Room types

MA Hotel offers two types of double room, both designed for couples’ stays in the heart of Santa Margherita Ligure. All rooms are air-conditioned and feature a private en-suite bathroom with hairdryer and courtesy set, as well as a flat-screen TV, minibar and coffee machine: amenities designed for those who want to feel comfortable even in a small property.

The Double Room, at 14 sqm, is the most complete solution and also benefits from soundproofing, useful for those staying in the livelier area of the historic center. The Economy Double Room, slightly smaller at 13.5 sqm, offers the same essential amenities at a simpler level, ideal for those who prioritize savings without moving away from the sea. In both cases the bed is a large double, suitable for two people.
