ホテル ラ ゾルザ(Hotel la Zorza)

Well located, clean and nice but no elevator, narrow stairs, no wi-fi even if they wrote they have it!

Upon arrival, the staffs attitude was exceptionally unpleasant. I encountered a woman smoking in the alleyway. Despite the presence of two young men behind the bar, I had to carry my bags up four steep flights of stairs, which ended up causing strain on my back. The bed was extremely uncomfortable – it consisted of two singles pushed together but constantly separated. Moreover, the bar downstairs was excessively loud, and the noise from above was disruptive. When I voiced my concerns, two individuals from the bar, (dumb and dumber) arrived at my door, behaving as if they were bouncers ready for a confrontation. Regrettably, no action was taken to address the noise issue, and even the double-glazed windows in the stairwell were left open. The final straw was my attempt to have breakfast at the bar on Sunday morning. I was initially told it was closed, only for it to be reopened to locals just five minutes later. The overall experience was further marred by the unpleasant demeanor of the staff.

Extremely old and not renovated hotel. Great location but not such a nice hotel over all

We stayed here for 6 nights in July. Pros: 1. Location is perfect, only 50 meters from bottom of Main Street which means no hard walk with cases uphill! 2 mins walk from train station. 2. Clean and large room with private bathroom and decent storage 3. We had room 103 which is only room with balcony. Great views up the street and a great place to people watch 4. Shower was great! Cons: 1. The bar downstairs creates a fair bit of noise up to 1am on some nights, wasn’t too bad but something to consider. If you stayed on second floor and up it would probably be quiet enough. 2. Double bed was two singles together and the left side sloped inwards!

Pros: Not too far from the train station, easyto find the bar where we checked in (tho I sure needed to be led up the maze of stairs to the room!), good price. Cons: Noisy. Thin walls let us hear neighbors way too clearly. Sound proofing on windows was good, but not enough to completely shut out the rowdy patrons at the bar downstairs. And we never got the AC to turn on, tho it was cool enough by the evening that we got by without it.

No wifi. They even leave a paper in your room saying you can't complain about the wifi because it is not included in the price of your room, yet on ******* it clearly says free wifi, not free wifi that does not work and is not included. They texted me all the final day saying I had not checked out yet and my stuff was still in my room and they were going to charge me for another day, even though I had checked out at 9:00 am and had already checked into my next hotel by the time they started texting me. Location is nice. Be ready to climb some stairs though.

The property was wonderful. It was 5 minutes walking from the train station which was super convenient. The staff were nice. Everything was wonderful besides the water pressure. The water would sometimes stop in the shower and you would have to cut it on and off to get the water back flowing but other than that it was great.

The location of this property is wonderful. Very centrally located. It is very clean with daily room attention. Our challenge was with the water and internet. There is a paper in the room saying internet wasn’t guaranteed yet the sign out front says they offer internet. It did not work at all. The shower, when there was hot water, would lose water pressure halfway through the shower even if you were fast. These two issues really did make the stay at La Zorza challenging. There are also a lot of stairs to get to the room. However, if you are familiar with Riomaggiore, this fact shouldn’t surprise you.

No wifi in the rooms.
