Why people love it
- Breakfast. Guests call the buffet rich and varied, with a croissant filling station. One says it is better than at many five-star hotels.
- The staff. Guests name Crystal, who greeted them with cold towels and drinks, and Mr. Sandro, who showed a shortcut to the center. A manager welcomed guests with Prosecco.
- Rooms. Guests mention clean, renovated rooms with a Dyson hairdryer and a steamer.
- Location. It is on a rise a few minutes from the center and the beach, with buses to Portofino and Rapallo.
The worst thing guests say
In the newest 30 reviews, from October 2025 to September 2026, ratings are 4 or 5 stars. A few guests said rooms are not very soundproof and parking is not cheap. Lower ratings from 2017 to 2024 mentioned very small rooms and bathrooms, an uninspired breakfast and dated areas.
Insider tips
- The hotel is uphill. Ask staff about the shortcut to the center.
- Parking is available but not cheap.
- Rooms that are not renovated can be small; ask which type you are booked into.
Who it's for: couples and families who want a warm welcome and a good breakfast near the center.
Skip it if you want a large room or a quiet-proof room.
