I needed a hotel that was close to the Principe train station but also not far from Porto Antico, where my husband was working. This hotel ended up being just right. We did not have a car, so had no parking needs, and wanted to be relatively close to walkable/public transportation sites. The good: The price was great for what... More

This hotel is a great location if you come to visit by car. Driving to and around Genoa is a great adventure or a nightmare. And finding parking place is the same. The city is literally built along a mountainside. Every flat piece of land to the sea is build up. So roads and streets are litereally multileveled. And this... More

The hotel is in a historical building (since 1700 or something like that). The room is small. The location is excellent, close to city center 5 min away, close to train station 5 min away. Very nice staff, always open for any questions. When we arrived the receptionist gave us a map and showed us the most important points of... More

Dear Mrs.Helen, Thank you so much for pointing out our strenghts, such as the central location (from here you can walk everywhere in the city, and you don't need cars and not even public transportation) and the welcoming staff (we always try to do our best to make our guests feel "at home"). I'm sorry you didn't find our continental... More

This hotel is great quality at a reasonable price for Genova. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The hotel manager Nedo had our room prepared in 20 minutes after arriving early from long flight from Australia. Our quad room with a double bed and two bunks on the fourth floor was comfortable and clean. The bathroom was small but... More

I loved the staff: the owner Nedo, the girls at the reception speak many languages, the breakfast waitress. The rooms are not big but very clean, the minibar has free water. Breakfast is a real dream: tipical focaccia genovese, fresh croissants and perfect cappuccinos. I stay there everytime I go to Genoa.

This was a great hotel. I had originally booked for a single room and my friend ended up joining me. It was no problem to change to a double on the day and we even got a balcony overlooking the square which was a fantastic perk. There was a mini fridge with 4 bottles of free water, clean bathroom, a... More

This is a budget hotel that gives you a really plesant stay in Genoa. Service is super good and they have free wifi for the guests.

Been in Italy 7 times before, this was maybe the best hotel ever: good location, friendly and skilled staff (their English was probably better than mine), air condition, breakfast table... Not to mention the price, which was suitable (or even cheap) for a low-budget traveller like me!

perfect location (in walking distance to piazza ferrari, porto antico, museums, train station), friendly and helpful staff, airconditionated rooms, complimentary water in minibar, average breakfast. so, if you are not looking for luxury, this is the best choice in genoa.
