Blu Hotel

Everything! The hotel itself is stunning and a credit to its owners and staff. Our room was spacious and had a lovely small balcony overlooking the port. The room was spotless and had nice little extras such as a Nespresso coffee machine with a plentiful supply of capsules and slippers which were greatly appreciated after a long day sightseeing. On our first evening after a long day traveling we enjoyed an aperitif on the beautiful patio before going out for some food. Our breakfast each morning was fabulous, again enjoyed on the patio of the stunning garden which is maintained to perfection. We were provided with all the information we required regarding places to visit and recommendations for restaurants to dine in. Organising a day at the beach in a local beach club was no trouble at all and we were even provided with little bags each containing a beach towel for our trip. Nothing was ever too much trouble. Throughout our stay we were treated in such a friendly yet professional manner by both the owners and staff that made our experience so enjoyable and memorable. Lavagna train station is less than 15 minutes walk and has great connectivity to all the local coastal towns, Santa Margherita and Portofino are a must and of course the Cinque Terre. Lavanga is a lovely small town and is worth exploring for nice restaurants and cafés. Nearby Chiavari is a 20 minute walk across the bridge in the centre of town, is a beautiful old town worth a visit early morning for stroll around the stunning streets, a stop for a coffee and for some shopping (ie before 12.30 when everything suits)

Nothing. Everything was perfect!

The facilities of the hotel are very modern and you feel it is a tidy, clean and confortable place to be. The room had everything I needed, although the room was very small, but still for a few nights is perfectly all right. The best experience of the hotel is not even the hotel itself but the service, the owners are always looking to make you feel as much confortable as possible, they send you the newspaper on a daily basis, they have a lovely organization for the breakfast, and they even sent me a message after I left to wish me safe flight home. I recommend this place 100 %

I think maybe the one thing to mention is that, since the room is really small, the desk is not really confortable to work sine after some time you might feel a bit uneasy on the back, since the chair doesnt have any back support. But still it was a minor detail.

Absolutely everything was fantastic. The staff are incredibly friendly. The breakfast spread was excellent - freshly baked cake every day, croissants, fruit, breads, cheeses, meats, cereals and coffee from a machine. The afternoon apperitivos are very reasonably priced with good snacks. The room was very clean and smelled great. I was in a small double room facing the railway which could be very loud but closing the window blocked out all of the noise. Great location - walking distance to both the Lavagna and Chiavari train stations, the ocean right outside and lots of restaurants nearby. Safe location for a solo female. Highly recommend staying here.

Absolutely everything! It was one of the most beautiful hotels we have been to and that includes the 5 star ones! Pure elegance with a beautiful view of the harbour at the rear of the hotel. Fabrizio and his wife were so hospitable and kind, as were all the staff and we enjoyed every second of our stay. Breakfast was lovely and the dining area gorgeous. We actually didn’t want to leave! I would advise that if you want to visit the area, including Cinque Terre stay here rather than in La Spezia - it is much much nicer!!! I am very sorry we didn’t!

There was nothing we didn’t like except that we had to leave!

Our stay at the Blue Hotel was nothing short of perfect. From the smooth check-in process to the clean and spacious room, everything was exceptional. The breakfast offered was delicious, adding to the pleasant experience. What stood out the most was the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff, making my stay truly unforgettable. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and we highly recommend this hotel.

The hotel was clean, comfortable and in lovely location. Close to restaurants and beaches, lovely bicycle routs you can use as well.

The rooms do not have coffee and tea stations and you cannot get any services or use the hotels gardens or sitting areas from 8pm to 8am. It makes it very uncomfortable if you are an early riser or just wish to enjoy a quite drink before going to bed.

Difficult to mention a single thing that liked us the most. Staff was wonderful, the room was really nice, everything was spotless clean, but what stood out most probably was the breakfast, especially the home made cake every morning.

Unfortunately, the garden closed at 20:00, which is understandable in a family business, where people need an evening for themselves. It wasn't really a disappointment, as we knew it when we booked, but still.....

Specious room, Marina views from window and terrace. Very nice breakfast and sparkling cleanroom. The hotel is maintain at top shape continuously due to the love and care of the owners. The owners are very hospitable and will help you in any possible way.

Our hosts were so welcoming and the breakfast each day was fresh and plentiful. We also had apertivo twice at the hotel and it was equally nice. Every staff member we came in contact with was very friendly and helpful.

Excellent breakfast, very friendly and helpful landlord/staff, nicely decorated small boutique hotel not cheap but good value for money all excellent except may be the aircon installation on the rooftop terrace that is part of the - very nice -deluxe top floor room with sea view (probably nevertheless the best room of the hotel) and made a little bit of noise, but one can still enjoy the terrace and it’s nice deck chairs
