We were lucky enough to spend one night at Eight after failing to book hotel Splendido which was far to expensive. We called and were offered an immediate upgrade as well as complimentary Prosecco and delicious canapés . The car was parked adjacent to the hotel, securely and the staff could not have been kinder or more hospitable. An enchanted... More

After staying at the Hotel Continental in Santa Margherita, my client had to move me to Eight Hotel which turned out to be a much better hotel than Hotel Continental. The manager of Eight Hotel Portofino, Christian Del Gatto checked me in. He offered me a drink and then took me and my bag to my room personally. Along the... More

The room was nice but very small with a couch and chair between the bed and TV. Not much storage space for clothes etc. No views as far as I could tell, but very quiet at night, and right next to the bus stop. The staff was very helpful and polite. Breakfast was very nice with a formal setting. Room... More

Beautiful if a little cold hotel. Modern and elegant. Lovely room with patio and lounge chairs and gorgeous breakfast area. Best was right in town, walking at night and early in the morning to feel like you "live" here..... Expensive, but got best rate and an upgrade through Small Luxury Hotels. Staff competent but less than warm/friendly except for the... More

The hotel is really nice and the staff was really helpful and friendly. The rooms are quite expensive but you are in Portofino and there are only 2 hotels walking distance from the harbour so I guess you have to pay for it ! But you also pay 14 euros for a beer so.....:) The room was made twice a... More

This was written clearly on our printed itinerary by our travel agent and advertised on this hotels website. However I could... More

Spent one night in Portofino, out of a 10 day break in Lombardy. We were really looking forward to it as the hotel photos looked great and the reviews looks good. It is labelled as 'small luxury hotel of the world'. I paid the going rate( a very high rate!) for a standard room ..thinking that it was going to... More

Perfectly appointed small hotel, in a quiet corner right off the little strip in lovely Portofino. Freshly decorated room of adequate size, minimal staff, esp. housekeeping, helpful receptionist, basic breakfast included in the garden (best croissants and pastries, but fe even a slice of cheese of meat was extra). Would definitely stay there again, esp. compared to the loud location... More

We stayed at Eight Hotel (previously called San Giorgio Hotel) for two nights in August 2010. It was our first time in Portofino and we loved both the place and the hotel. Our room was small with no drawers and very few hangers so it was difficult to unpack and we had to pile our cases up in the room... More
