Top Italian Riviera Hotel Reviews

Bristol Palace Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel Bristol Palace, Genoa — A Beautiful, Central Stay with Old-World Charm We had a wonderful stay at Hotel Bristol Palace in Genoa. The location is outstanding—right in the heart of the city and within easy walking distance of the historic center, shops, restaurants, and major sights. It made exploring Genoa effortless. The hotel itself is elegant and full of character. The classic interiors, grand staircase, and beautifully maintained public spaces give it a genuinely special atmosphere that feels far more memorable than a typical modern hotel. Our room was comfortable, clean, and spacious, and the staff were consistently friendly, professional, and helpful with recommendations. Breakfast was excellent, with a good variety of options, and the on-site restaurant was a pleasant bonus. Valet parking was also convenient for a central Genoa hotel. If you want a well-located, charming, and comfortable base for exploring Genoa, Hotel Bristol Palace is an easy recommendation. We would happily stay here again. Alfred Hitchcock was right."

Excelsior Palace Portofino Coast

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is a grand hotel built with other grand hotels throught Europe at the turn of the 20th century with the relatively new railroad providing comfortable "speedy" travel compared to ships and horse drawn carriages. The hotel keeps its historic charm with its architecture, antiques and paintings throughout but has been recently updated with all modern amenities. The staff is very professional and there is excellent room cleaning. The hotel has a commanding view of the Portofino Coast from Rapallo to Portofino and South towards Sestri Levante that one of the best in Italy. The Beach Club is right on the water with a heated infinity pool and spa. (Similiar to Santa Caterina in Amalfi and much nicer than the crowded ones in Capri.) It is a short pretty walk by the marina to Rapallo that is a vibrant Italian town. Nearby Portofino used to be a beautiful fishing village but gets overwhelmed with tourists and cruise ships. Rapallo has kept itself more authentic with more Italians than foreigners. We stayed here 3 times this year and plan to return."

The Poet Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean hotel, the breakfast buffet was good. Lots of fresh fruits, meats, cheeses and good coffee. The room was clean. The staff were all friendly and helpful - especially the front desk ladies they were wonderful. Close to the train, food location. Would stay here again"

Hotel Firenze E Continentale

"El hotel es excelente... menos de 5 minutos caminando de la estación del tren. El desayuno incluido sensacional. Las habitaciones confortables y limpias. El personal del hotel muy amable y dispuestos a servirte y ayudarte.! 100% recomendable para tu estadía visitando las Cinque Terre (el mejor punto de partida para este plan)."

Hotel Piccolo Portofino

8/10 Good

"Son emplacement est super, personnel super gentil. Pour y être allée en 2014, je trouvais qu'il manquait d'amour au niveau de la déco. Une petite mise à jour s'imposerait peut-être. Sinon très bien"

CDH Hotel La Spezia
