Property was right in the centre of Riomaggiore which was very convenient. We arrived before our check in time and the staff allowed us to check in early which was greatly appreciated.

My favorite
Was probably my best experiance of stay in the hotel ever in that price category! It's also best situated in Riomaggiore – don't need to climb the mountain. Super clean and comfortable room, fresh renovated, very good beds, good aircondition. For sure I'll want to come back here! 5 diamonds!

Very unpleaant staff. Noisy and uncomfortable.
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.

Good enough
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 Expedia 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.

Convenient but noisy.
The room was nice but dumping of the empty bottles from the bar across the way was excessive. The noise went on for hours.

First I want to be clear that my wife and I enjoyed our time at La Zorza. The staff was friendly and helpful. The room, albeit quirky, was clean and comfortable. However this is not a luxury hotel, nor does it pretend to be. You're going to walk up brick stairs to your room. It's going to be a bit of a maze to get there, but look at the pictures of Riomaggiore this should not be a surprise. The hotel is very convenient to the train station, this is important if you plan on exploring the other villages in Cinque Terre. There is a complementary breakfast buffet.

Our stay at La Zorza
We enjoyed our stay at La Zorza. Admittedly, it offers basic accommodations, and nothing fancy. There are a lot of stairs and no elevators, but in Riomaggiore that is not unusual, and the staff hauled our bags to the room for us. The towels are the thin cottonweave variety but they do the job - and the hotel brought us extras so we could take them to the beach. The air conditioning worked well, the room was quiet and we slept well. The hotel also offered a couple of great discounts for food and drink and breakfast was good and plentiful. Best of all, the hotel is well located near the bottom of the long steep hill that is the main street in Riomaggiore so our walk from the train station was manageable even for a pair in our sixties.

Location was great. Loved their staff. The places lokes remodeled but a few thing were falling apart, like if they were not installed correctly. Overall it was very nice, big spacious room. The breakfast was perfect. The only bad thing was that the wifi did not work in our room, only in the restaurant.
