“We had a very comfortable stay and really enjoyed the hotel. A great bonus was being able to use the amenities of the neighboring 5-star hotel. The location is perfect, right next to the Genova train station. The only minor issue was the beautiful antique elevator, which was not always reliable because the doors had to be closed manually, and some guests did not do this properly, which occasionally meant the elevator would not work and we had to take the stairs instead. Overall, a great experience and we would happily stay again.”

“We had a fantastic time - ignore the bad reviews The rooms were extremely clean and had all the features you could ask for. Really nice staff who answered questions about the city helpfully and kindly The breakfast was very good and the lift is so cool! Only thing that could be complained about it is the service in the breakfast room, while the two waiters were very nice, there could have been more staff. Very child friendly hotel too Location is excellent - so close to the station while also a 5-10 min walk from the old town area”

“Small but lovely clean rooms, with clean towels and sheets, good water pressure. Some pieces of furniture could be easily removed for creating more space The staff is helpful, we had a tasty breakfast, it was a good one night stop for us. The city is another story, we had a long walk to the center and discovered a dirty and maybe a dangerous Genoa”
