Cleanliness
8.8
Multiple reviews praise room cleanliness and housework; some comments describe the hotel as a bit 'tired' and note dead plants outside, but overall cleanliness is regarded positively.
Service
9.3
Consistently strong praise for staff: friendly, professional, responsive (24h reception, quick fixes, memorable gestures). Service is a clear strength across languages.
Location
9.5
Frequently described as well placed, quiet and easy to reach; convenient for guests though a few note it is slightly distant from the centre but overall location is excellent.
Room Quality
8.1
Rooms are generally clean and functional with some recent bathroom upgrades, but guests report small TVs, sparse furniture, occasional AC problems, and thin walls; mixed but acceptable.
Amenities
8.2
Amenities are mixed: parking with a charging point is appreciated, but private beach is underwhelming/paid and some facilities (e.g., jacuzzi plug, small TV) had issues; overall adequate.
Value for Money
8.5
Perceived value is generally positive though guests note extra charges (beach fee, paid parking) and some feel breakfast/service level could be higher for the star rating.
Food and Beverage
7.7
Breakfast opinions vary widely: several guests find it weak or bland for a 4-star, while others praise variety and replenishment; overall F&B leans slightly under expectations.
Overall Experience
9.5
Overall impressions are positive with many guests willing to return thanks to location and staff; shortcomings (breakfast, some room/facility issues, noise) slightly reduce but do not dominate the experience.

Des vacances à Rapallo pour visiter Portofino et la région.
Pros:

Une belle bâtisse, des chambres confortables, propres et calmes. Un très bon accueil, un excellent petit déjeuner.
Un accès facile au centre ville en moins de 10mn à pieds.

Cons:

Le jaccusi était très propre mais l’accès pour y rentrer est dangereux. (Marche en bois pas assez haute et manque une rampe de sécurité)
