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.

We were upgraded to the Grand Hotel Savoy (next door) to the Hotel Continental. Location is amazing across the street from the Genova Principe train station. Breakfast was wonderful - my parents were very happy with the wide selection, and my dad was most excited about a small "pot" of American style coffee available. Cappuccinos were great, and the selection of savory breakfast options were my favorite part. Bed was super comfy, and shower/water pressure was excellent. We were a bit sad we had only booked 1 night - perhaps in the future we could return!

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 have stayed at Grand Hotel Savoi. Fantastic location, perfect for a long weekend and exploring the city. Close to the train station and the historical centre and the old harbour. The staff was kind and very professional. The breakfast buffet was 10/10. The rooftop restaurant is a beautiful place to watch the sunset from.

The historic hotel, with its charming character, boasted intricate details in each room. The spacious accommodations featured all-wood furnishings and a vintage elevator, adding to its unique appeal. Despite its age, the elevator seemed surprisingly sturdy. The hotel's friendly staff provided excellent service, and its convenient location near the train station made it a popular choice for travelers.
