Loved this place! The two owners Marco & Filippo (and their two Bassett hounds Zoe & Poldo) were very welcoming. Very good English and very easy conversationalists on everything (that's Marco & Filippo, not the dogs!)
The room was not the biggest in the world, but perfectly adequate with comfortable beds, small fridge, coffee machine, good in room wifi. Breakfast was a plentiful mix of cereal, cold cuts, pastries and excellent coffee. Less than 5 minutes walk from the train/bus station and some great local bars and restaurants nearby. Buses to Genoa hourly and to Santa Margharita (for Portofino) every 30 mins or so.
Highly recommended

Great find in a quiet street but near the centre

The reviews here don't lie. My experience matched what others here have said already. Lovely hotel. The room is very comfortable and clean. Quick 7 minutes walk from the train station. 

But beyond the lodging, it's the small touches and human connection make a difference, and this hotel gets a 10/10 for that. Very gracious hosts and super friendly. They go out of their way to make you feel welcome and comfortable. They even surprised me with a birthday gift for me and for that they get an A++. As if that was not enough the host custom made coffee for me. 

The only minor negative are the smelly dogs in the common area. I'm very sensitive to smell so this slightly bothered me, but dogs were very well behaved (I love dogs but these won't be ones I will go close to for reasons I mentioned). The good news is that you can totally avoid that minor annoyance if it bothers you too: the rooms / bathroom actually smelled good & dog allergen free. 

A++ super hosts. Lovely hotel 

Very nice, small and quiet hotel, situated on the little private street in the middle of Rapallo. Short walk to any place around . Very clean room, not too big but very comfortable . Cleaning service is just perfect. Abundant tasty breakfast, served inside or outside in the patio if weather allow. Despite the absence of dedicated parking under the door - you will be granted local parking permit to use at any white colored parking spot (including those limited to 1 hour) in Rapallo, and the parking at Piazzale Cile will usually have some vacancies - 200m from the door, 3 min walk.  Extremely friendly home atmosphere - you will feel at easy asking for any help, Marco's smile worth thousand words. Definitely recommended stay for family, single or couple.

Friendly home atmosphere in the center of Rapallo

4 of us stayed in here in one room (2 singles and bunk bed). Great coffee machine in the room. Location is perfect for exploring and space for the car in private garage round the corner was the main reason we chose here. breakfast was excellent, fresh and good choice. Marco was very friendly and great at replying and recommending things to do. great value would stay again.

perfect

Well located little hotel. We were welcomed by Marco and Idifex, the charming furry host. Very friendly and helpful proprietors.  The breakfast was fine and the coffee good.  We stayed for one night on our way to Puglia and would stay again if in the area.  Rapallo is a nice town and close to many other towns such as Santa Margarita Ligure 
 so it’s a good place to use as a base

Homey, dog friendly and lovely welcome

What a wonderful hotel! I felt like I was staying at a friends home. Don't let the 2 stars put you off, this is better than most 4 star hotels I've stayed at. Room was nicely decorated and equipped, everything was spotlessly clean and I've never had hosts this friendly before. Breakfast was simple but good.

The hotel doesn't really have any views, but it is well located for Rapallo, and a great location for exploring Portofino etc. The walk from Rapallo to Portofino is great.

Like staying at home

My family & I have been staying at this hotel for years when we travel during the summer. The owners Marco & Filipo are always very friendly and accommodating. Great location and an easy short walk to the boardwalk of Rapallo where there are lots of restaurants or just to sit and relax and people watch. Note: Pass the castle on the left is a small swimming area. People were going swimming at 9:30pm. Looks like fun and we will try it next year.

Great Boutique Hotel

Amazing little hotel, beautiful decoration, owners and workers are super nice. They did make sure that my family was having a great time, always willing to help and guide us thru Rapallo city. The breakfast was delicious. Highly recommend to everyone.
Daniel and family!

Best hotel in Rapallo! Staff very friendly 😍

We only stayed at this hotel for two nights and would how certainly go back.  It was an ideal place to stay, close to the station, the port, shops and some really good,  reasonably priced restaurants.  All the staff were brilliant, Marco recommended some really wonderful restaurants including a fantastic fish restaurant.  He was a wealth of knowledge of the area and helped up plan our all too short stay.  Breakfast was really good and can be eaten out in the garden.  The rooms have everything you could want and more.  If like us you like a smaller, more individual friendly hotel try this.  You won’t be disappointed.  Oh nearly forgot Idifix (? Not sure if spelling) the dog always had a warm welcome for us, really friendly. 

What a little gem

We had booked at another larger hotel, but changed to the Hotel San Desiderio shortly before our trip.  What a great decision!  The accommodations were wonderful.  Rooms creatively decorated by Felippo!  Our host, Marco made us feel at home.  He was so accommodating and helpful!  Breakfast was amazing as well.  Location was near both sea front and train station.  A gem complete with the best hospitality one can find!
