I have been going to the Hotel Helvetia for a number of years with a large group of people. The hotel is an historic 3*** hotel right in the center of town and it is near all main activities. These include the famous aquarium, the Galata museum and all of the fantastic historic streets, the port and the many museums... More

We recently visited Genoa with 4 people travelling so needed 2 rooms. There was a large difference between the two rooms. Our room was located in the back of the hotel overlooking an alley. It was on the small side and a little dreary. The noise from below during the night was quite loud. The bed was average, and the... More

We are a biased with this hotel, because this hotel is one of our favourites. When we go to the cruise from Genova we always stay here. Last time we slept here in this October. The hotel location is ideal, only few step the old port, and a centre. The staff is helpful, enough one e-mail, and they confirm our... More

This hotel has been in operation for hundreds of years, and it's the most bizzare hotel I've ever seen. Rooms are decent, with good views at the front. No internet in the rooms. No parking onsite; hardly any parking at all nearby. 6/10 More

Dear Mr Ben,thank you very much for your kind report, our Hotel is really operating since a hundred years and the historical building that hosts us is dated 1585. An old building with a modern target: let people feel at home. We're glad to tell you that we have set up complimentary wireless facility throughout the hotel, which is always... More

This hotel is well located, not too far from the main train station. The rooms were wonderfully comfortable and clean. Good value for money and the breakfast which is included in the room rate is exceptional. Of all of the places I have stayed in Italy the staff in Hotel Helvetia were the most helpful and friendly and drew all... More

We stayed 2 nights at this hotel in a triple room which cost us 98euro a night and is located opposite a lovely church. The hotel is located in a building erected in 1583, not that it's medieval origins are easy to visualize until you go upstairs into some of the rooms and experience the maze like structure and extremely...

This is a lovely little hotel across from the most beautiful church. Access to everything was easy, good restaurants, tourist sites, tour buses etc. The hotel is very old but also quite modern. We would stay there again. More

Good: Perfect location. Very good stuff. They helped us with everything - parking, sightseeing, dining places, etc. Will definitely recommend. Bad: A/C is very noisy and not cooling, Breakfast is quite limited and very quickly disappears because of many people for the small amount. Then you need to wait for it to renew. More

Stayed in August 2011. Staff immediately told me where to park, and where helpful throughout: always going the extra mile. Rooms are clean and quite spacious. It isn't a top of the range hotel, but incredible quality for the price. Airco in our room and view of the piazza, but no problem with any noise. Breakfast is typical Italian with... More
