This place is great. It’s old but that’s the charm. It’s beautiful and unique. The service provided was easily one of the best parts about the stay, everyone was extremely nice and professional. The amenities were amazing, there was like 4 different types of saunas and even 4 different types of showers (who knew?) and being able to jump into crystal blue waters and then order a beer to my pool lounge which was next to the rocks was pretty sick.

The best hotel in Rapallo!!

I had a really good short stay here in November. It was quieter than usual (only passed it in the summer when it was extremely busy). They have a great location, proper 5-star service. The mirrors in the room were a little old but that's part of the charm. The entire hotel looked like an 18th century aristocrat's home inside. It was beautiful.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Excelsior Hotel in Rapallo, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The hotel, nestled on the picturesque Ligurian coast, offers stunning views of the sea, and its location is perfect for exploring the charming town of Rapallo and nearby Portofino.

Currently staying at this grand hotel for six nights, and I'm delighted to do so. This is a 5-star hotel with nothing but charm and elegance. Beautifully appointed throughout, with the most opulent main foyer. The Excelsior sets the standard to be met by others. Our room overlooks the sea from the balcony.
We had the pleasure of dining in the Lord Byron restaurant, which gave us a culinary experience beyond measure, one we'll never forget.
Looking forward to the next 5 nights and will be sad to leave.

This would be a 3(at best 4) start hotel in any other part of the world.

The basic rooms are extremely tiny. There is not enough room to open 2 suitcases in the room. Considering that they are charging 700+ euro+/night during high season, this is not acceptable.

The walls are also super thin and you can hear everything going on in the hallways and the adjacent rooms.

We wanted a toothpaste and the ones they gave us had expired in 2021!

There is a huge hill/stairs at the hotel entrance and no shuttle whatsoever. A small golf cart would've made everyone happier, but again customer service is not really their top of mind here.

Breakfast: The options are very limited and taste bad. The smoked salmon was black and about to go bad. Some of the tomatoes had already gone bad!

I am thinking that with the Google reviews and the 5 stars, this hotel ran a very good marketing campaign to achieve its status but it certainly does not live up to it.

We were very unhappy - definitely stay away from this property.

I just love the vibe! Old charm and attentive service. The views are just magical. Only thing that could be better - arrangement of sun beds in beach club. Sun beds shouldn’t be booked with towels for the time they are not actually occupied. At least the ones that are close front by the water. And you could put couple more floating sun-beds - it was creat addition this year to find! Will be back! 🙏🏻
