I really liked how helpful was the man who was there in the night shift. He let my friend and I use the microwave at night for the pizza we couldn't finish in the afternoon :) I also liked the fact that we had a refrigerator in the room.

Angélica, France

We were in room an hour and had to leave due to my grandson feeling ill and family came to help us. The staff was very helpful and pleasant....they had an elevator and showed me when he realized I was unable to climb with suitcases. I think the young man here was the most real and pleasant young man of all our stays. He wanted to give money back and we said no....the breakfast was free but we didn't stay. It was close to old old Genoa town...right in it and on the port front. It was not advised to go out at night...but a good site for old town and to many sites. The room was small but clean and I think it would of been a good experience for us. Very Italian.

The location was great. It is walking distance to the Marina and the Genoa Aquarium. Breakfast was included in the price of th room which was nice. There were quite a few restaurants in the area so we found something to eat pretty easily. We liked that the hotel accepts dogs. We had to pay 15 Eur/night/pet. The staff was nice and fixed a problem with the shower hose pretty quickly after I let them know it broke.

Willard, United States of America

it had lots and lots of steps to get into the fioya and there's no way around that breakfast wasn't very good it was a continental breakfast with nothing cooked and in a very small confined space not very well planned out the staff were very helpful but not much English spoken nice place but I wouldn't recommend you to somebody else we moved down the road for 2 nights bed best value People were great and helpful and we stayed on the ground floor and recommend that hotel to anyone and it must be for E47 hotel Genziana compared to 70 GBP for the other

“Come to Genova, folks. A beautiful city. Also: lots to do, really friendly people & lovely food.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Double Room
- • Stayed 5 nights
The double bed was two singles pushed together. One side of it was a lot firmer than the other, so my side (!) was not good for my back and a bit uncomfy. In fairness to Hotel Acquario, however, I didn't complain or ask to have it changed.
The hotel staff were helpful and friendly, checking us in a half hour or so early and answering all my tourist info queries kindly. Location was great for attractions at the modern port (couldn't be closer to the wonderful Aquarium) with other maritime and museum/gallery activities pretty much on the doorstep. Stay represented good value: we left it late to book, were pleased to find ourselves walking distance from so many sights and found buses handy and Genoa cheaper than other cities overall. The old town is right on the doorstep with its small winds and alleys leading up into lovely wide streets with great views and open piazzas, cathedrals and grand palazzos but above all the feel of a Italian centro storico. I was surprised by how close the main 'shopping' streets were to the hotel. This is such an attractive city with friendly people and loads to see, do and eat! Hope to come back to visit some of the areas missed during our 5 night stay - really enjoyed the walk along to Boccadasse. Didn't have time to visit the golden galleon right next door to the Acquario as we went to the Galata Museo del Mare instead. This has good exhibits with interpretive material about shipbuilding, maritime navigation, famous characters such as Colombus, life at sea and also migration out of Genova over several centuries. The focus not just on immigration to the US but also to Brazil and Argentina was fascinating, with the old photographs of family and working life plus stuff on emigrants' social lives through food, music and dance. Being treated as a new arrival at Ellis Island was a nice touch. The section on sub history finishing up with the simulated school for submariners was great fun and playing with the instuments, code-breaking etc. and making radar go ping was my favourite bit, along with the sounds/video materials of navy lads going about their work.

The staff was not very welcoming apart from a young person in the morning who was very nice. The room was small and old fashioned. The night before I was told that I was not allowed to invite anyone to the hotel with such a strong manner that really made me feel uncomfortable. Besides that, I have never had the intention to invite anyone. The hotel has white lights which I don't like; the wall painting is old fashioned. Apart from that, the location is very good and Genova is a beautiful city!
I think only the price which could have been been cheaper considering the offer. The young personnel is nice.

“The building was ancient and nicely renovated. Only complaint was no clean towels the 2nd day.”
- • Group of friends
- • Twin Room
- • Stayed 2 nights
Description stated that one had to climb some stairs before reaching the lift. This was maybe 12 steep steps, and nobody to help with luggage. Once we got to the front desk the grandpa on duty was cheerful, friendly, helped us cram our stuff into the lift which is on the 2nd floor by US counting.
Breakfast buffet was great with coffee machine that did all the latte etc that you could desire. Good selection of hard boiled eggs, fruit, juice. Only issue was they started closing it up 10 minutes before the time was up.

The breakfast buffet was very simple.
My bedroom was a very small convenient bedroom for one person, in the center of Genua. Own bathroom with shower, toilet, and sink. The breakfast was simple. No luxury, but definitely a good hotel. The staff was friendly - they only spoke Italian. I had a little problem finding the hotel. Once I found the hotel I discovered it's in the middle of the center and a very good place to stay! You can walk to it from the railway station. Next time I would go there again, I recommend the hotel if you don't need much luxury.
