I travel a lot for work and pleasure and I struggle to think of a hotel I've stayed at with better value.
The location is fantastic, LOVED the design- breathtaking centuries old lobby with modern yet comfortable rooms. However, the staff was the best of all. They did everything they possibly could to make my stay comfortable, enjoyable and easy. Before I arrived they provided excellent directions to the hotel and throughout my stay they were incredibly responsive on Whatsapp. In their shoes, I would have considered myself a bit high maintenance- asking for help with quite a few things- but as they excel in hospitality, they seemed to enjoy helping me. I am very grateful.
To answer a few other comments about the hotel, my AC worked perfectly, my room was quiet (and I am a very light sleeper). The bed was comfy, there were numerous outlets. I went alone and felt safe walking back in the surrounding street at night. Driving in Genova for the first time, alone, is confusing but that is not the hotel's fault- they do everything they can to help. My impression was either they've adjusted things from complaints AND/OR the people who complained missed things (for example, the AC totally works when the windows are shut. It's ridiculous for the AC to work with windows open). I fully agree with the feedback about breakfast- it is delicious and international and served with love. It's also a very smart, customer-centric solution to COVID and other hotels would do well to copy their model. I'm probably relatively conservative/concerned about COVID safety and I felt absolutely safe with the measures in the hotel.
They care, it's a beautiful hotel and perfect location. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others. My NPS is 10.
One tip for others, I was super confused finding the parking lot- again, not their fault. I ended up in Marina Park that was probably the same price/better as their discount, not right by the port but a 10- 15 Eur taxi to the hotel.
Thanks again for an awesome stay!
We stayed here in May 2019. We came to Genoa without a plan and stumbled upon this LOVELY hotel. From the beginning, everything about this hotel was absolutely perfect. The rooms are clean, modern, and spacious. We loved the decor of the hotel room and shared spaces. The water and snacks on the floor were also a great touch. Everyone on staff was so helpful. They provided us a map with dining recommendations.
What really impressed me was our experience after we left. We had shipped some souvenirs back from Genoa and unfortunately, it was returned by customs to the hotel. They (Stephanie and IIaria) were INCREDIBLY HELPFUL - fabulous, prompt, kind, compassionate, accommodating - I can go on and on about how amazing they were through this process. They were to coordinate with the shop we bought our goods from in a DIFFERENT city and get it back to us in perfect condition. I will be forever grateful and would wholeheartedly recommend this hotel to ANYONE. Please stay here - you will not regret it!!
The stay’s been amazing and the location and the staff are highly qualified and friendly.
The great location allow you to experience the city at 360 degree. Close to the city centre it’s easy to reach all the main attractions within minutes and it’s also located strategically to guarantee a relaxing but well planned stay.
I highly recommend you to book your stay at Locanda Di Palazzo Cicala.
Really exceeded our expectations. The location was excellent. Just within the caruggi which brings the real feeling of Genoa while also only a staircase away from the larger streets with the shops and metro station. The staff were very friendly and helpful throughout and one of the few places which allowed late check in. The room was modern in style with a comfortable bed and good shower. Only one minor thing we missed, would have loved more storage space or hooks to hang things on.
Careful attention to detail, being there is an experience and not just a stay. Amazing place. Riccardo is a lovable person, of a unique kindness. I thank him heartily. Straconsigliato
Great familial hotel. Lovely tenants. Very good situation. Some features are a bit outdated but nothing to disturb my stay. Very hot shower. Kettle and fridge.
Photos show the reality.
Very nice hotel with friendly staff and awesome room interior. Close to the old town of Genua. We would definitely come back again! And special thanks to Isabella for the very warm welcome and the tips and recommendations! We really appreciated that!
I was there summer of 2018 for a hole month
Love it well located close to everything train station bus car rental restaurants cafe's stores all within walking distance very convenient
I was there for bussisnes but I made a holiday out of it
Very pleased will be back
Excellent central location, nice and tidy rooms, kind staff. Everything is in walking distance. Sights of Genoa, bars, restaurants, port, train station nearby. I recommend this hotel. Grazie!
Great hotel in the center of Genova. Parking 5 min walk at €22/day. Rooms are good size and with high ceilings. Friendly and welcoming staff. Lots of bars and restaurants nearby. A good choice and value for money
Great hotel highly recommended to visit Genova.
Location: Very close (5 min walking) to the port and the main squares (Piazzas). Many restaurants (for breakfast or dinner) are in the area. Bear in mind that the apartments are located in a fourth floor.
Maintenance: Rooms are comfortable, clean and nicely equiped.
Staff: Always very friendly and supportive.
Positive:
Very nice hotel in the perfect location of the city. Perfect starting point, with a nice view of the harbour during breakfast, to explore the city. Everything is within easy walking distance. Staff is very friendly and open to help. Upon arrival we weren't really happy with the view of the room. Once we pointed this out we were shown several other (similar) rooms and we could choose the one we preferred. An absolute great service! Quality of the food and the hotel itself is very good, and well organised to comply with Corona regulations.
Negative:
25 EUR per night for parking is quite excessive. Would advise to apply a more reasonable fee. Especially given the parking spaces are VERY small and a significant amount could not be used as a number of cars (including ours) did not properly fit in the spots.
Central location. Very friendly and helpful staff. Great apartment rooms with private kitchen and bathrooms. Breakfast buffet amazing. Very accommodating! Thanks fir making our ten days enjoyable
Really nice place!! The room had little natural light but everything else was great! The host was very helpful and nice! They provided a breakfast in the room so you can enjoy it the next day. It included juices, milk, yogurt, spreadable cheese, toast, bread, croissants, cookies, fruit, and jams/nutella. They also had multiple coffee options and a coffee maker. Wonderfully spacious, would recommend!
#1: The personnel is most accommodating, and my room was spacious. #2: Fabulous central staircase. #3: Nice breakfast and restaurant meals. #4: Convenient location. I need to return to explore Genoa more.
