The hotel is a small resort right in front of a very nice beach. The restaurants and beach bar were really good (maybe a bit pricey, but not that bad). Amazing breakfast, very good small outdoor pool, confortable and large rooms. All in all, can´t complain about the hotel´s structure.

They have some weird scheduling going on. You try to get a table for lunch and the totally empty restaurant is "full". As the day goes by you see the restaurant is never full, but you cannot seem to get a table anyway. Pool closes in the afternoon as to not disturb the guests from the restaurant on the other side with noise. Beach chairs on the front rows are always empty but nevertheless "reserved". It felt like we were kind of second class guests from the hotel, as if there was something else in place and we had no access to it.

The location, right on the beach, was great! However the beach area was somewhat isolated from the main part of Savona. Once we had figured out the bus system, all was well. We didn't check this out, but other comments have mentioned a bus pass available from reception. That would have been good. Bus was 3 euros each way to downtown. We started in a basic room--which had a balcony, but faced the road behind and the hills, with the railway just about 1/2 km back from the roadway and the trains quite audible. Then we paid 20 euros each to upgrade to the seaview side. This gave us a bigger room, with bath (see below) and a separate closet area. Really nice--worth it! The cleaning staff did an excellent job of keeping things immaculate, in spite of us and others wandering in and out from the beach. The internet was fast and reliable. The buffet breakfast was outstanding. Not much need for lunch after a breakfast like that! Overall, a comfortable place to stay and explore Savona.

No café-type restaurant on the premises or nearby. It was either a high-priced meal (with limited selection), or picnic in the room, if you didn't want to go out. There were not many nearby options, either, in early spring (end of February) Also, the hotel has no room service. The Jacuzzi bath in the room which I was looking forward to trying, did not seem to be operating. It had no instructions and was hard to figure out. No English-language channels at all on the TV. BBC News was listed but the connection seemed to be broken. The facilities description on this website seems out of date. There are no sofas in the roofs. That being said, there's a very nice and useful desk setup in the ocean-side rooms.

The hotel was very nice, we booked a room with sea view and we got a very good value for money. The room was very spacious, with Jacuzzi bath tub and a nice balcony, where you can seat and relax looking at the sea. The staff was nice and friendly. Room was very clean. Good they have a free parking. The hotel restaurant was closed so we had to walk 20 min to the closest restaurant for dinner, but we don't mind walking and the restaurant was worth it.

Check out at 10:30 is too early. Breakfast buffet was good, but very busy so the food was not refilled promptly. We were missing some vegetables in the buffet, but otherwise the choice was quite good.

A good location, handy for popping into Savona and visiting pretty coastal villages. There is a bus stop right outside the hotel if you don't fancy driving. The staff at the hotel were courteous, polite and friendly. We ate at the bistro, the food and wine were excellent and the service attentive and professional. We had a lovely day on the beach and relaxed by the pool with some fabulous cocktails from the beach bar (Campari Spritz highly recommend). The hotel decor and gardens are wonderful too. The breakfasts were amazing with a huge variety of top quality products to chose from. I would say this is one of the best hotels we have stayed in. The perfect end to our Italian holiday.

There is nothing we didn't like, it was all absolutely fabulous.

Very good restaurant for dinner and nice breakfast buffet (included in the room) Nice terrasse Comfortable bed and linens Small balcony (but facing a BnB hotel. not very romantic !) We heard that some upper rooms have Jaccusi (we were in the basic room) Private carpark

Location is in the middle of nowhere (at least in winter). All restaurants in the area were closed. (We stayed on January 1st which can be the reason) Room a bit noisy and not very romantic It was very hot in the room and could not find the thermostat (if any) Very hot in the restaurant too !

The renovated rooms have high standard. Others are simple standard. Good breakfast, nice pool area and directly at the beach

You need a car to get to restaurants in the area. The hotel is situated in the outskirts but felt safe. In our case the beach was closed for hygienic reasons during our stay, which the hotel did not inform about in advance, though this was out of their hands and know a day or two prior to our arrival. Luckily we came by car and were able to reach other bays by 15minutes drive, but had to pay significantly for beach access which the hotel did not want to compensate for

Great stay in Savona , we stayed for a few days in jan . We had booked a room with sea view and we really appreciated the balcony . Rooms are well decorated , comfortable bed and everything needed for a 4 star hotel . Breakfast was good , with lots of options , particularly appreciated the pastries and focaccia , cappuccino and coffee. Staff at the reception was very helpful and friendly

Parking cannot be booked in advance , yet in Jan we found place every time .

The room was superb - the only fault we could find was there wasn't a hook for gowns near the spa tub. The staff were exceptionally helpful. The hotel complex was brilliant and nicely designed so it was like a little oasis.

More choices of food would have been appreciated - there was woefully little choices for people with food intolerances or who are vegetarian/vegan either at breakfast or in the dining restaurants. The homemade bread made by the gourmet restaurant was apparently delicious, but I couldn't try any of it as I'm gluten intolerant, which stings a bit when you are paying 50 Euros a head for one course and a glass of wine each!

The unusual design of rooms with blue lighting, comfortable bed, tasty breakfast with a variety of all sorts of pastries (croissants, cookies, pies with cream and chocolate, etc.) on the summer terrace with a sea view (in fact on the beach). In the evening you can visit a sushi bar (fresh and tasty). Beach with chaise lounges. A small beautiful swimming pool. Polite and friendly staff. Parking in front of the hotel (several spots) and a big parking at the hotel side. The bus stop just in front of the hotel (you can go to the city center).

If the room faces the roadside, it might be a bit noisy if the windows are open. The shower cabin needs cleaning and sealing (the water leaks).

Sraff extremely helpful and friendly. Was extremely clean. Lovely comfortable bed and crisp clean sheets and pillows. Very nice modern bathroom. Great breakfast - lovely buffet. Great accessible location from the autostrada from Torino. We visited in Dec and ample parking was available. My husband had a late dinner on our arrival and was very impressed with food quality and price. All in all, this was a great value stay and I would highly recommend Hotel Mare.

Decor in the room was a little dated but perfectly adequate.
