    Not worth the price

    rating18 Apr 2026

    Just to echo some of the other reviews. If you get a good deal, by all means stay here, but if you are paying $800-$900 per night, just don't expect to get a 5 star hotel. Spa and garden were closed during our stay, but there was no warning on the website or anywhere else until we arrived. Our room was small without much room for a 2nd suitcase. Balcony door wouldn't shut all the way. No amenities like tea or coffee in the room. Breakfast buffet was nice, but had to pay to get things off the a la carte menu which just felt cheap. I think if we expected a 3 star hotel, then we wouldn't have been so disappointed in what we were getting. On the plus side, service at reception was good and it is a very short walk down to the water.

    Hotel 8 in Portofino? An absolute nightmare. I booked a room for August 9th to 12th through Expedia-my mistake, meant September-but Expedia was a dream, trying to fix it. Amanda, the reservations manager, and Ermis, the resident manager, though? Total stonewall. They hit me with a no refund policy lecture and zero flexibility. After heated emails, they finally agreed to switch to my September 9th to 12th dates, but-get this-wanted another 3,700 euros on top of the 3,200 euros I'd already paid, claiming my original room was unavailable and I'd get a fancy one. I checked online, and the same room was still bookable for less! Called them out, and they just doubled down, refusing to budge. Now they won't even change my dates. TripAdvisor reviews echo this-others call Hotel 8 dinky, poorly located, and overpriced for Portofino. I'm visiting in September and will see it myself, but for now, steer clear of this place unless you love getting fleeced

    The Best of Portofino

    rating17 Jul 2025

    My husband and I stayed at the Eight Hotel in early July 2025. The hotel was AMAZING. We were in a Deluxe Room, recently renovated with high quality finishings and designs like the White Lotus. The luxurious black marble bathroom had dual sinks, and a heated floor. The location is extraordinary, just 2 blocks from the port/pizetta. The shuttle service to the beach was very timely and comfortable. The beaches are a 4-5 minute drive, and all three main beaches (Dior, Dolce, and the Eight are all next to each other). Breakfast was good. The guests appeared to be mostly couples. The staff were nice, especially Ricardo. This is a boutique hotel with 8 floors. I think this is the best Hotel in Portofino, a true 5 star boutique hotel, if you do not want to spring for the Splendido. The Eight hotel is a one hour drive from the Genoa airport, given the roadways, and the taxi cost is around 175-225 Euros. There are no Ubers in Portofino, so taxis are the only possibilities. I would stay at the Eight again, either in Portofino or other Italian cities where the Eight has hotels.

    Fabulous hotel!

    rating31 May 2025

    Just had two nights at this fabulous hotel and wish it was longer! The attention to detail everywhere is amazing. Just a short 5 min stroll into Portofino harbor with all its shops bars and restaurants and then to return to a little slice of heaven. The bed was so comfortable and the room so quiet. The breakfast is absolutely fantastic with a range of everything you could wish for all exquisite the fresh bread was still warm! The Dyson hairdryer was an extra touch of luxury. Definitely hope to return one day.

    Just okay

    rating05 Oct 2024

    If you’re looking for location right by Portofino Marina then this is your place. There is NO shower in the rooms, only a huge tub with old style faucets, this was a huge disadvantage. The tussue box in the bathroom was empty. We weren’t given the WiFi password at check in until we called to ask and we also did not receive the free spa service and we weren’t offered any! It’s way too expensive for what we got! I don’t recommend staying there. Saint Margherita Ligure hotels are much better with better services and amenities. Also, the breakfast was very poor, no varieties and the toaster oven wasn’t working. I won’t stay there again for sure . Thanks
