What guests think

Across many reviews, Best Western Regina Elena is praised for its seaside, walkable location near Santa Margherita and Portofino, consistently friendly staff, and enjoyable rooftop pool with views, while feedback varies on rooms and breakfast quality and value.

The private beach is popular but extra fees and occasional management issues frustrate some; parts of the property feel dated and the pool can feel small. Guests frequently praise cleanliness, while noise from thin walls, smaller rooms, and hard pillows or mattresses are recurring drawbacks. Expect a scenic, service-led stay with amenities, but check room type details and beach charges.

Rooftop pool was soo great with an amazing view. The only negative was when going to the hotel managed beach for a swim we were badly treated by the beach police or staff. When my wife explained she was going out in the sea to swim a couple km and will not use the hotel umbrellas or beach beds “no you cannot” the staff said. “Yes I can” was the reply. There was unnecessary tension and it was badly managed.

Room was clean and well maintained. Cleaning staff were exceptional & room was nice (walls thin so was noisy when neighbours were about). Location was about 800m from a selection of restaurants. Breakfast had a good selection. Pool was small & the blue paint was coming off the pool. Plenty of pool beds & towels which was a delight. Shower for pool was inadequate & water was flowing into the toilet floor. Lots of beds for beach with a charge of €50 for 2 beds.

The staff were all friendly and helpful and the rooms clean but the website pictures did look a lot better than the reality. The room was more 2-3 star, the breakfast was limited and the pool was very small. We were also really disappointed to be asked for €50 per person per day to go onto the private beach. Consequently it was empty almost all the time. The hotel needs a refurbishment and to be properly rated as a 3 star.

We had an excellent stay at Regina Elena. We booked a room with a terrace looking out to the sea which was better than expected. The terrace was huge and had a table and chairs, as well as lounge chairs - perfect for a morning coffee or evening wine! The bed was very comfortable, the room had a well-stocked mini fridge with reasonable prices and the bathroom was spacious and had a great shower. Breakfast every morning was excellent. It had so many choices that I enjoyed something different each morning. The roof top pool and beach were both very nice and the hotel is conveniently located near the bus stop and along the walking path to Portofino. We would definitely stay here again!

The hotel was average. On a bright note, it was in a great area where you are super close to Portofino and other fun locations. (BUT you have to walk about 25 minutes to get to the train station) Our view was nice as well. But, a few hard things to deal with were the noise from the hotel itself, the doors are not sound proof at all and you can hear everything. Also, we had no WiFi ever!! It kept connecting and disconnecting… we talked to the staff and they were not helpful at all, gaslighting us. (Also the view from the pictures on Expedia are not real )

Really had a wonderful stay, if only the weather was as bright as the staff. Cannot fault the hotel and so glad we chose it for our Portofino trip.

Posizione molto bella. La mia camera offriva una vista laterale sui tetti della sala colazione sottostante. L’insonorizzazione, per un hotel a 4 stelle, è decisamente insufficiente. La superficie della stanza è piuttosto ridotta: per una notte può andare bene, ma soggiornare più a lungo risulterebbe poco confortevole. Buona la possibilità di parcheggio. Personale gentile e disponibile.

The staff were incredibly kind. Breakfast was wonderful! What I wish Expedia would have stated (that would have changed my mind and booked elsewhere) is that to use their private beach, they charge an additional 50 euros at check in. Also, I booked with Expedia a room with a patio/balcony and got neither at checkin. I didn’t know what to do so just accepted my dark room, knowing I’d be spending most of my time outdoors.
