4/10 Fair

The Vis a Vis has amazing views. Go to the bar for a drink. It’s not worth the price to stay there. It bills itself as a cruise ship on land. That’s true—the rooms are as tiny as cabins on a boat. And at least in my bathroom, there was mildew growing on the ceiling. Also, the toilet seat was misaligned, so you weren’t fully on the toilet when you sat on it. I expect more from a 4 star hotel. Additionally it’s really loud. Paper thin walls. Not great for light sleepers. And the spa is a complete joke. The facilities aren’t nice. I paid for a 90 minute sports massage. the masseuse seemed utterly clueless as to what she was doing. She spent about 5 minutes on my back, and then texted on her phone for a long time while mindlessly rubbing my left foot with her left hand. She also spent a weird amount of time rubbing my face. I didn’t sign up for a facial.

We stayed one night in the Family Room. We drove from Nice to Pisa, and then back to the Liguria area for sightseeing. Hotel Vis a Vis is a beautiful location in a friendly and beautiful town. We didn’t get to explore the little town of Sestri Levante because we got to the hotel too late but we enjoyed time at the pool, poolside drinks, and an amazing dinner at the Olimpio restaurant within the hotel. It overlooks the town and has the best view. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. Paula walked us around the premises and every member of staff from the bar, pool and restaurant were kind and accommodating. My children are asking when we can come again! We would definitely book here again and plan to stay longer.

10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful hotel with the most breathtaking views in the area. We stayed in the classic suite for 2 nights, which although outdated and on the small side was comfortable and suffice for a short stay. The staff and the atmosphere on the rooftop bar has a very relaxed vibe and the sunset from there is memorable. Sadly we found the restaurant on the 4th floor on the stiff side and also dated with average cuisine. We never noticed the other restaurant just below the pool area until the day we were departing, it looked more relaxed and updated. Unfortunately we did not get to use the pool but it looked amazing. All in all we really enjoyed our stay and will definitely recommend Hotel Vis á Vis.
