    There was nothing I didn't like.

    This hotel is absolutely gorgeous. My single room was spacious with a lovely renovated bathroom. The location is excellent and the train station is only a 10 minute walk if you're day tripping. I did not eat breakfast at the hotel so unable to comment.

    Definitely the best hotel choice in Genoa

    Would have liked a slight larger room but it was still very adequate.

    We loved our four nights stay at the Bristol Palace. The best in every way, we couldn’t have chosen better! We had a lovely room, old style, well-appointed on the 6th floor and quiet. not the largest but perfect for our needs and the price was right. The hotel cannot be better situated on the main street, XX Settembre, 3 minutes away from the main square with it’s fountain, old Genoa, 5 minutes walk to the cathedral and 10 minutes to the palaces and to the old port, where you can take advantage of boat excursions (went to Portofino and visited other villages along the way, with the company Golfo Paridiso recommended by the hotel). Numerous great restaurants in the vicinity. All the restaurants recommended by the staff were perfect and within walking distance. El Genovese (a typical Genovese restaurant…very affordable with delicious food, but be there at opening at 7h00 or make a reservation as it’s very popular) Zefferino a posh established restaurant where three popes ate and so did numerous political and show business personalities. Upscale but still very reasonably priced. El Marin, a Michelin star restaurant overlooking the port. We had the most incredible meal and again unbeatable quality at 70 euros for a five courses meal with complimentary extras. The best Michelin star restaurant quality/price we ever experienced. Bristol Palace also offers a lovely restaurant, if you do not feel like going out. The hotel is also a 10-15 minutes walk from the train station, where we took the train to get to the Cinque Terre. We felt that our pied à terre in Genoa was the best way to do get to surrounding attractions while experiencing a lovely city with a lot to see and where all residents are so kind and helpful. Thank you to all the staff that helped us, you’re all great ambassadors for the best hotel in Genoa. Without hesitation, this is the hotel I would positively recommend for any stay in Genoa.

    overall excellent, but let down by Bed

    We had a large double bed, however it was two singles put together with no suitable topper to smooth out the gap in the middle, which resulted in bed moving apart, and falling into the gap which wasn't what I would expect from a 5* hotel

    Location fantastic, staff really helpful and friendly, especially doorman/concierge

    Considering the level of dinner in the same restaurant room, the breakfast could be improved- it was good, but not extraordinary. ;)

    I think that the offerings for casual tea or dining are a bit limited. I would have liked a bath in the room

    Beautiful old character building close to harbour and nice shopping district. I was referred to a public restaurant which was really local and good. Taxi to rail was easy and prompt right in front of hotel

    These are simply my little niggles...don't let it put you off! Upon checking in our 1st room wasn't very clean and we'd asked for a quiet room. We were on the 1st floor and could hear the 'thump- thump' of music so asked to move. (Staff very helpful) our 2nd room was much better. The beds(for us) weren't particularly comfortable, neither were the pillows but that's personal preference. The shower screen over the bath edge has a gap at the base and when showing, this cause the floor to flood so we had to use towels to soak up the water! I appreciate this is a city centre hotel but I felt the price was a little steep.

    Great location. Close to historical centre, 15 min walk to train station (Brignole) and on main shopping street. Excellent front of house staff and concierge (Davide) 👌🏻 Large rooms Excellent water pressure for showering 🚿 Fantastic spiral staircase!

    The initial room description showed I had a shower and a bath in the bathroom but I only had a small corner shower. There was no milk or creamer placed in the rooms despite tea and coffee making facilities provided and a good selection of tea and coffee. No door on my first room wardrobe (open style). No British newspapers available upon request as suggested on the website.

    The room was very clean and spacious. The front desk staff spoke English well and were accommodating where they could be.

    Small detail but The hairdryer-you have to hold down the button to keep the hairdryer on. I really dislike these as it is so difficult to style your hair using this type. I wish hotels would just use the normal hairdryer with on/off switch.

    Location was excellent First time visiting Genoa and found ourselves right in the best part of the city.

    The bar was extremely unpleasant, cold, horrible furniture, bright light, and most important, the barman did not show up for almost 10 minutes waiting there. He has to be called by somebody on the phone to come and check if there are people. It is not a bar and the wrong expectations are set from the hotel website.

    The room, bathroom, the building itself, the staff at the reception and the valet. They were very kind and helpful, sharing their insight in terms of restaurants (not the touristic ones). Breakfast was great too! I loved that everything was clean and well maintained.

    My room was a little small, but as a single traveler, it was not a big deal. The bar was not very well stocked with wine - went to an outside bar for better options.
