Cavalier, understandard - generally a hotel that's seen far better days! Having spent the best part of the last 5 years travelling the globe and staying in justified 5 star resorts and hotels - I have to say the Imperiale Palace is very wide of the mark. On arrival we were met with arrogant staff who had tried to give... More

Good, well appointed hotel with large rooms for the location. Excellent level of service. The gardens, pool and seafront are small and must get crowded in high season but space is a premium this close to Portofino. My only complaint is that the bars and restaurants all run separate tabs and have different wine lists so there is unnecessary hassle... More

Myself and my partner stayed in this hotel for a long Easter weekend. The weather was really bad when we arrived but the next morning dried up well. We went for breakfast and I think it was the best service and choice we've ever had. We could not praise the breakfast anymore, it was great everyday and the waiters couldn't... More

While the hotel is a little dated, the staff makes up for it in a big way. The staff was wonderful and very helpful. The breakfast was great, and the pool was the nicest in the area. Anyone who is writing a bad review should know that when you are booking an older hotel it is going to be a... More

This hotel probably was once a five star hotel, but times have now moved forward. Perhaps the only things that could be described as five stars are the prices especially for food and drink, plus of course the view. By logging on to the hotels website, http://www.imperialepalacehotel.it very professional glossy photographs will tempt most people to want to stay here... More

Well, let's start with the inevitable - this place is expensive. But then EVERYTHING in this area is expensive. We had a long talk with a local taxi driver who explained that 'the season' on the riviera isn't for ever, and they have to make a year's salary in basically 6 months, so 5 star seasonal resorts have to charge...

This says its a five star hotel but in any other country it would be three star. It's basically a rather faded grand old hotel and though in some ways perfectly decent - I found the staff perfectly pleasant with a friendly and helpful receptionist, and the breakfasts are good - but in others it just doesn't make the grade....

My wife and I spent a few nights at the Imperiale Palace on a recent trip to Italy. It is privately owned and it shows in how the staff treats you! We had an amazing room overlooking the Ligure Sea.

This was our third stay at the Imperiale Palace. The room was beautiful. The view was spectacular from our room just like always. But then the experience started going downhill. Our experience with the lifeguards at the beach was quite shocking compared to past experiences where service was always five star treatment. One day we chose one set of lounge... More

Hubby and me wanted to make the 2 days in Portofino unforgettable, that's why we selected this hotel. There was only one room left and it was defined as "room at ground level". However, as soon as we entered the room, we were frustrated as it was "underground level". We wanted to upgrade our room, but it was fully booked... More
