Bellissimo soggiorno a Genova in comodità

Ottima la posizione e la location

Cons:

Tutto ok

Muy buena relación calidad/precio.
Pros:

Pasamos una estancia estupenda, el personal muy amable y dispuesto a ayudar en cualquier situación, la ubicación del hotel excelente en pleno centro, el desayuno muy bueno, con productos de calidad, la limpieza correcta y las camas cómodas.

Cons:

La habitación que nos dieron para 3 personas era muy grande, con un saloncito y 2 habitaciones comunicadas, una con una cama y otra con dos, el mobiliario era un poco antiguo, pero todo muy limpio, y el baño era un poco extraño, con un escalón donde estaban los sanitarios.

Pros:

De vriendelijkheid van alle medewerkers. Prima ontbijt!
Ligging om de hoek van de leuke oude straatjes.

Cons:

Het lawaai van de straat. Met raam dicht lukte het om het meeste straatlawaai buiten te houden.

Pros:

La struttura si trova nel centro di Genova, a pochissima distanza dalla zona del Porto, dalla stazione di Piazza Principe e dalle vie del centro (via del Campo è a due passi), in una zona servita anche da molte linee di autobus e a pochi passi dalla funicolare Zecca-Righi. Proprio davanti all'ingresso vi è un parcheggio riservato dove lasciare l'auto in tutta comodità per un agevole scarico dei bagagli e si ha la possibilità di lasciare la propria auto in un comodo garage convenzionato a 5 minuti dalla struttura.
Accoglienza cordiale da parte della responsabile della struttura, che mi ha offerto una serie di utilissimi consigli su ristoranti, negozi, musei rivelatisi eccellenti.
Stanza un po' piccolina, ma pulita e con comodo letto matrimoniale. Bagno ugualmente piccolino ma pulitissimo e confortevole.
Colazione molto ricca e con ampio orario (addirittura a partire dalle 6:30!), con ottima focaccia e possibilità di avere il caffè preparato da una macchinetta vera, e non da una di quelle automatiche. Gentilissimo e sollecito il personale di sala.
Totale pagato con Booking per due notti: 163,46. Rapporto qualità/prezzo: ottimo. Consiglio assolutamente la struttura anche in virtù della cortesia e della collaborazione dimostrate di fronte alla richiesta di lasciare l'auto per un periodo più lungo presso il garage convenzionato e per aver curato l'intermediazione con la proprietà. Ancora grazie sperando di poter nuovamente soggiornare!

Hotel in guter Stadtlage, optimale ÖPNV-Anbindung, nettes Personal, Ausstattung noch o.k.
Pros:

Für Italien und diese Hotelklasse ein gutes Frühstück. Das Personal ist sehr aufmerksam und freundlich. Die Lage des Hotels zur Stadterkundung und die Anbindung an Metro und Bus ist sehr gut. Kostenlose Wasserflaschen werden täglich neu gegeben.

Cons:

Bedingt durch die zentrale Lage etwas laut. Die Zimmer sind klein, im Bad ist es sogar eng. Die Ausstattung ist gut, aber schon länger in Gebrauch, die Duschtür mit großem Spalt, die häufigen Temperatuwechsel beim Duschen unangenehm.
