Best Western Regina Elena

This hotel has an excellent location , it is near all Santa Margherita Main restaurants and shops its takes 5 to 10 minutes walk to get to the center of santa margherita with many restaurants and shops alongs the way not to mention the great landscape and it takes a 5 minutes bus ride to get to portofino (the bus stop is literally in front of the hotel) and around 10 mins to get to the train station. They have a private beach and the staff is very helpful and kind plus they have a private pool and jacuzzi on the roof. Breakfast is rly good especially the lemon cake do not hesitate to book your room and enjoy Santa Margherita and portofino less

The preservation of this historic hotel. The rooms are very well maintained although everything was old. The staff were very friendly & helpful. The fact being an old 4 Star Hotel does not make it cheap in terms of its daily rate. It’s expensive, but it’s location makes it worth staying here. The only negative thing I would say is free access to its private beach is totally free, but you have to pay €20 per sun bed which I frankly think should be free. I have stayed at Miami Beach hotels many many times and had never had to pay for sun beds as it is inclusive with your room rate. less

Loved this area! Santa Margherita is an adorable town. This hotel is beautifully situated on the sea and a short walk (or use rental bikes they have) from town. Food and local wine was delicious. Good buffet for breakfast, great seaside area with umbrellas and loungers available to rent with dock to swim from. The sea was crystal clear and beautiful! The room we had was nice, not large, but well appointed and functional. Safe is small, so probably wouldn't fit just lap tops. less

This hotel has the distinct advantage of being a historic gem of a property in an amazing location.However it pained me to see the underutilized strengths of the property. The bar and lounging areas are beautiful and historic yet extremely under utilized while the main checkin area is small, crowded and gives a poor first impression. The rooms are very small but the bathrooms are as tiny as cruise ship bathrooms. While I understand the historic nature of the property much can be done to make the space it better utilized and updated. The pool was a huge disappointment - outdated in both appearance and construction. The gym should either be updated ( the four pieces of equipment in the tiny basement room) or eliminated- I visit and use every hotel gym and had not seen an exercise bike like that since 1966 or so. This hotel is a Beautiful location and lovely bones but truly needs a reset. less
