This property is suitable for people who don’t care about the comfortableness when you decide to stay in the old and historic district in Europe. I felt that I was in the ghost house while I was in this hotel

Dear mr Kiriko, we are very sorry to read your words about your stay. We don't exactly understand the meaning of your comment, the Palace is an original building from the 16th century, this is the best details that you can find in Italy. It was completly renovated a few years ago and offers all the comforts required of a 4-star hotel. What did you miss during your stay?Please let us know better your message. best regards

This hotel is in such a cool part of Genoa. It is not accessible by car. You have to walk through many alleyways down a hill to get to it. It’s deeply embedded in one of the most beautiful parts of the city. This area had everything from pharmacies to five star restaurants. Our hotel had a beautiful view. The staff were kind and we had all the amenities that we needed. The staff was very helpful when we needed accommodations for our car. They were very knowledgeable about the area and spoke fantastic English. We will definitely be returning to this property when we visit again, and we truly appreciated how we were treated. The rooms are beautiful. further, there is a beautiful rooftop with seating and meals offered. The cost of the meal is very low for the high quality of food that you got. They had omelettes, fruit, desserts, beverages, great coffee. The view is stellar and it’s a very comfortable and quiet place. The hotel overall feels brand new, despite being in what appears to be a very historic building. I can’t emphasize enough how valuable it was to be so central. This hotel is definitely a gem.

This may be an Expedia issue, but our room was not up to the standards of what is advertised. It faced two allies and was dark. I could hear the person above me walking around. My only complaint with this hotel was the location of the room compared to what I expected. Other than that, the staff was great, breakfast was great, the location was great, the lobby of the hotel and the 2nd floor was incredible. I was just not expecting a room that was clearly not one of their best locations. Again, this may be Expedia misreprenting the hotel rather than the hotel.

Dear Mark,Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback about your recent stay with us. We're delighted to hear that you appreciated various aspects of our hotel, such as our dedicated staff, great breakfast, and the overall location. We apologize if the room you were assigned did not meet your expectations, it features original 1500s cotto floor and wooden ceiling, preserving the rich history of the building but as it faced the lateral alleys, it is indeed a bit darker and usually more quiet compared to the rooms facing the square.We truly appreciate your feedback and we hope that despite the room issue, you were still able to enjoy the historical charm of our hotel.Once again, thank you for your review, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future to provide a more satisfying experience.Warm regards,The staff

Amazing Palazzo stay
We had an amazing stay, the hotel's 16th century architecture is amazing! The retrofitting of modern amenities make the rooms very convenient. It's such an elegant place in the middle of the Genoa historical city center surrounded by shopping and restaurants. I would recommend this hotel and would love to stay in again.

A lot of stairs to our room, awkward with luggage & if you had mobility issues. Small room for the $633 a night without taxes. The breakfast had few hot dishes, okay but coffee was never hot! Nice hotel but I'd choose to go someplace else in the future. Genoa is beautiful. The staff was very nice.

If you can find it, it's delightful!
This is a lovely property although almost impossible to locate. GPS does not work properly in the inner city maze where it is located in Genoa and this property is tucked on a walkable only street within a street within an alley. There is no street access. Parking is very far away, expensive and hard to locate as there was no clear communication from the hotel prior to our arrival. We almost gave up finding the property and headed to Tuscany early. Once inside, it is a beautiful, clean and an interesting experience. The front desk staff is all quite patient and wonderful. Their English in very good. The cleaning staff were over the top - in a great way! Beds were a little hard and Ikea-like yet bathrooms were divine and the common "library" where you can get coffee, see interesting art, and read cool books is extraordinary. Hearing the ancient bells from your room is a cool experience, too. It's perfect for a romantic getaway if you are flying into Genoa and your cab / Uber driver knows where to find it.

Close to everything, excellent breakfast, very nice and very clean room, great shower, beautiful building. Lots of great places to eat within a 5 minutes walk. I was not familiar with what Genoa Centro Storico is like before I booked this hotel, so I was not prepared for how narrow and twisted those tiny streets are. The hotel itself is super nice, but the area is a bit peculiar, especially at night.
