Hotel Metropole

This is a great place to stay if you find yourself in the Santa Margherita area. If you're renting a car they have easily accessible parking right by the lobby. There are 3 different buildings and we were in the one furthest away from the lobby. The elevator was teeny tiny so be prepared to make several trips up. We did not opt for the water view room but maybe we should have. The room was small but adequate with a nice bathroom. The real magic here is the spa! Great grotto style warm pool (93f) along with a sauna and a steam room. There is also a cold shower and ice machine in there to. There is a swimming area out in front of the hotel. There is no sandy beach however. Walking around the grounds of the hotel is like being in a magical garden, the landscaping is spectacular. We did not explore this option but apparently there is the option of going to one of the sister resorts beach area out near Portofino. If this is the case then you must go. It looked amazing! The breakfast is fine and the restaurant is also decent. The location is perfect with just a short walk to the downtown area.

This place is absolutely beautiful. It’s pretty easy to get to from the train station and they do have parking if you come by car. We really liked the hotel and its amenities. The breakfast every morning was really good. The grounds, the pool, and the beach areas are all immaculately maintained.

Being in Santa Margherita is so much better than Portofino. Things are still expensive in Santa Margherita, but not as crazy as Portofino. If you feel like you still need to go to Portofino you can easily walk there or take the ferry. After you go you will realize why Santa Margherita is so much better. I would love to come back here someday.

Hotel Metropole is my best hotel where I and my wife stayed. My wife and I travel a lot around the world, but we have never been to a hotel like this. Wonderful.
The hotel has excellent service, breakfast, beautiful rooms. The location of the hotel is in the best place, overlooking the main canal in Venice.
My wife and I will surely come back again.
I recommend this hotel.

The hotel was fantastic and so was the private beach. We arrived at the hotel around 11pm without a reservation, and Angelo attended us. He arranged a great room for us with a good price and convinced us to pay and stay, showed us all the hotel, took our luggage from the car and took it to the room, showed us a map of the whole city and the tours, indicated restaurants and tours around the city, and gave us some cookies because when we arrived everything was already closed. Simply the best service I have ever received in Italy, he is the best, at the end of our stay, Angelo left a farewell letter in our car. The attendant Daniela was also a love with us at meals, always patient and very friendly. These two marked our stay at the hotel, we are very grateful for them. The hotel is also very beautiful and amazing.

Great location and friendly staff. Fantastic housekeeping and super-clean. Breakfast was average and wait staff obsessed with who sat where even though it wasn’t busy. Deck chairs by the water at €20 per person per day extra was odd.

Santa Margherita was a wonderful surprise and the hotel was a big part of why we loved it so much. The private beach, hotel gardens, pool and breakfast terrace were all wonderful. Location to town was good, restaurant was great and staff charming. View from our room’s small balcony was a knock out.

I don’t normally write reviews but wanted to make sure everyone has the chance to experience the beauty of Hotel Metrepole. This hotel is beautifully appointed, the rooms are spacious, the proximity to the station and the wonderful Santa Margherita on your doorstep is what leads you to this hotel on paper. However, the service at this hotel is beyond. Every staff member is friendly and polite, the breakfast buffet is delicious and has a wide variety, and the day spa is the perfect treat to finish off your day. We can’t wait to return ti this hotel in the future!

Love the location and the quaintness of this hotel and the staff is exceptional. We had to leave early to catch a train and after the front desk had been up all night, he enthusiastically got me a cup of coffee before my trip. Would definitely stay here again! The breakfast was delicious also.

We don’t normally leave reviews, but in this case we wanted to emphasize how great of a stay we had. The hotel is both very well situated and beautifully decorated, and the staff provided great care and service. A special shout-out goes to the people caring for guests during breakfast, as they provide exceptionally friendly service which made you feel right at home. We have certainly found our place in Venice, and we have no doubt were we will stay next time we visit.
