Bristol Palace Hotel
Clean Room, a bit noisy, but not too much. The restaurant and bar are lovely, and Ivan, the bartender, remembered me from two years ago! The hotel could use a refreshing, but I love the vintage vibe! Will definitely stay here again!

Hotel Continental Genova
Best breakfast buffet we've had in Europe. The whole facility was extremely clean and the spa was wonderful after a long day of sightseeing. Staff was very friendly and very accommodating to our requests, such as a late check out. It was a wonderful stay.
