This place was lovely to stay for our 3 nights in Santa Margarita. The hotel is in a very handy location well positioned for restaurants and the beach front. The valet parking was very good and reasonable and the hotel staff were all very friendly. Breakfast was excellent with a very good choice and attentive staff (they could, on occasion, be a little quick to take away plates and glasses) but the restaurant was very clean and tidy. The focaccia was delicious! The rooms were nice with nice bed linen and towels, the bathroom was a little on the small side as the door opened into the toilet. All in all a great hotel for exploring Santa Margarita - I would definitely recommend

Hotel's Favorite
We stayed here recently for one night, but wish it had been longer. The staff are polite, courteous and friendly, our room (403) was clean, spacious and fitted out to a high standard, a continental breakfast with wide variety of high quality produce. We would definitely stay again

We just left the hotel. It is beautiful and well located. We booked their new Executive room, and it’s just like the pictures in their web. The only thing not mentioned is that you can’t open the curtains because the neighbor building is not only on top of you but also under repair. I didn’t complain because they didn’t disturb with noise but if you want a view, don’t choose 301. The breakfast was very good and the place nicely decorated. The staff very friendly starting by Robert. I would have give them 5 stars if it wasn’t for the view and the fact that they ruined my daughters surprise birthday breakfast, though I have asked several times for a detail to be arranged, they couldn’t manage to get it done even though I even recall them that morning

The hotel is located fairly close to the railway station, restaurants and the water. We were travelling with our 3 teenage grandchildren, one who was staying at this hotel with us and two who decided to stay at another hotel, (economics). We were pleasantly surprised when we arrived, as we were planning to quickly book in and then accompany the other two to their hotel. However, as we were welcomed and the booking confirmed, the receptionist asked about the other two and offered to arrange for their transfer to their respective hotel by their own hotel vehicle. Very convenient for our group. The two rooms that were assigned were both very comfortable and clean and had their own balcony. NB: (We had stayed at Santa Margherita Ligure before on two previous occasions but the particular hotel we had stayed at was undergoing a refurbishment so we had opted for the Jolanda hotel and were not at all disappointed). As mentioned previously, we were within close walking distance from the railway station, the restaurants and more particularly the water for both swimming and ferry access. The included breakfasts that we had were fresh and plentiful and the attending staff were efficient and courteous. On the day that we left we had arranged for a hotel transfer to the nearby Rapallo station for both our group of three, and, also for the other two grandchildren from their hotel,as we to catch an early train to Rome. The hotel also arranged for a breakfast box "to go" for our particular group. Overall, our experience at Hotel Jolanda was terrific and we would happily stay there again.…

Great location. Good breakfast. Very clean hotel with amenities. Comfortable large room with balcony. Bed was super comfy. We were able to get to Portofino easily by bus. There are many restaurants. Santa Margherita was a good base for exploring the area.

This charming hotel brings you true italien vibe! Situated in a crossroad (a small one, not any trafic) with the local butcher across the street- you can just enjoy feeling a bit luxorious in a small villige in Italy. The breakfast is great, a buffet with everything you need and a staff at you service if you miss something. Praise to the staff member that took us to the train-station when the local taxi-driver was out of reach. I will recomend Jolanda for the excellent service minded staff. The rooms and beds was clean and comfortable. Its a nice stroll down to the beach and the harbour. You have all the charm of this place with the charming main-street (no cars) just around the corner.

Good location, nice rooms, good size, have a in room safe, clean. Lovely breakfast, excellent, friendly staff in the breakfast room. Not too far from the train station, and there are taxis available at the train station. 20 euros to take you “around the corner” to the hotel. Flat rate. Might be worth it if you have heavy bags. Easy to walk everywhere. Front desk were okay, don’t “fawn all over you” but help if you ask. It is a noisy hotel…you can hear the motorbikes, and traffic all night long. So if that is something that bothers you this is not the hotel for you.

