- "Accommodation was very nice and comfortable. The breakfast included was outstanding! Walking distance to a lot of shops and restaurants. Close to the cruise port terminals." - "Stunning combination of modern design and renaissance architecture. Friendly staff and an excellent breakfast. Can’t fault it." - "Lovely boutique style hotel. As other reviewers mention, a stunning building which has been stylishly modernised. Staff were lovely, from check in to all other contact we had. Decent sized room on the 4th floor, really peaceful. Breakfast is great, served in a large room on the 5th floor, all very casual and laid back - really decent selection of items and would cover the needs of most if not everyone!! You are in the heart of the old town and a brief walk leads you to the main areas with lots of great little bakery's, cafes, restaurants etc - we had some fantastic food everywhere we tried ranging from 2 minutes from the hotel to the City Centre of Genoa."

- "Nice, comfort, and super clean rooms. Staffs are super helpful and nice. We are traveling with car from Luzern Switzerland 🇨🇭." - "GREAT BREAKFAST" - "Perfect hotel, stylish, clean, and equipped with all you need. Delicious breakfast and friendly SPA zone." - "Exceptionally clean, very friendly and helpful staff. Lovely food." - "I never really leave reviews. But feel like I have to for this one. This hotel in every way was one of the best hotel I’ve stayed at. Very helpful with recommending us where to go in or near Genova. Breakfast was amazing and high quality. The pool which you have to book was actually a great feature because you have the whole area to yourself when booked in. The gym was enough to get a good workout done. The location is perfect to get into the city and to be away from it all at the same time. Can’t recommend it more. I left so much out."
