What guests think

Across many reviews, Hotel Continental Genova is praised for its walkable location by Piazza Principe station, period charm, friendly service, and frequent complimentary upgrades to the adjacent Grand Hotel Savoia with access to its rooftop spaces and shared amenities.

Rooms are generally clean and comfortable, with classic decor; some are spacious, while others feel small, and several guests noted weak or seasonally inactive air conditioning and occasional street or mechanical noise depending on room placement. Breakfast earns consistent praise, and many appreciated using the sister property’s rooftop bar/terrace and spa, though spa access often costs extra and parking is typically paid. Overall, it suits travelers who want historic character and easy transport access.

Good breakfast with pleasant staff. Room was clean and nice size. Good central location and next to train station for easy day trips. Hotel is old but in great condition and has wonderful charm, especially the elevator. Was also nice to use the rooftop terrace and bar at the related hotel next door. Restaurant's in the area are great but the restaurant in the hotel was very nice also if you don’t want to leave. Would definitely stay again.

Das Hotel ist gut gelegen, so dass Stadt und Hafen gut zu Fuß erreichbar sind. Das Hotel bietet Parkmöglichkeiten für 28 EUR an. Wir haben einen Upgrade für das 5 Sterne Hotel bekommen. Waren mit Zimmer, Frühstücken und Lobby sehr zufrieden. Der einzige Nachteil ist, dass für Pool/Spa zusätzlich Gebühr bezahlt werden muss.

Wir kamen in den Genuss auf das benachbarte Hotel umgebucht zu werden, da es zu einer Überbuchung gekommen ist. Somit kann ich das Continental nicht bewerten, dafür aber das Grand Hotel Savio. Besonders gut hat uns die Frühstücksterrasse gefallen. Man hat einen herrlichen Blick auf den Hafen und Teile der Altstadt. Da kann man schon mal die Zeit vergessen und länger sitzen 😃. Das Personal war immer freundlich und sehr aufmerksam. Das Frühstück war immer sehr lecker und die Auswahl reichhaltig. Ein absolutes muss ist die Aprikosentarte. Die Zimmer sind sauber und geräumig. Es uns lediglich ein Schrank oder der gleichen gefehlt, um die Sachen zu verstauen. Ich würde das Hotel jederzeit wieder buchen und kann es für einen Aufenthalt in Genua nur empfehlen. Von dort kann man die Umgebung (Altstadt, Alter Hafen, Aquarium usw.) und den Küstenstreifen gut erkunden. Auch gute Restaurants sind in unmittelbarer Nähe. Wir können das gegenüber sehr empfehlen.

Super beliggenhet rett ved togstasjonen. Fantastisk takterrasse med nydelig utsikt og gode cocktails. Frokost på takterrassen var fantastisk. Godt utvalg og god frokost. Rommet var litt lite, uten utsikt og bærer preg av at det er et gammelt hotell, men likevel veldig koselig og rent. Fint resepsjonsområde og utmerket service!

Hôtel avec vue sur la place de la gare, situation pratique mais très bruyant pour les chambres donnant sur la rue. Pour celles donnant sur la cour intérieure, le bruit des ventilations extérieures oblige à dormir avec la fenêtre fermée. Ascenseur très ancien, restant bloqué une fois sur deux. Chambres propres, certaines très petites, lits confortables, salle de bain avec produits douche, sèche-cheveux. Bouilloire dans la chambre avec café et thé à disposition. Buffet de petit déjeuner assez varié mais mesures d'hygiène lacunaires, aucun flacon de gel désinfectant auprès du buffet. Personnel sympathique au petit-déjeuner. Dans l'ensemble, nous garderons une impression mitigée de cet hôtel, trop cher par rapport aux prestations.

My sister and I stayed for 4 nights and were upgraded to Grand Hotel Savoia on arrival. The hotel itself was very nice and in a good location. The bar and restaurant staff were amazing- 10/10 good service. However, our bed was not clean- it was like the maids never changed the sheets before we arrived. There was something all over the sheets. The reception suggested that me and my sister put new sheets on ourselves.. rather than immediately working to fix the disgusting issue. This was not 5 star service and it was the hotels fault for giving us a dirty bed!! Eventually they did change our sheets but this experience made us feel gross. The cleaning service during our stay was absolutely horrible. The maids took our room garbage out once during our entire stay and the garbage can was overflowing. They also never cleaned the floors. Lastly, a staff member at the hotel took my sisters shirt out of our room. We had our belongings locked in our suitcase or the hotel safe except for her shirt which disappeared. We searched and searched for the shirt and it was no where in our room. We notified the front desk and they offered to ask the cleaning staff about it and then offered a refund if they couldn’t locate the shirt. We went for an evening walk and when we returned the shirt was magically on the bed.. the hotel did not offer an apology and we felt like this was mishandled. We felt disrespected about the lack of communication but grateful to get the shirt back.…

We were very happy with our stay at the Hotel Continental. The hotel itself is beautiful and we had a fabulous room facing the station with the most comfortable bed. Despite the busy area, the room was very quiet with the insulated windows. Location was very convenient as we arrived by train. We were able to walk around Genova from the hotel and had a lovely meal only a few doors away. Breakfast included was plentiful. Staff were very friendly. We highly recommend this hotel and would stay here again. Thank you.

Arrived for a 6-day business trip and this property did not have the air conditioning turned on in May. Normally not a huge deal, but I was spending most every day - all day - in my room working; and it was warm and stuffy. Fortunately I was moved to a room that didn’t get as much sun and wasn’t as warm/stuffy, but no a/c - when the amenities show a/c - is bad form. I asked to leave and go to another property for my remaining 5 nights but they would not agree to a no-fee cancellation. The property was good and the staff were fine and the area is super convenient, but no a/c and no flexibility ruined it for me. Sorry…

The dinner and service in Salgari on Sept 29 was not very good. Our server was slow and not very attentive. We were very clear with our meal choice of a pesto, green bean and potato pizza but we received a salami pizza. It took 30 minutes to receive the incorrect order and another 20 minutes for the remake. There were 2 other tables of 2 and a party of 9 in at the time. The pizza when it arrived had potatoes that looked like small hash browns maybe 2 little pieces on each slice along with random pieces of green beans and it was underdone. We saw other pizzas that were better dressed, they should reconsider the amount of product used having said that we understand that it Italy pizzas are made with less toppings that are given in North America where there are too many toppings. When it came time to pay we expressed our displeasure with the quality of the pizza and he gave us a 10% discount which was unacceptable. All the while as this was happening a gentleman who appeared to be the manager was having his meal and observing the happenings in the dining room where the service for the other guests was also slow. He was giving some direction to the server and helper but made no effort to touch tables. Very disappointing meal. Our breakfast the next day in the same restaurant was very good with a great selection of offerings. Staff was very good specific kudos to the Floor Manager Sorina who was excellent speaking to all guests…she should run the dinner service here!

A pistachio cake setting the standard for all pistachio cakes we may eat after.

The hotel was centrally located with easy access to train station and short distances from the airport and port

It’s also within walking distance to the tourist attractions. The hotel lounge is beautifully decorated in Christmas theme and the hotel is full of old world charm but very clean and updated at the same time.
