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.

Beautiful Hotel in Rapallo
Pros:

Everything.

Cons:

We stayed three nights. One morning at breakfast I had the boiled eggs and fresh tomatoes and by afternoon I was really really sick. I recommend that eggs and other vegetables to keep them in cold containers refrigerated. The extreme heat doesn’t help with these type of foods.

Pros:

The room was very spacious, comfortable and nicely designed. We especially liked the bathroom with the hydromassage bathtub. Everything looked beautiful and overall the stay was pleasant.

Cons:

There was a connecting door to the neighbouring room which did not feel very private, as it could open slightly and we could hear the guests next door very clearly and almost see into their room. We also had quite a lot of insects in the room, especially ants. Apart from these points, everything was quite good.
