We chose this hotel because of its very good location. Portofino is only 5-6 km away and the train station where you get the train to the Cinque Terre region is just 5 minutes away walking. Besides that, it is very close to the port and all the restaurants and bars are 5-10 minutes away walking. The rooms were very... more

Stayed in this hotel for 4 nights and can say it was the best 3 star hotel I have ever stayed in Italy. Elegant, friendly and an excellent buffet breakfast. Not to be missed. O'Brien Family, Dublin July 2009 more

I stayed in the Hotel Jolanda for 6 nights and I cannot recommend the hotel hightly enough. As other reviewers have said the decor is a mix of Italian and French styles which blend together to form a charming and inviting ambience.

Nicely decorated venue, perhaps a tad old-fashioned, but service was good , and the young receptionist was very helpful providing local information from the internet for us.

First of all, Santa Margherita Ligure is a charming town with excellent local transportation and even accessible by direct train from Zurich! It is not, according to Rick Steves, a "secondary town." The semi-tropical vegetation will lure you and the sea front promenade will allow you to take evening strolls with the locals. From the train station, after a difficult... more

Enjoyed the hotel and area very much. Terrific location - you can walk to everything. Very nice and spacious room which was very clean and comfortable (superior double). Friendly staff with good breakfast. Only complaint is street noise as the hotel is on a corner and we had a corner room. I would ask for a room away from the... more

We stayed here for 3 nights in September 2008 while we were on our honeymoon. We arrived in Santa Margherita by train and could walk to the hotel in about 5 minutes. There are directions at the train station and also along the street so the hotel is very easy to find. Staff were friendly at checkout and even upgraded... more
