"This review is for the Hotel Continentalโ€™s sister hotel, Hotel Grand Savoia, as we were upgraded to that hotel before arriving in Genoa. Check-in was seamless, the room was very well appointed with a super comfortable bed, and service was top notch. We almost missed checkout and our noon train departure time due to sleeping two hours later than planned due to the comfort and darkness (blackout shades) of the hotel room. This hotel, as well as the Continental, are steps away from the main train terminal in Genoa, and an easy walk to the terminal. We would definitely stay again if traveling through Genoa."

"The hotel entrance is a little hard to find and check in is on the 5th floor. The difficulty is with where gps leads you though and not the hotel itself although perhaps a detailed message with arrival directions would be helpful. Overall it was a clean hotel and nice for a night while we discovered Genova. We had hoped to enjoy the breakfast the next morning before continuing a long travel day but had a difficult time โ€œsigning upโ€ for it. We were told to scan a QR code and follow the prompts by 11pm - we did ask again where in our room the code could be found as we did not see it and they directed us to turn on the tv. It popped right up however we each had to scan and create an account to then pay for and get the vouchers. It was such a hassle that we gave up as the website was not very clear to us and truly we both did not want to sign up for accounts weโ€™d have to go and close. It would be much more convenient if the front desk offered a physical voucher to purchase directly from them. Otherwise from that, a nice stay and comfortable room."
