Happy face iconLiked: Cleanliness
Sad face IconDisliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Stayed for 3 nights of which 2 days the hotel did not have WiFi service for some technical reasons. This caused multiple problems with some work I had to do. Air conditioner did not work well in our room. First 2 nights did not operate. Very sticky sleep. Last night, suddenly it began working. Considering we were in a suite and the historical prestige of the property, overall, this was a major disappointment. This was our second stay in this hotel and certainly the last!

More a 3 star than 4...
Very good location but old structure with poor maintenance. The room was old and smell old. Took 15 minute to get the hot water in the shower. Air condition without possibility to adjust. Personnel was kind and collaborative. More a 3 star than 4...

The hotel is one of the classic hotels in all of Italy. It combines old-world beauty and history with charm and a true art of service. Sestri is one of the great secrets of Italy and the Villa Balbi is the best hotel in Sestri. Aside from the great location and amenities, the service at the desk is world-class. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
