Hotel Garden Lido in Loano

Stayed for a week while visiting family. Everyone on staff—reception, restaurant, lifeguard—was so charming and kind. The room was a bit cozy but had a lovely view (even saw fireworks from the balcony one night). The hotel’s beach was right across the street and just a few minutes away from the restaurants and shops.

Our short stay was fairly enjoyable at this quiet, kid friendly hotel. Below I'll list the positives and negatives of our stay:

Positives:

- Employees: I can't stress enough how my family and I absolutely loved Elena and Erika from helping us warm our newborns food to a normal conversation. It truly made us feel welcomed and my baby loved them both!
- Location: Very close to the sea as well as the city center being within walking distance to anything to your liking. If not, bikes can be obtained through the hotel.
- Private Pool: We had used this during our stay due to the unpredictable sea. This was perfect for our newborn to introduce water in a calm setting as well there being patches of the pool in the shade to prevent him from getting too much sun.

Negatives:

- Dirty Pool: Unfortunately we ran into the issue with the pool being dirty with dead insects and leaves. After informing the staff, it took them a bit of time to react to the situation resulting in a hotel stayer to grab a nearby bucket to clean it himself. It wasn't until after it was cleaned that someone from the beach came with a net to clean it. Would recommend to have this checked/cleaned each morning.
Room Cleanliness: Though the room was fairly cleaned, my wife and I had found hair ties and razer caps in the bathroom along with a lighter in our room. Would recommend a thorough look in the rooms.
Parking: Having extra costs for the parking while paying on top of the cost of the stay is excessive in my opinion. Perhaps a one time parking fee versus 20 EUR per day.

Overall, I would return without complaint and recommend it to anyone looking to stay in the area.

It's a nice little hotel next to the beach. The front desk guy either doesn't speak or is an idiot, we asked where our room was twice and he said the 4th floor, the 4th floor was the roof. The breakfast was very good, and the beach is literally across the street.

The staff, the restaurant, the food were excellent. Very close to nice shops.

great location, comfortable beds, good breakfast and very friendly staff

Small, but really great! It's nearby the beach and many other bars/restaurants! The rooms aren't that big, but really nice!
