Been there in November 2024, for a weekend, with my family. Nice hotel, with a perfect position, being close to a lot of points of interest, in particular: Nervi railway station, Antica Passeggiata Garibaldi, the sea, and Nervi downtown. The hotel is nice, clean, but overall would need a renovation. Sorry to say that the personnel are kind of friendly, not always, not everyone of them. Anyway, overall, we had a nice experience. Recommended.
