Hotel Chopin

Its closeness to Piazza Principe railway station was the main reason for me to book this hotel. It is located in a traditional building. Reception was helpful and after asking I got a good recommendation for a nearby restaurant with Ligurian food. I was also given a map together with the WiFi password and a code for the hotel entrance - a door next to the one for the reception. My room was on the second floor and it was obviously meant as a single room. It had a view towards the street, but with closed windows it was quiet at night. A/C worked well, when I arrived, but no more at night, when I was cold in my bed with just a thin blanket. There was no spare blanket around. The room had a writing desk and an empty fridge, but no complimentary bottle of water was offered. WiFi worked well. In the bathroom there was liquid soap by the washbasin and for the shower a small bar of soap and sachets with shower gel and shampoo. Breakfast on the ground floor is served as of 07.30. It had a small buffet with juices, fruit yoghurt, butter, jam, processed cheese, boiled eggs and cakes. Missing were fresh fruit. The man in charge asked me, if I wanted extra salami, ham and cheese. Also the coffee was brought by him. TV was switched on with a news channel.

The hotel is great, everything was good, we stay here for 3 night and we will come back for next year. Rooms are clean, location is close to sea and railway station. The people who work there are so nice and helpfull. Thank you for this time. See you next year.

Perfect location just steps from the Plaza Principe train station and a short walk to the port. Nothing fancy. Just the basics: Comfortable bed, warm shower, toilet and a solid breakfast. I would especially recommend for a short stay in Genoa or an overnight stay before your cruise ship leaves.
