Not at all as advertised. It shows up as a 4 star hotel. Instead imagine an old short-term rental studio with a confusing check-in and zero assistance. No front desk, no person to help. We got in and there were 4 packets with 4 different room keys sitting on a desk. Which room was ours? No clue. There were no names on the packets. I tried calling the number listed multiple times but no answer. So we picked a random room. Our family who arrived several hours before us had the same experience. Did we get rooms we paid for? Who knows. The room is really old. Door to the hallway doesn't close all the way with a single questionable lock. Doors to the windows and bathroom also don't close all the way. Only shampoo in the shower (no soap), two single towels. The daytime high was only 70 but without AC the room was really warm and too warm for us to sleep well. Had I booked a short-term rental half the price I would have been OK with all of this. But I booked what I thought was a 4 start hotel. Really disappointed and wishing I had spent half the amount I paid.

Belle chambre, toutefois l’accès est difficile (loin du stationnement qui est compliqué et l’accès à l’appartement était une certaine chasse au trésor). Une fois arrivée, la vie est belle et le logement est bien situé. Communication facile avec l’hôte. Aucune noirceur par contre en raison de l’air climatisé

4 sterrenhotel is iets te hoog beoordeeld....

Gastvrij ontvangen. Kreeg een half uur voor ontvangst aanwijzingen via app. Met codes werden we naar binnen begeleid. De kamerRuimte vonden we heerlijk met hoge plafonds. Er draaide 1 plafondventilator, Extra ventilatoren zouden voor meer comfort zorgen, want het was binnen net zo warm als buiten, 32°C... We kwamen met 4 volwassen en moesten helaas 1 grote handdoek 1gastendoek en 1 middelgrote handdoek delen.... Ze waren waarschijnlijk vergeten om de kamer van schoone linnengoed en handdoeken te voorzien en vier koffiecups te voorzien.... Nu zijn we niet de lastigste gasten om te delen van elkaar.... Al met al een prima plek om 1 nacht door te brengen.

Cosas que no se entienden para un cuatro estrellas

La ubicación lo mejor y la habitación correcta pero no encuentro de recibo que no haya recepción y para hacer la entrada sea un drama intentando contactar. Recomiendo haberlo hecho con antelación y no pensar que te encontrarás alguien esperando en recepción porqué no será así y te parecerá que te quedas sin alojamiento a última hora. Finalmente pudimos entrar y la señora muy amable todo sea dicho.

Really interesting property.

Really interesting place. Very large room tall ceilings with a fan. My room had two beds but I was a single booking. The place is hard to find not a hotel more like airbnb rental. Lady incharge of check-in knew zero English but the process was simple enough as was check out. Very good value for money but I was in early summer season.

Visiting historic centre of Genoa

4 day visit to Genoa and surrounding area. The Palazzo Cicala is situated a 5 minute walk from San Giorgio metro. Access to apartment complex by door code at street entrance. I stayed two nights in basic apartment € 75 and two nights in superior apartment € 111. Both rooms spacious, small fridge, coffee machine. Room windows face out onto small square. Beds comfortable. I thought it was reasonable value for money given the excellent location.

This hotel is a joke.

There was nobody there when we arrived. They had not sent us the key less entry code and I had to call back to the USA for it. The rooms had missing lights/non working lights. The bathrooms were a joke and dirty. There was no staff to talk too and I was over charged for an extra room that I never booked for.

Un attrape-nigaud !

C’est un attrape-nigaud !!! Soit disant un 4 etoiles dans un Palazzo. Mais personne pour nous accueillir, nous avons eu le code d’entrée par message, nous sommes restés 10 mn à essayer d’ouvrir la porte, et heureusement quelqu’un est arrivé....une sorte de jeu de piste pour arriver à notre chambre. Serviettes trouées, salle de bains minuscule et peu pratique. Une impression de palais de la belle au bois dormant, où nous avons croisé une femme de ménage le dernier jour. Certainement le 4 étoiles qui emploie le moins de personnel !

Posizione fantastica

La scelta era stata fatta per la vicinanza all'acquario, con 4 bambini è stato strategico. Ma la posizione è fantastica perché è nel cuore di Genova antica, nella piazza della chiesa romanica di S. Lorenzo. Alla sera sulla via S. Lorenzo si è radunata un'umanità bellissima e coloratissima! I bambini erano assolutamente a loro agio anche nei vicoletti caratteristici della zona, che consiglio assolutamente di esplorare.
