Hotel La Zorza - Riomaggiore

9.1

The quality and location of the hotel was fine. No problems. However, there was a problem with the reservations and the man responsible for overseeing this problem was rude, hateful, obnoxious and downright disgusting in his attitide! That would keep me from coming back or recomending the hotel to my friends!

We stayed at the hotel for ten days, in a room with a double bed which they made into to single beds. The hotel is in the center of the city, and we had our window out in the street. Night time it was very quiet, and in the morning we heard the city wake up. We loved these mornings, with the sounds of the people talking, the shops that opened and once in a while someone sang. The ovners of the hotel, and all the people working there, are friendly , helpful and full of care for their customers. We couldn`t have found a better place to spend our ten days in Cinque Terre! All our regards to all the friendly people at hotel La Zorza. Laila Nilsen and Gerd Ester Lien \

The room we had in Riomaggiore was the largest we had in all of Italy, if not layed out strangely in a three-level way. We were right on the main square of the town, but the noise was not bad at all. The bathroom was large and the showers hot. The breakfast room seemed quite large and had a lot to offer (for Italy) in the way of breakfast options. The city square has everything you could need, even a laundry to get you through the rest of your journey. The stairs up to our room were very steep. This was not an issue for us, but anyone with any incapabilities should be ware! Upon arrival we found that there were lots of other options for lodging that included a sea-view, at a much lower rate. The reception person was mildly friendly, and not that welcoming. (This town was kind of a tourist trap in general, and our experiences with dining were the worse of our trip.) However, you cannot beat the scenery and hiking. The room we had was much to cave-like and I would not stay here again for the rate I paid.

The outside of the hotel looks old and quaint but the rooms are bright, clean and modern with some nice rustic touches (wood on ceiling). Nice view of the street from window. Lots of stairs to climb to room; fewer at rear entrance. Breakfast was rather simple partly composed of packaged food. Beware of the caffe lungo; drinking the entire pot can be too much for the bladder. A loud Saturday night concert could be clerly heard from the room window.

Nice hotel in a restored 17th century building. Room not excessively spacious, but providing all reasonable comfort, clean bathroom, adequate closet facilities, air conditioning extremely quiet and efficient. Street noise can be effectively eliminated by closing the windows. Advice to travellers going to Riomaggiore (not related to the quality of this hotel), be prepared to walk all hills, with a very steep incline from the hotel to the parking area. Parking is limited and expensive as well As far as hotels go, we would return, but we are not the type of people that love climbing steep steps. Cinque Terre for us was a disappointment

The staff (Elenia) was very friendly and informative. Great experience in the Cinque Terre.

This was the only hotel we could find(looking two months in advance)in which to book a room for the two nights we wanted in any of the five towns. I liked Riomaggiore more than I expected to, but for the price this hotel offers very little. The young Riomaggiore native in the office/breakfast room -- Elena -- could not have been nicer. But 221 Euros was at least 60 too many!

We really enjoyed our stay at La Zorza and its sister property Ca Dei Duxi. After a 2 night stay at La Zorza, we decided to make our base for exploration of the Cinque Terre at Ca Dei Duxi, which they recommended to us for the longer stay. We dealt with the same people at both properties. The complete apartment at Ca Dei Duxi was like our own little villa. The staff at both properties (many overlapping)were excellent, spoke good English, and politely endured my less-than pefect Italian. My thanks to Elenia, Anna, and all the staff of both properties for making it a memorable stay. Both places were kept immaculately clean, the cleaning staff never bothered you by banging on the door at some ungodly hour of the morning but somehow always knew when you had left the room and it was always ready again when you returned--don't know how they did that (US hotels should take a lesson here). The rooms were quiet and very pleasant and very competitive in price. I would recommend these two properties to anyone looking for a friendly, no hassle place to stay while visiting the Cinque Terre.

Nice

La Zorza is close to the station and ideal if you are lugging bags and packs, not so good if arriving by car as the carpark is way up the very steep hill.The Hotel was clean and looked as though it had been recently renovated. A bit expensive but compared to stories we heard of others this was really good value.Breakfast was basic but fine, its what you get in Italy. Our room was light and looked onto the street but was well soundproofed, so the drunk college students fighting outside at night and the early morning roadworkers were not heard. The receptionist was very friendly and spoke good English. We both loved the coastal walk and the sunsets over the Ligurian Sea. Note to older travellers, all of Cinque Terra is very steep and if you have difficulty walking you may find the place hard to get around. Those who enjoy walking and spectacular scenery will love this area.

Since the hotel had a one star ranking.. it exceeded my expectations in all aspects.. they should have given it 3 stars at least! Wonderfull accomodations, only the parking area was not sufficient.. communicate on beforehand how you can reserve a parking place.

Nice hotel, but parking problems. We think that the breakfast was to simple.
