Dear Jennifer,Thank you very much for your review.We are sorry to see that you found your room a bit too warm, unfortunately the AC can only be switched depending on the instructions we received from the town hall. Basically, during winter we can only have warm air and in summer cold air. We can always open the windows in the room upon request.We do hope that you will be choosing Starhotels President for your next visit in Genova.Warm Regards
Dear Marc,First of all thank you to write evaluation about Starhotels President and for dedicating your personal time.We understand and we regret that your experience during your stay in our hotel was unpleasant.I can assure that your comments will be taken in right considerations; all steps to avoid such type of inconvenient have been taken.We would like express you our apologies for inconveniences caused We hope to have the possibility to welcome you back in our hotel.
The bedroom was super heated, 27C at night in spite of the heating having been turned off. The staff offered to open the window (special key needed) but the noise from the traffic and the constant ambulances was deafening. The safe didn’t work and a member of staff had to repair it. They didn’t tell us that the biscuits left in the room weren’t complimentary and I have been left with unexplained pending charges on my credit card totalling far more than what Expedia quoted, even allowed for additional charges. Breakfast also poor with very salty food. Altogether an unpleasant experience which I will not repeat.

Hotel in good location, great access but this is retro hotel - nothing works in the room, old furniture, not invested for at least 3 decades, bathtubs yellow from age, old carpets and smell of old clothes- for this price look for something else

Our second stay over the Christmas holidays. Conveniently placed near the old city and only a short walk from the main train station.
Only inconvenience, the air conditioning is not turned on during the winter and the rooms get quite warm, 24/25 celsius.

The hotel is So nice, the staff were really helpful and professional. They couldn’t help us enough. The area is pretty bad, but that’s mainly because there’s a park right across the street that’s full of homeless people, and a lot of drug addicts. Not the hotels fault. Also it’s surrounded by very busy roads. Still, we extended our stay and would happily stay here again

This hotel was amazing and made our stay in Genoa very welcoming. The hotel was super clean, beautiful and the room had a beautiful view of the city. The staff were very welcoming at both the check in desk and bar, and housekeeping was very friendly and efficient. The area was very convenient to access tourist attractions and was very walkable to major areas. It was easy to get a taxi too. We would definitely stay here again upon our return to Genoa.

This is a great hotel. Nice and helpful staff. Clean, modern, air conditioned and quiet rooms. It is conveniently located near one of the train stations. However, there aren’t that many restaurants to choose from in the direct vicinity of the Hotel. The hotel restaurant however is very good. As of this writing (beginning of July 2023) the metro is under construction. This was a bummer for me as I was planning to use it. I ended up taking taxis instead.

At first the VIP room upgrade was not given. I decided to enquire as I didn't feel the room was up to standard. The reception said it was at the hotel discretion but reluctantly found me a better room. The deluxe room was lovely - so very pleased I asked. As I didn't have a vehicle I didn't need the parking voucher - i think this should have been changed to a breakfast, mini bar or bar voucher.

Dear Peta,Thank you very much for your review. Unfortunately the hotel doesn't have the VIP status from expedia so we do not have the perks as per your program and this depends on the hotel availability. We are not able to convert the parking into breakfast or minibar voucher. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us and we hope to see you back soon.Best Regards

A good hotel and across the road from Brignole station. The carpet in our room was worn and stained. The room had good blackout curtains and no noise heard from road traffic. Courteous staff. A happy stay at the hotel.

Very slow in reception and very surly when dealing with anything other than trying to get you to pay for an upgrade and then still try to charge for the “free drinks”.
Beds are good and location but will try another hotel next time

Very comfortable stay, clean and good service. The bed is nice and big and the sheets and showers are very nice. The hotel is a little bit old and outdated and could use a refresh. There is a lack of plugs in the room also. Overall however a good stay.
