Hotel Astoria Rapallo

If you come to Rapallo, don't stay anywhere else! The owners treated us like royalty, spoke perfect English and went way above the expected to make us happy. Ferry and train very convenient for day trips. Beach in front of hotel very small and rocky. Offered slight discount to pool club in front of hotel where umbrellas and chairs were available. Short walks to anywhere you would want to go in Rapallo. Our room overlooked the sea on one side and the town on the other. Windows were beautiful but we were warned not to keep them open due to mosquitoes. We did have them open occasionally and had no problem with bugs. Bathroom had great shower. Hotel is near end of promenade so it's not noisy with crowds from restaurants. Breakfast had wide variety of fresh foods and the rolls were the best we had anywhere. We would definitely stay here again and hated to leave.

Positiv: Location was perfect, close to train station, ferry, town, and seaside promenade. Owners Alessandro and Sara were extraordinarily friendly and helpful. Beautiful view of water from room, nicely renovated and comfortable. Amazing breakfast.

Negativ: Evening staff was not always as helpful as daytime staff.
