Reviews for Hotel Ariston
Review 1：The bathroom whilst very clean was very small
Review 2：A lovely hotel, nice bedroom with a small balcony, good breakfast and friendly staff. While not as close to the sea front as we had expected the location is quiet and within easy walking of the beach, shops and restaurants. The parking facilities are great and the hotel is easy to find which was great for us as we were travelling a lot during this holiday
Review 3：Arrived at noon, but had to wait until 14:00 to get our room. The only hotel where this happened.
Review 4：Comfortable hotel room. Clean. Modern lobby. Very good location - walking distance to shore and shopping. Older crowd, but a good place to stop overnight on Riviera visit.Convenient on-site parking - free. Good breakfast.
Review 5：Very small room, staff not very attentive and in some cases even not very kind.
Review 6：Breakfast was good, a good selection of everything including fresh fruits. Beach includieng beds and umbrella included.
Review 7：The fact that we had to pay the coffee that we drinked at the breakfast and they told us to pay the coffee when we payed the room, very unproffesional and i would never recomand this hotel
Review 8：Small cramped stuffy room; scaffold outside window; no working A/C despite our requests-no other "standard" rooms available; express trains every 15 mins or so on nearby line; €10 extra for car parking!
Review 9：Good breakfast and helpful restaurant staff.
Review 10：It is a little bit noisy as the walls are a bit thin and we got to hear our neighbours' conversation... But really, it wasn't a problem for the night,I guess people behave at a certain time when they realise walls let noises through.
Review 11：Hotel location is perfect,2minutes away from the main street. Huge playroom dor my 20month-old daughter. Clean and convenient. Free bikes with babyseat!
Review 12：When we arrived they convinced us to take a room upgrade for "not much more." Then we found out it was 30 Euro more per night (plus 50%of standard room rate). When we said no they gave us a really poor standard room. Bottom floor, no view. They were certainly not full and we were a returning customer. They had eight bicycles to borrow. It took us 45 minutes to get two of them is the shape they were at least useable. Garage parking is 10 E extra
Review 13：Breakfast was very good by Italian standards. Location is good and friendly staff. We were lucky with parking.
Review 14：The trains and the stores can be quite noisy.
Review 15：Good hotel, close to the sea and the small town and the station, good breakfast, very clean, a very correct price in the off season.
Review 16：The rooms at the same price are very different. On the second floor there are two rooms looking at the ventilation tubes-very noisy and uncomfortable.
Review 17：Stuff, location, food, hospitality - almost everything! Have stayed at Ariston Varazze two times, and would like to rest in the hotel again!
Review 18：Almost nobody speaks English, beach is quite far and paid.
Review 19：Cleaning woman was perfect :) She was almost only one, who spoke English well :)
Review 20：comfortable rooms very friendly staff very good breakfast
Review 21：Could probably do with a directory in our room, i.e. Hotel and local information.
Review 22：The Location and our beautiful suite.
Review 23：Fridge not working for 3 days although informed staff on arrival. No air conditioning. Wi fi very poor.
Review 24：location was excellent for walking into the town. Excellent staff. Food in the restaurant was excellent too.
Review 25：small garage and very narrow streets toward the hotel
Review 26：cleanliness, very good design of the room, good breakfast !
Review 27：The WiFi is a pain. Requires signing on even if you come back to it in 5 mins.
Review 28：Loved the location, the quiet, the breakfast, the tidy rooms.
Review 29：Not the easiest place to find.
Review 30：Overall good value in offseason
Review 31：Nothing
Review 32：A very inviting hotel in a very nice setting. Great for encouraging a walk around the town
Review 33：In general the stuff were nice, but there was one person who was rude to us a bit...I hope it was the last time when it happened in so nice hotel.
Review 34：Breakfasts are boring, and there are zero vegetables
Review 35：Very friendly stuff on the deck; nice place, peacefull & quiet
Review 36：The room was very noisy. Unfriendly service during the breakfast.
Review 37：Wi-Fi service was excellent! Bike can be hired.
Review 38：Great breakfast!
Review 39：The only part I did not like is the setting of the restaurant. Despite the fact of the high quality food and service, the restaurant is with closed curtains (without reason) and with limited space. Tables are very close one with the other and with poor decor, as if this part belongs to another hotel. It's needs immediate renovation.
