Walk to the hotel from the train station, as it is on a street that is closed off to cars. Also, let the hotel know what time you will be arriving because staff is only there in the morning.
Staff is great and friendly. The washroom is clean and big. The hotel is located on a street with a lot of shops and restaurants, so Saturday afternoon can be very noisy. However, it is very quiet at night because there is little night life. Everyone goes to Cinque Terre at night. We went to Riomaggiore at night and had a great time with the locals and tourists.
There are many places to eat close to the hotel, and they are cheaper then any place in Cinque Terre. Shopping is ok.
