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

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. Rapallo is a small but really nice town, with a 10 min walk from the hotel you can get on a boat to sta Margherita... More

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

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 The only downside was the outdated rooms, slightly disapointing when you consider the cost per night and all the other great things about this hotel.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!

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

We moved to this hotel at the last minute (after finding our original hotel so bad that we left after one night) and this one was just gorgeous. Our room was luxurious. Spacious, beautifully decorated, very well appointed with all the usual things (telephones, fridge, safe, writing desk etc) and with some nice extras like the umbrella in the wardrobe,... 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. The hotel is beautifully furnished and our room was a good size, as was the bathroom, and the balcony was big enough to sit and take in the beautiful views. The... More

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. Being slightly up a hill, the hotel offers wonderful seclusion, yet is easy to walk into town and takes mere minutes. The views are breathtaking. The room was a great... More

It is very expensive but we had the chance to stay there since it was off season and there was enough free rooms. Breakfast is excellent! Like real 5 starts hotel. Service is amazing except one man which we didn’t like at all. Rooms are very nice and the location is 5 min by walk and if you have a... More
