“Great room, great staff, very close to train station”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 January 2012

people found this review helpful

My wife and I stayed at the Continental Hotel in Genoa for 1 night as part of an 8 week holiday through Europe, UK and Ireland. We chose the Continental based on price, location and also reviews from Trip Advisor. Our stay in Genoa was really a one night stop over as we travelled by train from Cinque Terre to Nice with the idea being that we could spend a bit of time exploring Genoa by foot.

As we were arriving at and departing from Genoa via train we were keen to find somewhere in very close walking distance from the train station, and the Continental hotel is certainly that – with about a 5-7 minute walk from the hotel to the train station. The hotel for some reason that is not very clear to me has an old rustic charm to it (this is meant in a nice way !!), from the old style elevator, to the style of the rooms, to the breakfast room, … - it was all very pleasant. We received a complimentary upgrade to our room on arrival, and so got a very large and spacious room with lovely décor, furniture, fittings etc – and we loved every aspect of the room. Staff were also very friendly and helpful.

Whilst the hotel is well located to the train station, the walk into the central area was a little longer, however with advice from the staff we were able to navigate the walk easily.

Breakfast was included and it was hosted in their lovely dining room, and was most enjoyable.

In summary I would certainly consider staying there again, standard of accommodation was excellent and location in relation to the train station perfect.

“Great Location and helpful staff”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 November 2011

We stayed at this hotel for a night before going to Savona. The hotel is small but clean and comfortable. The location is excellent for us as we were going to take a train the next morning. Virtually less than 5 minutes walk to the station. The hotel staff was extremely helpful, recommending us to restaurants and finding out information for our trains and other transport. The food at Tralelaro Trattoria downstairs was pretty nice, especially great value for lunch. The staff at the restaurant was friendly and efficient too. If you get a good rate, it is worth considering staying in this hotel.

“Genoa 5 Star Location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 November 2011

Although Genoa was not my favorite city in Italy, this hotel and location where great! I appreciated the room size and view and the proximity to the train station which was key because I used Genoa as my base when travelling to the Riviera....for day trips. The restaurant attached to the hotel is very very good. I almost did not try it because I thought oh it was just another hotel restaurant, but I am so glad I did try it! Authentic cuisine and I could just bill to my room! I appreciated the complimentary computer with internet access. The staff spoke excellent English and were quite helpful!
