Let me start with telling the hidden story. The hotel building is as nice as the website shows but the picture does not show the main road (Rapallo to Portofino) running in front of the building. Fortunately the thick window panes blocked out the noise from our standard suite living room (need to get deluxe suite for a balcony). On... more

We booked this hotel as part of a package with first choice as we observed booking directly with any hotel in Santa Margherita Ligure came with a very high price tag. We were due to attend a wedding and needed somewhere local to stay which is why we ended up choosing this hotel despite the fact I was a bit... more

The Lido Palace has obviously seen better times. The outside of the hotel is still beautiful, it's been built in a classic grand hotel style. The inside, however, reminded us of hotels in the former Eastern Bloc. The lobby is shabby for a four star hotel, some of the staff should tend better to their personal hygiene (sorry but this... more

We chose the hotel based on other Trip Advisor recommendations and were extremely impressed. The hotel is a small jewel situated at the heart of the town and facing the beach and the port. The stafff is exceptionally helpful. One very nice service is that although checkout is around noon, the management advises guests to leave their luggage packed in... more

We stayed here in late March 2009 with our small baby. We e mailed the hotel directly to check on the facilities and booked one of the "suites" as we were assured this had cooking facilities and a fridge. The price was not much more than for a standard room. When we arrived we discovered the suite was more like... more

We stayed in Lido only for one night as a stop of our trip from Pisa to Milan. This is a really nice hotel and in a good location in Santa Margherita Ligure, which is as nice as Portofino, much cheaper and with excellent restaurants. The hotel has a central location, close to the boat to Portofino and Cinqueterre and... more

If you travel by train, this is an ideal spot to stay for trips to Cinque Terre, Portofino etc. In the summertime it is also good location for boat trips. However, boat trips were not possible in April although the hotel description may give that impression. The building is beautiful and the reception personnel answer your questions in English. The... more

This was our second visit to Santa Margherita but our first time at the Lido. The hotel is easy to find being on the main street into SM. The hotel offers secure garage parking, for a fee. We booked a junior suite. It was quite roomy in the lounge and bedroom although the bathroom was quite pokey. The view was... more

My partner and I stayed at LPH for 4 nights and decided it is one of our favorite Italian hotels. The junior suites are sufficiently spacious, ours was quite clean and comfortable, there was a small refrigerator and the bathroom was more than adequate with excellent amenities. We were in a corner room so had views up three streets, across... more
