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.

It was nice to be so close to the Genoa airport. The room had a really nice and comfortable bed, the bathroom was large and had lovely bathtub with hot water. The breakfast was really good. I would use this hotel again.

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!

Excellent location close to metro and historical center. Next door to the aquarium of genua and several great restaurants in Porto antico. Nice breakfast buffe. Can't be much better for mid price in genoa

Hotel great with central location and staff very helpful

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:-(

6 days spent exploring Genoa, an underrated city full of interest, history and much charm, and its surrounding area. The hotel provided an excellent base.

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.

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.
