Hotel Celeste in Sestri Levante

Very disappointing - would not recommend
Don’t trust the price on booking, the hotel is full of add ons!! On first impressions the staff were pleasant but the decor in the reception was a little worn and dated. We were suggested to go to the restaurant to have lunch whilst we waited for our room to be ready, this was the first real disappointment; we paid 16 Euros for a salad which was pretty much leaves, and a few bits of salmon, which tasted a little off. Secondly we read the hotel had a private beach so afterwards headed there only to find out that not only was it an extra charge but that it was “fully booked” despite there being about 50 beds free, the hotel rent out the beds to locals on a monthly basis and therefore there are none available to hotel guests. Final extra charge was the baby cot we asked for, my husband booked a room for 3 people and paid extra for it only for us to be charged 20 Euros for a baby cot. We’ve travelled around Italy and no other hotel has charged us for a cot, something we didn’t expect especially when we’d paid extra for our baby already. This hotel is a rip off, there were so many extras on arrival the price rocketed. Oh and if we wanted to park a car it’s another 20 euros.

In fact I’d you want to breathe that’s extra. No kettle or facilities in the room
