Pre cruise stay
Decent place to stay pre cruise as the cruise terminal is only 10 mins drive away. Genoa aquarium is in similar distance. Room was clean but bathroom a bit dirty. Overall service was average. Breakfast selection was not great. We didn’t try any other meal here.
Hotel good, location not so much
The Novotel Genova City is a fine place to stay if you are to catch a cruise ship. If, like us, you are thinking of walking into the old town to see the sights, forget it - the traffic is a nightmare and the area around the hotel is pretty unappealing. There didn’t seem to be anything open nearby on a Wednesday night. Checkin staff were polite and friendly - what we have come to expect from most Novotels in which we’ve stayed. The room was fine. The ambience in the bar was OK but the drinks were fabulous. We ordered a couple of martinis (you have to ask for a ‘Martini cocktail’ in Italy or you’ll get a vermouth) and enjoyed them so much, we had to order two more. I think the barman’s name was Marco - thanks for a fabulous martini cocktail. With nothing open nearby, we decided to eat in the hotel restaurant - good move. The 25€ buffet looked pretty ordinary so we decided on a la carte. We ordered a bulgar salad, a pasta with pesto (Trofie alla Genovese) and a costate de bovino. The salad and the pasta were delicious and the bowl was deep so we both got some to eat. The steak was perfect with baked potatoes. Breakfast next morning was not bad but, unfortunately, the coffee was disgusting.
Enjoyable but improvement needed
We stayed twice at the Novotel in Genoa. The 1st time it poured rain and both rooms and the evacuation doors leaked like a sieve. Both times the carpet needed vacuuming in the rooms and the foyer bar areas. If not they need to be replaced. I dusted two cushioned chairs to sit on and plumes of dust came off them. But, staff on the front desk were excellent and you couldn't want for more. The lunchtime buffet was great and breakfast was excellent with a big variety to offer. Coffee and tea in all rooms would be better than just in some rooms. Yes I would go back again, but the carpet and water leaks need to be addressed.
Nothing outstanding but pleasant feeling
Friendly staff, large room well soundproofed. Reasonable price for buffet style dinner. Buffet breakfast was not exceptional and a bit too expensive but still acceptable. Room could be kept until noon which is rather unusual and practical.
Very good hotel
The location has a beautiful view. The chamber is well organized and it's very clean. The bathroom is good with a very good shower. The TV is not very good: old model with limited screen and channels available. Could be improved the breakfast
