rooms could be a bit dimly lit at times.

My stay at this hotel was a mixed bag. While the staff was incredibly friendly and caring, and the rooms were clean, I encountered some issues, like noise from the nearby road and a few maintenance problems. Breakfast options were minimal, which was a letdown. Overall, it was decent value for money, but there’s definitely room for improvement.

I absolutely loved my time at this hotel! The owner, Stefania, was incredibly friendly and went out of her way to help us, even making breakfast for us at 5 AM. The rooms were spacious and offered a beautiful view of the canal, making the slightly higher price worth it. The only downside is that I wish we could have stayed longer—just one night felt too short.

I had a pleasant stay at the Hotel Portofino, where the comfortable rooms exceeded my expectations. I really enjoyed the rooftop terrace for afternoon drinks and found the staff exceptionally helpful. However, the bathroom was quite small and noisy, which detracted a bit from the overall experience. The breakfast was excellent for the price, but Wi-Fi was a weak point. Overall, it’s a great value for money in a good location near the train station.

I had a lovely stay at this hotel. The staff were incredibly helpful and the breakfast choices were delightful with a cozy atmosphere. The room, while spacious and clean, had a mattress that was a bit uncomfortable. The noise from the nearby road was noticeable at times, but I'd still happily return for the friendly experience and great amenities.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! It offers incredible value for money, especially for a two-star place. The location was perfect, just a short walk from both the railway station and the ferry. My room was basic yet very clean, and the owners were genuinely helpful and friendly. The breakfast spread was generous, and the terrace view was a nice touch for evening drinks. A couple of minor downsides were that the shops closed in the afternoons and the ticketing process at the station took longer than expected, so plan accordingly.
