Guest Review: We adored the Hotel Bristol, so charming and characterful, and Matteo and all the staff made us feel immediately at home, welcoming us after a long road trip from London. We had perfect suggestions from him which opened the city to us in an invaluable way and we even managed to find a skateboard for my son’s birthday thanks to his brilliant knowledge of Genova. Being artists my husband and I found the Art Nouveau staircase marvellous (no wonder Hitchcock was inspired) and the view from our room over the rooftops of Genova was glorious. We were steps away from all the main sights and the hospitality we experienced was the kind one always hopes to find but is a rare gem these days. The breakfast team even found a Teddy for my son’s birthday which made him so happy. Grand elegant hotels with such a warm fun atmosphere are a treat to come across and we loved the fact that this one has retained its character. Genova was a true delight and a highlight of our trip to the Italian riviera.
