It was very easy to get to from the train. I was contacted by email with details of how to find the property and door code. A great spot to relax and enjoy the Cinque Terre.

Best three nights in Manarola
We really enjoyed our stay as the location , the modern room/nice hot shower and room size was perfect . We had plenty of room for our suitcases , The location was perfect as it was 10 steps from the train tunnel and no hills to carry your luggage up, few steps up to the room and a quick and easy in and out when you needed something from your room, and a great cafe just outside your door that does a wonderful scrambled egg breakfast with vegetables and really good cappucinos and pastries . We loved Manarola as it’s the best town in Cinque Terre, with Vernazza as #2. Manatika has the nicest shops, locals, beautiful piazza and the best restaurant views in my opinion - Nessun Dorma for their bruschetta and great drinks and Billy’s Trattoria for their wonderful seafood dinners(make reservations here). We even went for massages at Cinque Terre wellness- what a nice treat as our legs had a good workout exploring the tiny streets and villages. Thank you again Francesca for our easy check in and all your great suggestions - next time for sure we will do a boat tour!!

Great location in Manarola
The location is exceptionally convenient...close to the railway station & central to the town. The best restaurant for breakfast in Manarola is next door. The manager, Francesca, is very accommodating and friendly. Our room was very adequate even though it was the smallest in the hotel. It was a little noisy, but not enough to keep us awake. I highly recommend.

Our stay was absolutely amazing. From before the arrival, Francesca emailed us all of the detailed information, once we got off the Manarola train station, it was minutes through the tunnel. The yellow building is directly in front of the tunnel and minutes from the viewing points. We were greeted by Francesca and she couldn't be more friendly and helpful, large clean new room with fully stocked fridge (at a fee) so you never have to go out and look for drinks. Will come back again someday.

Magical Manarola
Lovely boutique style hotel in magical Manarola. We had to ring Francesca to let us know when we would arrive as no 24 hour staff. She gave us excellent directions to this beautiful hotel ,close to the station ( great for dropping off luggage in this very hilly town!) She greeted us and was great with info about the area. Great air con , wifi not bad and coffee/ tea making facilities ,clean and beautiful decor. We were on the first floor and could feel the train rumble a little at night but it wasn’t as disruptive to sleep as we first thought. No view but right in the middle of things, a great stay!

Good location hotel
The location is very good, the room is clean and everything looks new. The lady who manages the hotel is nice but she didn’t show up until the next day when we check out. The doorman’s attitude was terrible. We arrived at the hotel at about 7:30. The doorman asked us the room number and refused to let us in the hotel without it. We told him we only reserved the hotel and did not know the room number and showed him the reservation document, but he insisted on the room number. Fortunately we called the hotel manager and got the room number, or we would have been in trouble, because it was raining and all the commercial buildings were closed. There was a welcome note in the room with my name on it, so we had the reservation. The doorman maybe didn’t know, but he was still very rude.

A good place.
There is no way ANYONE can miss this place when you get off the Train. Literally 16 steps from the Train tunnel.I arrived on a storm day, so no one was there. However, a quick text ( A note was left on by the buzzer on the door ) and a VERY PROMPT call back, I was able to go up to my comfy room. Room was nice. If you get hungry There is a Market next door and a Restaurant next to that. Oh, helpful hint if you find the Cinque Terre Wine to your liking, a Store across the street ( Basqura, I think ) ships across the world. But back to the Hotel, It's a darn good place and the MGR (Georgina ,I think, I am bad at names ) was great !!

Updated hotel in a great location. Great host.
Manarola is one of the smaller towns in the Cinque Terre, but that is the reason to stay here. It is a quaint town, with friendly people and nice cafes and restaurants. As for this hotel. STAY HERE. If you arrive by train, you walk through a tunnel into town. As you exit the tunnel, the hotel is right before you. The hotel has been updated very nicely. You enter an old building which gives you that "old world" charm, but you will have a modern-style room that makes you feel like you are at home. Our room was large, as was the bathroom and it overlooked the main street. It was nice to sit on the window sill in the morning with a coffee and watch as the town awoke. Our Host / Hotel Manager, Simone, was terrific. He was attentive and helpful in every respect. It was nice to occasionally run into him in the town. We will surely stay here again when we return.

