The breakfast, for Italian conditions, was quite varied and satisfactory. The town is intimate, with easy access to various local attractions

what was not right was that the hotel demanded payment from its own guests (50 euros per day) for using the hotel beach. It's "amazing" how greedy someone can be...

This review is not for the Regina Elena Dépendance but for the main hotel Best Western Regina Elena where we stayed for 4 days. I had originally booked the Dépendance not being aware that they were 2 separate buildings. We wanted a sea view with a terrace and this was not available in The Dépendance part. On arrival went to the main reception and Francesca the lady in charge was very helpful and switched us to a fabulous room with views and balcony of course with an extra to pay but we were happy to so. Francesca helped us also for our visit to Cinque Terre which was fabulous, finally we took a train to Monterosso and then did the villages by boat. The best Western provides private parking which is a real bonus, it is close to shops, restaurants and public transport , so great location. Room was spacious with comfortable bedding and a very good bathroom. Breakfast was very copious with an amazing choice. All the staff was courteous and helpful. Would very happily come back and thank you to you all for a great stay.

Everything was good but somehow the cost of 50 Euros per day for 2 sun beds by the beach was a little high so we did use them. Wish we had known this in advance.

The staff were really helpful and friendly. The location was lovely, overlooking the bay and with mountains in the distance. The hotel is right on the bus route with a stop outside that takes you into Portofino.

The lack of plugs and the location of them in the room made it difficult to charge our devices. The bar was a bit strange and the barman was banging around. The parking wasn't cheap but it is what it is.

Breakfast was great! Location was great! Location was clean. Loved that it had a rooftop to hang out at. Although we did not order drinks to the rooftop, that was a nice option to have.

We were placed in the ANNEX part of the hotel. It was an older building off to the side of the main hotel with not much space in the room. Would have been nice to know in advance. The reception to the TV was bad the first night. Although the mini-fridge did not work when we first arrived, staff tried to address this shortly after we complained.

Fantastic Location, rooms were super clean and the staff were very friendly welcoming and helpful. Great stay over all.

The rooms are compact which is fine however I would try to figure out how to put a small set of drawers to put ones clothes in.. if one is staying longer. Also a proper foldable luggage rack, some bottles of water would have been nice.. even if you have to buy them.

A unbelievably perfect stay - such an incredible location nudged between downtown Sta Margherita & Portofino not to mention it legit is on the beach front with PRIVATE HOTEL ONLY ACCESS!!! Countless amenities that were so amazing: decedent breakfast, breathtaking room views, rooftop pool & spa, parking options, in room mini bars, and so so much more. EXCELLENT service: we booked last minute on a whim after deciding that we hadn’t had enough time in town & got the last room. As soon as we arrived, we were greeted and treated so wonderfully it felt like staying at the Four Seasons. 10/10 recommend - don’t waste another moment & book. Then get ready to be blown away!!

From start to finish we were welcomed. The buffet breakfast was excellent and Michela was a delight. The pool was a welcoming and clean. Access to beach and facilities was fantastic. Found whole experience totally relaxing and would happily recommend. 😊

The property was very well located in the middle of Santa Margherita and only a 15 minute boat ride to portofino. The hotel had an amazing pool with sun beds and the rooms were lovely with everything you needed. There was always someone at front desk offering help if needed.

The only complaint would be that the bar in the hotel was not open for our stay and you had to go down to the beach bar to get drinks.

I stayed at Regina Elena with my grandmother, and staff was so helpful and kind to support my grandmother. The facility is very close to the beach and there's a lift from the hotel to the beach which is veri comfortable for who has mobility problems like my grandmother . Staff in the restaurant and at the bar are all very professional and kind. Always happy to smile and stop for a little chat with you. I lost my sunny and staff looked for them all around the beach and brought back to me. It's has been an amazing stay at regina Elena. I will definitely come back. Good job guys

The staff was extremely helpful and friendly. Our room was comfortable with a nice view. We booked on value so we were not expecting a luxury property. The hotel was what we were expecting in a great location.
