Reviews and Ratings
The hotel's rooms could do with some attention and a bit more care, but they are exactly like the photos – clean, bright, and comfortable. My room on the 4th floor was spacious and well appointed. The service was not as good as expected and not very polite at the reception; however, the additional nights were a pleasure for our eyes. The location, while not backed up by strong management, is quite good and very central yet away from crowded areas with a fantastic large pool. The dining experience was really fantastic with a great variety available.
My stay at the hotel was simply delightful. The rooms were superb, situated next to the elevator with stunning views of the towns, Santa Marguerita, and Portofino, overlooking the scenic blue coastal waters. The cleanliness and comfort of the rooms were exceptional, making for a restful retreat. The service provided by the hotel staff was top-notch, ensuring a warm and attentive experience. The central yet peaceful location was a major plus, although having a car might be necessary for some. The dining was very tasty, offering a continental selection with a limited hot bar. Overall, a great value for the money spent.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The rooms were spacious and clean, each with a spectacular view of the water from private balconies. The service was top-notch, with the staff being incredibly friendly and helpful. The location was outstanding, right in the heart of the Italian Riviera. The dining experience was absolutely amazing, especially at the rooftop restaurant. The facilities were modern and well-maintained.
The hotel offers comfortable rooms with a great view of Rapallo harbor and a convenient location. The service was friendly and professional, with some minor room for improvement. The dining experience was decent but not outstanding. The facilities were well-maintained and enjoyable.
The hotel is located in a basic area with a large pool and plenty of sun beds, offering a lovely temperature and immaculately clean surroundings. While the decking maintenance seems overdue, the efficient daily cleaning service and friendly staff contribute to a good experience. However, noise from passing trains, cars, and adjacent property renovations can be disruptive at times.
The hotel's rooms offer a decent stay for the price paid, featuring views of cobblestone alleys and the breaking surf. However, they seem to lack attention and care from the facilities management. The service was professional overall, but some areas like the reception fell short and were impolite and unhelpful. The location is excellent with a big pool and pleasant temperature, although the management could be improved. The dining experience was satisfactory but not exceptional and came with additional charges like paying for Wi-Fi. The facilities could use some improvement but overall provide a functional stay.
