Editorial
Hotel overview
Located in Piazza Leonardi in Chiavari, this 3-star hotel offers a basic, practical base for travelers seeking easy access to local transit and coastal attractions. With a modest rating and mixed reviews, the property appeals especially to budget-conscious visitors and those prioritizing location over luxury. Free Wi-Fi and breakfast provide simple comforts, while amenities like on-site parking, air conditioning, and pet and child-friendly policies boost convenience.
The hotel’s proximity to Chiavari's train station makes it ideal for exploring nearby highlights like Castello Brown and the ancient abbey of San Fruttuoso. Though lacking a pool or fitness center, the presence of a restaurant on site addresses guests’ dining needs. The atmosphere is described as quirky and unpretentious, with some contention about cleanliness and soundproofing but praise for attentive staff and a welcoming environment. Shared bathrooms limit privacy but come with clean linen and basic facilities for a short stay.

What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“Very helpful, friendly and attentive personnel. The rooms are all spacy and comfortable, considering it is a 2 star. The owner's wife even cooked what I wanted for dinner, although she was cooking something entirely different for everyone else. And it was delicious! I shall probably return”
“I have been here twice. All the rooms are different and the place itself is a bit quirky, which I find cute. You will probably get better service if you speak Italian, but there is someone who speaks English during the day and early evening. 5 minutes from both the sea and the station”
“Last summer my partner and I were traveling through europe by car. In between we made spontaneous stops and had to think quick where to stay and found this little gem. We were in Milano and couldn‘t make it on time to the hotel so my partner called (the workers spoke spanish as well so that helped) made sure we still got inside besides arriving far after midnight. We were really in need of a safe space and found it there. After seeing so many negative ratings on this hotel I had to step in. The breakfast consists of croissants and a coffee (when we were there so i don‘t know if it‘s always like that) and it was delightful to sit on the front porch and enjoy the energy. Also, we broke something and the workers were kind about it- actually, they were quite nice and kind all the time! We had a nice room with a balcony and a shared bathroom. That‘s actually an aspect you may not like if you‘re looking for something highly luxurious. Besides having your own sink and mirror in your own room you have to share shower and toilet with others. Still, my take was that it was clean, enough, acceptable, but I don‘t bother looking at fine details tbh. We only stayed for two nights but would come and stay for up to a week anytime again. From this hotel we could easily travel to cinque terre and could walk over to the beach. This hotel is perfect for you if you‘re a traveller and mostly have other plans.”
