Charming Genova | Residenza d'Epoca

Loved it for the adventure and friendly staff. But it's not a typical hotel: Finding the unmarked entry and making sure we coordinated arrival with our hosts. But it worked out perfectly. It's really an old "inn." Plus there are a few flights of stairs. But it's location right in the center of everything walkable (but not loud and off the main street). (Not good for cars probably.)

SIMPLY RUBBISH!! CHARMING? WHAT CHARMING? EVERYTHING WAS SO DATED AND NOT CURRENT. STAIRS WERE NOISY, SOME LIGHT BULBS WERE DEAD AND NOT BEING REPLACED. SHOWER ROOM SMELL, COFFEE MACHINE WAS OUTSIDE THE ROOM WHICH DID NOT WORK PROPERLY, OUTSIDE THE PREMISES WERE VERY NOISY WITH BARS!! THIS PROPERTY WAS PROBABLY CONVERTED FROM THEIR SPARE HOUSE/ROOMS INTO A HOTEL LIKE ROOMS TO MAKE MONEY FOR THE OWNER BUT IT WAS SO CLEAR THAT THEY SPEND VERY LITTLE MONEY FOR CONVERSION. VALUE FOR MONEY? FAR FROM IT!! WILL NOT USE THIS POOR ACCOMODATION AGAIN EVEN IF IT IS FOR FREE!!　　 YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!

We were just visiting for a night, the room we stayed in we paid around 1000 sek for 1 night which I believe to be a reasonable price for the room we had (Romantic doubleroom). The host couple were really nice and helpful, they gave a lot of reccomendations and there was also coffee and tea in the corridor. Location was also great. There is a little strange smell from the bathroom sometimes, but it was solved by just closing the bathroom door. Probably the pipes are just old (it is an old, historic building)

I had 2 great days. I was there for work and this was a perfect place, when you are tired of normal hotels. the location makes this place special. Room has what you need for relaxe and recover and prepaire for seing Cenoa.

The location is good - near groceries, restaurants, transportation, shopping, etc. There is no reception, so the host comes to meet you with the keys. He was quick to respond. The room looked beautiful. However the bathroom has been quite used. The shower drain wasn’t working well so we couldn’t take a shower for more than 5-10 mins without the risk of the floor being flooded. I guess it makes sense why the shower pressure was so low too. Our room had adjoining doors to the next room, which is ok, however there’s a big gap under the door and the large keyhole was taped up for privacy purposes. So we could hear the next room over quite clearly. Considering the price, the location is good, but perhaps some missing amenities/small touches. We only had really small tubes of soap (all in one shampoo conditioner and soap) for showering. There was no mini fridge. Overall it was an average stay with a room that looks beautiful on the surface, but the price didn’t feel justified.

For the right traveler this is a hidden gem, but it’s not the accommodation that is advertised nor what we were looking for when we booked. Take care booking though. There is no outdoor pool; there is a public lido at 850m away that would have cost us €48 per day. There is no nearby beach; the nearest being several km away and needing a car, train or bus. The owner has suggested that this is a translation problem that has been raised several times with **********. As the client, I have no interest in who to blame; only that we did not get what we booked and reasonably expected. All that said, if you are looking for a small, characterful, interesting stay in the centre of Genoa then this could be for you. It’s convenient, clean, and a bit different to just another ‘chain’ hotel room

Amazing stay, location is great, owners are lovely, clean rooms, bed is super comfy, shower is amazing… couldn’t of been better for a solo trip

The most perfect location and a beautiful apartment. Good communication and a nice welcome. We can highly recomment this place

The place was in a nice location and the house is pretty, but there were several things listed/promised that were not here, like a TV with Netflix and premium channels. There was no pool that we could find within 300 meters, as listed, but there was one near the wharf. The communication with the host was great ti start but then when his assistant took over she brushed us off, was a little rude, and rushed out of the house before explaining anything to us. We had to call her a few times to get the wifi password. The table tops were dirty when we arrived as well.
