Reviews for Residence Sole

Review 1：The sound of TV on high volume which our neighbors wanted to watch until late at night disturbing our sleep, as the walls seems to be not very sound proof and some people are not nice enough to understand that not only they are on vacation and that their neighbors may want to sleep after 23:00. No free wifi, but it was not expensive anyway - just 5 eur per day. But this is ok considering the low price of that good apartment.

Review 2：very nice owners, attentive to your wishes. Located directly on the beach with no road or other buildings in front of the house. Good sizes apartment, equipped with all we needed. Good (free) A/C. Big balcony with a table, chairs and clotheshorse, offering perfect view over the sea and the beach. Good own beach. with chairs and umbrellas inclusive in the room price. Outdoor swimming pool with water warmed by sun panels. The hotel is very environmentally friendly. Breakfast is good and served both on the outside terrace overlooking the sea and in the restaurant with panoramic windows facing the sea. Clean and well kept. The free public parking is available right near the hotel. Double doors between the corridor and the room isolate all the possible noise from trains going behind the hotel (so they do not disturb at all if you close both doors). Sleeping with opened windows allows you to hear the sound of the sea! They do not charge you extra for kitchen if you only use some glasses, plates and refrigerator and do not cook. Fascinating old city of Albenga with all its restaurants, bars and shops is just 20 minutes peaceful walking from the hotel. Around the hotel is very quiet and a little bit isolated, which we loved!

Review 3：I did not like the mattress on the bed, it was hard and uncomfortable and gave me headaches, tension and muscular rheumatism in the back and neck.Old worn hotel with old worn furniture. Had to pay extra for everything, loungers by the swimming pool, use of in-room kitchen expensive WiFi, train is traveling just behind the hotel, noisy discos in the vicinity, dull and dry breakfast

Review 4：The Beach and the sea

Review 5：- Very high cost for beach equipment - Wi-Fi which was paid and was not working - no capacity enough - Higher price at the restaurant (in the Albenga is very nice restaurants with half price per the same food)

Review 6：Apartment – Superior apartment is very roomy, cleaned – nice view to the sea and beach well-rounded Breakfast – everything was very tasty nice, smiling personnel cleaned beach, nice sea

Review 7：there is a train that passes during nigth

Review 8：Everything was as described and very clean. The appartment has direct access tho the beach, the place is just wonderful with a beautiful view to the litle island. The breakfast is correct, and there is a wonderfull Trattoria 100m next. Perfect place to relax and chill-out by the sea. The staff was very friendly. We will come back!

Review 11：Being right on the beach and the parking beside the hotel for our dogs in the car - we could see them from our balcony. The restaurant!

Review 12：The view from the window, the friendly staff (especially the young girl at the reception).

Review 13：Away from other facilities and the surrounding area is a bit run down.

Review 14：A room overlooking the beach and very helpful staff. Good breakfast.

Review 16：Location, WIFI/parking/kitchen facilities/ per money.

Review 17：Paying additional 6 euros/day to use the cooker.

Review 18：Spacious apartment Location Friendly staff

Review 19：Right on the sea, no peddlers :")

Review 20：Faulty air conditioning Uncomfortable beds

Review 21：Location Restaurant Breakfast Pool and beach

Review 22：Nothing !!!

Review 23：Good value for the money. Friendly staff. Nice swimming pool.

Review 24：payable parking too small, very far from the centre, an 50minutes of walking. Good for resting but you cant go abywhere without car.

Review 25：it was clean, it was directly on the sea, it has a private beach, it has a free parking in fromt of the hotel on the street.

Review 26：Do Not Stay Here!!!! We booked for a 2 night stay and booked a Superior Suite. The room was dirty and dated. Air conditioning didnt work, wires hanging out of the wall, sockets hanging off the wall, shower fittings hanging and broken. We payed for wi fi which didnt work. We sat on the verandah at night only to be rudely told to move as this belonged to the restaurant and not the hotel which we hadnt been informed. Hotel bar had no beer, they had to go to local supermarket to buy four bottles,,, poor quality, dirty and unhelpful staff. The pictures make this hotel appear fantastic. Be Warned!!!!

Review 27：Acces is hard and not well indicated. Internet access very expensive, 8€per device per day. The bed was very bad with spring poking at you.

Review 28：We liked the view of the sea.

