What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“Simple, charming hotel with exceptional service. The rooms are clean, with everything you could want. Small balconies and a pleasant outdoor terrace for aperitivo. Perfect location, close to the railway station and a short walk from centro storica. Also very close to the free beach, which stretches all the way to the river. And a very reasonable price! Highly recommended place to stay in Albenga. Many thanks to our charming hosts.”
“The personal is very nice and friendly. The hotel is small yet cute and right next to the beach. It is also close to the train station. The breakfast was good and satisfying. I would definitely recommend to stay at this hotel if you ever visit Albenga.”
