Very nice and friendly staff; ladies at the reception were super nice and helpful. Breakfast was nice too with diverse options (pancakes/waffles; eggs and bacon; freshly baked bread; brioche; cornflakes; cold cuts; cheese; salads and i think i also saw some vegan options ….). Room was nice and ok; the best part was really really big bed and comfortable mattress. As I was traveling with car garage was a huge plus (good price), supermarket 1min of walk, many restaurants around - just few minutes of walk. The city itself is calm and safe and perfect to start the exploration of Cinque Terre. Recommend. 5/5.
