We had a nice stay. Staff was helpful, it's 5' walk from the aquarium and the Galata museum, very close to lots of local restaurants. Breakfaat was complete and super cheap (4€).

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.

We apologize if you had an unsatisfying experience. The air-conditioning is set at 23 as required by regulations. As for room service, we simply do not have it. We are a 3-star hotel. We'll look into the issues you've raised.

Difficult to find. Parking is across the Main Street. Parking is very difficult and so is driving on the very narrow roads. Breakfast was great.

The hotel itself was good and in a nice building. We asked (the day before) for a taxi to the airport for 5:00 am. One was never ordered and we had a terrible scramble in the morning. Stress we did not need. Also the area is mixed.

Thanks for the feedback. Apologies for the inconvenience caused. Unfortunately it is not possible to order the taxi in advance. The radio taxi is round the clock service and we call cab at the moment

The concierges, especially the men, are not able or do not want to help the customers with internet access, in the computers of the ground floor, or with tickets issues if there is a problem. They just don’t care. But, all possible problems remain for an English spoken Visitor/Tourist in Genoa.

Rooms are really small and mine didn’t smell nice. Staff are ok, did not wish to accommodate any of my requests. The hotel is situated in the old town which is nice but the road leading to the hotel via the port is very rough full of sketchy people and I felt really unsafe. So I won’t be returning to this hotel again.

Dear Jesin Thank you for completing the survey regarding your recent stay at our property. On behalf of all the staff, I would like to apologize for not exceeding your expectations. The location in the historic center has the advantage of having all the attractions of Genoa within walking distance but also some inevitable negative aspects. Hoping to have you again among our guests to be able to offer you a better experience than the one you have just lived, I take this opportunity to renew all my apologies following your complaints, Sincerely Carlo Torrigino Resident Manager

The location is terrific for walks through the Carrugi, restaurants, historical sites and more. If you get a room that opens to the Carrugi, expect noise at night. Italians dine and stay up late and the nearby bars and restaurants seem popular.

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.

Great location in the heart of Porto Antico and just steps from the waterfront. Minimal street noise. Most sights can be reached within walking distance and plenty of cafes, restaurants and bars are steps from hotel. Modern hotel inside a classic building. Very good buffet breakfast included in nightly rate. Fabulous staff.
