What others said about the woman owner is not strong enough. She is the worst and should not be at the front desk. The late afternoon and evening workers are very nice and that helped make up for her rudeness. If you decide to stay here make sure you are not in rooms 24 or 40. The bathrooms in these... more

I stayed for four days at the hotel and found it to be clean and quiet but with no frills. The roof top terrace is fantastic and it has amazing views of the town. Location: It's about a 5 minute walk from the train station. Try and get directions before you leave because we got lost trying to find it... more

This hotel is a charming, well located facility. I believe it is family owned. The older woman (owner) was totally not friendly and not helpful. She offered no assistance or detail about the hotel. We had warm weather and was not told we needed to ask for the remote to turn the a/c on. The room was cleaned each day... more

Hotel is excellent value for Italian Riviera and proximity to Portofino and Cinque Terre. (which by the way are all very over-rated and some of the other towns like Rapallo and Santa Margherita are just as interesting but that's another topic I guess) Very clean and well-run operation. The rooms contain all the necessities you'll need including AC, satellite TV,... more

We've just returned from Italy and spent 4 nights in the Guilio Cesare. I chose it on price and after reading reviews on tripadvisor, but I really wish we'd paid a bit more and chosen the Excelsior or Riviera which looked really nice. Giulio Cesare is in a beautiful setting with views across the sea-and fantastic views from their (under-rated)... more

We stayed for three nights. The rooms were clean, beds comfortable, bathrooms adequate (although water tended to dry up at busy times). Staff were mainly fine but did not go out of there way to help and inform. Great position in lovely town. On a busy road so noisy at peak times. Decent reasonably priced way of staying at this... more

This past July we stayed here on the top floor with a triple for our three teenagers and a double for my husband and I. It was great. What a view from the rooftop porch of the hills, town, harbor and ocean. It was beautiful Italy. We spent all evening up there. My husband and kids also walked to the... more

This hotel was the lowest price hotel out of five that we stayed at on our recent vacation. We planned to use it as our base to visit Portofino. Not only was the hotel a great value, but the city of Rapallo was a pleasant surprise. The view from the rooftop solarium is excellent overlooking the bay. The hotel restaurant... more

My 2 sisters and I stayed one night here and I will never stay here again. I had stayed at this hotel several years ago and knew the layout. I had requested and been promised a room on the top floor with a view. When we arrived the "lady" in charge said she did not have a room there for... more
