Overall Ratings & Reviews Hotel Genziana

I would definitely not return. It was very noisy as we were on the first floor, squeaking doors and people coming in all hours... NOT AGAIN. stay clear...

I was impressed with the hotel. Though I was two minded initially due to its reviews from others, my wife and I had a good stay, all considering. I travel often therefore its important to me that the booked hotel is as expected. The only one thing I will ask is I was advised that if I stayed at the Marina Antico parking I would get 50 % off parking. I paid from 26 Apr 0154hrsto this morning at approximately 0815 hrs - 56 euros. Is that the correct amount? Again just double checking so am aware, as it seemed a little expensive. Thank you

This is the worst area to stay in. Absolutely unsafe. And the amenities offered by the property are incorrect, there are no laundry facilities unless you would like to walk down the street and be accosted to buy drugs on your way. Private bathrooms are outside the room which is inconvenient, and streets are awful, noisy and unsafe. As an added bonus, prior to staying here we requested information about parking within the ZTL and were told the local parking complex at Marina Antico would provide day passes and discounted parking, and there was no ZTL pass, and when we asked again at the property, they said they knew nothing about it, so we received a fine. Bad hotel for tourists all around, and just forget it if you don't speak Italian because you will be treated in a wildly condescending manner, which is quite rich for a hotel such as this.

Amazing staff, everything was like one the picture, the only thing was air conditioning which was faulty, apart from that good value for money, very clean place, I will stay again there with my 2 other friends.

Overall I had a great experience. The room was clean and it’s in a great location. The front desk staff were very kind and had lots of good recommendations for places to go and where to eat. The hotel is similar to a hostel in that you can get a shared or private bathroom. It felt safe and comfortable and I would recommend for anyone looking for a simple place in a central location.

I do not advise anyone very bad, the only close location to the train station and the market, and everything else is creepy

Located in an area frequented by prostitutes. Initially hard to locate. Hotel is still under refurbishment so holes in walls, dust, bare wires about. No air conditioning. No sink or toilet in the room, but a completely see through, non privacy shower. Grubby private bathroom was severaldoors down and my what was booked for. Once you dodge the hookers, you are close to either the aquarium or piazza Ducale. Not even a one star hotel currently. Would not recommend.

I have mixed feelings about our stay at this hotel. The good thing is that it`s in the city centre basically in 10 mins walking distance from everything. The front desk is open 0-24 so there is always someone there if you need anything. The rooms are very basic but clean, altough the shared bathroom could be in better condition. Towels and toiletries are given, the wifi is good. The receptionists speak mostly Italian but also a bit of English and they are friendly. Even though the location is convenient also a bit risky: looks like a very dodgy area of the city with prostitutes, drug addicts, thieves, loud noise and shouting during night. We were asked to leave the keys at the reception when we went anywhere - we were concerned to leave anything valuable in the room but also worried to bring it with ourselves as we didn`t feel safe on the streets (we have witnessed a theft and an ambulance call for an overdosed person...). So in summary, the hotel is good enough for a night but the area is clearly not the safest!

the stuff in hotel was not kind and had no energy to answer our question about city , really rude , is not any elevator at hotel and you should go by steps . the room was old , bed was horrible and noisy , not any air air conditioner at home and is really difficult to sleep at the night . i never recommend this hotel specially at the summer .

Hotel is in a good location as it only takes a few minutes to get to the centre however the streets surrounding the hotel get very dangerous in the evening, me and my boyfriend feared for our safety majorly and were almost robbed 2 minutes from the hotel. There is also a lot of noise throughout the night making it impossible to sleep as well as there being no ac.

Hotel said it had parking. It took us an hour to find somewhere to park. It was 900 meters from tge hotel. Super sketchy area. Hotel is a little run down. Staff was friendly.

So we didn't realize this when we booked the room, but apparently it's ok for hookers to be on the streets around here...just beware they might be near the entrance outside. The hotel itself is fine. It's too bad the location isn't better.

It took us a long time navigating the back streets to find this hotel and once we did we were met with prostitutes and drug addicts in the surrounding doorways. We did not feel safe one bit. The staff when we checked in did not have much of a clue about the process of checking us in and kept calling us back to take photos of our passports on their phones. The room was below basic standard, the beds were uncomfortable and unstable and did nothing to make me feel comfortable with staying, not to mention the room smelling of cigarettes even though we were told it was a non-smoking room.. Within 20 minutes I had found that an international chain hotel in the city still had rooms and gladly paid an extortionate amount in order to enjoy my time in Genoa and feel safe in the meantime. Please, whatever you do, avoid this at all costs and avoid the back streets with your life! Upon checking out the staff questioned what was wrong with us and told us that the prostitutes and rug addicts were "nothing to worry about".

My taxi driver didn't know where this hotel was - but that was understandable because it is hidden down a series of back streets. I had to ask a local policeman to find it. The hotel would be OK if it was in a better location. It has a 24/7 reception and my room was a comfortable temperature and my bed was also quite comfortable. However, the bed had sprung slats - like temporary beds - and on two occasions I fell through it and had to replace the slats. I soon learned that I could lie on the bed but not sit on it. The room was basic - no fridge or kettle, the TV didn't work, no hot water and some light bulbs were missing. On the plus side, it felt safe in an area of town that wouldn't encourage you to wander the streets at night.

First this is a hostel, not a hotel. We had to share the bath with 5 rooms.Both beds were broken. Slept on floor first night then they moved us to another room. Location in old town centre is problematic. Area is completely infested with Africans who hang out on the streets, in the tunnels, in the parks, everywhere all night long talking loud yelling fighting singing. they congregate in small alleys and streets intersections in groups such that you have to brush by them to go by. They offer you drugs, and their women stand in doorways whispering if you want a good time don't stay in old city centre, don't go there at night period we won't be back to Genova at all ever

Nice and clean room. Very close to all city attractions. The only problem it was no air condition in room its really hard to sleep when is to hot.

For a 1 star the facility was fine - clean and comfortable. The neighbourhood was rather sketchy but that was made worse by arriving in the dark. Not the easiest place to find and difficult access with little parking close by. Overall it was okay.

As for one star hotel the hotel wasn't too bad, it could do with a revamp and then they could charge double but seriously it's OK. Main thing it is clean and the front reception are very friendly. The hotel is centrally located in the old town. One thing I must say if you want a quiet room ask for a room in rear of hotel as it can get very noisy. Apparently the area in which the hotel is located has been and still is a red light district for many centuries.

A reasonable place for the euros you pay! The city is splendide during the day but never go outside during night! It is not the safest place after the sun is down!

Was issued unit Number 13! I requested a room change, and was given the most difficult time. The room was cold, noisy and stark. The furnishings were old and weathered. It took me 1 1/2 hours to locate this hotel.
