Columbus Sea Hotel

The hotel is fine if a bit dated. Staff were friendly and efficient. Rooms were fine and those facing the sea have a good view of the port and also the entire waterfront of the town.We chose it because it has free parking and the person whom we were visiting lives less than a km away. We also got a reasonable price. It is handy for the ferries but it is a good 20-30 minute walk into town. We encountered no difficulties but I am not sure everyone would feel comfortable walking from town or even from the nearest bus stop, especially at night. If one traveled by taxi the hotel is OK.

Located far from the centre and basically right next to the Port it's certanly not the ideal location for a nice getaway in Genova. If you are just staying here for a quick stop-over then it's ok, but any longer then find somewhere else. It's also a real pain to find with a complicated system of 1-way underpasses that led us to an interesting underpass where some ladies were very friendly with truck drivers. Breakfast ok and room apparently decorated by Stevie Wonder but staff were nice.

Staff friendly, had a room looking out onto busy port but was interesting and quiet at night. Short bus ride to centre of town and old city. Breakfast good.

We were en-route to Monaco so only needed a bed for the night. The hotel staff were very pleasant and professional. The room was good with comfortable beds. You could hear some noise through the closed windows but it was quiet at night. Very close to the emabarcation point for the ferries and on the doorstep of the shopping centre with a supermarket. Would happily use this hotel again in the same situation. Good buffet breakfast.

Clean, comfortable rooms, helpful staff. Near shoping center and short taxi ride to old city .

bad location

Rooms were clean and remodeled. Others in my party werent impressed with noise levels from the ships in the harbor but I didnt hear a thing. New plumbing and the place was updated.

We stayed at this hotel for two nights prior to a cruise from Genoa. We were impressed enough to rebook this hotel for a further night on return from our cruise and subsequent flight to the UK. We took the airport bus from Cristoforo Columbo airport. I asked the driver of the bus and he kindly dropped us off at the hotel since it was on the route from the airport to the main rail station in Genoa. We had a wonderful room with a view over the busy port. As a former seaman it could not have been better. We watched a spectacular thunder and lighting storm at night which was fantastic. The room was clean, spacious and the en suite facility included a bath which, for us, is great. There was TV with a British news channel as well as the usual continental channels. The breakfast was "Continental" but well presented and buffet style. This was just right to set up for a day of sightseeing in Genoa. Checkout was quick and easy and we had plenty time to take the half mile walk to the cruise terminal, again saving on taxi fares which are quite expensive. The staff could smile a bit more than they do and be "warmer" in their approach to clients but they were correct in their actions and information. We will use this hotel again should we ever be in this part of Italy or if we ever go on another cruise from Genoa. The one thing missing is tea/coffee facility in the room which seems a small cost considering the cost of the room. We would recommend this hotel

Columbus Sea Hotel lives up to its 4 star rating. Friendly and helpful staff. Rooms were spacious and bathroom was nice too. We stayed on the top floor with a sea view. The view of the piers and ships along with the city in the background was very nice. The breakfast buffet was the best!

Hotel is right next to the harbour, which makes the neighbourhood not very scenic. It's in the walking distance to the city, which is very nice on a sunny day.
