Borgo Carige Holidays from £416

The hotel is located very near the autostrade and outside the walled city. Access is easy and direct. Staff were multi lingual and friendly. English was not a problem. Parking is free. Breakfast is served as a buffet and you do need to notify if you intend to partake. It is 13euros. There is a good variety, but it is the same every day. There is an espresso/coffee machine. Nothing available to order. Amenities. There aren’t any (like fitness room or pool). There are meeting rooms up from the lobby. The restaurant isn’t open beyond breakfast and they only offer the buffet. The bar is only open weekdays in the evening. There is a supermarket next door and a McDonald’s around the corner, both easy walking distance. A bit further are a couple of sit-down restaurants and a very good pizzeria. There are more pizzerias here than Starbucks in Seattle! We would stay there again. The lack of amenities isn’t important to us.

Excellent place

Simply stunning, no other details necessary!

We booked 3 nights at the hotel and found the location to be excellent. Within a 15 minute walk to all the major attractions. What we were disappointed in was the staff and accommodations. I asked for directions to the nearest bank ATM and you have thought I was asking for national security codes. We went to the rooftop bar twice in one evening and were told that the outdoor seating had been reserved, for 4 hours at a time. There several other couples that had been told the same thing. We proceeded to dine outdoor across the canal and could see the roof top bar from where we were sitting. We observed the tables not being used for at least 1.5 hours during that 4 hour block. When we back to the hotel after dinner and proceeded to the roof top bar again. We were told the same thing and spoke with 2 other couples that had been told the same thing. When I went to the front desk to inquire about this, the front desk staff couldn’t believe that was going on. I was assured they would follow up with me once they determined what was going on. I never heard from anyone after that. Next morning at breakfast one of the other couples from the bar the night before advised that they had witnessed money being exchanged between the employees and the individuals the seating was reserved for. Very disappointing that we paid for amenities we never were able to enjoy.
