This is our third trip to our beloved city of Genova, and we couldn't stay anywhere else but at the Astoria! Upon our return every two years or so, the staff still remember us. From the amazing big rooms to the lovely old cage lift, character abounds within the Astoria. It's location near Station Brignole and the Metro is superb.... More

The Astoria is a beautiful grand hotel with 1920's decor. The large, antique mahogany elevator is memorable. The breakfast was wonderful, with attentive staff who will make special coffees, if you desire. The room was large and had a private foyer, and a modern, clean bathroom. The free Wifi worked, but only near the door of the room.

Great, helpful staff. Easy stroll to Brignole train station (Volabus access to airport and regional train access to Cinque Terre/Italian Riveria). The building is like an old palace; it takes you back in time. Great breakfast, in all, good deal. It is in the heart of Genoa so don't expect the traffic to quieten down, but I didn't really find...

Astoria is a good hotel in a convenient location. Breakfast is rich and the staff was always nice and helpful. I was there with a group of colleagues and we were offered a very good deal (70 euros for a single room). The building is very peculiar and it's got lots of personality; the elevator is a gem and the... More

Beautiful building with great period 'cage' lift. The location was ok - near a large station (Brignole) with many bus stops outside. Not the easiest walk to the central area, but ok. Lots of great shops, bars and restaurants nearby. Bedroom quite bare, but comfortable enough. The hotel was being fitted out with flat screen tvs during my stay. Lots... More

The building was built in 1860. It must have been a Grand Dame for her day. Beautiful fittings and the cutest elevator. Typical Italian, just the bare essentials. It is an old hotel and is kept in period so don't expect to many luxuries. The staff is very helpful. The hotel is located close a smaller railway station, but not... More

5 minutes walk from train (Stazione Brignole). Nice older building. Nice clean rooms. Breakfast buffet with relatively many choices. Very helpful and friendly staff (especially Cinzia who answered my never-ending questions, and Christian who helped me book my next hotel). My only gripe: They kept the a/c running for limited hours. Other hours, it was working as a fan-only. Should... More

Very old hotel. Temperature outside was chilling (-3 celsius). Inside the hotel was not warmer than the exterior temperature. My room had two AC units. The first night I has only one unit set up to max heat, and I could not sleep at all due to the cold. Second night I had both units set up to max heat,... More

Nice 4-5 star older Hotel with outstanding rooms renovated for a Boutique feel closr to the train station.For 130 Euro on last minute AARP/Expedia.com site got a very nice room no view to speak of and the best free breakfast buffet I had while in Italia. Staff was a bit indifferent and not terribly responsive but they were quite busy... More
