A very unique and charming hotel with a great staff and wonderful views! Only downside is no elevator and if you are on top floor with heavy luggage it’s a little annoying. Other than that love it!

Very nice stay
Very impressive hotel. Just two things to mention: expect noise from the trains (railway tracks nearby). Can’t be improved. Wifi with regular interruptions (hopefully, can be improved)).

Stock standard
It’s an ordinary hotel which was fine to us as we were only spending 1 night. Nothing fancy, nothing bad. The hotel does have a steep driveway but we coped just fine in our rental to get up.

Hotel was decent, what you would expect for the price. I don't recommend bringing a car as the driveway is steep and narrow and the parking is tight. The room was clean and comfortable.

Good hotel!
Pretty hotel, friendly staff, and a good enough location. You have to walk about a kilometer to get to the more touristic area of the city. The hotel is castle, which is interesting. There is a parking lot, although a bit crowded when I stayed.

The Horrible Hotel La Vela
Do not ever contemplate staying at this hotel, despite Santa Margherita Ligure being a lovely place for a quiet break...stay at another hotel. On arrival, my front wheel drive car, despite being capable of the 1,500 miles journey from Scotland, was unable to get up the very steep driveway to the "hotel". No appropriate alternative parking was offered by the receptionist, nor was any assistance to carry luggage up the very steep hill. We were then handed rooms keys and pointed towards our room....that was it. After one night we were summarily moved to a lower grade room, on the excUse that "the pipes weren't working". Our suspicions that the hotel had doubled booked the room were later confirmed when we saw guests coming and going from our previous room. Breakfast was a joke..hardly anything left by 9.30..despite a 10.00 finish....would be great if you are into tinned pineapple....otherwise forget it. The so-called roof-top terrace is a health and safety nightmare even by Italian standards, is filthy, and offers less than pathetic facilities. Finally, those in charge, who we presumed to be the owners, made Fawlty Towers seem like a welcoming 5 star establishment by comparison.....they weren't even funny. In summary...Would recommend a stay in Santa Margherita Ligure...but NEVER EVER at Hotel La Vela.

The view is very good. The breakfast is very good. It is a little bit hard to walk from hotel to train station or to ferry station.
