September 2023 Our reservation was cancelled by hotel Riviera’s staff the day before we were going to check into the hotel. Their initial given reason was that it was a technical problem. We called them and they said it was because of a broken window. They booked us into another hotel without any consultation. When we arrived in Rapallo we went into the hotel they booked us into and they had no knowledge of reservations made by Hotel Riviera. It was very stressful especially finding hotel they booked us in was of a much lower quality without the location and sea view we had booked and confirmed with Hotel Riviera months prior. We went to Hotel Riviera and spoke with staff who informed us that we were canceled because they had overbooked our room and that the new guests were staying for the more expensive nights. This situation should never have come about if Hotel Riviera had honoured our confirmed booking. We wrote a complaint to Hotel Riviera and requested a response and to this date no response has been received. We hope that Expedia investigates this unethical practice. We would not recommend Hotel Riviera to anyone due to there being absolutely no guarantee they would honour any future reservations, confirmed or not.

Nice location, terrible customer service
This hotel is in a great part of the city, across from the beach and port. However, upon arrival, my friend and I were greeted by the rude receptionist, a brunette with glasses. I asked if we could check in early and she quickly said no. Then I asked if we could check our bags in at least and she just motioned her hand over to the side. Did not even get up and give us a number/tag. I had to do everything and hope it was right. Really terrible customer service. Otherwise, the room was ok. Beds were uncomfortable and we each only had a sheet to cover up with. It was nice to have an ocean view though. 4/10 for me.

Amazing! Must stay here! We stayed at this hotel for 3 nights and have so many good things to say. The staff was so nice and helpful with directions/transportation, very clean, the included breakfast was great lots of options and it’s right on the waterfront so close to everything - 5 min walk to the train station or the boat transportation. 10/10

Great location
Location was perfect, walking distance to everything. The only thing I was not happy was when I first arrived. The room was warm and the batteries on the remote were burnt, like literally damaged burnt on the ends. I brought both issues to the woman at the front desk and all she can say is to ask the people tomorrow. She made no effort to help, I felt like I was a bother... basically she was rude! But the next day, another guy was at the front desk and he was great! He even asked if he could make dinner reservations for me. The lady that checked me out was also very friendly. The room was still warm, but thank goodness I was able to open the windows. It brought a nice cool breeze to the room.

The location of the hotel is excellent, on the front overlooking the Ligurian Sea. Central Rapallo isn’t large; restaurants, bars etc are all within easy walking distance. The train station is less than 10 minutes on foot. The main road along the sea front in Rapallo runs to the side of the hotel and although usually busy, the noise of the traffic is not intrusive. The staff at The Riviera are very friendly and helpful; nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast was simple but adequate. The bedroom my wife and I had booked was comfortable but not plush; it didn’t encourage us to linger although it was ok for somewhere to put our heads down for the night. Whilst not the height of luxury, for the price The Riviera Hotel isn’t a bad place from which to explore the Ligurian Riviera.
