I have stayed at Hotel Laurin a few times. I love the location. You can take a bus, train, or boat to any excursion from this centrally located hotel. Your room looks out to harbor...beautiful. The staff are friendly and helpful. The breakfast was good and adequate. The last two times I stayed here, we had a terrace. This time... More

Santa Margherita is a beautiful city and the Hotel Laurin is a great place to enjoy it from. In many ways the hotel is a typical Beat Western - clean, comfortable and well-run but nothing fancy. The decor is simple but attractive, the beds adequate but very firm and the breakfast choices limited but fresh and served in a bright,... More

The hotel is too basic for a four star hotel. The service.....some staff were grumpy.....the bar service was very poor. Breakfasts......could be so much better. There is so much fabulous fruit in the town.....not on offer at breakfast. Such a shame. With almost everything in this region...far too expensive. A small beer 4.5 euros......that's about £8.00 a pint. Hmmmmm, too... More

We arrived in Sant Margherita Ligure which can only described as a very nice setting. The hotel, Laurin is under the Best Western umbrella and not in my opinion Best Western standard. Although we had a balcony room over looking the port there were a number of points to mention. The were no facilities except a bar which on one... More

Our travel agent booked us in and my husband and I were thrilled when we heard it was a 4 star hotel in a great position in Santa Margherita. Our room was very basic, although it had a study alcove plus lovely balcony overlooking the seafront. The room was dark with cardboard walls. The bathroom had been renovated and was... More

Great location - beds and room just ok - price is high. I guess you are near Portofino. Attached restaurant is great. Dinner a must. Walking distance to train - not simple walk but ok. Less than 1/2 mile. Taxis from train was $20 for that 1 min ride. Walked to train when we left. Hotel is few miles from... More

Using our Italy pass we travelled from Venice to Milan to Genoa; we then took a local train to San Margherita. The hotel is 72 steps downhill and a few streets from the train station but with luggage we chose to take a taxi - about 15 Euros. the hotel is of the grand style with portico entrance and huge...

We stayed here for two nights in October 2012. It was the hotel picked by the couple who's wedding we were attending. I was expecting the typical low budget Best Western hotels that we have in the states but I was pleasantly surprised at how nice it was. The room certainly wasn't anything fancy at all, but it was clean,... More

This hotel was a pleasant surprise. We went in the off-season so obtained a great rate with the best view from our room of our entire Italy trip (apparently all rooms have view of the sea). Staff was friendly, helpful, and attentive to our needs. Spacious rooms, clean, and non-smoking. Walked to Portofino (about an hour) and took the bus... More
