Hotel Continental Genova

The room was as in the photo but the bathroom was a little tight, however, there was everything we needed. The breakfast was a generous buffet of goodies from scrambled eggs, pancakes, fruit salad, cereals and cold meats.

The Double Room was ample for our 1 night stay. We requested a quiet room, knowing we were on a busy street near the train station. Our request was accommodated. No view to speak of, but quiet was our priority. Staff reached out to verify our arrival time, which they confirmed and accommodated. Very convenient location (you can see the train station entrance from the hotel entrance) and there were food options nearby. Given the proximity to the train station and situated next to the Genoa University campus, this is a bustling area. We loved the old-fashioned elevator! Note...one does have to go up a few steps to enter the hotel, and a few more to arrive at the reception area. Room was nicely decorated with convenient updates. The staff was pleasant. This hotel is connected to the Grand Hotel Savoia, which is very elegant and has a rooftop bar worth check out. Restaurants are located at both hotels, but we ate elsewhere while in other areas of the city.

We were moved into the hotel next door, the Grand hotel Savoia. Unsure why. however, this hotel was beautiful and full of history. The pianist playing in the lounge bar each evening while having apperitivo was truely a highlight. the historical centre was only 5min walk away, as was the port and main train station. Lastly the breakfast was wonderful. Thanks to the lead host who made our breakfast very enjoyable. Overall, a wonderful stay. I would definitely recommend this hotel. Well the Grand hotel Savoia as this was where our room was.

We were actually upgraded to the 5* Grand Hotel Savoia so this review refers to that. Beautiful old building with marble interiors, polished wood, brass and mirrors - a pianist playing the grand piano in the plush lounge area. We arrived around 9pm after a delayed train from Venice, so relieved to find the hotel just across from the station. Our check-in was swift and friendly and we had a very pleasant meal in the hotel’s trattoria which was reasonably priced. Our room was extremely comfortable - just a shame we were only staying one night before moving on. The breakfast was superb with a huge choice: cereals and mueslis; fresh fruit; cheeses and meats; hot buffet; delicious cakes and pastries etc.

This review relates to the sister hotel Grand Hotel Savoia as we received a complimentary upgrade, also a bottle of wine for our 40th anniversary, so kind. Location right next to main train station perfect & easy, hotel stunning, room was lovely though no pleasant view & a ‘compact’. Breakfasts here are really good, lots of choice and breakfast staff really helpful and pleasant. We took the tourist bus to explore & got off at places of interest, which was helpful.
