HOTEL COMMUN SANS AME PARTICULIAIRE

Very pleasant stay at reasonable prices and still in the vicinity of everything Alassio has to offer. Hotels closer to the beach at almost double up, still from this hotel the beach is just a 10 min walk. Helpful staff with a welcoming attitude.

Great hotel, great location. No need for Uber - just take line 2 from airport to medecine stop on the tram. 5 min walk to hotel door. We arrived early ( 11:45am) but we’re able to get into our room- even though it was FULL! You can’t go wrong booking this hotel. You are in the city- so it isn’t “quiet” in the streets at night. But it is a lovely , clean hotel!

Can I start by saying that the resort of Alassio was a great surprise with an excellent beach and plenty of choice in bars and restaurants. Ok, now the positives are covered I'll talk about the rest, as I mentioned in the title , the air con didn't work, complained to reception and it worked for an hour or so and then failed again, my thought is this was selective on the hotel's part. The room we had was typical budget with very little storage space , it's surprising what you can put on 3 hangars. Breakfast was served in the basement area below the reception, it has open doors which lead to an area of vegetation surrounding a pool of water with terrapins in it, and mosquitos, many, many mosquitos, so beware. Coffees are made to order so be prepared to scrum down with the crowds. On a couple of occasions they had run out of bread with no more to replace it. There aren't enough tables and chairs to accommodate everyone when the hotel is busy. I have to give it to the waiter at breakfast who must be one of triplets as his brothers work on the bar and in the restaurant at night. If I'm painting a dark picture of breakfast then please be assured that this is the best meal of the day in this hotel. Evening meals are situated in the building across the road from reception , to start there is a salad bar which is busy and ok I suppose, pasta is the prince and the pauper in every dish, by that I mean it's the main ingredient and of very little taste, as the food is plated you are presented with it and there you go, I've never been able to count chips at a quick glance before. My views just seem to be the same as many others going back years and I find it hard to believe that Shearings haven't acted on them , sometimes an apology isn't enough.

Just returned from Hotel Garden 18th of September 2022 on a Shearings Holiday the food was terrible the rooms very basic with no tea or coffee making facilities the staff where not very nice at times definitely would not recommend this Hotel!
