We really enjoyed our stay in Alassio at the Grand Hotel Spiaggia. The main things that we liked were its closeness to the beach and restaurants, as well as the very friendly and helpful staff. The one downside was the high cost of sunbeds (€20 per bed per day) on the hotel's part of the beach.

Liked friendly staff, location.
Didn't like 30 euro a day to park the car, felt more like a fine !
Roof top pool - noisy - air con extractors.
The hotel has great potential, they just don't know how to maximise it - Roof top pool bar - not staffed, Main bar not staffed, have to go to reception to order drinks, great area on the promenade but again no bar or not staffed, just a facility that is woefully under traded as a commercial operation, but then if they can get £150 a week off people for parking why would they bother.
Gym equipment not working very well, all needs servicing/oiling
won't stay there again.
Lovely night with my elderly mother as everything very accessible. Staff excellent. Lovely restaurant for breakfast and good choice. Roof terrace must be lovely in summer.
We have stayed at this hotel previously and as before they made us very welcome, from the girls on reception, always ready to have a few words, to the members of staff in the restaurant. Our experience is that it is an excellent place for an off season break.
Good hotel close to the beach. The breakfast was very good value; whereas the evening meal was not worth 25 Euros each in comparison to meals out in the town. The room was very clean with good closet space for clothes etc; The hotel staff in general were very good and helpful.

Great hotel in Alassio
Wonderful breakfast and dinner with view. Also amazing rooftop terrace pool and helpful staff. Location making taxi from train station essential.
Nice hotel on edge of town (10mins walk from centre) with helpful staff and good facilities. ‘Grand Hotel’ title may be rather overblown but it is a good 3/4 star hotel. Roof terrace is nice but needs sun umbrellas to be practical to use in summer sun and heat.
Warm welcome on arrival, porter took our bags off taxi and desk staff checked us in promptly.
Our rooms had side balcony sea views as the hotel sits on the promenade. Good air conditioning and shutters. Room well fitted out.
Restaurant on top floor with great views served excellent breakfasts and dinners on the two nights we ate in.
Situation of hotel ideal for beach and town shopping and eating . Delightful walks and public transport within easy reach and hotel's outside promenade side seating area added bonus.
Would certainly not hesitate to return to the Spiaggia and Alassio.
We spent a very enjoyable couple of days at this hotel, staff very good and helpful, best on reception, although we noticed the waiters in the restaurant were a great help to an elderly couple, going as far as to bring them their food from the buffet. Position of hotel excellent. some road noise but that is to be expected in this sort of location.
Superb location, right on the beach. Just far enough away from the center to not feel so packed with crowds at night, but 5-10 minutes walk to all of the restaurants and the pier. Great great staff. Very professional and helpful. Front desk spoke English well. The bathroom was large and well equipped. A/C worked great.
The food was cafeteria level at best. I would suggest eating lunch and dinner out, unless you are on a very tight budget or are feeding kids. The WIFI was virtually un-usable. Even something simple like Wikipedia and email, timed out. I could reach Yahoo news. Not even Google.
Fawlty Towers springs to mind! We had a flooded bathroom on the first night and the Manager did a wonderful Basil when we told him. It was repaired the next day..with liberal amounts of silicone. We retired to the bar for a beer but the draft beer was off and another guest had to provide a bottle opener.
The sitation is good, opposite the beach, and the breakfast is excellent for an Italian hotel
I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. Great beach location. Can her ocean waves from hotel room. Close to downtown for shopping and food. Can walk anywhere in town.
Rooms were very clean. Loved the balcony.
Weaknesses: wifi-not strong nor reliable, off season they disable the in room air conditioners.
The only positive thing I can say is the location of the hotel. It's right on the beautiful beach, which, by the way costs 23 euros per person, per day.
The manager of the hotel was very unprofessional, we were standing by his desk just to buy the tickets to the beach, he completely ignored us, serving only Italian customers who just cut through the line.
He said:"I don't like you!"(!!!)
There was a problem with the electricity when the plug exploded in my hand.
The housekeeper didn't change the towels and left a dirty cloth on the vanity.
I cannot believe that this is a 4-star hotel!
Enjoyed the location, the hotel was very clean and the staff professional. Breakfast was a bit if a let down, limited chose and no hot food. Beach lounge a bit expensive at 23 euro a head. Lido restaurant over the road was very good.
Perfect location, lovely room with mini bar and partial see view, late booking not guarantee balcony, lack of tea making facilities in the room is the only fault I could find
Was asked to pay additional 30 euros per day for parking. Also found out that hotel beach is additional 20 euros per person per day, with no option for half day. For late check out was quoted 40-60 euros.

the star here is the sea and the beach
The bathroom and amenities are very good, bathrobes, towels, Etro collection of shampoo, soap, etc. The breakfast was not on the level of 4 star hotel, not the restaurant condition, could not rate it 4 stars all in all, service is Ok, it had one of the most expensive car parking in my life, 30 euro per night.
Hotel has great location . Breakfast is very good, half-board is great idea, restaurant is excellent and upscale, no shorts, all ladies wear nice dresses.Parking is 30.00 euro per day and if you need your car you have to tell day before . Beach is just in front of hotel, umbrellas are 20 euros per person.
Everything was just perfect. Comfortable, spacious, quiet room; rich breakfast buffet. And if you happen to be there in low season, as we were, you might be upgraded to a room with a wonderful view of the bay.
Das Hotel ist ein paar Gehminuten vom Zentrum weg. Das Zimmer war doch eher sehr klein. Unser Zimmer war nicht mit Blick uf das Meer sonder an das gegenüberliegende Haus. Der kleine Balkon war gerade gut um Wäsche zu trocknen aber um gemütich noch etwas zu Trinken wars zu ungemütlich. Leider war es auch sehr laut. Wir mögen in der Nacht keine Klimaanlage und haben daher das Fenster geöffnet, also dementsprechen sehr lauf. Morgens um 4 Uhr die Müllabfuhr, Lieferwagen die Material abladen usw.
Leider sind auch die Preise für die Liegestühle am Strand viel zu teuer mit 30 Euro pro Person pro Tag, ungeachtet ob du um 8 Uhr schon dort bist oder erst um 16 Uhr. Finde es sehr schade, dass keine Preisabstufung angeboten wird. Den Pool auf dem Dach haben wir nicht genutzt, hier könnnte noch etwas mehr Ambiente nicht schaden. Am Abend einen feinen Drink auf dem Dach ist super. Oder auch ein Nachtessen geniessen auf dem Dach, kostet aber extra.
E' PIU' ANNI CHE UTILIZZO QUEST'HOTEL ED E' SEMPRE UNA GARANZIA....... BUFFET COLAZIONE ECCEZZIONALE E DI QUALITA'...LA TERRAZZA SUL TETTO E SEMPRE BEN TENUTA CON UNA SPLENDIDA VISTA E UNA PISCINETTA MOLTO CARINA.
PERSONALE GENTILE E SORRIDENTE.LA SPIAGGIA PRIVATA TENUTA BENISSIMO PULITA CON PERSONALE GENTILISSIMO. UNICA PECCA IL BAGNO NEL QUALE LA GUARNIZIONE DELLA DOCCIA ERA ROTTA E NE MANCAVA UN PEZZO... ANDATE TRANQUILLI CHE VI TROVERETE BENE....
Aufgrund des Preises haben wir wohl zu viel erwartet. Empfang bei Ankunft nicht optimal organisiert. Garage sehr klein. Zimmer eher klein, aber sauber.
