Bottom Line

Hotel Continental is located right by the Old Port and harbor in historic Genoa. While it has been renovated, it maintains a classic style. Nearby are the Aquarium of Genoa, Genoa's Congress Center, and Albertis Castle. The narrow streets are also filled with restaurants and stores. Simple rooms have large flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, and small bathrooms; all have views of the city. Trattoria Tralelero serves traditional Genoese meals in a beautiful setting. For additional amenities -- such as a fitness center and spa -- guests can pay for access to the facilities at the adjacent Grand Hotel Savoia.

Oyster Hotel Review

Hotel Continental

Scene

A historic hotel that’s retained its classic style

Guests enter the beautiful historic building and immediately walk into a large lobby with a grand feel. Original window bays and antique stucco are nice features that have been maintained. The walls are marble, the front desk is a deep wood, and there are elegant seating areas. A grand staircase leads to the hotel’s other floors (as does an old-fashioned exposed elevator). The Winter Garden Sitting Room leads to a beautiful terrace overlooking the city.

Location

Opposite the Genoa Principe Train Station, near the Old Port

The hotel is conveniently located not far from the historic center of Genoa where the beautiful Old Port and ancient harbor is located. It is right by the famed Aquarium of Genoa, the largest in Europe. Palazzo Ducale, Genoa’s Congress Center, and Albertis Castle are also nearby. The Piazza Principe Train Station is a short walk from the hotel, easily connecting guests with Genoa via public transportation. There are lots of narrow streets filled with restaurants, bars, and shops.

Features

Amenities include a restaurant and access to an adjacent hotel (for a fee)

Trattoria Tralalero is a traditional Genoese trattoria featuring local cuisine. Red-checkered tablecloths line the tables and the walls are painted a rust color. Most noticeable is a fabric canopy lining the ceiling that resembles the sails on a boat. Due to a deal the owner has with the Grand Hotel Savoia, guests benefit from a few of the other hotel’s facilities (for a fee). This includes a fitness center, spa, meetings rooms, and the Salgari Restaurant. Unique views of the historic center of Genoa can be seen from this hotel's terrace.
