Guest Reviews

• Leif (10/5): - Rigtig fin beliggenhed stort værelse med fantastisk udsigt.
• Filiz (8/5): - Keine bzw wenig Parkplätze die überteuert sind und man innerhalb von 4 min einen Strafzettel bekommt.
• Marie (10/5): - En arrivant à 22h30, j’ai pu contacter par téléphone le gérant qui m’a répondu dans la seconde. J’ai beaucoup apprécié.
• Malin (8/5): - Nice suit hotel. Clean and comfy. Owner
• Verified traveler (6/5): Beautiful room, Poor Management - We were double booked, given the access code for a room which was already occupied. Since no one is actually at the property, it took over a hour to reach the management. We were finally discovered by a cleaning lady. Who let us into another room. The next day we were rudely told we needed to move to the original room. It was added stress by the manager for no apparent reason.
• Pascal (8/5): - Luxurious apartment, friendly staff
• Verified traveler (4/5): Stay away - To begin with - the room was nice. Nice bed and bathroom, nice table and windows. But other than that there’s not much great to say… The check in process was so weird. We had not received any information about how to check in, how to get the key, how to find the right room, or anything else really. We had to call the owner when we got here. It was not very professional. We have also not received anything on how to check out. Every other morning we got woken up by the cleaning lady coming into our room while we were sleeping. She was insisting on cleaning the room, even though we were sleeping. We had to contact the owner about it, but it did not change throughout the stay. She was as far from understanding as possible, and did not handle the situation very professionally. The night of our second last day, we could not get in the bed and breakfast, since the key was not working. We called the owner, who had apperently changed the lock while we were gone, and had not told us about it. Every time we came back to the room, it had a very strong smell of a man perfume. It was kind of uncomfortable as we were staying two girls in the room. It got us thinking if somebody had been in the room, while we had been gone. It is also a joke to call this place a “bed and breakfast”, as the “breakfast” is crossaints and a piece of bread in a bag, which you can find in a small drawer. It was also not filled every morning if we ate from it. To sum up - no professionalism, no information.
• Ike (4/5): - Geen ontbijt maar een pakket in een lade op de kamer; geen receptie; dit was niet bekend gemaakt bij reservering
• Justin (2/5): - This was, without a doubt, one of the worst hotel stays I’ve ever had in all my travels throughout Europe. We paid extra for an ocean view room, only to be greeted by scaffolding blocking the entire view — as if staring into a construction site wasn’t bad enough, the constant presence of cranes made it feel more like we were staying at a shipping port than a coastal retreat. If you’re not here for business (and even then, good luck), do yourself a favor and keep going. This place offers nothing in terms of leisure, charm, or relaxation. The beaches are depressing — dirty, industrial, and lifeless. It’s astonishing this is marketed as a coastal destination at all. The “breakfast” was laughable — clearly done as cheaply as possible with zero care for quality or presentation. To make matters worse, the hotel allows pets, which might sound charming in theory, but in reality meant dealing with barking and whining that only made the stay more unbearable. I tried to find at least one redeeming quality, and I couldn’t. Nothing about this place lives up to expectations. No beauty, no peace, no hospitality — just noise, cranes, and disappointment. This hotel is a complete bait-and-switch. Save your time, your money, and your sanity. Go literally anywhere else.
• Arturo (10/5): - Tutto molto positivo. Struttura ben yrnuta
• Jose (4/5): Terrivel - Terrível. Colchão péssimo e lugar em reforma. Não é um hotel. É um apartamento transformado em hotel.
• Jacopo (10/5): - Bello il contesto, curata la stanza, e panorama fuori bello vista mare, e si vede tutta la costa! Peccato per i lavori che stanno effettuando sul caseggiato per cui vista rovinata da impalcature!
• sergio (10/5): - Grazie di tutto e complimenti ad Oscar, gentile e disponibile!
• Natthicha (2/5): - wouldn’t recommend stay here no information we have to call the reception where the hotel is, the view were blocked, have to carried language to the 7 floor because the elevator is too old and didn’t work. For this price yall can find a better place to stay.
• Jonas (8/5): - The host was very quick with a last minute check-in. The accomodations facade was under maintenance at the time of my stay, which did not bother me. One point of criticism is that the refrigerator in the room made quite some noise. Thanks for the stay.
