Of all the hotels I saw in central Rapallo, this one was definitely my choice. First of all I only paid 90 Euro for a huge double room, given that Rapallo is one of those hateful fancy little towns where even breathing is expensive, this is something to keep in mind. The hotel has got a pleasant atmosphere, it may... More

I liked the warm welcome and the location of the hotel a bit outside from Rapallo. You have easy access to Rapallo by 10 min walk. The room was decorated a bit old style but the bathroom was nice and of course the view from the balcony was splendid. The staff in the reception was very friendly and helpful and... More

We booked this hotel a couple of days before we were heading to the Santa Margherita area. Due to the last minute booking our choices were somewhat limited. We stayed for 3 nights while we explored the area of Santa Margherita, Portofino and Cinque Terre. Pros: The breakfast that was included had a good selection, really delicious chocolate croissants.

This hotel wasn't our first choice, but all that was left in Rapallo as a result of a late booking. I read all the reviews and was not confident that I had made the right choice considering how expensive it was to stay here. I needn't had worried the Hotel did not disappoint. For me, I like cleanliness, friendliness, good... More

We arrived late at night and I had requested two separate beds on the reservation. Due to the fact we booked through Expedia, the hotel never received our request. Even though a room with two beds was unavailable, the front desk had someone come up and convert the king bed to a room with two twin beds. In addition, we... More

A romantic dinner on the scenic rooftop restaurant Cupole; a sumptuous breakfast buffet while relaxing on the patio overlooking the Italian Riviera; cocktails and a live saxophonist playing mellifluous tunes in the evening; complimentary watermelon while you lounge at the pool; and a massage to take away all stress--these were things that made this hotel my favorite in Italy.

We stayed at the Grand Hotel Bristol at the end of September for 4 nights and had a wonderful time. The reception staff was very welcoming and helpful (Thanks again especially to Laura). We had a spectacular view from our room on the third floor. The breakfast was very good, with a lot of choices and even homemade cakes. The... More

We stayed at this hotel for the second time in four years. Unfortunately, this time, everything was disappointing, from the people at the reception desk to our room. Check-in was very poor. We were misled in believing that our room was a superior room, when in fact it was by far inferior to the superior room we occupied 4 years... More
