Hotel Continental Genova - Genoa

9.7

An excellant smaller type 5* Hotel with a personal touch and very central.Lovely spacious and quiet rooms and helpful staff. Highly recommended.

9.6

A great place to stay in Genova, although the parking is not very easy there...

8.9

For people travelling by train: hotel is 2 minutes from railway station, and not too far from city. This was our 2nd stay in the hotel.

7.2

I am a woman and I was traveling alone. The hotel itself is very nice but it did not seem like a safe area for me to be walking around at night (there were some streets that I was a little nervous during the day!) The hotel could only recommend one restaurant and it was just OK. I think it was really the only one that was close enough for me to walk to at night. I wouldn't stay here again. The employees were really wonderful and the hotel was just fine, but I did not like the location.

8.7

NB: l'hotel Continental era chiuso per ristrutturazione, perciò la clientela è stata dirottata sul vicino Grand Hotel Savoia ( cinque stelle ) allo stesso prezzo di quello del Continental ( quattro stelle ), Ciò è indice di serietà, Perciò il mio giudizio è riferito al Savoia e non al Continental.

9.4

While I booked the Hotel Continental, when I arrived I found a note on the door to go next door to their "sister" hotel Grand Hotel Savoya. The Continental was undergoing renovation. At first I was upset, but when I arrived at the Savoya and realized that it was a 5 star hotel, I was much happier. The hotel was truly beautiful. Just a couple of comments... 1) the first room we were given was taken. That should not have happened. 2) While the location was right near the train station (just what I wanted), if I ever stay in Genoa again, there are areas that I would prefer over this one. It didn't feel very safe. Overall, a very good stay though.

Is about to undergo a facelift. Reopening end of September. Partnership with Grand Hotel Savoia next door which has been completely renovated in its classic style. Reservation made for now are answered by the partner.

We stayed five days in Genova. The hotel was wonderful--very nice rooms, well appointed, spacious bathroom, and tasteful common areas. The breakfasts were the best of any hotel we've found in our trips to Italy. The location is perfect--easy walking to all the major museums and points of tourist interests. The staff were helpful, professional, and attentive to any requests.

7.8

From when I booked to when I stayed the hotel must have changed names, so I had a lot of difficulty finding the hotel, as I was driving and trying to see the name, so I was extremely frustrated from the outset. Parking is not on site, but up a steep street around a corner, so not so good for older travellers to lug bags etc, and also not easy to find if driving. If travelling by bus then it is extremely near to the station. Roller shutters controlled the noise fairly well. The hotel itself was OK, but I was pretty stessed from an hour and a half negotiating Genoa traffic trying to find it and probably did not appreciate it fairly.

8.7

Positives: the room was clean, adequate size for one or two people, staff was very friendly and helpful, breakfast was fantastic (everything you could imagine), hotel's location was close to downtown and train station, hotel's appearance was overall great. I would definitely return. Negatives: construction around the hotel (noise, some dust), and minor issues upon arrival, all timely (by Italian standards) resolved by staff (my room had been "given away" since I arrived at 10:00 PM, but I was "upgraded" to the next door 5 star hotel Savoy for the same price; there, the room key, the TV and air conditioning did not work proper initiallly, but were fixed by the satff)

9.3

Though this was just a stop over for us, we were pleasantly surprised by this hotel. Just across from the train station we didn't have to drag our luggage far. The staff were very welcoming. A visit to the old port and the aquarium, both near by, was a pleasant way to spend the next morning.

9.0

Wegen Ausbuchung wurden wir in das benachbarte 5 Sterne Hotel umgebucht, dort allerdings eingeschränkte Nutzug wegen Umbauarbeiten.

8.9

The location near the train station was perfect for us, seeing we arrived from Firenze in the afternoon. The woman at the desk on the day we checked was friendly and extremely helpful. She provided us with a map of the area, sites and suggestions for transportation. The room was lovely with a beautiful view of the train station. It was easy to get a taxi at 5 in the morning for the short ride to the airport. Dinner at their restaurant was very nice. A wonderful hotel for travelers.

8.9

The number of TV channels was limited and it was necessary to pay to rent movies. However the rental ordering system in our room was broken. An hour before the end of our four day stay, somebody was sent in to repair this. The dining room was understaffed at breakfast and depressingly empty at dinner. The proximity to the railroad station and Palazzo Reale is wonderful, but there aren't many restaurants nearby. Most of the closest ones are in the old town on the hill down toward the water, and these streets are dark and feel a bit threatening late at night. Still, it is a short walk to other major tourist destinations. The building itself is charming and the staff capable and friendly.

8.8

Wonderfully positioned within walking distance of the centre. Parking to unload then guarded parking locally. Fantastic lift. A very comfortable hotel in a very good position.

