La Zorza

The hotel may not look like much from the photo but our room was just up the passage way from where you check in and was perfect for our needs. The room was clean and had a small bathroom with shower, toilet, sink, bidet. Clean towels every day. I liked that some of the walls were left as the original brick when it was remodeled. Desk and two chairs and small wardrobe. Two windows looked out onto the passage way let lots of light in. Secured entry to the two rooms on our level as well as to the hotel room. The bar is very busy in the evening and we would not have appreciated the room above the bar. Check in and check out was quick and efficient and included a continental breakfast. After busy long days it was a comfortable room to return to. I would stay there again.

We notified the hotel we required a late check in and they said to ring if we get in after 11pm. We got in at 1pm and tried for 20 minutes to get a hold of management. Finally wet did and she was not happy. We knew we were going to be very late and booked our hotel that allowed late check ins. free breakfast was all eaten in the morning and not replaced. The bed was terrible, the bathroom dirty. If you need a really cheap place you got it. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

Very close to the train station. We ended up missing a train due to delays and so arrived at 10:45 at night. I called the hotel staff who was at home. He offered to come meet us at the train station as we had no idea where to go and it was very dark and there were only a couple of people on the street to ask for directions. The cafe staff(where breakfast is served) were friendly and offered good suggestions of what to see during our short trip.

very loud bar right under

Patrons should be made aware that the hotel has a noisy bar on the ground floor which plays loud music every night till 11pm and later on weekends. Really noisy, irrespective which floor your room is at.

Staff in the morning were untidy, not polite, messy and at 8am on the morning no one wants to hear clubbing music while having breakfast.

Arrived late to find accommodation in a dorm-like setting. Discussed with management and given an upgraded room for the next night which was very nice. Breakfast was excellent. Service staff friendly and helpful. Room on first night was over the bar and was quite noisy: World Cup. Second night quieter as on upper level floor. Rooms were air conditioned. Wifi did not work in rooms and had to be accessed in bar/restaurant. Overall a good experience.

We stayed here for several nights and found it an overall good experience. The hotel is very well positioned in Riomaggiore, next to some excellent restaurants and very close to the train station and marina. The room itself was a bit basic, but it was clean and had everything we needed, including a fridge which came in very handy. The room was cleaned and towels changed everyday. Breakfast was served in the bar below the hotel (where you also check in), although we didn't end up having this as we were always up and out before breakfast hours (8am to 10am). There are several grocery stores very nearby, and an excellent bakery. The hotel is maybe not suitable for those with mobility issues, as to reach the rooms there is a steep stone staircase and no lift. As the hotel is near several bars it can be a bit noisy in the evening until closing time, but with a pair of earplugs we were absolutely fine. If you want a good base for exploring the Cinque Terre and plan to be out and about a lot this fits the bill nicely.

Nice group of people that run it. Close to train station. Breakfast was average. Could have had more and softer towels. Loud with window open, loud, late crowd at the La Zorza Cafe.

Shower was tiny. Staff was good. Breakfast was substandard though the coffee was good. Somewhat noisy, some from people but also you could hear the trains coming through the walls. Good location, near train station.
