The location near the train station was perfect for us, seeing we arrived from Firenze in the afternoon. The woman at the desk on the day we checked was friendly and extremely helpful. She provided us with a map of the area, sites and suggestions for transportation. The room was lovely with a beautiful view of the train station. It was easy to get a taxi at 5 in the morning for the short ride to the airport. Dinner at their restaurant was very nice. A wonderful hotel for travelers.

The number of TV channels was limited and it was necessary to pay to rent movies. However the rental ordering system in our room was broken. An hour before the end of our four day stay, somebody was sent in to repair this. The dining room was understaffed at breakfast and depressingly empty at dinner. The proximity to the railroad station and Palazzo Reale is wonderful, but there aren't many restaurants nearby. Most of the closest ones are in the old town on the hill down toward the water, and these streets are dark and feel a bit threatening late at night. Still, it is a short walk to other major tourist destinations. The building itself is charming and the staff capable and friendly.

Wonderfully positioned within walking distance of the centre. Parking to unload then guarded parking locally. Fantastic lift. A very comfortable hotel in a very good position.

We staid two nights in the hotel.First night was awful because of noise in the street ( works in progress during night) Staff has been kind enough to move us in a quieter room for the second night. Considering category of hotel, it should plan for investing in a new elevator!

Pretty good option for the railpass holiday that we were on... try to get a room at the back. We were at the front and the usual trade off between oxygen and noise was brought into play. Decent location for a walkabout....didn't try breakfast. I feel comfortable recommending this hotel at the price that we paid.

amenities in bath room and room are nice for me but some dust are in ashtray and before the mirror. Employees who clean rooms should care of them. The room I stayed is just front of the road, I woke up twice during the night. I satisfied variety of breakfast and I could leave my big suit case after check out.

Street was closed, under construction - hotel entry almost undiscernable. No doorman when I arrived. In area of few restaurants for dinner. Construction may have been a positive factor for a very quiet room for a city hotel. Generous size room. Pleasant restaurant. No public lounge space. Would stay again for good access to train, clean, quiet, nice room, and good service. (got a cab at 4 am)

Stayed for two days in Savoia Genova, 3 adults and 3 children (in two rooms). Hotel is very clean and furnishings of a high quality, the bathroom facilities are also of the best and spacious I have experienced in Italy. The breakfast is also one of the best with an extremely wide variety. Suitable for a family with 1 or 2 children. The only down side was the building operations next door. I would definitely recommend the hotel to visitors in Genova, as the hotel is quite conveniently located in one of the better areas.

the hotel is ok, there are no nice sorrounds dings but the train station is right there and you have access to the airpot, if you have a very early fligh is risky to take the trains is 30 euros to the airport

The hotel was beautiful in the classic tradition of European hotels. The room was very quiet and nicely appointed including the marble bath. Francesco went above and beyond to help us recover an internet receipt we needed in order to board a ferry. The hotel is located directly across the square from the train station at which we arrived and it was a short cab ride to the port to catch the ferry when leaving. The hotel is an elegant, convenient place to stay when visiting the city. If you are traveling from Italy to Spain, use the overnight ferry service which, with a cabin, cost us 254 Euros versus about 3,000 to rent a car and fly. Genova is a city I would like to visit again and I will stay at the Savoia. We especially liked the elevator which is a must see.

I hesitate to stay in hotels near train stations but the area was very quiet, clean and safe. The breakfast was exceptional and our room very nice. I would definitely stay here again.

Hotel was fine and close to train station but not as close to cruise terminal as information suggested, also this seems to be the rougher end of town.

A lovely hotel with an excellent location. The room was wonderful, decorated with good taste and excellent quality. I simply enjoyed my trip, not only Genoa itself, but also enjoyed while staying in the room. A lovely experience to be remembered in the future!

Very convenient for train travelers, but not for auto travelers. A nice "retro" experience, complete with "tower of terror" elevator and small rooms.

It was a comfortable stay. My sleeping room & bathroom(with bath tub) are spacious, and I like the old fashioned style of the building and decor. Absolutely "excellent" for Quality vs.Price. Only thing if I think it may be negative is location. It's very convenient to the station(Principe), but a bit far from center of the city. Other than that, staff are efficiently helpful, and not overly friendly. Recommendable for a short stay. If I could get similar room rate again, I would like to stay there again.

La stanza era piccolina ma molto carina, ben attrezzata e soprattutto pulita! La colazione è davvero molto molto abbondante! E se andate a Genova in treno quest'hotel è l'ideale, visto che è attaccato alla stazione

Grandissimi problemi di parcheggio. Se andate con la vostra auto mettete in conto un salatissimo garage per la notte (17 Euro!!) o una difficoltosissima ricerca di un parcheggio su strada. Nel complesso un buon hotel, anche se attualmente sono in corso dei lavori che lo rendono un po rumoroso.

The location of the hotel is excellent - perfect if you want to stay somewhere that is not too expensive and within easy reach of exploring Genova. However, the map / directions on the website are terrible; fortunately, though the signs around Genova are very clear. The welcoming was poor - the receptionist was unprofessional, a real misery and very unfriendly. The barman, however, was really professional and very charismatic. The rooms were average - perfectly clean and nicely decorated, although fairly small - and you need to get your hiking boots on, the distance it took to get to your room from the reception!
