Stayed in this hotel for a night and was quite disappointed. For starters the parking information is misleading, there is no parking near the hotel and it's not free, you need to reserve in advance, if you don't you'll have to look for parking in the street.
The staff at night was not properly informed of helpful in any way, i had to wait for the next day to get the promised free internet access. The breakfast was basic and poor, made me think if i'd better go outside and pay for a proper breakfast. The room furniture is old but decent and clean. The nearby church bell was heard quite loudly.

The Cavour Hotel in Rapallo is a few blocks in a straight line from the railway station and just a few blocks from the sea - ideal location! I'm not sure if there are rooms with seaside view but I got a large double room in the back of the building. It was quiet (though at some point I could follow the conversation between the people in the room next door - the walls seemed quite thin to be honest) and clean. The bathroom was OK except that the main light was broken (I did have a smaller light above the sink though, which was enough for me; my bathroom at home is quite dark too so I'm used to it :-)). The bed was comfortable and I had a good night's rest. The staff was very friendly too, providing me all information in French (they spoke English too). Breakfast was ok but not much variety. Croissants, (pre-packed) toast, cereals, yoghurt,... no fresh fruits though. I only stayed there for one night as I was passing through and that was just fine. I wouldn't recommend anyone to stay in Rapallo for a longer time as it's a little run-down and not so much to see compared to other villages such as Camogli, Portofino (uhm well, it's a little harder to get there and probably more expensive too) and the Cinque Terre villages. The hotel though is more than fine!

It's a typical 3 star hotel, no frills, standard bed, bathroom. If you are staying in Italian Riviera stay in Camogli, it's just SO lovely and smaller and no cars. Rapallo is bigger and lots of traffic and the restaurants and nights life is nothing in comparison to camogli. I regret staying in Rapallo when so many other lovely places. There is a tower clock that goes off every hour, and then every 17 minutes after the hour, starting about 6am right through til 9pm or so at night. If you want a relaxing sleep in holiday, DON'T STAY IN RAPALLO!!! It was SO annoying! No wifi.

We loved our stay here. Friendly staff, who can recommend great places to see and eat. The room is clean, quiet and comfortable. The beach is around the corner. Take a boat to Portofino. We stayed in the junior suite with two kids. There is an awesome local restaurant near by which the staff recommended - don't miss it: O Bansin, at Via Venezia 105.
