Found this hotel on Tripadvisor and it was a better than expected. Easy to find by car or train with a small parking lot. Best to park car and forget about it. The grounds were beautiful and staff very friendly. We stayed in the annex and loved it. A short walk from the main hotel, the room was basic but... More

I chose this hotel because it was offered with a very good rate on one of the booking websites. Because of a rail strike later in the day, we arrived at this hotel at 7.30am after an easy walk from the station. We were very grateful to be given access to our room straight away. It was in the annex... More

I chose this hotel largely based on the Tripadvisor reviews - as always, Tripadvisor was spot on. I was at first a bit concerned that Santa Margherita was too far a commute from Cinque Terre, and debated staying in one of the five villages. In hindsight, Santa Margherita - and the Metropole specifically - were the perfect base from which... More

We drove from Lake Como to Santa Margerita Ligure and found this hotel beautifully positioned on the sea. We got a sea view room with a large sun deck/ balcony looking right at the ocean. Room was smallish but comfortable and in a separate building to main hotel. best thing was it was only a ten minute walk to town... More

We spent four nights here staring the 18th October. The hotel is in a good position, close to the station and a three minute walk downhill into town(not a steep hill). The reception is light and airy and the hotel has a car park alongside at a cost of €12pd. We left the car in our walks around the town,... More

We were traveling to / from Santa Margherita Ligure by train to visit the Cinque Terre and surrounding Riviera towns, so proximity to the train station was important. The hotel is located literally 2 minutes from the train station (exit the station, walk down the tiny hill on the left and the hotel is across the street). The location is... More

Our family of four stayed here 2 years ago and told us not to miss it- and they were right. We spent a relaxing 7 days here being very well cared for by the excellent staff. The swimming and sun lounge areas are excellent.Make sure you visit the lovely town( a few minutes walk) and we walked to Portofino and... More

We stayed here for 4 nights while vacationing on the Portofino peninsula. It was the middle of September, but still warm enough to enjoy the sunbathing areas and a dip in the ocean. Metropole is a 20 euro cab ride from the Rapallo train station or a 3-minute walk from the Santa Margherita train station. Its proximity to the train... More
