This hotel in Genova Nervi is welcoming and convenient to the train station, the promenade along the seaside, and to Parcchi Nervi. The staff are friendly and helpful, and the rooms are clean and spacious, with lots of storage and good bedding. There is onsite parking and each room has a balcony. The dinner was tasty (and reasonable wine list) and lunch is served in a quiet outdoor shaded area that features a grill menu. The clientele tend to be older; we saw no children or teens (or 20s or 30s....). We would happily go back, but if you are looking for modern, hip, and snazzy you might be happier somewhere else.

“Paid for the location”

I would expect more for the rate paid but this is Genoa and is great located. Excellent located, you can just park the car and forget it, making it easier to explore this city by taking the train (train station is very close) to downtown or as a base to explore the Ligurean Riviera.

I would expect more for the rate paid but this is Genoa and is great located. Excellent located, you can just park the car and forget it, making it easier to explore this city by taking the train (train station is very close) to downtown or as a base to explore the Ligurean Riviera. Nearby there is a seaside promenade, nice to have a walk if don’t want to go far. Rooms are OK, simple, good sized bathroom (with tiles that remind the 60’s 70’s) we had one with balcony, just OK. Breakfast is served in a main ground room, the basics and most are packaged products (biscuits, jams, toasts etc.) Very good the position and the hotel if not demanding in category, style and service, but I think is pricey for the product offered.

We stayed here for a week in September. We wanted a base to explore the Ligurian Riviera and this proved to be perfect. Our room was on the small side and a little dated particularly the bathroom but it was very clean and the small balcony which overlooked the village and the surrounding countryside got the late afternoon sun and sunsets. The breakfasts were ok choice of cooked meats and cheese cereals,fresh fruit and cakes breads and pastries. There was scrambled eggs and bacon although not on our last morning for some reason. We had dinner in the restaurant a couple of times and the the food was very good and prices reasonable. It was nice to be able to sit outside on the terrace. The hotel seemed very quiet and seemed in the main to be used by business men.This meant the hotel lacked atmosphere. Staff were pleasant efficient and helpful . The hotel is only a few hundred metres from the railway station which meant it was perfect for trips to other places along the coast. We loved Nervi itself not at all touristy we felt and full of local charm. We will definitely return to Nervi and would choose this hotel again.
