Couldn't fault it.
Helvetia We loved everything about this hotel and we loved our flying visit to Genova. Although it was only one night we made many memories. The staff were fantastic. Nothing was too much trouble. We were lucky enough tostay in the apartment and it was truly amazing. Beds were comfortable and facilities were excellent. Breakfast was delicious and great quality. Even a machine for freshly squeezed orange juice! It was very central and we walked the winding streets to see an incredible array of little local shops and historic landmarks. For simple pasta the hotel staff recommended Gaia and we were not disappointed. Thank you Helvetia. One day we hope to return.
Great
Well, the staff are so friendly and very polite, even though I don't speak Italian, I would certainly recommend this hotel as it's ideally situated to everything. Rooms are spacious and the bathroom is good too and I cannot fault anything about this hotel .!
Excelent
This hotel is perfect for discover Genova, great location for walk around the city or take the metro, everything works as they offer, great staff, they find a solution for everything I need. Great place.
Excellent value for money!
We are a group of 6 friends who travel away every year. Found this hotel after doing some research and we can heartily recommend it for value for money. Excellent staff who offered well informed guidance about places to see and restaurants to eat at. Thanks Christina! The rooms are a little dated but were spotless with plenty of towels. The breakfast was a buffet and had lots of choices no hot food but still very good with lots of fresh pastries and a very lovely lady who will make you an espresso/cappuccino if you ask her nicely! It is situated in an excellent place very near the harbour and is in fact opposite the very beautiful Vastato church. Slight negatives are the rooms on the front can be very noisy as it on a main road and one of my bugbears no hook in the bathroom to hang your clothes on whilst you shower. Such a simple thing but absolutely necessary when most showers seem to leak and finally the only English channel is Bloomberg which is probably the most boring TV station out there. Couldn't we get BBC world or if nothing else is available CNN. Highly recommended.
Friendly and helpful staff-Comfortable hotel-Good location
The building was old like most of the historic buildings in Genoa but indoors was comfortable and modern. Excellent location in the historic centre very close to the main railway station and to the bus stop to the airport and 15 minutes walk to the old port with lots of restaurants to choose from. Staff was great, excellent customer service and very helpful all the time. The reception was open 24 hours. there was a small fridge and the hotel would provide a bottle of water every day as a compliment. The room was spacious and clean and the bathroom with toiletries and hot running water every time. The towels were very clean and changed every day. The breakfast was open from 6 to 10 and it was buffet style with lots of different choices to eat from. The lady at breakfast was very friendly and she would make coffee according to personal preference. And Genoa was a surprising city with beautiful palaces and medieval buildings to see and a beautiful port where to go for a stroll after dark with bars and restaurants and people watching. Here, like all around Italy, the gastronomy and the wines are wonderful. Just opposite the hotel is a beautiful church worth to visit with amazing frescos (L'Annunziata). And only about an hour to beautiful Portofino, Rapallo and Santa Margherita Ligure for a day trip and lovely surroundings.
