That's totally fair. However it did mean I couldn't take many photos for Yelp! We stayed one night here while transiting between Rome and Nice. Our room overlooked the square with the Christopher Columbus (boooooo) statue and was literally 30 seconds from the main train station. Our room was beautiful and massive, very comfortable bed and we loved the mechanical blackout shades that blocked sound and light from the busy streets below. The coolest surprise here with the Spa. If your room comes with access like ours did, don't skip out on taking advantage of it. Each room with spa access can book one 1-hour session per day. The spa includes a circuit of hydrotherapy pool, steam room, sauna room, emotional shower (yes really that's it's name), hot stone lounge, and ice sink. Silence is appreciated. There are no phones allowed for the privacy of the other guests which is limited to six people. Bathing suits are required. It was incredibly relaxing and cured quite a bit of travel soreness. Fresh juice, water, and hot herbal tea along with robes and slippers are provided. After our spa visit we hit the bar, it was super swanky and we felt the need to dress up a bit! But it was fun. The bartender provided a very high level of service as we lounged on a gorgeous cream and blue davenport style couch and enjoyed our drinks and nibbles. Breakfast was included and fine, but the buffet felt disorganized and it was awkward trying to order a coffee, there wasn't a dedicated barista so you had to kind of flag someone that was minding the buffet or seating patrons. I would have been happy making my own coffee so this isn't meant to come across as snobbish! But they didn't allow it so it was sort of a problem. If you're in Genoa, I do recommend a stay here. One night was great, two would have been fine, but more than...ehhh. Go venture out to Portofino instead!

The bathroom had every amenity that you could need. We had a walk-in shower and a bath tub. The towels were large and great they also had a warming bar for the towels bath robes, and slippers they have a coffee machine complementary and they give you a bottle of water every day. The TV unfortunately didn't have very many channels in English. I don't understand why they don't put the fashion channel on all the TVs in Italy, since this is a one of fashion capital of the world, the roof floor seven where you had breakfast every morning was a nice way to start your day overlooking the city of Genoa the breakfast was plentiful. Anything you could possibly eat including gluten free products more than I've seen in most hotels, and the homemade pies if you stay here too many days, you would definitely gain weight from that the staff was excellent. You got your own food but they did bring you your coffee, we ate dinner in the restaurant which was the same place where breakfast was it was good but I really enjoyed the Trattoria that also part of hotel which was down the street from the hotel and since we already have been up in the morning and having that great view of Genoa, it was nice if you're staying in the hotel, I would definitely recommend eating in both of the restaurants and if you're not staying in a hotel, but you're in the area they are definitely worth your time to try and definitely make sure you get breakfast included because it was delicious I was happy that they had the restaurants in the hotel because the areas a little seedy remember we are in a train station area but it's very good for walking During the day to all the activities that you will be doing when you're in the city I would not hesitate to stay in this hotel again, and I'm going to check the hotel chain for other hotels in Italy

We stayed on the 6th floor which gave us a view both up and down. We didn't spend a lot of time in Genoa, but the Bristol Palace is centrally located in the heart of Genoa and gave us a chance to see a great many interesting sights within a relatively short walk from our Hotel. It's not far at all from the Ducal Palace, the Carlo Felice Theatre, Old Port, and the most significant museums and historical buildings. We also didn't spend a lot of time in the Room, as were out most of the time exploring. However, the bed was comfortable, the shower was full and hot, Wifi was strong, and a good breakfast was served. And at around 140 Euros per night (including the mandatory Tourist Tax), it was a good value for the money.

The location is convenient with several restaurants next door and across the street. If you drive, parking can be expensive, but I think the prices would be similar at any of the hotels in the area. This place is also popular. When we arrived they were sold out. Luckily we had booked online. This place is also very secure. You are given a key to get you into all the doors that you will need to go through to get to your room. Now about the room, if you like fresh air, you are able to open the window, but there is also air conditioning. The room size was nice especially if you compare this to other hotels in Europe. The bed was comfortable, there was a closet for your clothes and a mini fridge. Also the staff was very friendly amd took extra time to show us how to work the doors etc. I would definitely stay here again.

This is part of a chain in Italy (think Hilton or Marriott), and we had stayed at a StarHotels in Milan several years ago and were very pleased. The room was lovely, spacious; but, without air conditioning (at least on the first night). When we complained, they said they do not turn on the A/C until June. Excuse me; Genoa was having a heat wave! They did unlock our window so we could get fresh air into the room - so sleeping was okay. We turned on the fan in the room. However, I think many hotel guests complained, and it appeared we had A/C for the remaining days. The Wi-Fi worked really well. The bathroom was spacious, I would have preferred a bathroom with a separate shower; not one in the tub. We were shown a room with that, but it was small and cramped, so we went with this room. We were really impressed by Maria Grazia in the dining room who, on our first and subsequent mornings at the hotel, remembered us and knew that we liked cappuccinos for our breakfast drink. She was always so pleasant and welcoming. The hotel was conveniently located across from the Stazione di Genova Brignole and the Metropolitana Di Genova (Metro). The bus stopped right outside the door to the hotel. We enjoyed several restaurants that were within walking distance of the hotel. The views from our room were stunning. All in all, we really enjoyed our stay.

You reach it by either the Zecca-Righi funiculare at Larga della Zecca, or the unique Art Deco/Nouveau elevator off Piazza del Portello.

There's even a post office if the urge to write home strikes you! Families and kids come to relax here, and it'd be a great place for your own to meet and mingle with some Genovese over a gelato or a cool drink on a warm afternoon high above the noise and bustle of the city below.
