Hotel Continental  

The location is top and could be a 5-star hotel.

The rooms, bed and feeling of luxury is not there!

Location. View from Room. Location to downtown area. Helpful staff. Location to train.

I was surprised when we got to hotel, as I actually wasn't expecting much from the reviews I had read about hotel previously. I knew it would be great location and just a good hotel, but when we got there, wow! My husband was ecstatic and thought it unbelievably romantic. I was soaking it all in, because you never really know what a hotel is like until you get there in person. I instantly felt relaxed. To top it off, we received the top floor room that included a small balcony facing towards the sea, and a large terrace that also faced the sea, and continued with a 270 degree view of everything...Amazing !! We will never forget the time we spent there, and will return again one day.

Set on a beautiful coastline with lovely bathing area and gardens. Good gym and wellness centre. Bedrooms are a little 'old world' which has a certain charm. Friendly staff. Great location. Lots to do in the surrounding area.

Outstanding view from our balcony, overlooking the harbor. The staff was very helpful. The room was comfortable. The breakfast seemed typical for a european hotel of this level. The price seemed reasonable considering the busy summer season and the location of this property. Location is also good for exploring the Cinque terre region.

Excellent location overlooking the harbour, this includes breakfast and evening meal veranda. Quite and relaxing hotel, with courteous staff.

Buffet breakfast was poor for the class of hotel.

Location and view

The location and view are amazing. There are few better vistas in the world.

The room was fine but a bit outdated. The view can make up for quite a bit, but a room refresh with added eminities would be great.

Probably the best location in the area with spectacular views and lovely facilities. Our room was beautiful with a large comfortable terrace and all the facilities were modern and in good condition. The staff could not have been nicer or more attentive. This means I would be delighted to return and would recommend it to friends.

I could not afford to come in high season as the prices are too high.

Location. Short walk to Santa Margherita. Air conditioning.

We could not lock the room door from the outside. Staff told us to just close it shut and it is safe enough. Mini bar refrigerator was not cold at all.

Staff were excellent, very helpful and polite. The location of the hotel is brilliant on the cliff overlooking the beautiful gardens of hotel, the harbour and town. Close to train station and town. First three nights I was on the road side of the hotel, which can be a little noisy with the traffic. But thanks to a train strike, I had to stay another night but staff upgraded me to a balcony on seaside, for same price. I should of done this from day one, was wonderful. Both rooms I stayed in were well appointed and comfortable, but would of been nice to have tea and coffee in room.

This grand dame of the Liguria coast is in the process of renovation. Its renovated rooms are displayed on the Booking site, but the rate advertised is for the old, not renovated rooms. Fortunately I was given an upgrade without asking and stayed in a nice room with balcony on the seaside. The hotel has free access to its private rocks on the sea - not what I would call a beach - and it's good swimming even end september in the sea. Views on the marina and a nice garden supplement it all. The restaurant offers classic italian fare and its service is jovial and fast. The massage facilities offer also an excellent shiatsu - not announced as such. Parking is with a professional service agent, who orchestrates the va-et-vient efficiently.

Eggs for breakfast are available only at extra cost of over 10 euro - a bit steep. The hotel should complete its renovation asap.

I did like the view fron my hotel room.

I didn't like the poor quality of the staff especially at the reception or during the breakfast. The man at the reception was almost rude, didn't give any advices or tips about what was nice to discover in the region. A real disappointment for that type of Hotel and considering the price of the room (€ 270 the night).
