“Italian hospitality at it's best.”

Reviewed May 23, 2013 NEW via mobile

Had a great three nights here. Fantastic location with great views of the Rapallo marina and stunning mountainous background. The service and friendliness from the staff is second to none. In my opinion, the Italians are hard to beat when it comes to service and hospitality and they certainly excel themselves at the Excelsior. Small rooms, nice pools and spa.... More

“Fantastic if visiting portofino, also wonderful view from all the rooms”

This hotel was a surprise. We stayed there because Portofino was too expensive, and we ended up in this 5 star hotel, great price, super clean, super nice staff and an increadible view of Rapallo.

“Beautiful location, friendly and helpful staff”

Reviewed May 5, 2013 via mobile

Just returned from a few days break in Rapallo. We found the Excelsior Palace very good - we had a superior room on the 5th floor which afforded spectacular views straight out to sea with the marina to the left. Just wonderful. We ate dinner twice in The Lord Byron restaurant, together with breakfast each morning, and everything we had... More

“Location location!!!”

Reviewed May 4, 2013 via mobile

What a great spot, overlooking the italian riviera from the infinity pool was awesome. Beautiful setting and gardens, nice beach, and close to the centre of town Rapallo. Beautiful town!!! The only downside was the outdated rooms, slightly disapointing when you consider the cost per night and all the other great things about this hotel. Heaps of potential!

“Pleasant surprise...”

Reviewed April 24, 2013

We selected the Excelsior Place and Rapallo as it seemed to be centrally located for our sightseeing in the Liguria area (Cinque Terre, Portifino, etc.). Turned out to be a very pleasant surprise. The hotel is on a perfect piece of land right on the bay and is beautifully landscaped. Service is prompt and friendly. But, the real stunner was... More

This is a lovely hotel in a great location, a very pleasant walk through a small park and across a pretty bridge brings you to the promenade at Rapallo.

I stayed at this hotel over the Easter holidays. The staff were very attentive and helped anyway possible. The public areas, bars and restaurants offered much variety and great ambience.
