Arrived at 10.00am and were surprised and delighted to find our room available immediately. The female receptionist was very friendly and helpful and we were lucky to get a front room with a balcony allowing us great views across the esplanade. The room was light and airy and at AU$165 for the night including an adequate breakfast, we consider this... more

My wife and I had a nice stay but this is not a 4* hotel. The room was very big (for european hotels) but had no safe. The bathroom was old and the hotel has no lift. more

My husband and I travel extensively and it pains me to have to write a negative review, especially since the staff was very welcoming upon check-in. However, from the moment we walked in, we were STUNNED to find the hotel in such shambles. The room was simply—a mess. There were "mysterious" spots on the floor and furniture and the room... more

First of all I think its only fair to say the staff were excellent. Very helpful, courteous and friendly. I could not fault them. The location is very good too.

We spent two nights here after flying into Milan Malpensa and driving down. Hotel was great and we'd appreciated welcoming e-mail in advance confirming our rooms and parking and answering our questions re: planned trips.

A lovely hotel in a great location slightly set back from the sea front. Absolutely fabulous staff with a warm welcome and great advice on how to make the most of a short visit. Rapallo is a small town so everywhere is within walking distance, including the train station and the ferry to Portofino. more

We were on a 6 week trip thru italy with 1 week in Rapallo. We were lucky to get a room on the 1st floor with a very large outdoor terrace. We felt like throwing a party. Besides this wonderful room I must comment on the hotel service. It was like staying at a relative home that you really like.... more

I am a regular visitor to Rapallo and, after spending time in a couple of other hotels, I have settled on the Astoria as my first choice and have stayed there twice, for two weeks at a time. Admittedly the room isn't at all big by four star standards, but this is Europe we are talking about and single-bed hotel... more

My 23 year old daughter and I recently stayed at the Hotel Astoria in Rapallo for a five night stay. I am very happy to say that both the hotel and the town of Rapallo were a delight! I booked directly through the hotel on their website and the correspondence was quick and full of much appreciated infomation.We received a... more
