L’esperienza è andata bene, la camera accogliente e il personale gentile e disponibile

Only four or five minutes walk from the railway station with wheeled baggage and very easy to find, it is also only a couple of minutes from the beach area as well as numerous restaurants and bars, as well as the tourist ferry to Portofino and Santa Mergherita Ligure. The only downside at time of writing with regards location is the construction work going on right outside the hotel, however it didn't really cause much of an issue with regards noise or dust. Check-in and out were quick and easy and done with a smile. The double room we had was a fair size with a fridge, shower in a bathtub, comfortable bed and pillows, good wifi, a safety-deposit box and air-conditioning. Plenty of space. But no kettle with instant coffee/tea like most 4 start hotels I have been in when in Italy. Breakfast is strange. Advertised from 07:00 to 10:00. If you arrive at 07:00 there is cereal, yoghurt, fresh fruit, croissants, pastries as well as two types of cold meat and cheese as well as bread and hard boiled eggs. But sitting on the counter is a big metal food retainer of the sort used to keep scrambled eggs, bacon/sausages normally......but nothing in it except hot water and a spoon in front of it. I asked and was told that they don't fill it until 08:00. Don't know what with but presumably bacon, sausages, scrambled egg or similar. So if o go for breakfast at 07:00 to 08:00 you won't get any of that, only if you from 08:00 onwards. I felt like returning for a second breakfast at 08:00 !! Rather strange way of ding things, advertising breakfast at 07:00 but the full breakfast buffet is not actually available until 08:00. And that is my only gripe. Otherwise, a decent hotel although by no means cheap and yet not luxurious.

A family member recommended this hotel to me and I was NOT disappointed. Such wonderful and helpful staff. The hotel room looked directly over the ocean and we were within walking distance to so many restaurants and cute little shops. We took the Rapallo Montallegro Cable Car, which was again withing walking distance. There was a church at the top of the mountain with a small little B&B where we had a drink overlooking the town. WHAT A VIEW!!!! We sat on the hotel balcony every night people watching. This hotel really is a gem. Beds were very comfortable and I can't say enough about all the staff. They were so gracious and helpful. I would recommend this hotel highly. It's in the middle of a busy but relaxing town. You can get happily lost in the zig-zag streets behind the hotel all day. The buffet breakfast was always delicious and they make a great cup of coffee.

The location was perfect and we are lucky enough to find street parking just outside the hotel. However, due to the lack of blanket (only a thin sheet of cloth and a unwashable thick blanket in wardrobe), we were unable to get a good night sleep. Also, the handle of the toilet was broken.

Hotel Italia e Lido offers an excellent, central location; comfortable rooms with great views; and a large, well balanced breakfast buffet served in a lovely setting. Our room, while not large, had a very comfortable king bed and a small balcony with a view of Rapallo's lungomare, its castle, the Gulf of Tigullio and some great sunsets. The room rate, while not inexpensive, was fair and reasonable. We swam in the Gulf from the little beach between the hotel and the castle and walked virtually anywhere we wanted to go in Rapallo within 15 to 20 minutes at the most. A memorable experience in a place we hope to visit again.
