Guest Reviews
- anastasiaEngland (10/5): Good choice - This hotel offered a lot for a three star. The lady at reception was really nice and helpful. We were in our room fairly quickly. We had two rooms, for grandparents and the younger ones. Very clean, big beds with white sheets. Bathroom a bit small, but good pressure of water. Room cleaned daily. No safe. Very safe car park ( payable locally). Dog friendly. The beach was in front of hotel and the dog friendly beach was within walking distance. Beaches were pretty full. July and August is not the best time, as we all know children are on holidays. Although it is a basic hotel, we all agreed that we had a great stay. Excellent location. We never had a meal there, as we were meeting friends and family. Sestri Levante is beautiful. It was our second time, certainly not the last one.
- Henric (10/5): Bra läge och fint hotell - Mycket bra läge nära stranden. Vi blev dubbelbokade på det aktuella rummet men hotellet ringde och beklagade sig och bad om ursäkt. Vi fick ett annat rum som var helt okej utsikt. Vi fick istället rabatt på rummet. Sånt som kan hända men personalen löste det smidig och professionellt. Mycket trevliga.
- Christer (10/5): Christer - Mycket trevligt Hotell, kan rekommendera full pension, god mat mycket bra service , samt egen strand egna stolar perfekt. Hotell och personal var outstanding, kan varmt rekommendera detta hotell
- daniela (10/5): - Reception team were very welcoming and friendly. Very clean hotel. Room comfortable, clean white sheets. Very clean bathroom, rather small. Excellent location. For a three star hotel it is very good.
- kjell (10/5): Härligt hotell - Väldigt fint hotell och ett perfekt läge vid stranden. Kunde varit lite bättre frukost dock. Men annars väldigt bra. Stora rum och magisk utsikt från balkongerna
- Tuija (10/5): Fantastiskt läge i Sestri Levante - Härligt hotell med underbar utsikt över havet. Saknade information på rummet om hotellet, omgivningarna samt olika utflyktsförslag. Vatten på flaska hade varit uppskattat på rummet samt i receptionen
- Marcel (8/5): Wunderschöne Kurzferien - Freundlicher Empfang, geräumiges Zimmer (Schallisolation haben wir nicht bemerkt), schöner Balkon mit Blick auf das Meer und ruhig, da etwas am Rand des Dorfkerns. Das Frühstück war gut und reichhaltig Parken konnten wir in der weissen Zone. In dieser Jahreszeit hat es genügend Parkplätze. Generell ein sehr gutes Hotel aber etwas in die Jahre gekommen.
- Michael (10/5): - The Hotel Celeste was absolutely a paradise! The area was very safe to walk, beautiful scenery, and the people are so nice. We definitely plan on coming back!
- Darren (2/5): Very disappointing - would not recommend - Don’t trust the price on booking, the hotel is full of add ons!! On first impressions the staff were pleasant but the decor in the reception was a little worn and dated. We were suggested to go to the restaurant to have lunch whilst we waited for our room to be ready, this was the first real disappointment; we paid 16 Euros for a salad which was pretty much leaves, and a few bits of salmon, which tasted a little off. Secondly we read the hotel had a private beach so afterwards headed there only to find out that not only was it an extra charge but that it was “fully booked” despite there being about 50 beds free, the hotel rent out the beds to locals on a monthly basis and therefore there are none available to hotel guests. Final extra charge was the baby cot we asked for, my husband booked a room for 3 people and paid extra for it only for us to be charged 20 Euros for a baby cot. We’ve travelled around Italy and no other hotel has charged us for a cot, something we didn’t expect especially when we’d paid extra for our baby already. This hotel is a rip off, there were so many extras on arrival the price rocketed. Oh and if we wanted to park a car it’s another 20 euros. In fact I’d you want to breathe that’s extra. No kettle or facilities in the room
- Stefan (8/5): - Close to the beach and train station.
- Ganna (8/5): - Good hotel in good place
- Tour687246 (10/5): Perfect stay, top service , best holiday ever ! - Beautiful and cosy hotel, you feel velcome the minute you arrive. Top professional service from the most charming and friendly staff you can imagine. The hotel restaurant Mapi is fantastic, so good food ! The rooms, the view, the beach and staff there, cleaning, all is so perfect and still so full of charme and authentic dedication to give their guests the best stay possible. Sestri Levante is a fantastic place, and Hotel Celeste makes it perfect. We had booked 9 nights, but we stayed for 3 extra nights, and we are definitely coming back again!
