    For me it was a very good choice!

    With a small purse and on a low-budget-trip I found this great place and it was the best choice. Much cheaper than anywhere else in this region, a restaurant just down there next to the hotel. Very friendly and fair staff, a clean room and a location in the center of Rapallo. If you don't mind an old hotel, you will be satisfied here!

    I found a live insect in my sheets when I arrived… It was cold in the room because the heating does not work at night.

    Lumps in the bed but if you're a deep sleeper, this will not be an issue. It's a dated property but reasonably well maintained. The place is good for a few nights stay.

    The location of the hotel is ideal. It's not far from Rapallo train station, the ferry terminal and seafront. You can easily walk everywhere from this hotel.

    No staff, keys at the neighbors restaurant. The shared bathroom is big, with a separate toilet. It but needs a complete renovation. Bathtub, showerhead broken, and a plastic curtain. Make a walk inn shower and the hotel is a great place!

    Location, big room, beautiful building with terrazzo floors.

    - old facilities(bed, fan, bathroom, elevator...) - very noisy if the windows are open due to the construction and cars (some earplugs would help) - Noisy toilet

    -It's very cheap compared to others with a private bathroom. - the window has good isolation - well located, good transport connections

    Nevertheless of course one might expect more for the same price elsewhere (not the Cinque-Terre region of Italy). Everything was very simple, there was no additional luxury. The bathroom and shower were small and every time the toilet was flushed there was a rather loud pumping sound, which may disturb people during the night. I didn't wake from any sound in other rooms though so I wouldn't weigh this in too much.

    The accommodation is very centrally located and you benefit from an extremely short walk (2min) to the beach and downtown. The train station is also a mere 10min walk away. The check-in was very friendly and uncomplicated and we could move into the room immediately, as agreed. The furnishings were very simple and without luxury but sufficient, it was very clean. The bed was made up fresh every day. In the bathroom there were soaps and enough towels, as well as cups. For colder nights there was an extra blanket in the closet. The mattress was rather hard (back-suitable), which we liked but of course is a matter of taste and can certainly vary from room to room. Overall the room looked better than it appeared in the pictures so we were pleasantly surprised. There is a tiny elevator which may help with luggage and we didn't hear anything from the other rooms. Taking into account how expensive all the hotels in the area are, this is a cheap but clean stay that will suffice for a few days.

    Few minutes walk from railway station and promenade. Chech in takes place in the restaurant downstairs, possible until 10pm. Room is ok, but walls are paper thin and had noisy neighbours, a bit disturbing by the tv and their load speaking. Shared bathroom ok, liked the tap in the room and the soft towels. Bed comfy.

    I think it needs AC, and a fridge, small one because I wanted to have fresh water at night and I never could because there was no fridge unfortunately and it was way too hot even if I bought cold water at the store by the time I’d get home was already warm. So I’d recommend a fridge

    The place vas super clean! Just was TOO HOT. I’ll come back but not in July. It is in a very great spot everything is 2 minutes waking, and it is in a strategic position with boat everything is close 5 terre, Portofino, San Fruttuoso, e Porto venere.

    the bathroom is small, the toilet is a bit broken, it‘s reall hot even after shower. Elevator is also narrow. No aircon, just fan, but it‘s worth the price.

    really accessible for commute, near the train & station, and near the port.

    The fact that I didn’t have a personal bathroom and the cool air fan wasn’t that powerful

    The close location to the sea, allowing to take the boat to visit all the others closest cities (Portofino, Santa Magherita Lingurie , San Fruttuoso, etc) The staff that also manage the restaurant at ground floor were lovely and they greet me well and was always nice , communicative with me
