From the Reviews: The hotel premises are immaculate, breakfast at Alassio was perfect and just as great as the day before (or even better), the room and bathroom were perfectly clean, but the most amazing thing about the hotel is its staff!!! Made us feel at home every morning, afternoon, and night! Staff at the reception helped us with taxis, reservations and anything else we needed with a smile! Staff at the restaurant were always happy to greet and serve us! Honestly, couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. We will definitely be back at The Hoxton!
