The hotel is conveniently located in Santa Margherita. Front desk staff was very pleasant and helpful (assisted us with trekking directions to the Abbey, walking path to Portofino, etc...)
Our room was large and had a nice (albeit narrow) balcony. Not much of a view - but it was still nice to have outdoor space - - we loved being able to sleep with the windows open. The bed was comfortable and at night, the room was very quiet. Most importantly, the bathroom was clean and well-stocked with soaps and shampoo.
Breakfast buffet was good and we enjoyed eating outdoors on the patio. As seems to be customary in Italy, the wait staff was not always pleasant. The offerings and quality of food were very good. We also had supper one evening at the hotel. The bartender was very nice and we enjoyed several evenings sipping drinks in the lobby after long walks to San Fruttuoso, Portofino, and in and around Cinque Terre.
As mentioned in other reviews, the hotel is showing some age and wear - but nothing major and everything in our room was in working order.
