We had superior room with a lovely balcony. All rooms face the sea anyway. Generously sized room was light, modern and very clean. Super bathroom too. Very helpful and friendly reception staff and just a moment's walk to shops and restaurants as well as ferry to Portofino. No need to spend a penny more for first class accommodation in what... more

Heard alot of nice things about Santa Margherita, even though previous trips to the Liguria area never impressed, we decided to go for it nevertheless. We chose this hotel being a frequent users of hotels and often Best Western hotels due to corporate relation with the chain. Now first things first...if you like Italy for its simple but colourful beauty,... more

We booked our trip to Italy first stop being Monterosso al Mare and then staying in self catering further south. I have to say I splashed out on the hotel for a treat for 3 days as I really wanted a balcony so that myself and my husband could sit outside in the evening while my son slept. They did... more

Perfect spot on the marina with great views from our huge balcony. Room was a little worn and needed an update but was quiet, clean, large and comfortable. Free wifi in the business area. Great breakfast included. more

This hotel is a great find, the location could not be better. The room was average but comfortable with a great view of the harbor. We loved spending the hot afternoon by the pool. The hotel restaurant delivers food and drinks to the pool for a small fee. We also were able to score one of the hotel's secure parking... more

Stayed for 2 nights in May 2009. Excellent position, right opposite the harbour. You can catch a boat here to Portofino, 15 minutes. Staff were very friendly. Only ate breakfast there and that was very good. Rooms were spacious and very clean. I would certainly stay there again. more

We enjoyed the location. Basic no frill room with fabulous view. Enrico and Tiziana at the front desk were fabulous...great advice and suggestions. Breakfast was included, and the food was just okay. We parked our car in the parking garage with own space and door (16 euros night, and a walk from the hotel) with our luggage for one extra... more

We absolutely loved this hotel. We were in Italy for the Genoa Boat Show and wanted to stay in a smaller town to relax for a few days after our arrival. Arriving at the Santa Margherita train station, the bus that passes the hotel was sitting there, so we took it for 1 Euro - a taxi would have been... more

What a shining beacon amongst some very ordinary hotels in this area. We had a family room for 4 with an open balcony with magnificent views of the harbour. A great place to watch the sun set & sip a glass of wine. The only unpleasant part of out stay was the APPALLING service at the restaurant attached to the... more
