Hotel Cavour
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Hotel Cavour is a fair choice if you want the lowest reference price among our Rapallo picks and a central, walkable base. For about €18 more a night, though, our Best Value pick scored much higher, so compare both before you book.

Our Budget pick for Rapallo is a three-star hotel with 8.1 out of 10 from 1,275 guest reviews.
It suits train travellers, beach walkers and anyone who wants restaurants on the doorstep. Family rooms are listed and the hotel is tagged as pet friendly, which helps families and pet owners.
Skip it if a hot breakfast is part of your morning routine, since guests say the spread lacks hot food. It is also the lowest-scored hotel of the six we compared, so expect a simpler stay than our other two picks.
Location and getting around
The address is Galleria Raggio 20. Guests describe a central pedestrian zone within walking distance of the train station, the beach and restaurants. The location score is 9.3 out of 10.
The sights in our data are all far on foot. The Sanctuary of Our Lady of Montallegro is 3.1 km, about 39 minutes as a straight-line estimate. San Fruttuoso Abbey is 5.6 km, about 70 minutes, and Christ of the Abyss is 5.8 km, about 73 minutes. Use public transport or a taxi to reach them.
Because the hotel sits in a pedestrian zone, check how to arrive by car and where to park. Neither is confirmed in our data.
What guests say
Staff stand out. Guests describe a friendly, professional team available around the clock to help with luggage and local advice.
The location is the other strong point, with the station, beach and restaurants all walkable.
Breakfast draws criticism. Sweet and savoury options such as croissants are there, but guests say the selection lacks hot food and fresh vegetables. Continental, Italian, gluten-free and buffet styles are listed.
