Metropole - Santa Margherita Ligure

Very helpful friendly staff from the point we checked in. Lovely room (408) in the separate block overlooking the sea. Went to sleep with the sound of the water. Will definitely come back.

My wife is an international house and hotel colour consultant and decorator. Her comment regarding the outside terrace dining area is that the apricot tablecloths clashed badly with the beautiful purple display of bourganvillia. She suggests white tableclothes would be much more tasteful and elegant.

I found the hotel and its staff excellent. They were very considerate and tried to assist wherever possible. The room was lovely with a beautiful view over the water and the gardens were lush and extremely well maintained

I loved the location,gently elevated by the sea & lovely terrace to sunbathe and wonderful views of the bay. The pool was beautiful & I liked its slight seclusion betwen hotel and sea. The gardens were immaculate and wonderful to stroll through down to the sea. Hotel is opposite end of Santa Margherita to Marina, but its a five minute stroll into the town with its selection of shops, bars and restaurants. Delightful setting.

a very comfortable and attractive hotel in nice grounds.The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. The buffet breakfast was quite good but we didn't eat there. in the evening so can't comment on the standard of meals. The location is very convenient as it is so near the station which makes the transfer from Genoa easy. Santa Margherita itself is very pretty and has some good restaurants. There are ferries and buses to the nearby resorts as well as trains for further afield.

Along with I'm sure other hotels in the area there was no lifeguard for the pool so it wasn't possible to use it at the time of year we went. I imagine like everywhere else in the area the season doesn't really seem to get going til July. A pity as it was hot enough when we were there.

The best hotel we stayed at during our 10 day trip. Breakfast was great. The room was large and modern overlooking the garden. Very quiet. Staff were excellent and they offered free internet. Highly recommended.

No negatives. Everything was great!

The Hotel Metropole was a welcomed surprise for the money we paid. The room was beautiful with an amazing view of the sea. The staff was exceptionally helpful - gave us train schedules, were always available, even gave us posters when we asked for extra postcards. The breakfast was delicious and the setting of the hotel was breathtaking! Would definitely stay here again!

Hotel staff and services were excellent. Comfortable rooms in a big hotel ideal for family holidays by the sea. 10 minutes walking to the center of S. Angelica where you can find many shops, restaurants and cafes and enjoy a nice walk by the sea. Only 5klm from the famous Portofino ( in the summer its better to take the local bus and avoid driving).

There are so many things we liked about Metropole. Upon check in we were upgraded to a junior suite with 2 bdrm/1bath, we were 3 people and that was really nice. We had a lovely sea view overlooking wisteria in full bloom. They made every step easy for us, with our car (parking cost extra), restaurant recommendations, directions. A wonderful buffet breakfast was included. The hotel has extensive patios, walkways, and lounge areas right down to the water. Above all, the service and staff are excellent.

Bar prices are a little steep.

The staff at Reception were extremely friendly and helpful. They went out of their way to assist us with directions, bus schedules, etc. The restaurant serves superb food and the staff were top notch, especially Denis, who was very proffesional and adept; a real pleasure to talk to. Our brief time there was memorable, and we can't wait to visit again. Thanks!

Booking our room only two nights before we arrived, we were extremely surprised and satisfied when we were led to our room overlooking the ocean in as prime a location as we could have imagined. The room was very nice and just what we needed and the hotel itself had beautiful gardens and a great private beach. Also, the complimentary breakfast was wonderful and on top of that, the staff was fantastic. Everyone was extremely helpful and excited to have us. Not only was the hotel perfect for what it offered but it also had a prime location--2 minutes from the train station and a 5 minute walk to town. In a word-PERFECT. I would highly highly recommend this hotel!

Wonderful location with a very attentive and informative staff. The beach area and gardens throughout the property are all beautiful. Easy walk to town, less than five minutes, and then there is shopping, restaurants and cafe's everywhere.

Location, beach and pool were lovely.

It was very quite and very relaxing

(1) Anna who was at the front desk spoke good English and was very helpful. (2) The old-world elevator in the hotel. (3) Good breakfast spread.

(1) Euro 10 for overnight parking at the hotel (2) Air-conditioner that is switched off in Autumn, which means you need to open the windows and be exposed to the street noise.

lovely hotel, good location,,nice dining room
