This was the second time we stayed in Hotel Helvetia and if we go to Genoa once again we will definately stay in this hotel.It has a very good location, close to everything. The hotel staff was very helpful and friendly. There is a free and rather speedy internet. We stayed in this hotel in April and the heating was very poor.

The central position in Genua is great. The breakfast was ok and the personal friendly. The room was wet (really, like water droppring from things in the bathroom). In general, the place was clean, but not really well maintained. Not a complain: Beware of the parking possibilities, it is ok to leave the keys with the garage owner. They won't steal your car, at least they didn't steal mine ;). Obviously, this is a common thing in Italy.

Very good staff and helpful. However, had a warm shower the first night along with no heating, room was very cold. 2Nd night when the heating situation was the same I was thankfully given a electric heater by the very nice lady at reception. Bathroom is constantly very, very cold and damp.

Good location for Genova, close to the marina and with lots of shops, restaurants and bars within a few minutes walk. We went with three motorbikes and whilst there is free parking available within a five minute walk, we left them in an underground garage for ten euros a day. The breakfast was excellent with a selection of fresh pastries, breads and cereals.

The hotel is very close to the railway station and an easy walk. It is located very close to everything including the marina. Very nice staff, excellent English and very helpful.The hotel is a very classic European hotel, small but beautiful inside. Very romantic. The Breakfast was excellent and there is some on duty 24 hours, to get you some tea etc. I can recommend this hotel with no problem. I wish we had stayed longer. Also the owner has kept historical items for the life of the hotel, so you can tell he really cares about it.

Perfect location. Very good stuff. They helped us with everything - parking, sightseeing, dining places, etc. Will definitely recommend. A/C is very noisy and not cooling, Breakfast is quite limited and very quickly disappears because of many people for the small amount, Then you need to wait for it to renew.

The location was good, while at the same time not far from the motorway. On the other hand, this hotel offered private parking in a near by garage. But our big thanks go to the female receptionist, apart from being friendly and helpful she gave us good service while she also spoke quit good English. Breakfast: Satisfied as we had good food and service. During our holiday we stayed in three different hotels. When one compare like with like this was the most expensive one, but I regret to say that it was not up to standard as one expected. It is in a great need of a renovation.

Location great with easy walking to waterfront, and old town, meals etc. Needed to injclude fruit for breakfast as I am gluten and dairy free. Hotel stay was marred by difficulty with parking our car after 11pm. Even though we told receptionist that we had parked in front of the parking door he said it was ok . We said we would shift at 7am when building was opened. But We were towed away and cost e192 to retreave. This equates to $nz390 so a lot of money for bad advice. Very cross with this outcome.

The breakfast was good, but should not be served on plastic plates. We liked the location of the hotel for a city visit. Bathroom was very small, and not really suitable for family with bigger kids.

The hotel is ideally situated. It is about half a mile from the railway station for trips to the resorts along the coast. It is uphill but frequent buses will take you there, though if you do go by bus you will miss interesting palaces and cafes. What you cannot miss is the fantastic church just across the road.Baroque and then some! Just around the corner towards the fascinating old port are some excellent restaurants and cafes (a bright modern one had just opened to complement the traditional ones). If you are travelling with your wife or girl friend beware of all the wonderful shops in town. Apart from the city itself with its art galleries, churches, old port and palaces the stars of this show are undoubtably the excellent and informative hotel staff who all show that they care about you and will always go the extra mile to help.
