Hotell Genua

My sister and I stayed 2 nights at the Hotel Helvetia in Genoa in the beginning of September 2013. The room was quite large and very clean. The wireless internet connection worked fairly well. The friendly staff directed us to a parking spot for our car that was very close and easy to get to. We were able to pull right up front of the hotel to drop our luggage off first. The staff also provided a map of the area with suggestions on where to eat and sites to see. They were very attentive and helpful. The hotel location is fantastic. Our room looked out over busy Piazza Della Nunziata but when you closed the window, it was still quite quiet. There are so many shops and restaurants nearby. A seven-stop commuter funicular begins at the Piazza and it is worth the trip up to see the view of Genoa. The hotel is situated amongst some very impressive landmarks and the architecture is gorgeous. We had decided to stay in Genoa so we could visit Cinque Terre but then we were sorry that we did not dedicate more time to exploring this really interesting and beautiful city. The Hotel Helvetia is a very good location to explore the city from. It is also very close to the train station. We really enjoyed the hotel and would highly recommend it. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again.

Great hotel which offers luxury touches and extremely comfortable, well finished rooms for an excellent price. Only a short walk down to the centre of town (central Genoa is small so everywhere is an easy walk), or to the seafront on Corsa Italia. Quiet neighborhood with views over the city but plenty of restaurants nearby. Would highly recommend for any stay in Genoa (business or pleasure).

very friendly personal, clean room ( just need some update in bathroom), free Wi-Fi, very good fresh breakfast buffet, good price, I would stay again. city fee 2 Euros per night not in price included:-(

This is the 3rd time that I've stayed at the Star Hotel President whilst visiting Genoa and Liguria in general. This is very friendly hotel offering excellent value for money positioned well to explore the best shopping in Genoa on Via Settembre, the best eateries beyond La Piazza de Ferrari such as La Giada and next door to Stazione Brignole train station if you want to explore beautiful Liguria and beyond.

We had an overnight stay and could not have been more impressed, from helpful and friendly staff to the comfort of the room and its facilities. Everything you could possibly require was catered for. Ample secure parking for cars as well as motorbikes. Breakfast was plentiful with a great selection. All in all a great hotel and although our stay was only for a night it was very enjoyable. Would thoroughly recommend it.

Very simple, plain, and clean hotel across from the train station. Front desk recommended a restaurant where we had the best meal of our trip. Go to the aquarium!

very convenient location - just over road from maion station, and on street with must-visist museums, and 10 minute walk from Old Port. small frie3ndlt family-run hotel where every member of staff we met went out of their way to be helpful . They provided us with English language brochures and maps as soon as we arrived and marked out routes for us on the map. Recommended (very good) local restaurants and were without fail always helpful and friendly. The buffet breakfast was good. Everywhere was very clean an d the bedrooms airconditioned. This is an ideal hotel for a short break - we had just been on a cruise and decided to stay on for 3 nights in Genua (where we landed) - well worth it.

I wanted to be close to the Principe train station for the Volabus to the airport the next day. The hotel was extremely convenient. I think that this is a family run hotel -- and although I was only there one night -- I felt very welcomed -- to the city and the hotel. The visitor bureaus for Genoa are good but the Vittoria staff (family) are better.

This is a laid-back, scruffy hotel in a good location close to the main railway station. It's ideal if you want to be close to the city, but aren't too bothered about being pampered.
