Top Genoa Hotel Reviews
Tower Genova Airport Hotel & Conference Center
"We only stayed one night for exploring Genoa and to leave for an early morning flight. Staff were lovely and the hotel was nice (if a little dated). The only downside is difficulties getting in and out of Genoa itself. We went for the evening and got the airlink bus to the train station and then came home at 11pm and there were no more airlink shuttle services and no taxis so we needed to do a dark walk in a not so nice area back to the hotel. Otherwise a great stay."
Bristol Palace Hotel
"A must stay for anyone visiting Genova! Class all around."
Hotel Continental Genova
"We were moved to the Grand hotel Savoia next door. Which was stunning and a lovely stay. This was a free upgrade. Not sure why but not complaining!"
Hotel Astoria
"Very cool property: location and interior"
AC Hotel Genova by Marriott
"The hotel looks modern and clean and our room has plenty of space and looked nice. I think some of the photos are a bit misleading, as the roof terrace isn't that large. The hotel is located a bit from the centre of Genova, so too far to walk. There isn't many restaurants in the locality, but there is a supermarket next door. There is a car park underground, but it is rather small and space is not guaranteed. Overall, it is a nice hotel, and if you have a car then worth staying here."
Best Western Hotel Metropoli
"Excellent service from staff, very pleasant. Lovely breakfast. Floor of our room extremely dusty in the corner near the end table as well as under the end table near my bed."
NH Collection Genova Marina
"Great hotel in the marina. Very clean, comfortable and modern. I highly recommend this hotel. Has on site underground parking for 25 euros a day. Very safe. Great price. Plenty of restaurants with in walking distance. Would stay again."
B&B HOTEL Genova Principe
"The room had strong cleaning odor, yucky category. At least we a a window that opened. The TV was spotty. Not good. The breakfast low quality. The cleaning ladies and the reception staff were great. Good location for busses."
THE SEVEN GENOVA
"Spacious, cool, clean, well-equipped apartment for 2 adults & 2 children, close to metro stop, aquarium, old town etc. No staff at front desk: We had to contact them a few times to arrange check-in after midnight, then for check-out no one returned our messages so we just left the keys on the living room table!"