• Daniel (8/5): - P
• Bianca (6/5): - Vreselijk om daar een parkeerplaats te zoeken. En wat een groot nadeel is, is dat alles in de steigers staat, dus als je een raam opendoet er gelijk een bouwvakker naar binnen kan stappen! En je tegenover een bouwplaats zit. Dat stond niet vermeld. En de bedden waren doorgezakt. Ontbijt stelt helemaal niks voor. Eigenaar wel aardig hoor en behulpzaam als je hem appt. Ook een nadeel dat er niemand persoonlijk is. Instructie filmpje is wel duidelijk, dat wel.
• Daniele (10/5): - Camere molto belle, con finiture di alto livello, dotate di ogni confort e silenziose. Piccole pecche la mancanza di tende a giorno, e colazione un pò limitata dalla mancanza di latte o anche solo di panne da miscelare al caffè e dalla sola presenza di prodotti conservati
• Verified traveler (6/5): Posizione strategica - La struttura è pulita e confortevole l' host è gentile e disponibile tuttavia dovrebbero avvisare i clienti che la vista mare se hai scelto quel tipo di camera si vanifica a causa dei ponteggi di ristrutturazione facciata. Inoltre nei servizi EXTRA a pagamento è previsto il rifacimento quotidiano della stampa che altrimenti viene effettuato una volta ogni due giorni. Non mi era mai capitato in tutti gli alberghi in cui sono sceso sia in Italia che all'estero.
• Valerio (8/5): - Molto pulito. Camera molto confortevole.Situato in una zona residenziale senza grossi servizi vicino. Distante quattro fermate di autobus dalla zona più movimentata della città. Relativamente poco abbondanti le forniture di saponi per la doccia.
• Luciano (8/5): Ideal for just sleeping - Nice stay for the price you pay
• Joep (8/5): - Mooie kamer in klassiek huis. Voorzieningen zijn uitstekend. Betaald parkeren op de openbare weg, de schriftelijke informatie sprak over een parkeerkaart (betaald) voor bezoekers die erg handig zou zijn geweest, maar deze werd helaas niet aangeboden.
• Taylor (2/5): - I would never return nor reccommend this property to anyone. There was construction going on in the front of the building from 5am-10am with non stop banging. The construction of the entire building is also built extremely poor where you can hear a pin drop from the room next door to the person below and above you even with 10 ft ceilings. This building is also in a sketchy part of town not near any major transportation or monuments and did not feel safe walking around after dark. I left the property early after not even 24 hrs because I did not feel safe, the construction and all the noises constantly happening, and the bed was rock hard.
• Erol Evrim (10/5): - Giriş çıkış herşeyi ile güzel bir konaklamaydi
• Leonardo (10/5): - A volte per avere ambienti e serviI da 5 stelle non e’ necessario andare in un 4 stelle. Complimenti s bravi davvero!
• Mikala Aoki (10/5): - Staff and reception was lovely and welcoming :) rooms were clean and lovely definitely worth the money!! Thank you Oscar for providing really good hospitality:)
• ELI (8/5): - We where not mentioned on check in that Break fast needs to be ordered a day in advance.
• edoardo (10/5): - B&B essenziale, pulito, stanza comoda e silenziosa. Personale disponibile e attento
• Verified traveler (6/5): - Rooms are a bit too noisy
• Oscar (10/5): - Hoewel het een simpele bed and breakfast is was de kamer in een zeer goede staat. Het ontbijt wat geregeld werd was ook goed gemaakt. De service van de eigenaar was uitstekend vriendelijk en behulpzaam en zeer gastvrij.
• Filippo (10/5): - Struttura ben tenuta, molto accogliente e confortevole. Titolare molto educato e disponibile. Esperienza da ripetere.
• Verified traveler (4/5): - The deluxe room with a view of a building site. This is not a hotel, it’s a few rooms on the 3rd floor of a building, with an elevator that broke down, leaving me to carry bags down 3 flights. The building is filthy, situated on a noisy main road and the sea view are more like a view of the road and a tiny strip of blue. There is possibly one parking space outside the building if you are lucky. The photos of the room are deceiving. Spend your money elsewhere!
