The staff was very friendly. We booked a superior room because we wanted the beautiful wiev. When we first arrived we where shown to another room but when we pointed this out the staff immidiately arranged for us to get the room we had booked. The hotel was just what we wanted - a bit old fashioned with the right "italian vibe", situated among the old italian villas. Nice breakfast with good coffee. A short walk to the beach on the next bay (that is much nicer then the Rapallo beach). We used this as a base for nice boat trips to Portofino and Cinque Terre.

A bit noicy from the street - but off course. Comes with the location.

Angela from reception was amazing. She spoke very well english and she was smiling all the time. I booked a single room and when I arrived and saw how small it is the room, I was shocked and I asked Angela to help me change the room. So book for a double room with balcony or a room with terrace above the restaurant (on that terrace you have a sunbed + table with chairs). Hotel is super clean. In the room you have amenities, mini bar, air conditioning, TV. Dog friendly. Hotel has parking but if you don't want to pay for parking (15 euro/day), in front of the hotel there is a park and behind the park there is free parking. Great location, close to city center and a perfect choice if you plan to visit Portofino and SML. Breakfast is ok (no hot dishes). On the top floor there is a terrace and the view is amazing! The public beach is super close also. Next to the hotel you have gas station, supermarket, restaurants etc

Don't book for a single/ double small room. I paid for such room and it was so small that I cannot describe (the windows of the room opened onto a dusty old balcony) + the bathroom had old plumbing. No hot dishes for breakfast.

The location was perfect for what we wanted to do. Short walk to beaches, restaurants, shops and ferry boat launch to Portofino and Santa Margherita Ligure. Breakfast was plentiful and included a wide variety of items. Staff was helpful and kind. Has parking at a cost or street parking if you can find it. Staff parked and retrieved the car for us. The room was clean and yes, as I read in other reviews, it was small as was the bathroom but we have to understand it is an old building, built many years ago when standards were not the same as they are now. We spent most of our time outside of the hotel so as long as the room is clean, bed is comfortable and there is enough room for our luggage, we were good. Also agree that the walls are thin as you can hear noise from other rooms and outside but we had no problems sleeping. We were there during the week so not sure if streets are busier and louder on weekends. The terrace on the fifth floor was awesome. We would definitely return if ever in the area again. Side note: there is a mercato there on Thursday mornings, within walking distance of the hotel.

The hotel it's very well located beachfront and the promenade, and with a magnificent terrace, those are the highest points if you traveling to Rapallo and as a hub for visiting Portofino, Cinque terre etc. The rooms are being remodeling, I booked 2 rooms and one was with a spacious bathroom and double bed for my parents. The other room was 3 bed but the downside was the bathroom which shows aging and extremely small with a tall bathtub not suitable for elderly persons. I could pass this because overall the hotel location is superb, breakfast it's good. staff is amazing and super honest, they told us we were forgetting some values at check out. Will definitely stay here again because of great service and location.

only the bathroom size in one room.

People were very helpful Breakfast was good Location was fantastic

Bathroom- I was told I had small room which I had no issue with. The big issue I had was the bathroom and in particular the bath - shower. It was neither,ie half the size of a normal bath but with a 45degree slop and an old fashioned hand held shower unit. It doesn’t work and in my opinion is VERY dangerous and is a risk for a potential accident

10 mins from train station - we had a balcony room which overlooked the road and views to the sea, harbour and mountains. Roof terrace views even better. Shutters kept room cool and dark -and the air con was very effective. Room recently refurbished - our bathroom was dated and small - but saw some others had been updated. Breakfast comprehensive self service. Safe in room not working.

Working safe. Updated bathroom.

I loved my stay at the Hotel Giulio Cesare. A spacious foyer and a bright welcome from Sabrina at the desk was very comforting. She was generous with her advice and instructions: this makes it easy to ask for future help. Breakfast was exceptional: clearly explained and a huge amount of choices.

Something I always hope to have when travelling is a small refrigerator, especially on 30deg. temps and you always need cold drinks. My other suggestion would be for some English channels on the television.

GREAT GREAT GREAT LOCATION! They even have private parking for only €15 and they let me reserve a spot months in advance! This hotel is walkable to the city, beach and the ferry. Easy to get in and out and enjoy the town, night life and the experience! Also, we showed up 3 hours early and our room was ready early for free! Can’t beat that deal and this place!! Also has a nice quite terrace, however, we did not use it.

Free breakfast could have had a bit more warm things, was a lot of cold offerings

The location is amazing, across Rapallo port. There are restaurants and supermarkets within a few minutes on foot. There are a few beaches (mostly pebbled beaches but that is typical) around (3 min to 10 mins range). The best part is that the staff is so helpful, friendly and responsive! Giovanni and Cladio makes your stay easy and comfortable! Thank you! :)

The place has its spirit. My room was filled with light . I especially liked the bathroom , which has the touch of art deco. Comfortable beds. Friendly and helpful staff. Nice breakfast and tasty coffee. Great location and very picturesque way to the hotel from the station.The hotel has its small terrace to enjoy the beautiful Rapallo port from above.

The walls of the room could be more protected from the sounds of the neighbouring rooms.
