Hotel Stella Rapallo

I had a brief stay here while visiting Portofino. The location is great. It’s across the street from a grocery store and only 5-10 minute walk from the train station. The staff are very friendly and the rooms were clean. I stayed in a very small single room which was very clean and met all my needs. WiFi was good as well.

Lovely hotel with a great location. Easy access to town and beachfront with cafes restaurants and shops. Easy access to ferry to visit Portofino which can be reached in half an hour with a stop at Santa Margherita if you wish . Good parking garage. Good breakfast with great coffee. Rooms were adequate size for three people clean and comfortable. Would recommend

Lovely hotel in a great location near to shops and restaurants and only 3 minutes walk to the beautiful sea-front promenade. Our room was on the top floor - small elevator up to 4th floor and a few steps further to the 5th - with direct access to the large shared terrace, which had an amazing view and was the perfect place to relax with a drink and a good book in the late afternoon sun. The room itself was large and clean, with a very comfortable bed, TV, air-conditioning, and good-sized fridge that chilled our drinks perfectly. We didn't take advantage of the breakfast option, so can't comment on the range/quality, but we did enjoy a lovely limoncello from the bar one evening, and also gratefully accepted a couple of espressos when we first arrived and were waiting for the room to be ready - a lot earlier than the official check-in time, thanks to the extremely helpful staff. Actually, the number of reviews mentioning the helpfulness of the staff was one of the main reasons we chose this hotel for our stay, and I have to agree. Even before we arrived, Lucrezia was so helpful in arranging our transfer from Genoa airport, and also recommended and booked a restaurant for our first night's meal (a special one for my husband's birthday). Thank you to everyone at Hotel Stella - we had a truly amazing stay and would highly recommend!

Lovely hotel. Had a truly restful and enjoyable stay. Had a room at the front of the hotel with a balcony. Spacious and comfortable with a good shower. Free parking outside the hotel. The staff were lovely. Spent a while talking to Giovanni in the reception who was really friendly and knowledgeable. Very close to the town centre - just a short pleasant walk. Highly recommended. Pleasant bar area also.

Room dark and damp. Bedspread smelled like dirt. On day 3 a smell of drain appeared; bathroom window was not open. I asked for a new room, twice. I was firmly rejected. I cannot recommend anyone to stay here. I do not recall I have tried worse.

Small hotel at a busy junction but a great base for exploring the beautiful town and surrounding areas . Short walk to the train station and to the seafront and ferry to local towns . Rooms a little dated but very comfortable , spotlessly clean, with air conditioning , a small fridge, a safe and a well maintained bathroom with very good quality towels . Noisy traffic outside but good quality double glazing soundproofed the room . Small roof terrace was a nice space to relax and take in the sea views after a busy day sightseeing Continental breakfast was good with very good freshly made coffee . The staff were the stars in this hotel , they were welcoming , friendly and happy to help with trying to organise trips . Their recommendations for lesser known areas to visit made our holiday . The lady who looked after us at breakfast was always friendly and welcoming despite our language barriers .
