Hotel la Zorza

Loved my stay in Riomaggiore, and la Zorza was one of my favourite rooms as well. The morning staff were absolute sweethearts, and the nighttime bar-tender was a very cute and sweet. It also had great nightlife! The view from my room was beautiful as well. Would highly recommend, and I’m sad my stay is over. -Megan

Staff impolite

Started great by ended bad It started fine but ended bad. We had to get the keys to the hotel room in the bar downstairs. The last day we left to go for a walk around 10 and got back 12:55. Our door was not locked and there had been cleaning. One of our iPhone chargers had been taken. This made us very uncomfortable staying at the hotel and we actually left at 4 in the morning after because of this. The hotel staff called the cleaning lady and had us talk to her. This made us uncomfortable also because that should not be our job. It could have been anyone who’d been into our room so we didn’t want to accuse her of anything. But it was still not okay that our door was unlocked. This is how a hotel makes you feel unsafe. We talked to the staff again after the cleaning lady and they didn’t do anything after this. The hotel room was pretty big which was nice but not super clean. The ceiling in the bathroom had brown spots and looked like mold. We had booked a king size bed but it was two single beds that kept moving from each other and it was hard as a rock. The bar downstairs was really really noisy and we couldn’t sleep until 1-2 at night. We know people are on vacation and should enjoy themselves but it was unbearable. So if you don’t like a lot of noise then don’t stay here. The location was perfect if you want to be in the middle of Riomaggiore. So that was nice.

My favorite Was probably my best experiance of stay in the hotel ever in that price category! It's also best situated in Riomaggiore – don't need to climb the mountain. Super clean and comfortable room, fresh renovated, very good beds, good aircondition. For sure I'll want to come back here! 5 diamonds!

Good enough Pros: Not too far from the train station, easyto find the bar where we checked in (tho I sure needed to be led up the maze of stairs to the room!), good price. Cons: Noisy. Thin walls let us hear neighbors way too clearly. Sound proofing on windows was good, but not enough to completely shut out the rowdy patrons at the bar downstairs. And we never got the AC to turn on, tho it was cool enough by the evening that we got by without it.

Very unpleaant staff. Noisy and uncomfortable. Upon arrival, the staffs attitude was exceptionally unpleasant. I encountered a woman smoking in the alleyway. Despite the presence of two young men behind the bar, I had to carry my bags up four steep flights of stairs, which ended up causing strain on my back. The bed was extremely uncomfortable – it consisted of two singles pushed together but constantly separated. Moreover, the bar downstairs was excessively loud, and the noise from above was disruptive. When I voiced my concerns, two individuals from the bar, (dumb and dumber) arrived at my door, behaving as if they were bouncers ready for a confrontation. Regrettably, no action was taken to address the noise issue, and even the double-glazed windows in the stairwell were left open. The final straw was my attempt to have breakfast at the bar on Sunday morning. I was initially told it was closed, only for it to be reopened to locals just five minutes later. The overall experience was further marred by the unpleasant demeanor of the staff.
