Hotell Genua

Booked the room for 3 - parents and daughter - from UK via Expedia and had no problems. On arrival we had a fabulous bedroom with a proper single bed - not one of those collapsing beds but something equivalent to a chaise longue which had been adapted. Hotel was old world beautiful with air conditioning and room had a small balcony. Highly recommended and would use 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!

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.

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.

A first class hotel right on the water and next to many attractions, aquarium, galleon, and only yards from the old part of Genoa.

Good experience. Room is large. The breakfast is so so.

Genoa is a wonderful town with many interesting places to see, be prepared to do a lot of walking if you wish to see the town, and do try the local cafes for food. The Bristol Palace is in a good position in the centre of the town.

My visit to Genova included exploring the historic Porto Antico area and a music event at the Fiera exhibition centre. It's a 30 minute walk from the NH Plaza to the Fiera di Genova but it's good to take your time walking down to the harbour area, visiting the UNESCO World Heritage sites. As the largest port in Italy it's not surprising that Genova has become a centre of excellence for progressive rock music, which is defined by the incorporation of different styles including classical music, folk music and eastern and middle eastern influences.
