The best position in town overlooking the seaside promenade. All rooms enjoy a wonderful sea facing view and are clean, tidy and functional with the hotel breakfast room overlooking a spectacular view of this beautiful fishing village. Camogli is my favourite place in all of Italy and the Casmona is the perfect place to stay.

While the hotel is ideally situated on the coast, the room was disgusting and in need of repair. Wallpaper was curling off of the walls and the thin carpet was apart at the seams. The bathroom had black streaks in it and there was an overall smell to the room that was not pleasant.
We had a big room facing the coast but it was mostly disgusting.
When I went to the front desk the staff was rude and not helpful as if I was a bother. This was one of the better hotels in the city.When we went out to investigate the town, we picked up some of the locals who were looking for the opportunity to relieve us of our personal items. I would recommend skipping this city all together and stay in Santa Margherita which is about 5 miles away and on the coast. That city is lovely with many options for an overnight stay.

A very nice hotel in the lovely cinque terre. Ideally situated in front of the sea and above the promenade. Atmosphere is joyful, rooms seem to have never been revamped since the 60s, which give this place a cheesy taste that I personally look for. And Camogli is just an amazing, yet overlooked, destination in that area. 1st class

We love this jappy hotel. We stayed for five nights last year and booked for eight nights this year.
The people who run it and work there are charming, hospitable and accommodating, and the service is fantastic. They remember if you prefer coffee or tea in the morning, they do the room earlier or later as it suits you, they rush to make the best cocktail known to man as soon as you hint that you want an aperitivo... Everyone remembered us from last year, which suggests that they like working there.
Put all of this in a spectacular setting - right on the seafront promenade in a stunning coastal village - and you have a first-class holiday. The breathtaking view of Mediterranean blue from the breakfast room will help you forget whatever you're getting away from.
Is the Casmona perfect? Every room is different, with individual plus and minus points. Some are very small, some are amazingly large. We like 101 very much - it has no windows but it has a fantastic terrace right on the sea, shady in the morning and hot in the afternoon.
The Casmona is not the ultimate in luxury - it has only three stars (but they shine very brightly). Foam pillows, ageing TVs with dodgy reception, internet access off the lobby (if you absolutely need it). They don't turn down the beds or leave chocolates on you pillow. And we wouldn't change a thing about the place.
We are already checking our dates for next year.
This is a gem of a hotel.
