“Great value”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 November 2011
1
person found this review helpful

We got a room on the top floor with a wraparound balcony which gave great views. It was a good sized room with a modern bathroom & it was clean.Nice big towels. We enjoyed the variety at breakfast(choice of cappuchino,hot chocolate,latte,juice,fruit tarts,cakes,croissants,etc). It's a short walk to the shops, seafront, restaurants,cablecar and the open markets(Thursday). Free parking in the public carpark nearby which is safe & convenient.

Room Tip: Definitely the room at the top with penthouse views from the private balcony.

“Great Experience”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 July 2010

person found this review helpful

We stayed in the hotel from July 23-24, and compare with other hotels later on during our trip in Italy, we have to say that having a 3 star rating, it corresponded well to our expectations and the price. We booked this hotel in a rush, without actually doing a thourough research, but the reviews from Tripadvisor helped. We did not expect great breakfast, so we were ok with that. And it is true, it was horrible in terms of choice of items and also quality. The coffee was no good, tea ok. Italian tradition eating sweet thing for the breakfast did not really appeal. However they had a sparesome variety of youghurts, breadrolls ( if any variety at all), jams, honey and butter. No musli, bacon, eggs etc..

We arrive in the evening of 23rd after 5 hours of travel, out room was well airconditionned, something that we appreciated very much. The room had also enough space and cupboards ( although we did not use them). Another good thing was that it was not facing the main street, which one have to take to go to St. Marguerita Ligure and Portofino.

We were very lucky with the parking, and managed to save few cents there. In front of the hotel, there is a big parking, which belongs to port users( we think), however, if you are lucky enough to find a spot there, you can park. Italian police did not really check out the cars which were not parked correctly during the weekend. Of course the best mean of transporation in the Italian Riviera is scooter.

As per other reviews, the hotel possess great terrasse on the roof, which provides you with excellent view.

We were quite happy with our stay in the hotel, and would recommend anyone to stay there, as it happened to us, we came back from Firenze to Rapallo and managed to get a room the same day as we called ( during the high season).

If you will stay in the hotel, ask for room nr. 35, as it is big enough, quite, and cool on hoht summer days. Room 27, was small, (bathroom and the room as well) although it had a terrasse which we did not really use...

“Disappointing”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 June 2010

We stayed during a recent trip through Italy. Compared to other hotels we stayed in off the same star rating, this one fell short of expectations. We weren't made to feel welcome on arrival, rooms and bathrooms are in need of some work and breakfast is very limited. Our room was cleaned every day and given fresh towels. Overall decor is old and a bit dirty looking. The sun terrace is nice and offers beautiful views of the port but if the sun isn't shining this hotel isn't where you would enjoy spending time.

“Excellent location and roof terasse!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 September 2009
1
person found this review helpful

We stayed four nights in this hotel and were generally very satisfied! The staff was nice and helpful, the central location was perfect and the view from the roof terasse was priceless. We asked for - and got - a room at the top floor near the roof terasse and we never missed having our own balcony. There were only a few small drawbacks. Our bed could have been better (it was a bit hard and "fell down" in the middle), there was no fridge and the traffic was loud at times. However, we forgot about that once we sat on the terasse looking at the boats coming in.

“Excellent!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 July 2009

All the bad recentions- shame on you! I was there when the gentleman form Talinn was arguing about the price and noone was rude to him, the son's owner just said that he didn't know anything about 75 euro, everyonecan see the pricelist, that sais 85 euro. Anyway, we stayed there with our daughter (2 years) and dog and had a wonderfull time! The room was cleaned every day, clean towels and sheets, nice personnel! Maria Tesera (the owner) and het daughter Paula were so nice to us and our daughter and the dog! I would go again next year! Thank you all for the pleasant stay!