We booked for a 10 night stay at the Hotel Jolanda in a balcony or terrace comfort room on an Halfboard basis flying into Pisa Airport, just 2 hours 5 minutes from Manchester Airport. On arrival we were driven by a transfer car which in peak traffic took just about the same time as the plane did. We arrived at the Hotel and thankfully my heavy bag was carried up the steps of the Hotel by a gentleman outside, not sure if he was connected to the Hotel but thankful for his assistance. We booked in and placed in room 205 on the second floor, we were given one key card but told another was available if needed. Their is a lift by the reception which states one person only at a time but it managed my wife and I during our stay, though the second floor was only one flight of stairs up and in UK terms was actually on the first floor. The room wasn't massive but enough for a king size bed and 2 chairs with space around. There was wasted space in the entrance to the room which had no use or purpose. The large fitted wardrobe housed a pin operated safe and a fridge with mini bar. There was just a single sheet on the bed but there was a duvet at the top of the wardrobe. The lights in the room were operated by the key card (remember to pull it out when you go out or you will have to ask for the second one as we had to) which gave an initial welcome light but then fades out so put the main light on as you come in the room. There was little space for cases and only one case support by the bathroom, how anyone with a number of cases go on I don't know. I managed thankfully to get my large case on the wardrobe shelf. 2 small complimentary bottles of water (1 still, 1 sparkling) were given at the start of our stay but not replaced thereafter unlike our last Hotel in Malta where it was replaced daily. Just nearby the Hotel there are 2 supermarkets but only sparkling available in small bottles so we bought a pack of large for our stay. The bed was comfortable but one of the pillows was like a bag of cement. There was 2 French doors out to the balcony but nothing scenic to sit and gaze over with shops opposite, some in a broken down state to let and a large car repair garage. The road outside was quite clearly on a main one way route with lots of traffic at all hours with lots of mopeds zipping about into the very early hours. We couldn't understand where they were going at such an early hour. The noise was reduced with the UPVC French doors shut and there was a shutter on both doors which came down fully and using the air conditioning to cool the room. The bathroom had a shower cubicle only, no bath with a toilet and b-day with sink. As is the norm in Italian bathrooms electrics are full on and there was even an hair dryer wired in over the sink. The dining facilities are located on the lower floor (0) or by going out at Reception and to your right. Breakfast is served from 7:30 am though the area is available from 7:15 am if you want to take the Cinque Terre sail at 8:15 am. There is a large choice of items and hot items of scrambled eggs and bacon if required. All sorts of pastries available but only Corn Flakes as a cereal. Tea, coffee and other types of coffees available by request. The boiled egg machine was nigh on useless as there wasn't any given boiling point to time it from - either hard or very soft, I couldn't work it out. The staff were very friendly and attentive to their fellow Italians and at times like bees round a honey pot to them but extremely little conversation to ourselves and another English couple staying and clearly there was a language barrier there with the young lady serving on just blanking us and giving sour looking faces, we found the same with the reception with no welcome or good day. We didn't find it a friendly and welcoming Hotel. The evening meal was served in the il Basilico Ristorante within the Hotel grounds and a choice of 3 starters and 3 mains chosen by the Chef which we found over the nights to be heavily fish oriented. For traditional Italian dining this is the place but the food served didn't suit our palates as we have received at many other Hotel's stayed at in Italy, "another man's meat is another man's poision" The food served just wasn't to our liking but the vegetable soup served one night was very good. The desserts were limited and repeated each night. All in all with the noisy location, albeit a central location for the main bay area and station, the food not so to our liking and the unwelcoming staff we wouldn't think of returning here again.…

Staff do their part to make you feel comfortable, despite that the hotel is of a poor standard and through previous trips in a poor Congo I have lived better to be able to describe poor standards. If you want air conditioning, you have to pay 10 € extra when other hotels see it as a standard when you pay in these price levels for a hotel room, worn furniture and spartan furnishings, which means that you do not want to spend an extra night. I have a very hard time recommending this hotel which is far from what is written and suggested on their website.

Stayed 3 nights, an impressive 3 star hotel next to the sea front. Elegant, friendly, clean, with satisfying breakfast yet a bit overpriced. We were 3 friends, booked for a Superior Double Room + 1 extra bed, found a quite small room with an extra couch but no extra bedclothes so we contacted with the reception who changed us room next morning (we arrived at midnight). Felt thankful