Review 40：The new fourth floor rooms are very nice some with very nice sea view. High quality of food. Good service generally and generally very friendly owners and staff. The hotel is generally renovated with taste and elegance, inspired of today's fragrance fof minimalistic and modern elements and at the same time looking at the guest's comfort. A hotel that will make its guests happy for sure.
Review 41：Garage was a bit tight and cars had to be moved so we could exit.
Review 42：5 minute walk to the sea. Within walking distance to old town, shopping area and lots of great restaurants. Very modern and well-decorated. Spacious patio provides nice place to have a drink or coffee.
Review 43：Had an amazing time with very friendly and helpful staff. I highly recommend this hotel because the hospitality was wonderful and the free breakfast was great!
Review 44：the 73 steps from sea-level to the entrance But it does get you fit
Review 45：a very good hotel great value for money. Staff very helpfull especially Alberta. We would stay here again and would recommend the hotel to anybody
Review 46：A little close to train tracks, but no big issue. Wish the view had been better.
Review 47：Everything was modern and very clean. Good parking garage. Very friendly staff. Very good breakfast by Italian standards. Really excellent value for money. We even stayed an extra day.
Review 48：Only complaint no tea / coffee facilities in room
Review 49：Accepted pets Staff very helpful even came to meet me as we got lost Nothing was too much trouble
Review 50：When booking the hotel, it was clearly stated that no fee or deposit will be charged. But 7 days before the booking I saw that the hotel charged the first night on my credit card and hasn't informed me about this. I called them and told me that this is their policy, even if this is not stated on the website. I have asked for a room with balcony and a parking space and the hotel said it is ok. A week before going there, we called again and we were told that we won't get a room with balcony even if there is one available and that the parking is full. They didn't want to discuss this and find a solution, just presented us the facts. At the hotel we always had to wait as the people who had full board were the priority. We wanted a bottle of wine from the bar, but we were told that they cannot serve us until all the full board guests drink their coffee. So we waited half an hour to be served even if we were the first to arrive at the bar. At breakfast we couldn't sit where we wanted because a lady working there told us that the tables are reserved and we had to move. In the end, nobody came to sit at those tables which is frustrating. Also, the hotel had some spaces reserved on the beach but each morning we were told that it is full because the guests with full board have priority. To conclude, the services are terrible and you don't expect to be treated like this when you pay quite a high price per night.
Review 51：The location is nice, close to the seaside. The hotel design with a nice sun terrace in front.
Review 52：The railway is a bit too close.
Review 53：The location of both the resort and the hotel is excellent. Good breakfast, polite and helpful staff, private parking. There are several good restaurants nearby.
Review 54：Just great: perfect location (2 minutes walk to the sea, 3 minutes drive to the highway) staff is very friendly, we were positively surprised by coffee/fruits served during check-out when we missed the breakfast. The parking was full, but we found the spot nearby.
Review 55：The staff was the rudest I have met in all my years travelling. We asked for a cup of ice and it was an ardous process for them and they made us feel it. I did not feel at ease coming to the hotel. Would not recommend. Stay in other places.
Review 56：The facilities were clean. The lobby was very well maintained and well designed.
Review 57：Some noise from the railway, thin walls (you can hear what is going on in the next room)
Review 58：Very clean, friendly service providers, good value for the money, higher scale for 3* hotel
Review 59：The hotel is very well situated, a few steps from the beach, nice restaurants in the vicinity. The rooms are extremely clean and spacious. Excellent breakfast. Parking on site. The highway is not far which means that you can easily reach Genova, or Milan or the French border.
Review 60：Wish they had provided a menu and the cost as the waiter only had apiece of paper in his hand with the dishes scribbled on it - not easy tounderstand if Italian is not your first language. Also we had no ideathe cost of the set meal as it wasn't written anywhere. Didn'tlike the fact we had to leave our car keys at reception - we had loadsof valuable stuff in the car we couldn't transfer to our room forthe night.
Review 61：Friendly staff and comfortable room with all necessary amenities. Dinnerwas freshly cooked and delicious my partner said (I was ill so just hadthe pasta) - pasta, salad, grilled fish and dessert. Parking under thehotel - very convenient.
