Camogli Hotels

We LOVED this hotel! The location was perfect, just steps away from the train station (best way to get here), and right on the coastline. The views are amazing, the food is delicious (although expensive), and the staff is very attentive. If you want to swim in the Mediterranean, rather than in the pool, be advised to bring water shoes--no soft sand beaches here! The breakfast is complete--both American and Euro style--don't miss it!

This is our 3rd time staying at this hotel and we find the lcation great, staff freindly, great breakfast and excellent overall value. Our rooms have all had a few of the ocean and the hotel is just steps from the beach.

Overall we had an "OK" experience, the location was exceptional, though at EU220 the value for money seemed low. When we arrived we were surprised to find the hotel closed for afternoon (until 5PM) and we unfortunately weren't able to get in contact with the staff as there was an issue with the phones. When we were able to check in we found the staff member (singular) courteous, but extremely overworked as she had to manage the hotel as well as the cafe. She was kind enough to prepare the in house spa/sauna which were both great, and free for guests of the hotel between 5 and 8pm. The morning staff were both, well, less courteous, and it left us feeling as if we were definitely paying the price for the location, more than for the service.

The Staff was wonderful, helping us with our questions and querries. The Hotel is situated in a very calm place on top of a Mount, the road leading to the Hotel is in adventure of it's own. 2 kilometers of climbs from the main road. There is a free shuttle bus coming and going from the Hotel, there is a schedule but it is very flexible to please the guesses.

There is little doubt that the location is 5 star, and the hotel itself is really nice. However, at no time throughout the booking and confirmation process did we realise, nor were we informed, that the hotel is only accessible by boat (or a 40 minute hike - not on paved roads). After some level of stress finding the ferry station (which was also not easily found), and also a car park in the tiny portside town of Comagli, we really enjoyed the boat ride over, and then relaxed. Don't bring any extra luggage than you REALLY need for your stay. You will need to carry it both to the ferry stop, and also to the hotel from the ferry stop - up stairs. Not a huge drama, but we are travelling for 3 months, and have a medium suitcase each, which was difficult. Importantly, the hotel is most certainly worth it, just be aware of the constraints.
