Hotels near Collegiata di San Giovanni Battista

Good view. Trilingual staff. Lots of choice for breakfast. Totally clean and hot water 24 hours a day.Two minutes from the marina or a beach

I walked from the train to the hotel and Luca greeted me from behind the desk. He was wonderful and speaks English, my native tongue extremely well. The hotel was quaint, extremely clean and comfortable. Luca carried my bags to my room for me, opened the door the wth the key for me and walked me into my room making sure everything was satisfactory. My room was wonderful with an outside balcony that over looked the old part of the village and the marina. From the Luca, to his mother, his aunt, and his grandparents, I felt like I was at home. They helped me around the city and neighboring communities, informing me where to go and where to stay away from. For my convience, he emailed me the train and bus schedule to my phone, in case i needed it. He directed us to the most amazing restaurant and tried to solve problems we had, even when he was not involved. Just amazing people! I could not ask for better service or people to stay at their charming hotel. My friends who were staying at differnent hotels, wanted to move over to the Hotel Ariston because they were so impressed with the hotel, location and mostly, the amazing staff and owners. Wonderful breakfast buffet, great view, outstanding location! The ONLY place I would stay in Imperia!! A word to the wise, remember you are in Italy, enjoy the cultural experience. Expect a bidet, lower bed, etc. Have a cappuccino, embrace the people and you will have an amazing time!

Stayed after peak season, and the desk clerk upgraded our standard room to sea view room with balcony for small extra fee. Car parking provided in property's lot served by lift to all floors. Overall excellent value with desk staff English competent and very helpful. Imperia has an autostrade exit near the hotel. BTW, diesel fuel prices are about 30 cents/liter less on the French side of the border, so plan accordingly before you fill up tank.

Unexpected high level of everything in this hotel - I felt like in 5 star but not in posh and sophisticated atmosphere , but like at home. May be the o lt thing I would change - try some different variants of the breakfast - but it's not crucial . All the rest - staff, room, cleanness, comfort etc. - was very good. The location is not in the center of Diano Marina, but to me this is plus of this hotel.

Room was not as on picture. Doors with weak lock not possible to lock from outside. Bath of "yellow" color. Difficult to sleep on springs bed. Free parking possible only on the full street (diffcult). The payed parking (10Eur for night) having very difficult entry (be careful if you dont want to damage your car) You have to ask for everything what you payed for..(example A/C Controller or Wifi Password) The hotel says "we have a private beach". But it is not like that. The woman on the beach asked us to leave and come back with valid ticket. (The price of the ticket 15 Eur (40+Eur during season) is not anyhow discounted and the beach is not theirs) but nevertheless you will probably choose better and cheaper beach..Public beach is 2 km from hotel. The hotel has a private swimming pool which is not used by anyone. Just try to guess why (picture)?
