Top hotels in Centro Est
Bristol Palace Hotel
Breakfast is amazing! Staff was great. Andre at the front desk was very helpful with recommendations and booking dinner reservations. We were a family of 8 with 3 rooms. The hotel is in a great location to shops, dining and transportation. Highly recommend staying here.

Hotel Astoria
The property is new and very clean. The amenities are nice. Simone was super friendly and helped us with many questions. Honestly, the rest of the staff, not so much. The area is nice for walking around despite the busy traffic. Everything closes at 8 except fine restaurants that you need a reservation ...

Hotel Continental Genova
The way Geneo was marketed and the reality are two completely different things. The area around the hotel is extremely dangerous and filthy. They advertise free parking and that is not true. We were nervous to be outside after dark. There is no way I would ever return.

B&B HOTEL Genova Principe
Great location, friendly and helpful staff, and clean and comfortable bedroom (ask for one on back of building for less noise). The only minor complaint is a mold stain in the shower, which should be removed.

Imposing modern hotel handily placed for exploring Genoa. Very welcoming staff who take care of your needs. Excellent breakfast provided to get you started. On the expensive side, but highly recommended.
