“Below Funky and Too Expensive”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 January 2010
2
people found this review helpful

We had a terrific view of the beach and promenade through 8 foot tall windows with old fashioned shutters. The sound of the waves on the beach were soothing. The staff was friendly and slightly fluent in English.

This grande dame of the promenade was built around 1880 and has had minimal maintenance ever since. The modern bathroom was small and cheap; there was not even a soap tray in the tiny shower. The floor is original parquetry that has shrunk and come loose, creaking and sagging as one walks; when a person in the adjoining room walks, it sounds as though they are in your room. The floor leans. We had to walk up four flights of stairs because the elevator was waiting for repairs; the staff carried our bags with great grunting.

We spent the night trying not to roll off the bed and onto the floor. The lighting is poor and the desk had no light whatsoever. Electrical outlets were at a premium.

“Once it must have been beautifull”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 October 2009

people found this review helpful

This Hotel has several interesting features:
- is located very close to the highway exit and the airport
- has a wonderfull sea view
- has a private parking (nearly vital in towns like Genova)
- is located not far (400m) from a bus-boat stop (it take 30min to get to the town center)
- the building once was a noble family private mansion, you can still feel the old magnificence of the place

However it seriously needs a full restoration and redecoration, the rooms are old (wooden floor, bathroom, furniture) therefore do not expect luxury or fancyness.
But I still recomend it, because you cannot find all this for the price they usually ask, the staff is gentle and the breakfast room, service and food is good.

“A Touch of Old Fashioned Class!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 April 2009
2
people found this review helpful

Former residence of local aristocracy, this Grand Hotel has retained an air of old fashioned charm. Very convenient and cheaper for visiting Genoa, Portofino e other resorts on the Italian Riviera, spotlessly clean, and near the airport. Located in Pegli, a quiet, elegant residential area, with many shops and a lovely promenade.

“Steer clear!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 August 2008
3
people found this review helpful

The Hotel Mediterranee is a mediocre hotel in a terrible location. It's in the seedy Pegli section of Genoa, relatively close to the airport but that's ALL this place has going for it. The beach across the street is grimy, the street it's on is rather scary and very noisy. The front desk staff was about a personable as a lump of clay and just as helpful. We stayed there for one night on our way through to Verona, thinking it would be relatively convenient to go to Cinque Terre the next day. We should have kept driving.
