“The location is quite good for exploring Genoa, placing guests within a short walk of the Aquarium and other cultural hotspots. However, the hotel's position on a busy roundabout makes for potentially difficult arrivals, and the musty smell and cleanliness issues need addressing. While a gluten-free breakfast is available by request, limited seating could lead to waits.”
