The staff were very friendly and helpful and happy to assist us with our trip to Cinque Terre. The location of the hotel is FAR away from the train station (approximately a 10 Euro cab ride or a long, hot bus ride.) The hotel does offer a shuttle bus to the train station, but you need to book it in... more

Ghironi is a reasonable place to stay. Its rooms are reasonably spacious, they are clean and provide only the bear necessities. For those intending to use its to explore Cinque Terre at a value for money price then this place is worth considering. If your looking for a place to enjoy the hotel comforts, facilities and sourundings then this may... more

Hotel Ghironi is located close to Cinque Terre. The hotel reception is great - as soon as you check in you are provided with a package of information about the area. The hotel provides a bus to drop you off at the boat to get to Cinque Terre but be aware that it books out quite quickly (it is a... more

The staff is very helpful. Valeria gave us detailed explanations about all we needed to do and see in Cinque Terre and Donatella was very helpful in giving us recommendations for restaurants. The hotel lobby looked good and there was free parking all around the building. Breakfast was ok. The room was terrible. Old,dark, dusty furniture. It smelled like a... more

Upon arriving in La Spezia by car, we all new this hotel stay was going to be wonderful. The front desk employees were so very helpful from the moment we walked in the door. Room was spacious and bathroom was the best! Hotel room was very quite. In fact, you did not even know you were in a fully booked... more

If your budget isn't restricted, I would recommend to look for a place in Monterosso. I think that might be the only of the five villages where parking isn't such a big issue. Hotel Ghironi has very... more

We booked 2 nights at this hotel as a base to explore the Cinque Terre. It might have been more romantic to stay in one of the 5 small towns but this was certainly much more affordable for a family travelling in high season through Italy. The location works well for travelers arriving by car as it's right off the... more

We were a little concerned about staying at this hotel after reading some of the reviews, however we can only say how much we enjoyed staying there. Although the hotel was a fair way from the centre of town, there was a regular hotel shuttle bus to the train station, which was only a short walk from the town centre.... more

We stayed there for two nights on our way from Northern Italy to Tuscany by car. The hotel room was very spacious and well furnished (also the bathroom). The breakfast was excellent, with great choice of food. The hotel's shuttle bus (to train station and port) goes only at fixed times in the morning and evening and you have to... more
