Overall great! Central location, very nice and clean, super courteous and helpful staff. Easy to walk to the train station and to the waterfront/pier. Great breakfast. Our room was relatively small but reasonable (it was comfortable since we only had two carry-ons but may be more difficult if you have larger luggage).

Everyone was amazing, the only downside is that there are a lot of LEDs in the rooms so the room is quite lit when you want to sleep. The worst being the fire alarm right above the bed which has a green LED which blinks every 5 seconds.

Great choice for a short stay in SML. Ideally located for train station snd harbour.

Attentive and helpful staff throughout my stay. Lovely reception, bar and breakfast area.

Great buffet breakfast with large selection.

Unfortunately I didn't get much sleep! The rooms are tightly packed together and the walls are very thin! You can hear every noise from adjacent tooms - conversations, toilets, movement, doors etc. So not good for a light sleeper.⁹

We had a perfect stay in Tigullio. We walked from the train station to the hotel and then from the hotel to the town/shopping. Everything was close and we were able to walk to get espressos every morning. Perfect location and staff were so welcoming and helped us out with amenities (iron & ironing boards) as we had a wedding nearby. Would 100% recommend to friends and stay here again!

Absolutely EXCELLENT hotel. Highly recommended!
1. The location was perfect. Only a 5 minute easy walk to the main train station, and right in the heart of the town centre with all restaurants and sights directly below the hotel. Couldn’t ask for a better location!
2. My Executive room was very impressive. It was beautiful and spacious, and so was the luxurious washroom.
3. All the staff were lovely! Even the cleaning ladies were extremely friendly and helpful and kind. I had the pleasure of mostly dealing with Chris at the front desk and Abdul in the breakfast room. Everyone was wonderful with me.
4. The breakfast was excellent - full and complete and fresh. There were so many options that you will surely find something you like, and more. I will miss Abdul and his delicious cappuccinos!

I wouldn’t hesitate to book this modern, lovely hotel - it is a gem! It was a perfect stay.

The room was very comfortable, everything was good, very clean, in the evening we wanted to have some wine before going to bed and the night guy in the front desk (sorry can't remember his name) was really friendly and recommended a local white wine that was great. Breakfast was plenty of taste food and breads. We definitely will stay again when visiting the area. Highly recommend.

Excellent Property with Courteous Staff

Check-in, room cleaning, and breakfast buffet staff all are friendly and helpful. We have travelled throughout Italy more times than I can remember, the 4-day stay at this lovely property is most enjoyable. A short walk to town center and ferry terminal and bus stop (to Portofino). Could not enjoy full breakfast buffet last day due to early train to Milano, manager packed a large bag of food items for us. Comfortable bed with high quality linen. Daily replacement of thick soft towels. Toiletries included conditioner that is rare in Italy and many EU countries. No idea how hotel industry awards star rating, this property definitely provides 5-star service and comfort although it is rated 3-star.

Breakfast service was fantastic. Lots of options for any palate and diet. Wonderful selection of local favorites.

Hotel location is perfect- we walked to Portofino, train stations, and all over Santa Margherita.

The beds were comfortable and the location was close to the beach and train station. The hot tub was never made available to our family. They charge after 6pm fir the hot tub and the other days they said it was closed due to weather even though it was over 70 degrees. The front desk staff were always on cell phones and too busy to answer questions. The breakfast was good and the wait staff in the restaurant were attentive. The hotel was not very clean with several dirty areas on the bathroom at check in. Luggage hold service was available.

Good hotel, could be great with some impovements

The hotel is very centrally located and close to shopping area and restaurants. The service was excellent and the breakfast offered wide variety of options - all very tasty.
The room was also very clean and daily maid service was impeccable. The rooftop solarium and jacuzzi also offered bar service from 18:00 to 20:00 with some great cocktails and good choice of nibbles accompanying the drinks. There is also a downstairs bar with an open air terrace, where you can take breakfast in the morning as well.
What bothered us was the noise. The hotel is on a busy street and although we had a room towards the back, there was still a lot of noise throughout the day and night that interrupted our sleep. A large contributor to that was the lack of double-glazing on the windows, which would have solved that problem.
The mattress on the bed was also very hard for my liking, but that is a personal preference for some.

Breakfast was excellent with good choices.
