Location and staff

Need to be update old fashion

Beautiful historical hotel (the first grand hotel built in San Remo in 1861) with a lot of character. Staff are very friendly and helpful. We had a cozy room with a nice balcony with table and chairs that we used a lot. Shower and towels are nice, the aircon is very efficient and silent. Sound proofing with the outside is very good. The cleaners are doing an incredible job in the rooms but also in the communal spaces. The breakfast buffet is very nice. Last not least: the seawater swimming pool is superb (no chemicals and no dead insects in the water). We have to pay extra for the sunbeds, and we did for a couple of days, which was actually very good and much cheaper than the ones on the beach. Location is very convenient (beach, town centre, cafés and restaurants and the 20-km coastal cycling path within walking distance). We had a fantastic stay!

Sound proofing with the neighbouring room was not as good as with the outside (there is a door between the rooms that doesn't seem very thick, which is a shame). Some bits are old and not very functional, for example the light switches, but that was not a major problem.

Close to the beach and with pool.

Building in need of renovation, showers with low preassure, breakfast just ordinary, ”thin walls” and you can hear everything from next door,

Property had a lot of history (Victorian construction, famous past guests such as Charles Dickens, Giarabaldi). Large room with balcony view of Mediteranean. Excellent English breakfast included. Nice salt water swimming pool. Courteous and attentive staff.

Limited parking, but staff was extremely helpful in finding free nearby parking. Due to age of property, air condittioning not optimal, but room had nice breeze coming off the sea.

This Hotel is a step back in time. We had a comfortable stay and the staff were friendly.

Nothing.

It was our second time spent in this very hotel. The bed is very comfortable, the view is astonishing, and the bathroom is spacious and clean. Welcoming staff and housekeepers. The location couldn't be better. We didn't need to use our car at all within Sanremo. I loved writing on the balcony. It gives utter inspiration immediately.

The twin room is although more spacious than the single, but one can hear literally everything from the other room, especially the parquet creaking. Fortunately, we only had one occasion, having to wake up at 6 am for a couple leaving next door.

Good location, very nice historic hotel, good sleep and tasty breakfast. Anytime again!

A grand old hotel in a great location staff were polite and friendly everywhere was clean and the decor reflects the grandeur of the past

The room was very dated and in need of modernisation and maintenance.

You could see that hotel needs to be refreshed but apart from that it was very nice. The room was big and clean. Breakfast was really good. the hotel is located in a very nice area, but you need 10-15 minutes walking to the city center and 30 minutes walking from the train station.

The only thing we didn’t like is that they charge 7€ per person per day if you want to use towels and chaise-longues next to the pool, considering that summer season is over, it’s a bit excessive and in general it should be included in the price of the room.

Clean, friendly and good location. breakfast was excellent and plentiful, good value. Sufficient parking behind the hotel for parking.

I requested a single double bed, but had two singles together that made in uncomfortable and mattresses were too hard for my liking. Flooring in bedrooms creaked a lot so I was kept awake by the people walking about late at night in the room above and to the side. The bathroom has a bath and hand fixture with extension hose for the shower head but without a will bracket which was not ideal to have a standing shower.

Exceptional hotel and service. The food and serving were very good, beyond my expectations. The architecture of the hotel is outstanding and the decor makes you feel like you're in a castle. A great place to return to.

The breakfast was very good. Also the location

There was nothing i didn’t like but the room could use Some styling. It is a beautiful old hotel. It deserves more

the pool, the old-style grand hotel atmosphere…the plants the

the birds that “bombed” the car, the AC the fact that

la tranquillité et the old worldliness of the public rooms.

all ok!

location, pool, car parking, very nice lunch beside the pool.

breakfast could easily be improved with better choice of fresh fruit, juices and better quality breads/pastries.

l’emplacement

Sea of water in the swimming pool and watermelon by the pool made my stay ) It’s important to include in that list the last parking spot

Great views spacious room, lovely pool

Liked everything!

The breakfast was really good as they had a great variety of things to eat. The location was also great. You can access everything by foot and the beach is right by the hotel. The hotel also has a pool, which was very nice.

The charm of the hotel. Lovely atmosphere and smiling people. The old bar was a quiet and nice place reminiscent of the times when people were focus on there welfare and not on their phonesfare.

Architecture of this old hotel is great, reminds me of some old times when Sanremo was flourishing. Hotel bar is great.
