    Accomodation was fine, but this area of Italy didnt impress us at all.

    Regarding hotel and staff - we didnt find anything negative. BUT - this area of Italy is really not for us. Everything is cramped and feels a bit dirty and old, people dont stick to traffic rules and smoke everywhere. And the biggest downside - paid beaches. You want to be on a beach and enjoy the sea? You have to pay - and not a little - 30-40 euro / umbrella with 2 seats. Its absolutely crazy and we never saw it in Spain (Costa del Sol, Costa Daurada) or Cote d Azur. Thats the reason why we will never return to this part of Italy, sorry :( Also these paid beaches with their cabins completely blocked view of beach and sea when walking on the promenade. Yes there are "free public beaches" - like 4 meters wide strip between two paid areas in between fence. Felt like prison. Ratio of paid and unpaid strips was like 95% vs 5%

    Very friendly and helpful hotel staff, decent breakfast - but slightly "different" to what we are used to from our trips to Spain , France and Germany. Rooms were OK for the stay, but You can feel their age already. But to give a perspective - it might be caused by us being influenced by some higher end hotels in Spain.

    Coffee at breakfast was bad. Food was good.

    Nice room Location OK Quiet (though rooms on sea side being closer to railway lines might not be as quiet).

    Really minor and it didn’t affect our stay at all but our aircon didn’t work. I didn’t inform reception though so didn’t really give them chance to sort it which I’m sure they would have if they could.

    A very clean and pleasant hotel located very close to the train station which made for a great base to visit the many delights of the Italian Riviera. Our stay at the Coccodrillo was made fabulous by the very attentive reception team, who were friendly and could not do enough for us. Thank you to Sylvia and Giulio for checking us in early and out late and helping with speaking Italian and making nice cappuccinos :-)

    Swimming pool is a joke! Closed most of the time. Seems to be only open when you would go to the beach! Closed until 10.30am, then closed at lunchtime , opens mid afternoon and closes early evening. It looks nice 👍. Esp in marketing pictures, and you pay a premium for hotel with a pool, pity you can not use it.

    Clean rooms and super friendly staff.in fact staff really great! Breakfast is good.

    It looks like a weird location when you approach from the west, feels like a very residential quarter. Luckily there are plenty of signs on the road. It actually makes more sense if you get there from the town centre or the train station. It's not in the centre of town but that's actually really nice, quiet.

    The pool was really fun, not good for lengths but for messing around in or mini laps. The room wasn't large but that's not an issue if you're out and about. The decor felt like it was a Hercule Poirot TV show set. I would say the atmosphere was languid. Staff fine, nice etc. Wifi good. I had an excellent time there actually and felt very safe.