Review 29：Albenga is really an ugly city. Accomodation don't be fulled by the pictures, the accomodation is really dated, not changed sinds '70ies, in a bad way. Cleaning is excluded from the price, if you want your room cleaned, you have to pay extra. Location..well it is on the beach, but although not far from the ugly city, it is an abandoned road, not nice to walk. Isolation of the rooms very poor, I could hear all the neighbours as if they were sitting besides me. It is too expencive for what is offerd. You better go to Diano Marina or Laigueglia, which is really beautifull.

Review 30：Staff was very freandly.

Review 31：Hotel itself and rooms are a bit worn out and in need of renovation to modern standards and, first of all, to justify the exorbitant price. Daily cleaning is very limited, all extra services (including cleaning of the floor, use of kitchen, Wi-Fi) is provided at a quite high extra cost. Soundproofing is nearly non-existent and every hour you hear passing-by trains and all the time - people sneeze, cough, make sex etc. Given quite a distant location from the center and main attractions and all the above cons, the place is extremely overpriced.

Review 32：View from rooms is great, staff is nice, breakfast is okay, and this is pretty much all of the pros of this hotel.

Review 33：It's necessary to pay extra for many things which should be included when you book an appartment (use of kitchen, cleaning up an changing daily towels etc.

Review 34：Almost everything very nice. Excellent position and good equipement of the appartments at a fair price. Breakfast okay...

Review 35：Walls were super thin. Our neighbors were up making noise until 5 a.m. and it sounded like they were sitting in our room with us.

Review 36：Beautiful location. Large, clean rooms with terrace overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. Helpful staff.

Review 37：There was a railway line close by but fortunately the ocean noise compensated for that noise. The beach is not very sandy.

Review 38：The closeness to the ocean and the restaurant was good (although expensive compared to a local pizza place where we had delish pizza the 2nd night).

Review 39：Leaving the hotel on foot was desolate and not nice...run down buildings, abandoned buildings. Albenga is full of massive, run down camper parks. Many of the restaurants seem to be suffering from the economic downturn.

Review 40：Apartments clean, staff very helpful and friendly, hotel and beach beautiful and clean. We found the promenade. It was clean and beautiful.

Review 41：The rooms were simple, and not luxurious in any way, but spacious and clean, the bed was quite comfortable.

Review 42：Beach : quiet and nice atmosphere, clean, not crowded. View from the room/balcony: Fabulous seaview! Staff : Very friendly and helpful, very professional in contact with guests, formal but personal service at the same time. Breakfast : Very nice and tasty, including excellent coffee. Elegant breakfastroom with amazing seaview.

Review 43：The room equipement is really old. Many things like kitchen usage, aircondition are charged extra 10 Euro parking slot means to park in sand on beach instead of caravan

Review 44：Hotel is located next to beach Stuff is open and willing to help Beautiful public beach

Review 45：Great hotel, just in front of a beautiful beach. The swimming pool was great. Staff people at breakfast was very kind and helpful. We had a really good time in Albenga. We loved visiting the San Remo bicycle path and the ghost town of Bussana Vecchia.

Review 46：hard to find because there is another location with the same street. we suggest that hotel clarify the directions.

Review 47：Friendly staff, spacy rooms, terrace overlooking sea. Definitely great value for the price.

Review 48：Without navigation, it would be difficult to go. So very quiet around the hotel.

Review 49：All rooms have sea-view. The Mediterranean Sea! And its own private beach and pool. Staffs are friendly and room facilities are good and clean. This hotel is like a hidden valley.

Review 50：Great location on the beach, great views of the island, and very good breakfast overlooking the beach. Easy walk to the old town of Albenga. We enjoyed our stay thank you

Review 51：The magnetic cards used for entering the parking area and pool was fussyand did not work reliably, but this was minor.

Review 52：The best thing is being right on the beach. Our room was upgraded forfree which was very nice.

Review 53：- The sun-beds cost additional 2 euro per person per day- the rooms need some refurbishment, the bathroom shower cabin was a leaking a bit but didnt caused a major problem.

Review 54：+ Reasonably priced+ Direct on the sea, + Hotel owned private beach with chairs and subbeds reserved for guests + a not so small swimming pool +excellent service, very friendly and hospitable staff + restaurant inside hotel with excellent quality food with reasonable prices +kitchen inside room + very good view of sea from balkon of the room

Review 55：Our room had a direct acces to the beach, spacious apartament, nice facilities for children, charming staff, good breakfast. We would reccomend it especially after the high season, otherwise it might be too crowdy.