- Nicola (8/5): - Lovely hotel with friendly staff. Room’s spotlessly clean and nice size. We didn’t have a balcony but as we were out most of the time it didn’t matter. We did take our own kettle however when we asked if we could have a couple of teabags the restaurant charged my husband €4 euros for 2!! The private beach is nice however you still have to pay for sun beds & umbrella even though you are staying at the hotel which really should be included if you are a guest. Good location for Sestri Levante
- Mariapaola (8/5): - Molto buono
- Arne Tommy Johnsgård (10/5): Superb hotel - Me and my wife had a great stay at Hotel Celeste. The staff was very friendly and serviceminded. Great location.
- Odd (10/5): - Pent hotel. God beliggenhet og rent og pent
- Phillip (10/5): - It was a great experience and a wonderful place to relax. The staff very nice and knowledgeable about the area and what was the best places to visit and the food in restaurant was excellent.
- Beatrice (10/5): - Tolle Lage am Meer, freundliches Personal
- roseannen125 (10/5): Conveniently Located, Friendly & Warm - Our stay at Hotel Celeste was perfect for us. Rooms are clean and basic, gorgeous sea view, and terrific staff, especially Franco. We hiked the Cinque Terre, spent an afternoon Portofino, explored the charming town of Sestri Levante, spent time on the beaches.
- Andreina (8/5): - In front of the beach... The room was not too large but Cosy...unfortunately No hairdry and no opportunity to make coffee or tea in the room.
- W Angela (10/5): Bravissimo - Great location!! Friendly staff, and the room was very clean. Such a great stay we ended up staying another night!!
- 377raduv (10/5): the destination for resourcing - Astonishing views on the bay from the seaside rooms, private beach with bar and restaurant available just in front of it. The location is near the cycling route and 5 minutes’ walk to old city center. Hotel staff is very friendly, well trained, and polite. But what make the location very special is the owner, Frank. Third generation family business, he starts working since he was young on the hotel with his father, starving to offer excellence in services. Present on site with from early morning until late night, he and his family are doing the best to accommodate your needs. The hotel has his own parking and is very close to rail station and 15 minutes walk from the ferrys lines to Cinque terre or Portofino We will definitively return.
- Pia (10/5): - Trevligt och fint hotell rekomenderad
- Marion (10/5): - Sestri Levante is a small pretty town with lots of shops and restaurants and this hotel is ideally situated on the seafront just a short walk from the train station if you plan to do the Terras. The hotel is exactly as Described. We had a nice room with a beautiful sea view. Just lovely
- Peter (10/5): - Hotels hosts were amazing, could not have been nicer people.
- Tamara (6/5): - Hotel in unmittelbarer Nähe zum Strand. Hotel außerhalb vom Stadtzentrum, ist aber fußläufig zu erreichen. Essen und Service im Restaurant sehr gut. Leider sehr in die Jahre gekommenes Hotel und keine deutschen Fernsehsender.
- Karen (10/5): Fantastic hotel! - Our stay was at the Celeste was wonderful; fantastic location on the beach front, a 5 minute walk to the train station (to visit the Cinque Terre, Portofino etc) lovely staff; nothing was too much trouble and as we checked and told the manager we were celebrating our 25th wedding we were upgraded to room 25 with a sea view! The hotel is spotlessly clean and lovely continental breakfasts. Will definitely stay again and recommending to friends!
- Pearl65 (10/5): Perfect base for exploring by train - Had a glorious week here. Can highly recommend hotel, resort and access to other locations. It's central to restaurants and beach, just a 5 min walk to station but still quiet to sleep. The owners couldn't be more helpful or friendly. We were B&B but we ate at hotel once. It was as good as any as they were all great. Used train for Cinque Terre, over two days as it was very hot walking and we didn't want to overdo it but it could be possible in a very long day. We also went to Portofino but the train only goes to Santa Margherita. From there it's either a walk (which we did), a bus or a ferry. We took the ferry back. We also went back to Santa Margherita for a day and then Rapallo another day which was a great surprise as we found a cable car with the best coastal view and coffee and cake on the terrace was one of the highlights of the trip! We absolutely loved the area. The resort of Sestri Levante was perfect for us as we wanted a choice of restaurants without the nightlife which would attract hen/stag parties etc and it was more of a family resort. We flew into Genoa airport which was fine going in but going back was dreadful as it's really too small and very badly designed and unable to cope with the number of flights. We booked through our local travel agent and Typically Italian and it all went very smoothly. We were independent but had a telephone number of a local point of contact if needed, which thankfully we didn't. Both booked transfers were on time and clean.
- hlazz59 (10/5): Great location - Very friendly staff and a great location ( right on the beach). Sestri Levante is a great place to stay if you wish to visit the Cinque Terre villages further down the coast. The beach Bar in this hotel is a lovely place for evening cocktails.
- Harm (4/5): Poor hotel in mediocar beach location - Room was very poor for this price
- Greg (8/5): Great location - Across from beach and very short walk to everything.
