We stayed for a week in October 2011 and found this hotel to be excellent value. Great location, excellent security, helpful staff and best of all, the breakfasts were the best we had in 6 weeks of hotel stays in Italy.

There was a little noise from the restaurant below but not intrusive. Very restful and clean.

Good, free wifi access.

Would stay again.

We had booked our room at Hotel Garden nearly a year ahead, and reconfirmed our booking by email 2 weeks before arrival. So we were very surprised and disappointed to be told when we arrived that the hotel was overbooked. Fearing the worst, we expected to get booted to another hotel, or worse yet, be put up in some tiny broom closet.

You can imagine our surprise when we were led (apologetically by the manager) to the 7-room apartment (!!) I jokingly told him I wish we were staying longer than one night -- it was fantastic and needless to say, immense for the 2 of us. We had a view of the water from our balcony, even a fully stocked kitchen, 2 bathrooms, 3 bedrooms and a conference room.

The rooms were spotless, the hotel is quiet, the breakfast buffet great, and the manager was so helpful with directions to the train station, the market, etc. and speaks perfect English.

Stayed for four nights in this excellent hotel. Room was large with balcony proving ocean and hill views. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good quality and sufficient. Levanto is a lovely town proving a great base for exploring Cinque Terre and the region.

While recently traveling Italy, I stayed at the Hotel Garden in Levanto. It was very comfortable, clean, quiet and the staff were friendly and helpful. I wholeheartedly recommend you stay here. The only problem I encountered is that the free parking is about 1 mile from where the hotel is, so if you don't mind the walk, it's still a good deal. For two nights the rate was 220 Euros which is $300.67 in USD. Credit cards are accepted.
