Nice hotel. VERY close to train station (50 yards). No elevator in hotel, internet spotty on 3rd floor. Breakfast typical continental however they will prepare an excellent omelet for you if you ask. Staff, especially Evelina, were super friendly and helpful. Definitely would stay here again.

Pensione Sorriso was a great place to stay during our trip to Cinque Terre! First, it was easy to get to from the train station, a short walk and without a terrible amount of steps (although you do have to climb steps to enter the hotel and then again to your room - no elevator! ) The room was very small, which I believe is typical in these small towns, just a bed and a night table and small wall closet. We didn't mind as we were not spending a lot of time in the room. The bathroom was small as well, but adequate. We did have a few minor problems with the room, but nothing that would stop us from staying here again. The breakfast was very good, although we did not realize until the last day that we could order eggs for breakfast and that the water in the cooler was free! We also had dinner there which was very nice - and so convenient! And the woman that was working everyday was so nice, so helpful and so friendly - which really helped make it such a pleasant stay! I would highly recommend considering a stay at Pensione Sorriso!

We have been to many hotels, but have never been so welcomed! We got a tour of the beautiful property, the room and genuinely felt they were excited to have us. We took advantage of the lovely outdoor seating areas, soaking in the ambience. The room was clean & comfortable, and met our needs. Breakfast was amazing! The best scrambled egss I have ever had. Would absolutely stay there again and recommend to others.

We had a lovely stay at the pensione. It’s in a great spot in Vernazza just off of all the tourist traffic and very close to the train station. The whole staff is a small group and very pleasant. They helped us make reservations for dinner and absolutely did not steer us wrong both in terms of restaurant, location and quality of meal. They were very helpful in accommodating the entire trip. The rooms are basic, but just what you need as a homebase to ramble around Cinque Terre. Vernazza clears of most of the tourists at night, so you can unwind and enjoy what you had imagined these little coastal towns to be
