The hotel itself is very outdated and desperately in need of some upgrades and renewal ( for example, bed mattresses are lumpy and thin, bathroom supplies are bare minimum, some floors covered in artificial grass carpeting … just overall odd). For the nightly rate, you would expect a little more — even for a European hotel room. That being said, the staff are very friendly and attentive and the complimentary breakfast was wonderful.

Grand hotel
What a nice hotel. A lovely old building but beautifully maintained in a quiet part of Rapallo. Friendly helpful staff; a good quality self-service breakfast and free parking all made for an enjoyable hassle free stay. To get to the main part of the town from the hotel it is about a ten minute walk through a park. If visiting Rapallo again we will definitely book this hotel.

Nice hotel in a wired location
If ever you find yourself in Pontevera, then this is probably the best place to stay. The hotel is nice enough, but the surroundings have no redeeming features. The only attraction is the Piaggio Museum nearby. My only other comment is why does this hotel exist?

Dear Sir, we kindly inform you that your review is not referring to our Hotel. We are Hotel Canali and we are in Rapallo (Ligury), not in Pontedera (Tuscany). Kindest regards.

Dissapointingly average
This was our last bit one stop on our French Italian road trip & was the most expensive & only dissapointing one of the trip. The staff were lovely and rooms were comfortable, but it was a very tired looking hotel in places & in need of some refurbishment. Also we really didn't like the resort of Rapallo either. It was crowded, noisy & scruffy. This was obviously just not our taste as it seemed like a super popular resort!?

Hotel unsuitable for disabled petsons
This hotel is unsuitable for disabled people. The management has no compassion and no understanding of people's need. My poor husband has Parkinson's and found this hotel extremely unsuitable. The management would not refund our credit card. I am extremely angry as my husband has not recovered from this terrible experience. The hotel does not have a restaurant. This is a very difficult property for those with disabilities. Actually this is the first time I have posted a review. I have contacted my credit card company and i am now being informed by them that I have been charged four orcfive times by this hotel. Although I had paid for the whole trip in three separate bookings.

Dear Sir, as you know our Hotel is fully accessible for disabled people, who can therefore stay with their family. In our parking there is a reserved parking lot for disabled that is close to a ramp through which it is possible to enter directly into the Junior Suites corridor. Through the elevator is possible to reach all the other floors and, in particular, the lift leads to the floor with the reception, the breakfast room, the sitting room, the Tv room, the terraces and the garden without barriers.The width of the lift with the door open is 75 cm and the depth of the lift is 115 cm. The Agency's reservation was made bad for a classic room , dividing the 9 nights stay on three different rooms(why?), and more without pointing out the serious health problems of the customer and making reservations with a non-refundable prepaid formula. So this is only responsible the Agency not the Hotel. We have helped clients with physical, motor problems, in any way. Their relatives who accompanied and "left" thanked us for our assistance. The sick client has been lost repeatedly by avoiding the little guard of the private guard and we found for her. In the description of the Hotel we do not mention the restaurant in the Hotel but we have a convention with restaurant just a few hundred meters away from the hotel we have proposed to the customer even with taxi service. We have assisted the customer with the utmost commitment, We are sorry for writing not exactly from the Guest.

Fantastic Birthday / Engagment Holiday !
We had a superb welcome with such lovely staff, who felt like friends. We had a fabulous room with two balconies, a sea view and beautiful surroundings. Easy to get into seafront of Rapallo...walking only took 10 mins. Everything around that we needed. Very peaceful back at hotel in evening, as just off beaten front track of madness. We loved every minute of our holiday and would go back again. Absolutely couldn't fault it. Thank you for a fab holiday...we went for my 50th birthday, and came back engaged too !! Brilliant XXX

Bad if you value a good night sleep
The hotel sounded good on hotels.com. but when we checked into our room there were two things that really annoyed us. 1. We could not get any sleep cause the walls are too thin and we could here very thing that our neighbours were saying. Everything ! 2. We could not sleep cause the bed sheets were of subpar quality and it felt like something was biting at us. Bed sheets were itchy...not good. No sleep makes for a bad vacation. Hence I give this hotel a very bad rating

