Hotel Laurin — Hotel in Santa Margherita Ligure

We have just left this hotel after a 14 day holiday which was wonderful.The view over the busy harbour from our 3rd floor balcony was fantastic and so interesting.The balcony was small as was the room but you got used to these.We did look at a larger room with a terrace on the 1st floor but the view was not as good and the extra charge was quite high so decided our high view was better.|The bathroom was a decent size and a good shower.Toiletries provided on arrival but not replenished.Shower gel was replaced.Our air conditioning was not working too good however this was fixed when reported.More hangers supplied for the wardrobe.We put our cases on top of the wardrobe which was dusty.|The breakfast from 7.30 to 10.30 was very good and lots to choose from and sufficient for our needs.The staff in the breakfast room were pleasant and helpful.There is also a larger breakfast room for eg families.|The front desk staff were very helpful at all times eg suggesting where to visit.One lady in particular was fantastic offering where to visit if you have been to the main attraction eg Rapallo funicular.I am sorry but I have forgotten your name.Staff also helpful signing for our case which was lost for 24 hours.|The hotel is in the centre so near the ferry,shops, restaurants,train station and beach etc so never far from anything.|The owners are Paola and Stefano who are charming.They chatted to us frequently asking if we were enjoying ourselves etc and suggesting places of interest.We ordered a bottle of rose wine for my husband's birthday which arrived with a tray of nibbles and on settling the bill we were told this was a gift and no charge.Paola also gave us a lovely gift to take on our next holiday which was very thoughtful.|This is a family business as the owners two daughters also work in the breakfast room and they were lovely.|We had a wonderful holiday and would recommend...

We are a family of four adults from Australia travelling in Europe and have just spent 10 days in the lovely Hotel Laurin. The hotel is in the heart of Santa Margherita with all of the bars, restaurants, cafes and shops right on your door step. It is a 10 minute walk to the train station and across the road from the marina which makes it so easy for day tripping to other towns and the Cinque Terra by train or boat. Portofino is a beautiful one hour walk or 15 minute ferry ride. After a day of sight seeing in the heat it was wonderful to come back and relax at the roof top pool which had plenty of very comfortable sun beds and a fabulous view. The rooms are lovely and spotlessly clean, we had a terrace with a great view across the marina which was perfect for afternoon or after dinner drinks. The hotel is a family owned and run by Stefano and his wife Paola and they are both charming and delightful. All of the staff were friendly and polite and helped us with recommendations for sight seeing and restaurants and helped us with a small medical issue booking us in with an English speaking doctor, and then followed up with us the next day to make sure everything was OK. We would highly recommend the Hotel Laurin if you are looking for lovely accommodation with the added bonus of super friendly service and old...

There are many great things about this hotel, but one for sure is the pool on the rooftop at night. We didn't have weather to swim but it was the most beautiful views out into the harbor, with a huge castle on its side. I loved the terraces also to sit and enjoy some wine. The rooms were large, it could do with a few paintings on the walls like there are all over the hotel. The bed was comfortable and bathroom perfect. They left fresh towels every day. The restaurant was excellent that was attached to the hotel entrance. Great when you were tired after a day of touring and didn't want to go far from your hotel. The staff in the breakfast room were very attentive. The people on the front desk were always there to help with information. I would highly...
