Hotel berhampiran Abaco D＇Arte, Nervi

Thank you for a truly memorable stay recently at the brilliant Meliá Genova Hotel. We were absolutely spoiled by all the fantastic staff and the highest standard of service. All the facilities were first class and we cannot thank the brilliant staff enough for all their care, thoughtfulness and total professionalism throughout our visit. We were extremely sad to leave such a wonderful and superbly managed hotel. Terry and Maggie Davies UK

Ottimo 4 stelle ubicato nel porto antico a due passi dal centro storico di fronte all'acquario. Ho prenotato una camera con balcone e vista sul porto e sono rimasto molto soddisfatto sia per la pulizia che per l' ampio spazio a disposizione, compreso nella camera 4 capsule di caffè Lavazza con relativa macchina , una bottiglia d'acqua da 1/2 litro oltre ai vari infusi da usare con il bollitore. Personale molto gentile e disponibile, la sala da pranzo arredata molto bene in stile nave con cime e inserti di vele ma non invadenti. Colazione a buffet con ampia scelta e ottimi ingredienti, cappuccino o caffè fatti al momento e serviti al tavolo. Anche se per una notte è un esperienza da ripetere

This hostel is understaffed, so don't expect much in terms of service. Facilities are decent and they have theme nights which is fun. The private room with attached bathroom that we chose was HUGE and could probably accomodate another 4 people easily.

Although this being an airport hotel, it was surprisingly well appointed. They even had a sauna. The rooms were small, but incredibly well laid-out, comfortable, and efficient. The staff couldn't have been more accommodating to our needs as well. I will be back in Genoa again, and will definitely be staying here next time! Thank you !

We chose this hotel based on the central location and cost (we used our credit card points). I was worried after reading some of the negative reviews, however, the hotel ended up being perfect for our stay in SML. At the same time, I do understand the reviews from people who did not like their rooms. I'll try to explain below. Location/building: - The hotel is located on the same street as the train station, just a 10 min walk down the road. Very easy to access with rolling bags and we didn't need a taxi. - It's not located on the water nor does it have any majestic views of anything. Consider it a ”city center” hotel, in a small, quaint, beautiful Italian town. - From the main street (Via Roma), you walk through a huge patio into the main building that has the lobby, restaurant and some rooms. - Our room was located in a 2nd, separate building which you access from a side street. It is behind the main building, further away from Via Roma. This building has the spa and pool, but I believe shares upper floors with a residential building. From the ”street” level, we entered a small lobby, and went down 1 floor to our room on the ”basement” level. - Our room had a terrace that looked ”up” at the street level/patio of the building. No view to speak of but some natural light. - Location: We walked everywhere and skipped the 30 EUR breakfast each morning which allowed us to try different cafes and bakeries that are located a VERY short distance away including Pinamonti Focacceria, Panificio Dama, Pasticceria Pestarino, Caffé del Borgo, and Caravaggio Café. We spent most of our time exploring and really only used our room to shower/sleep. We took the train to Cinque Terre one day and accessing the train was so easy. We walked 1 hr to Portofino on a beautiful day and then took the public bus back - very easy and cheap! The walk going over is mainly along the side of the road, beach and includes a path up into the hills - lots of beauty! - Room: The room was pretty large, modern and clean. Everything worked as expected and the bathroom was actually wonderful. Our terrace had no view, but we weren't expecting one. They have a motorized shutter that you can close which created complete darkness at night - it was fantastic! We were in a basement room, but at the end of the day it didn't matter. We had no noise issues. - Service: The employees were wonderful and helpful. Couldn't have been better!

Only four or five minutes walk from the railway station with wheeled baggage and very easy to find, it is also only a couple of minutes from the beach area as well as numerous restaurants and bars, as well as the tourist ferry to Portofino and Santa Mergherita Ligure. The only downside at time of writing with regards location is the construction work going on right outside the hotel, however it didn't really cause much of an issue with regards noise or dust. Check-in and out were quick and easy and done with a smile. The double room we had was a fair size with a fridge, shower in a bathtub, comfortable bed and pillows, good wifi, a safety-deposit box and air-conditioning. Plenty of space. But no kettle with instant coffee/tea like most 4 start hotels I have been in when in Italy. Breakfast is strange. Advertised from 07:00 to 10:00. If you arrive at 07:00 there is cereal, yoghurt, fresh fruit, croissants, pastries as well as two types of cold meat and cheese as well as bread and hard boiled eggs. But sitting on the counter is a big metal food retainer of the sort used to keep scrambled eggs, bacon/sausages normally......but nothing in it except hot water and a spoon in front of it. I asked and was told that they don't fill it until 08:00. Don't know what with but presumably bacon, sausages, scrambled egg or similar. So if o go for breakfast at 07:00 to 08:00 you won't get any of that, only if you from 08:00 onwards. I felt like returning for a second breakfast at 08:00 !! Rather strange way of ding things, advertising breakfast at 07:00 but the full breakfast buffet is not actually available until 08:00. And that is my only gripe. Otherwise, a decent hotel although by no means cheap and yet not luxurious.

Great views, lovely pool. Lovely cocktails, however a little pricey. Lunch could be improved. Lots of flies at the pool. Room is quite small but has everything you need.
