Tower Genova Airport Hotel & Conference Center

Tower Genova Airport Hotel & Conference Center

8/10 Good
"We only stayed one night for exploring Genoa and to leave for an early morning flight. Staff were lovely and the hotel was nice (if a little dated). The only downside is difficulties getting in and out of Genoa itself. We went for the evening and got the airlink bus to the train station and then came home at 11pm and there were no more airlink shuttle services and no taxis so we needed to do a dark walk in a not so nice area back to the hotel. Otherwise a great stay."

"The hotel looks modern and clean and our room has plenty of space and looked nice. I think some of the photos are a bit misleading, as the roof terrace isn't that large. The hotel is located a bit from the centre of Genova, so too far to walk. There isn't many restaurants in the locality, but there is a supermarket next door. There is a car park underground, but it is rather small and space is not guaranteed. Overall, it is a nice hotel, and if you have a car then worth staying here."

"This is a good standard hotel which for the price, in peak summer, was decent value. The lobby and restaurant were pleasant and clean. The food was good, and the service in the restaurant was friendly and professional, both in the evening and at breakfast, for which there was a good selection. The room was large and well equipped. Aircon seemed stuck on 26C but as it was 34C outside, it was great! Only downside was the carpet (unusual for an Italian hotel) and bedding looked like it had seen better days (although bedding was spotless). Overall, very positive, especially if you want to spend a day in a shopping centre (not for me!)"
