After visiting Camogli and Hotel Casmona five times we finally managed to book the most requested room: nr 301. With a fantastic large private terrace and an amazing view this room is stunning. The service is ok and the ambiance is very familiar. The hotel is not big and luxurious but extremely charming and the best location you can ask for. The beds could be softer.
We will definitely return again.

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
