Amenities were good. Great breakfast. Noisy next to train track but we knew about the location.
One star because during check in, the staff tried to trick us into paying extra 25euro to upgrade to a different room in order to get 2 bath towels, even though we booked a room for 2 adults. We ended up getting 2 towels anyways but it was very dishonest of them to say we had to upgrade in order to get two towels we should have gotten instead of one.

What a fantastic 4 day stay. I’ve been to Vernazza many times, however this was my best accommodation. Great service in all accounts, staff were amazing, nothing was too much trouble. Great roof top terrace and breakfast was so yummy. I will definitely stay there again.

The service was good. Only complaints is that it does not have an elevator if you have lots of luggage and the room including the bathroom is very small.

Sweet, Compact and close to everything!
Close to the train station and the Main Street of Vernazza. Our hosts were exceptional as they organized their time to carry our luggage back and forth to the train. The elevator at the station is out and the many deep stone steps made this all the more helpful. The room is tiny, as is the bathroom. Hooks to hang things would be helpful. The bed is futon style near the floor. Breakfast was filling and lovely— lots of pastry.

My friend and I loved our stay at Pensione Sorriso. The staff are friendly and helpful, our room and bathroom were clean, and we were happy with the in-room AC unit which worked very well. The breakfast buffet in the morning was one of our favorite perks, the food and cappuccinos were delicious and the outdoor dining area is very peaceful. The location is unbeatable, a quick walk up the hill from the Vernazza train stop. It was a perfect home base for exploring Cinque Terre, we were able to visit all 5 towns during our 2.5 days and Vernazza ended up being one of our favorites.

We enjoyed our stay at the Pensione Sorriso. The hotel is clean and modern for Italian standards. The bedroom and bathroom are pretty small but we managed just fine. The staff were great. Our reservation included breakfast which had several options to choose from.
The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is because there are lots of stairs to climb just to access the lobby from the street. This was not a problem for us, but if you have any type of mobility issues it may be extremely difficult to access the lobby and your room. On the plus side, the location is just steps away from the train station.

Evelyn, Esther, and Jenny are all lovely. Great coffee every day and lovely assortment of breakfast items. Just a pleasure. 4 days was too short. Hike from Vernazza is very difficult but worth the effort. Don’t go if there is a chance of rain. Very slippery! Pam and Rod. Whistler Canada

Lovely small hotel in Vernazza
Lovely hotel in Vernazza close to the railroad station and only minutes away from the main business area with lots of restaurants and bars. Our double bed room was tight but it had a private bathroom and a view up the hills above the town. Breakfasts were included and provided a good variety of continental foods. Evelyn, the manager, was very friendly and personal and everyone else on the staff whom we encountered was great. Everyone spoke English, too.

Sorriso in Vernazza
Highly recommend Pensione Sorriso for a stay in Vernazza. Evelyn was a wonderful host and went beyond expectations in helping us enjoy our stay. The hotel has a bright breakfast area/lobby and a nice patio/garden to enjoy. We stayed in a room with a private bath and balcony. Although no sea view from the rooms, there is one from the patio and the sea is only a two or three minute walk from the hotel.
