What guests think

Across the reviews, Hotel Continental stands out for its stunning seaside setting, walkable location near the train station, and memorable views, with many guests praising the private beach facilities and the hotel's well-kept terraced grounds.

Rooms are generally comfortable, some with large terraces and panoramic sea views, though a few felt small or dated and one guest noted uncomfortable beds and weak Wi-Fi. Facilities like the spa and beach club are appreciated, but several reviews mention extra charges for sunbeds, the spa pool, and pricey parking. Service is widely praised, though a few guests reported issues around breakfast service, check-in timing, or inflexible policies. Expect a scenic, comfortable stay with upscale amenities and some add-on costs.

vue magnifique, hôtel superbe mais dommage de devoir payer les transats même pour 1 h. La piscine du Spa est très belle mais également payante l’avantage c’est qu’on n’est seul. Chambre très petite mais propre. Personnel agréable sauf au petit déjeuner où vous avez l’impression de les déranger.

Oltre ogni aspettativa, la nostra stanza che dava sul giardino aveva una meravigliosa vista sul mare e Santa Margherita, l’hotel immerso nel verde ci ha esclusi dai rumori e dalla folla, una bellissima spiaggia privata e ristoranti dove abbiamo potuto godere di una splendida colazione con vista , a pranzo invece abbiamo preferito il bar in spiaggia. Personale cordiale e gentile. Spero di tornare presto.

Had a good stay at a place which delivered what you'd expect. Hotel is 50's-chiq in this typical Italy riviera style, so not modern but also not worn-down. Clean and well taken-care of. Very service minded staff although not so smiley as they were last time (which we like when they are). These were more serious but very service-minded. Breakfast setting amazing with the view but breakfast content a bit of a disappointment. We had a better one at the place we stay at the nights before at less than half the price. No egg station, few bread options and not a lot of fresh fruit (just melon, apple etc.). View and location are the big pluses and price + the fact parking is not included in such a price is just a mistake. (Who arrives to Santa Margherita without a car? Then include parking in the price).

Property is old and need of an upgrade. The room was very small, toilet and phone did not work, water pressure was awful, and apparently the spa is undergoing renovations, something that was not disclosed. The balcony is big and and the view amazing but overall I would say there are better places to stay in Santa Margherita

I had a fantastic stay at Hotel Continental even during the offseason! Our room had panoramic ocean views. The property was well-maintained, peaceful, and had all the amenities needed for a comfortable and relaxing getaway. While it was a quieter time of year, I actually appreciated the tranquility and had a great experience exploring the area without the usual crowds. The staff was incredibly accommodating, ensuring everything was perfect from check-in to check-out. If you’re looking for a serene retreat, this place is a hidden gem no matter the season. I highly recommend it and would love to return!

The rooms are spacious, clean and comfortable. I cannot say enough positive things about this property! Highly recommend it!

Horrible customer service. This was our sixth time staying at the hotel within 2 years and it was my birthday. The hotel did not provide any gift upon my arrival. We had asked for a late checkout at 1pm instead of 11am three times before arrival but they did not respond. There was a big thunderstorm the day before our arrival and our flight was delayed. I had asked for a refund but they waited unusually long, almost a day, to get back to me with a No. On the checkout day, they called our room 3 times to strongly remind us to checkout. This is the experience that we received after paying €450 per night. One of their receptionists was also extremely rude to me on the phone and when I went for breakfast, he didn’t greet good morning like how he did with other guests. The room was nice but basic. They don’t have hair shampoo and conditioner (only combined hair and body gel). The private beach was nice but Wi-Fi throughout the entire hotel was very weak. Well sadly not be coming back.
