Overall, our stay was enjoyable. The location of the hotel was good for transport and main areas of Genoa. The area was not the quietest and was quite sketcy. Breakfast was fresh but not vast. Staff were friendly and the room was of good size for 3 people.

Good location, front desk staff helped coordinate a last minute early morning taxi for me to the airport which I appreciated.

Elevator is very small and slow, so being on the 8th floor created some frustration- they also mopped the floor and didn’t leave any signage creating a slip hazard.

Ideal location and pleasant stay

Ideally located and a very short walk to the port area. Complimentary breakfast which was a bonus. Rooms are not huge but this is not an issue if you're out most of the time anyway. Very friendly staff. It is worth asking reception to book a taxi if you're going to the airport (approx. €25).

Parking was tough but property is not far up a side street connected to the port main road, so we could park at the aquarium public parking and it was very short walk.
Very glad we stayed at this hotel vs others in Genoa downtown once we had walked the city some. This property is in one of the better / cleaner / safer feeling zones. The police station is literally next door so you get to see them pass by on patrol regularly.

The pizza place directly across the street had excellent pizza as well.

The room was great for 5 people, walkable to the water and to sites in town/food. We had a car and saw there was parking included. You need to drive through \"limited\" pedestrian areas to the front of the building, which our GPS's didn't want us to do. So it took some driving around to figure that out. We weren't sure if we were allowed to drive on the road in front, which we were. We weren't able to get the parking for free, our data was entered, but exiting of parking wasn't clearly explained, and we ended up being charged 20 Euros. We were told the car info was loaded onto the app, so when exiting parking, we didn't know we also had to use the ticket kiosk prior to exiting. When we did that, it charged us.
Other than driving to check in and parking exit, everything was great.
Breakfast was great, 4 euros per person, lots of variety and tasted great.

A great hotel deep in Genova's old port

The hotel is excellent - clean, comfortable, all the facilities you expect. The location is in a narrow street in the old port area of Genova, surrounded by bars and restaurants, close to the big waterfront attractions and the central chirces/palazzi/museums. It can be noisy outside at night, but the double glazed windows are effective. We had an enjoyable three night stay and would defintely stay again.

We booked a room that was supposed to have a balcony/patio as described \"1 King Bed- 226-sq-foot (21-sq-meter) soundproofed room with a balcony/patio\". We received a dark room without a balcony/patio. I asked the front desk what happened since our confirmation stated we were supposed to have a balcony, FD lady said \"this is only a request\" and insisted on saying the same thing although I showed her my cell with the confirmation... then she asked me to send her the email so it doesn't happen to anyone else... she could have focused on making it right to us, and not worry about future mishaps..

The Hotel is located in Genoa's Old Port district, which is full of narrow streets, bars and restaurants. In one direction it is a short walk from Genova Stazione Piazza Principe (very useful for exploring the beautiful Ligurian coast). In another direction it is short walk to the majestic central square of Piazza de Ferrari. The hotel itself is fully modern and very attractive, with efficient air conditioning and WiFi.

Ideal Family Location & Close to Amenties

Ideally located 3* hotel closely situated to the Port of Genoa, Aquarium and Maritime Museum. Piazza Principle train station is a 15-20 min. walk away if your looking to go further a field otherwise approx. €13 for 4 persons with luggage.

Hotel was clean; appears to have been recently redecorated and is in a clean condition. We had 2 rooms next to each other (not joined) on the 5th floor (8 floors in total). Views not brilliant - usually the wall of the next building, but the rooms themselves are generally spacious and functional. Got some good nights sleeps on the comfy beds, showers are simple gravity fed and temperatures due fluctuate due to water usage, tea & coffee making facilities, and there’s a good well stocked mini-bar available. We requested an iron and board which were

Staff really pleasant and helpful, and the lobby has a waiting area, internet access, free Wi-Fi (with reasonably good coverage), and info. re. the local area. Breakfast is €3/person which is really good value compared to what you’d pay in some of the Cafés; inc. ‘s hot and cold food.

There’s limited offering of food nearby but you can normally find something nearby. Otherwise head for the nearby Metro and after a few stops get off at ‘Piazza de Ferrari’ where along with the big name shops, you’ll also find more eating choices.

Be aware there’s a €1.50/person/night city tax to pay on checkout.

Overall an ideal location and a good base to explore the area.
