Nice hotel 2 minutes from the beach.
We had a great week in Pietra Ligure and communications with the hotel about parking, adjoining rooms and arrival time were excellent.
The hotel is 2* plus and you get what you pay for - personally i think some of the reviews i have seen forget that and review as if it were 5*, hence some lower scores.
The staff/owners were helpful. The rooms were clean with comfortable beds and a compact but perfecty acceptable shower/toilet room. Some parts of the hotel are a bit tired but nothing that affected our enjoyment. The balcony of our room had a mountain view and a side view of the sea. We sat on the balcony early in the morning and early evening catching the sun. The room had air conditioning, given the temperature overnight it was a real +ve and worked really well. There is a railway behind the hotel and some people have said in reviews this disturbed them. It is true that the trains run through the night but we can honestly say this didn't disturb us. There are no safes in the rooms but you can use a safety deposit facility in reception as i did for passport and some valuables this can be accessed 8am till 8pm. Breakfast was included in our rate and there was a really good selection of yoghurts, pastries, croissants and the local speciality foccaccia. There are also hot options of bacon and scrambled eggs and the continental options of prosciutto and cheese. There are fruit juices and great coffee from a real bean machine serving a variety of coffees hot water for tea.