Best hotel!
Wonderful stay for our family in the nicest village. This small hotel is simply lovely, so easy to get to and wonderful to come back to after a hot day. Spacious rooms,right in the middle of the village. We were on the 2nd floor, be prepared for stairs. Newly renovated, our room was large enough for 3 people. Francesca gave us so many good tips, restaurants and information on hiking. No breakfast included, but the restaurant downstairs was convenient for coffee and pastry. We were able to have coffee in our room as well. My parents found Manorola the easiest village to navigate, we will come back to this hotel again!

Good value and location in Manarola.
Very good value at this hotel. The only slight downside is the lack of any staff person onsite after 4:30 for check in and the need to make a phone call to arrange entry if you arrive after that. It is also important to know this hotel is in Manarola even though the address includes a reference to Riomaggiore.

Clean and modern rooms right in the village centre
Situated right in the centre of Manarola (not a big place to be fair anyway), Affitacamere San Giorgio has clearly been relatively recently refurbished to a high standard. The outside retains the faded charm of many Italian buildings, but inside is all super clean and modern marble and laminate floorings, and impeccably clean rooms. Reception is not 24 hours, but we arrived after hours and clear instructions were given on how to check in, with Simone helpfully providing his mobile number in case of problems, although there were none. We were given a very informative and useful guide to the town at proper check-in the next day, everyone very friendly and helpful. A few reviews have mentioned that you can get outside noise as it's on the main street but in all honesty Manarola is not a town with a crazy nightlife so you really don't need to worry about this - and if you don't get up at 7am when the bin lorries appear and the church bell starts tolling then you are really missing out on the best time of day in Manarola. All in all, highly recommended, and at a very affordable price too.

A night at Affitacamere.
The room size and cleanliness is superb. Bed is comfort. Location is also good as it is right in front of manarola train station. It is a guest house so it has no lift which we understand, and the host helped us to bring our luggage up to the second floor. He also explained to us how to explore the area. As it is winter period, night time is very very cold, even though we have set the air con to 30C, the wind came in from the window's and door's gap. We used towels to close the gaps, it helped a bit. After a hot shower and wearing few pieces clothes to sleep, it felt a bit better and we managed to sleep well.

Perfect experience!
I arrived in Manarola for a 3 night stay to see the Cinque terra coast. The hotel is in a great spot near the train station and close to resturants/bars and shops. When i arrived, i experienced the best customer service i think i have ever had with any hotel with the hotel manager! He was extremely helpful with telling me where to go to start some hikes and told me places to take the best photos and to get the best food. I was extremely happy and pleased with the experience. 10/10 would stay again

Very clean and modern. Great location in Manarola next door to tasty, well run cafe. Not a great deal of charm, but everything you need to make your stay comfortable. Great to stay here because around 8:00 when the tourists leave, you get a wonderful sense of calm and authenticity

This place is perfectly situated. Got off the train - go thru the tunnel and it is right there on your right a few feet up the hill. The walk up the flight of stairs was the only negative, but we had help getting our bags up - so it wasn't a big deal. The room was spacious, clean and the staff was very helpful. We were able to wash clothes in our room and hang them just outside our window (we brought our own equipment). We had help deciding where to hike and which trails to take considering the hot weather. All in all it was a wonderful stay and made our time in Cinque Terra even better.

Easy to walk, hard to sleep
Simone is an excellent host. Property is clean and safe and so very easy to reach fron the tunnel coming from the train station with no uphill or downhill climb. Room is very basic. Nothing fancy. We very much needed a fan to cool the room. With windows open, it was very difficult to sleep because noise from the street does not stop until after midnite and begins before 6am when the trash collectors start their work. Bed was comfortable. Pillows, not so much.

Had to walk up and down a long steep road with all of our bags. There was no air in the room. There was a rooster that crowed every morning at 5am and the noise outside our window was so loud early every morning with the local merchants getting ready for the day. The staff was very friendly but we chose the wrong village to stay in.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and found the bedroom and bathroom to be spacious, extremely clean and bright. This was a pleasant surprise as many of our rooms had been quite small.

Modern room in Cinque Terre's most romantic town
We loved this hotel and the town of Manarola. The hotel is located just past the train tunnel which was an ideal location for us. There was no lugging baggage up the steep streets. There were great restaurants near by. The room itself was modern, simple and clean. Simone was a great host and answered all our questions. We thought Manarola was a great choice because of the good restaurants and scenery while it didn't seem as busy as some of the other towns.
