"Check in was good. Quick and efficient. Room was a bit strange. Looked directly into the internal courtyard . Layout was not ideal. Pillows a bit hard. Property is nice in a very good part of town. "
Hotel Continental Genova
10/10 Excellent
"Stayed only one night before a cruise. Good location next to the main station and buses. Amazing old style lift. Room was great and loved the hanging hot air balloons. Shower was amazing and bed was comfy after a long day travelling and sightseeing.
Even though it seems close we got a cab to the cruise terminal organised by reception when we checked out, it arrived within 2 minutes and took us straight to luggage drop off which was the best choice."

Imperiale Palace Hotel
10/10 Excellent
"Breakfast was wonderful and included in our stay"
Tower Genova Airport Hotel & Conference Center
4/10 Poor
"I usually do not write reviews. But my stay here left me with a bad taste in my mouth. The hotel looks very nice from the outside and is super well located. Inside though, it has a very creepy feeling and the staff just felt off. As a young woman traveling for me is scary by itself. It did not help that while I was trying to take a shower, a man tried to break into my room and was banging my door down. I called the emergency service in the hotel and by the time they came the man was gone and therefore nothing was done. It might sound dramatic but this was definitely a traumatizing experience. If you are a solo traveler, I wouldn’t recommend."
Hotel Miramare
10/10 Excellent
"The hotel was absolutely clean, but the star of the show with the staff as the staff was so nice the ones in the restaurant and especially the front desk. Thank you so much to all the team at hotel Miramar."