• Daniele (10/5): 1 notte di passaggio a Genova - Camera splendida con vista mare e molto pulita. Ottima colazione in camera (consigliata la focaccia). Personale molto cortese. Ci ritornerei
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Es war sehr schön dort. Die Strasse stört dort, und fast keine Parkplätze vor dem Hotel.
• Chia (10/5): - b&b situato in un palazzo signorile al 3 piano, a 15 min a piedi dalla fiera. Personalmente ho sempre raggiunto il centro in taxi (costo circa 13€) ma a piedi disterà una ventina di minuti. Camera ampia in stile barocco con aria condizionata e bagno dotato di tutto compreso set cortesia e ciabattine. Colazione servita in stanza colazione all’interno del b&b sia dolce che salata comunque ricca e abbondante. Personale sempre molto disponibile! Lo consiglio in particolare se ci si reca a Genova per fiere/congressi.
• kelly (8/5): Een oase van rust verscholen in een drukke stad - Bij aankomst troffen we een grijs oud herenhuis aan. Niet wetende welke pracht er aan de andere kant lag. Op de derde verdieping vind je B&B Grifondoro. Mooi afgewerkte en propere kamers in het hart van een drukke stad. De kamers ademen een soort 19de eeuwse grandeur waarin alle moderne voorzieningen aanwezig zijn. Het ontbijt is lekker en correct (hoewel er geen warm eten is). Prijs-kwaliteit zeker de moeite waard. Heel vriendelijk personeel. We waren dan ook heel tevreden van ons verblijf !
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Alles tip-top, volle Empfehlung!
• Chris (8/5): Bella Grifondoro - Excellent quality at a reasonable price. 19th? century sea front apartment building Grifondoro occupies the third floor with six good sized, air conditioned, guest rooms with in-built bathroom. Finished and furnished to a high standard and spotlessly clean. The inclusive continental breakfast is fresh and plentiful. A steady 20 min walk from Brignole station (airport coach shuttle terminus) or a short bus ride (#13). A similar distance to the city centre or port attractions. To the East a five minute stroll to restaurants and promenade area. Recommended.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Bellissima vista mare - Bellisssimo b & b molto accogliente con una vista mare bellissima lo staff molto gentile peccato che siamo stati per pochi giorni ci ritorneró.....lo consiglio!!
• Julien (10/5): Trés bon séjour dans un bel établissement - Très bon séjour dans ce petit établissement, toujours très propre. Un bel accueil de tout les réceptionnistes toujours à notre service. Le quartier est calme et sûre (nous nous sommes garés toute la semaine dans la rue et promenade du chien après 22h sans souci). Proche des commerces de la vieille ville du port antique et de la ballade en bord de mer. Pour le prix je n'ai pas trouvé mieux.
• Verified traveler (10/5): A good place for accomodation - The owner is very nice. The room is clean an luxury. I have a excellent experience there.
• Turan (2/5): DONT DONT AVOID THIS HOTEL (FLAT) - DONT DONT DONT DONT even plan to stay in this hotel (flat) you might not be able stay at all. When we arrived at the hotel there nobody, phone that they have provided was not working at all (nobody was picking it up). 1 hour we have tried to get in touch with somebody and no luck. Therefore please avoid this hotel. Hotels.com should take this hotel (flat) from its inventory because this type of places should not be in such great website. If you call yourself a hotel you should have an emergency contact number for any kind of situations. If you read this review please chose another hotel.
• Joel (8/5): - Trevligt och bra service men tråkig placering
• Robin (10/5): Luxuriöses, kleines Stadthotel - Sehr gutes Hotel mit hervorragendem Personal, das sich viel Zeit für die Gäste nimmt. Wir wurden gleich bei der Ankunft freundlich begrüßt und mit Informationen über die Stadt, Sehenswürdigkeiten und Restaurants ausgestattet. Das Zimmer übertraf unsere Erwartungen. Besonders das Bad, das sehr modern eingerichtet und mit Dusche und Wanne ausgestattet war. Das Frühstück war sehr lecker, aber die Auswahl ist natürlich etwas begrenzt, da es sich wie gesagt um ein kleines Hotel handelt.
• david (10/5): - Far exceeding our expecting, I would rank our stay as outstanding. Exceptionally helpful staff, friendly and welcoming.
