Hotel Continental Genova

-We booked this last minute so we could go to Cinque Terre for the day and still be closer to the airport for our departure the next day, and we were very happy with it! -We were lucky to get a free upgrade to an executive suite. We also had a bottle of rose on ice and a complimentary bottle of water. -The view of the train station square was nice, although you could only see it with the window/doors open and looking that way. -Pretty large bathroom with tub & rain shower -The bed/pillows we’re in top 2 most comfortable on our trip, which was nice on our final night for our tired and sore bodies (we are seriously getting old!). I think I would have rated this hotel #1 and hubby rated #2. -City tax €3/person/night -Parking was 25 euros! But, they park it for you and bring it back when you need it. -We didn’t book breakfast, so when we checked in, they offered us a “discounted rate” of €10/person if you book breakfast at check in vs. €12/person if you decide later. We didn’t end up getting it, but she told us it was a large American breakfast buffet. -elevator is ancient - it felt like we were in the tower of terror elevator. Really cool, but a tad difficult to manually open & close two spring loaded doors at the same time with two big suitcases and carrying a bunch of other things. -Walkable to the marina

A two night stop over as part of a five week vacation in Italy. Perfect location to the train station, harbour facing room top floor, no complaints. The buffet breakfast was outstanding and service from all staff exceptional. The issue I had was with Genova at night. I did not feel safe (of all the cities I have explored during his trip at all times of the day/night) If you are wanting to dine out or explore take a cab. Two other guests were in from of me in the first night walking ahead and were mugged. I had been walking on my own prior and felt very unsafe in the laneways and side streets around the port and main streets from the hotel. Be careful, aside from that, an interesting city and great shopping. Penny

Great location. Once you get over that there are two hotels and the check-in for one closes at 11pm and you need to use the nicer hotel for check-in. There was a stale smell in the room and the cleaning crew fixed it within 30 minutes after we told them. Hostess Mounia at breakfast is a buzy bee. She was considerate and yet swift in servicing and replenishing things which ran out. Started out bad and we warmed up to this hotel. The location is great and most places are close by. The Euro 25 for parking per day is a bit too much.

Very confortabile, well located, forthcoming and courteous staff

Very cosy and stylish (old style) hotel, clean and well located close to the castle and Via Garibaldi. Great breakfast!!!
