Hotel Cavour

We had a lovely stay at the hotel. The staff was very friendly and the location is perfect. Very close to restaurants as well as places if interest. Room was quiet and cozy.

Only lift, is non-functioning on arrival and with no less than 60 plus stairs to my horrid room! No air-conditional in this stairway ; …and is stifling hot! Today 30 ++ degrees C ) whilst negotiating these stairs (after spinal injury!!) Filthiest carpet on stairway I have ever seen! ( I am an extremely experienced world traveller too.) Filthy bathroom with mould between tiles and around shower door frame. The metal shower rail looks like it has not been cleaned for years! Basin tap is so old it is disgusting! Hairdryer is putrid; covered in dirty finger prints. Should be removed and destroyed! The entire bathroom and bedroom need a “deep” clean! Bed was not properly presented on arrival. I found the bed “doona” 😳 in the wardrobe. It is an uncovered, wispy piece of wadding that would float away in a very light breeze! UNBELIEVABLE!!! The soap!! Oh its a joke! 🤣! Half the size of THE smallest hotel soap, I have ever seen! Probably enough to wash your hands twice! Inadequate power-points for mobile phone charger etc. PowerPoints look like they have not been cleaned for years! Inadequate lighting! (Likely deliberate so you cannot see the deep filth.) Superficial cleaning here only! BEWARE!!! An absolute “rip off!” Breakfast should be fun! As you need to book the exact time slot…to suit the hotel. I have never stayed in a hotel where a regimented time-slot must be chosen! ( Are you evicted if you stay 5 mins beyond your slot!? Nothing here is done for guest-comfort! Every penny-pinching measure possible seems to be employed to to ensure the guests receive very very little in terms of comfort and hygiene! Oh the air-con in the room actually works quite well ! !! Though with all the other cleaning issues, I strongly suspect, the air-con has never been serviced and is likely pumping out, foul air! A hotel -room that feels disgusting to stay in; “creepy” to dare touch anything! DO NOT even consider staying here…unless you are a masochist! Disgraceful owner to operate such a low-class “hotel.” The foyer looks good! That’s where it all ends! A “smoke & mirrors” business! I highly doubt the authenticity of the “favourable” reviews! Oh…& it’s 0103hrs here now and banging and noise from whatever is above my room! Unacceptable!!!

Short stay at Hotel Cavour - fabulous location and super friendly staff who couldn’t have been more helpful. Great spacious family room - would stay again

This hotel was loud! Our room was right over a cafe that went on after midnight. Trash truck woke us up at 4 am and the noise from the room above us went on for quite a while into the night. It is an old hotel and was frankly more roomy than a lot of hotels in Italy, but way too much noise to keep us up.

The staff is friendly and helpful. The room is clean and comfortable. The hotel is centrally located within minutes walk from the beach, ferry and train station. It is easy to explore nearby Portofino and Cinque terre. The promenade and surrounding alleys have many restaurants.

The hotel is very central therefore everything is within a foot walk reach. Stuff is very friendly, the room is clean just a little small but still big enough for our stay. Breakfast includes next to the standard ingredients also fresh fruits, coffee and croissant. We’d like to come back.

We stayed 3 nights. The hotel is in a perfect location, walking distance to the train, bus station, restaurants and to the sea. A close bus ride to Santa Margherita and Portofino. The room was modern and very clean. Excellent breakfast. A big thank you to Lucrezia, Giovanni and Margherita for their exceptional service. Would highly recommend this Hotel.