Well maintained charming hotel
I don't think a hotel in Rapallo with parking is easy to come by. Luckily this hotel was more that just their parking lot. The staff was incredibly welcoming and helpful. You can purchase ferry tickets directly at the front desk that will take you to Santa Margherita and Portofino. If you drove, plan on just leaving your car and taking a nice stroll into town. Getting into town is easy, but coming back is a little tougher uphill. Our room did not have a balcony, but the windows fully opened for a great view of the fireworks. Without knowing we happened to stay at the perfect time during the feste at the beginning of July. The rooms were very spacious. I loved the large chunky door keys and the decor matches the era of the hotel perfectly. You know your in a luxury hotel when you have a bidet in your bathroom. The shower was a bit tight for such a large room, larger travelers may even have difficulty getting in the shower. I saw the jacuzzi and was planning on going in at night, but for some reason they do not allow changing the temperature and it wasn't warm.

Stopover from Cinque Terre to SanRemo
We stayed here as a stopover on our way to SanRemo.The girl at the desk who checked us in was not very pleasant,she seemed annoyed that we used hotels.com instead of booking directly with hotel.We didnt let that bother us as the hotel was outstanding'The town of Rapalla was a nice little place with plenty of restaraunts.The rest of the staff were very nice,parking was a little tight but you left your keys with the front desk & they moved your car if needed.Breafast was served also but not included in price.

Cute hotel!
Love this hotel! So cute and really sweet. Staffed 24 hours a day and the woman working at the front is really helpful. Located about 10-15 minutes away from the heart of the city so it's a little bit of a walk but there is parking and the walk is not bad.

Great hotel about a 15 minute walk into town. The only complaint is the shower. Don't know if it's a European thing but the tub was not enclosed at all which made it awkward to shower and not get everything wet. Also the hairdryer was somewhat inadequate. Other then that I would highly recommend.

Hotel is a beautiful old building with pretty grounds just outside the main town (10 minute walk) however staff were not overly friendly. Room was clean but our double bed was two singles pushed together. Breakfast was not great, €5 charge for orange juice, croissants were burnt.

The stylish authentic villa with some major flaws
Pros: good location, free parking, friendly staff, stylish authentic building with original decor Cons: small rooms, small bathrooms, old windows, no slippers I believe a four star hotel should have bigger rooms and bathrooms, provide bathrobes and slippers. The old windows are absolutely not soundproof. While birds morning songs are absolutely bearable, occasional scooters rattle is not. Also we have small ants in our room. They were not a big disturbance but.... On the bright side the 24/7 reception is friendly and welcoming and the stylish authentic original decor of the building common areas is a rare gem (even sterling silverware for breakfast). If it was presented as a three or three and a half star hotel I would give it 5 stars, but for a four star accommodation (and four star price) it lacks a lot.

Great base for the Italian Riviera
A romantic and charming classic hotel. Step back in time to the 1930's. A nice walk to the beach and ferry for rides to Portofino and Santa Margarita. Room is classic, we had a private terrace with an ocean view.

Pleasant holiday hotel
We stayed at Hotel Canali for three nights. We found it clean and comfortable with enormous free breakfast, free carparking and free wifi. We had room 21 which had double aspect windows and small balcony. It is a 10 minute stroll to Rapallo where there are good and well priced restaurants. We took return ferry to Portofino for walking and return train to Cinque Terra for walking which both worked well.

Wonderful, relaxing hotel
Hotel Canali, was a great pick. I was traveling with 3 other ladies and this was the last stop on a northern tour of Italy. Milan , Venice, Rome, Florence. It was the perfect place to finish off a busy trip. Peacefull, comfortable, clean, friendly staff. A very short walk from the main square, and an absolutely AMAZING breakfast. Would definitely stay here again. The best part free slippers!
