Lovely room in Rapallo! Great price and exactly what I needed for two nights solo trip, had a beautiful balcony overlooking the sea and super close to everything you need - including walkable to Rapallo train station for Cinque Terre day trips! Staff were great and let me borrow an adapter. You do have to pay to use the sunbathing deck below the hotel though but it’s lovely spot and can be there all day if you wish.

The property sits in a Prime location. If you get a room with a balcony, you’re looking over the bay. You’re looking over the castle and out to see the Peninsula curves around the morning is beautiful and the lights twinkle at night. It’s also easy walking distance to everything along the main strip restaurants, coffee, and you’re also get to the Middletown easily lots of choices and excellent food in the area. It’s a more authentic Italian vibe then other touristy places in Italy. It’s a five minute walk to the ferry and a 10 minute walk to the train. It’s a great place. I highly recommend it.

Very nice English speaking staff, so helpful.
The small bathing area is very nice.
We were overlooking the beach which came with a beautiful view .
There is a room and hallway to the lift that is very depressing, although authentic, could really do with modernising , this also applies to the breakfast room.
It was lovely having breakfast overlooking the sea , you don’t have to sit in the breakfast room .

Nice place, very convenient. A five minute walk to the train station and a nearby convenience store. In front of the sea. Overall would definitely stay again if I visit Rapallo again.

Only downside, if you have problems walking, elevator is really small. It really only fits one person at the time with their luggage. I don’t mind using the stairs, actually prefer it, so it didn’t affect me at all.

Also, for my fellow Americans who are always banging on about the air conditioning abroad the one in this hotel works really well.

We booked the triple sea view room that looks out on the Rapallo Castle. You do get a tide smell now and then but the location and view is worth it. The staff in the restaurant is so nice and the food is amazing. The front desk was so helpful; they helped us extend our stay by one day and were able to keep us in the same room. They also helped us book a scooter for the day to go to Portofino. I would highly recommend this hotel and this city; everyone was lovely.

Wonderful location, a lovely view and a warm welcome. But! Let's be honest! The rooms are small, poor sound proofing and any hotel charging €100+ per night should provide a proper bed! Not a metal bed frame (almost a camp bed) with a thin low quality mattress! After the first night of an uncomfortable sleep Reception said they would put 'another mattress topper' on the bed. They use a duvet, which is not a 'mattress topper'.
On top of this there are 2 paper cups as the only drinking vessels provided and the plug sockets are 3 pins, first time I have seen that in Italy. So plugging things in is challenging.
Breakfast is nice enough, lovely view.
They obviously want you to eat and drink in the restaurant, which is fine but occasionally a drink on the balcony would be nice and they don't even give you more flimsy paper cups each day! They disintegrated within a day from a couple of uses, cleaning teeth etc!!

It's a nice location, I think some odd cost cutting decisions have been made which give it a 'Budget Ibis' feel in my opinion more than comfortable hotel. I imagine Ibis have better beds!

Our comfort room was modern, but we spent most of our time on the balcony; that view is world-class! Good breakfast and a perfect location for day trips to Portofino and Santa Margherita. Highly recommend this hotel as a clean and comfortable base for exploring the coast.

We only had two days booked, but wished we had more time to spend at this hotel and Rapallo. It was a quick walk to get to the boats to Portofino and we had a gorgeous view with a castle from our room. Outside the hotel is a beautiful promenade to walk to restaurants and around the marina. We hope to visit again, when we come back to Italy the next time from Canada.

The hotel itself is pretty old and outdated, beds and pillows are not great- but the view!!! I had a room on the sea (highly recommend the extra $ to get that view) with a little two seat balcony set up and it was beautiful. Noisy in the mornings with people at the beach but what can you do? This was a 7 minute walk to the train station and I took my bags with me no problems. The front desk staff is so kind and helpful for everything and there’s a bunch of places to eat right outside.
The ferry takes off about a 5 minute walk from
The hotel and is only 20€ to go to and from Portofino. I’m glad I stayed here as it was easy to get in and out of and close to the other two cities by ferry. The view and location is 10/10 but the actual hotel itself is probably 6/10.

The location is brilliant, the staff are lovely and the sea view is definitely worth paying for. The room needs updating, especially the ‘air conditioning’, the room never got below 22 deg, the temp and fan is controlled by reception which was not ideal; they lowered temp but it never got cooler, also pillows need replacing - we found this in many different hotels during our stay.
I would recommend this hotel for the lovely staff who can’t do enough for you and a real credit to the hotel, thank you.

Hotel Italia e Lido Rapallo is a great hotel in a fantastic location. Our room was on the fourth floor with a beautiful view of the Rapallo Harbor there was a nice little bistro set on the balcony to enjoy the view and coffee or a cocktail it is centrally located to walk to all the shops and restaurants in Rapalo. The staff was fantastic from front desk to Housekeeping. We will definitely stay there again we had one of the larger rooms and it was still a little on the small side, but typical Italian style The only real drawback was the size of the shower. Similar to a small motorhome shower.

Don't consider this hotel if you travel by car

Dont consinder this destination if you travel by car , parking is a nightmare and the hotel don't give any real options for Parking. As consequence we had to leave the hotel before the end of our stay - no refund given, to the reason they by all right claim that's parking isn't are a part of the Hotel offering. Even the carpark near by (36€ a day) is full and you have to find alternative to this due to market days should you be lucky to get a free space. Our room was ok, but the walls are paper thin, so all noice goes direct into your room from about six am - so it's not possible to sleep unless you use earplugs. And the Wifi didn't work, just to say

Rapallo has a lot of construction going on, so ask for a room not on the street side. Have a drink/meal at their seaside restaurant off the promenade.

6 minute walk to the train station and 5 minutes to the center, so an ideal location. Would definitely stay here again!

A Place to Avoid, At Least if You're Single

Great location, but terrible service and condition, at least in a cell-like single room. Furthermore, although there was a nation-wide rail strike making travel to Rapallo difficult and expensive, the hotel management refused a request to change the reservation until the strike was over or to cancel it. Very unreasonable!! In addition, I requested a quiet room and was given a cell-like chamber on a street with loud traffic, day and night. And the final blow were the mosquitoes buzzing above my bed!! I'm very allergic to insect bites and came away with a large mosquito bit on my forehead!!! A place to avoid....