7.6

We staid two nights in the hotel.First night was awful because of noise in the street ( works in progress during night) Staff has been kind enough to move us in a quieter room for the second night. Considering category of hotel, it should plan for investing in a new elevator!

7.1

Pretty good option for the railpass holiday that we were on... try to get a room at the back. We were at the front and the usual trade off between oxygen and noise was brought into play. Decent location for a walkabout....didn't try breakfast. I feel comfortable recommending this hotel at the price that we paid.

7.1

amenities in bath room and room are nice for me but some dust are in ashtray and before the mirror. Employees who clean rooms should care of them. The room I stayed is just front of the road, I woke up twice during the night. I satisfied variety of breakfast and I could leave my big suit case after check out.

8.3

Street was closed, under construction - hotel entry almost undiscernable. No doorman when I arrived. In area of few restaurants for dinner. Construction may have been a positive factor for a very quiet room for a city hotel. Generous size room. Pleasant restaurant. No public lounge space. Would stay again for good access to train, clean, quiet, nice room, and good service. (got a cab at 4 am)

6.5

good hotel but the rooms are so small

9.2

Stayed for two days in Savoia Genova, 3 adults and 3 children (in two rooms). Hotel is very clean and furnishings of a high quality, the bathroom facilities are also of the best and spacious I have experienced in Italy. The breakfast is also one of the best with an extremely wide variety. Suitable for a family with 1 or 2 children. The only down side was the building operations next door. I would definitely recommend the hotel to visitors in Genova, as the hotel is quite conveniently located in one of the better areas.

8.0

the hotel is ok, there are no nice sorrounds dings but the train station is right there and you have access to the airpot, if you have a very early fligh is risky to take the trains is 30 euros to the airport

9.2

The hotel was beautiful in the classic tradition of European hotels. The room was very quiet and nicely appointed including the marble bath. Francesco went above and beyond to help us recover an internet receipt we needed in order to board a ferry. The hotel is located directly across the square from the train station at which we arrived and it was a short cab ride to the port to catch the ferry when leaving. The hotel is an elegant, convenient place to stay when visiting the city. If you are traveling from Italy to Spain, use the overnight ferry service which, with a cabin, cost us 254 Euros versus about 3,000 to rent a car and fly. Genova is a city I would like to visit again and I will stay at the Savoia. We especially liked the elevator which is a must see.

9.1

I hesitate to stay in hotels near train stations but the area was very quiet, clean and safe. The breakfast was exceptional and our room very nice. I would definitely stay here again.

8.2

Hotel was fine and close to train station but not as close to cruise terminal as information suggested, also this seems to be the rougher end of town.

9.6

A lovely hotel with an excellent location. The room was wonderful, decorated with good taste and excellent quality. I simply enjoyed my trip, not only Genoa itself, but also enjoyed while staying in the room. A lovely experience to be remembered in the future!

7.8

Very convenient for train travelers, but not for auto travelers. A nice "retro" experience, complete with "tower of terror" elevator and small rooms.

9.0

It was a comfortable stay. My sleeping room & bathroom(with bath tub) are spacious, and I like the old fashioned style of the building and decor. Absolutely "excellent" for Quality vs.Price. Only thing if I think it may be negative is location. It's very convenient to the station(Principe), but a bit far from center of the city. Other than that, staff are efficiently helpful, and not overly friendly. Recommendable for a short stay. If I could get similar room rate again, I would like to stay there again. From a traveller from U.S.A.

Ecellent rapport qualité-prix; chambres spacieuses et luxueuses; petit déjeuner raffiné; proche de la vieille ville et du port.

8.8

The facilities, the staff and all other amenities were excellent, as was the position very conveniently located near the Principe station. I would definitely recommend it and hope to return one day.

6.6

Difficult to find hotel. Average for the price.

8.5

Nice place. Close to the train station but on a very busy and noisy street. The room was neat and clean with a comfortable bed Staff were helpful and breakfast was great!

8.1

La stanza era piccolina ma molto carina, ben attrezzata e soprattutto pulita! La colazione è davvero molto molto abbondante! E se andate a Genova in treno quest'hotel è l'ideale, visto che è attaccato alla stazione

6.1

Grandissimi problemi di parcheggio. Se andate con la vostra auto mettete in conto un salatissimo garage per la notte (17 Euro!!) o una difficoltosissima ricerca di un parcheggio su strada. Nel complesso un buon hotel, anche se attualmente sono in corso dei lavori che lo rendono un po rumoroso.

6.5

The location of the hotel is excellent - perfect if you want to stay somewhere that is not too expensive and within easy reach of exploring Genova. However, the map / directions on the website are terrible; fortunately, though the signs around Genova are very clear. The welcoming was poor - the receptionist was unprofessional, a real misery and very unfriendly. The barman, however, was really professional and very charismatic. The rooms were average - perfectly clean and nicely decorated, although fairly small - and you need to get your hiking boots on, the distance it took to get to your room from the reception!
