Hotel Palazzo Grillo

Palazzo Grillo is a very old building transformed into a great modern hotel yet retaining many of its classic features. The hotel is in an historic piazza which adds to its appeal. Before we went the hotel was very helpful in suggesting things to do and in recommending restaurants all of which were spot on. Check in was easy and friendly. We had a Deluxe Double room with a view over the piazza. It was a really good room with everything we needed. As there is no traffic in this part of the city the room was very quiet. The hotel is well positioned so that most of what you will want to see is within walking distance. All the restaurants we went to were less than a five minute walk from the hotel. Breakfast is in a bright room on the fifth floor and has a small terrace. The service and products at breakfast were excellent. Everyone working in the hotel was very friendly and greeted you when coming and going from the hotel. There was a nice atmosphere. On the second floor there is a beautiful room where you can relax, read a book or just have a coffee. I would certainly recommend this hotel for anyone travelling to Genoa.

Perfect little hotel for families--they have dropped a very minimal, modern hotel into a beautiful old palazzo with crumbling frescoes and grand staircases, but a glassed-in living room with great furnishings, and beautiful modern amenities. The hotel has very spacious rooms, modern bathrooms, and excellent location. The price was very low given that it was a suite that included space for me and my three teenaged children to sleep, with a loft-style bedroom. We had a car, and the hotel's parking is off-site, but the hotel is easy to find and only a short walk. We had great food in Genoa--the hotel's recommendations were excellent. We enjoyed wandering the streets, and happened to be there on a Sunday when things are less crowded, but many of the sites are still open (most shopping isn't open on Sunday in Genoa, so be advised). We found it so relaxing. The staff are really helpful and friendly.

I really enjoyed my two night stay at the Palazzo Grillo. The location was very central in Genoa, the building was absolutely stunning from an architectural point of view (I imagine it was a listed historical building). Rooms were very clean, temperature was good, the mini bar was well stocked and there was also a kettle, tea and coffee available. The bed was very comfortable and spacious with lots of pillows. Shower/bathroom were very spacious. I also enjoyed a delicious breakfast in the morning, they had a great selection of continental breakfast as well as sweets/pastries. After checking out we were allowed to leave our baggage in the storage room for a few more hours free of charge which was very handy. Staff was very polite and spoke really good English. Would highly recommend and if I visit Genoa again I will definitely be staying here again!

The hotel was lovely, a fresh respite in a crowded, difficult to navigate old city. The front desk folks were so helpful and kind. Breakfast was complete and yummy. The room was a bit Spartan but the general cleanliness and order of the entire hotel more than made up. Being IN an historic home was a treat!!! I heartily recommend Palazzo Grillo. P.S. don’t miss going inside the church just outside the hotel’s front door. Amazing!! Breast taking!!

This is a beautiful palazzo in the very heart of the city. Furthermore it has been decorated with a very tasteful modern touch. It’s gorgeous! Unfortunately the management does not live up to the expectations (neither to a 4 star status) and is more suitable for a Ryanair experience. No staff to take your luggage, they’ll charge you for water, they’ll just cover for a fraction of the parking, not all, no shuttle to the hotel after 3.30 pm and you’ll see a similar breakfast at the Premiere Inn. So it all feels like they really dont care and dont understand their clientele. Which is even more silly when you have such an amazing palazzo… Change the management and this could be stellar

Overall we enjoyed the stay in the hotel, well designed, good matress checkin and out took just a couple of minutes. We were on the 4th floor, breakfast is on the fifth floor and makes you wake up. There is no remote for the ac and no moscito protection. We also booked a late checkout, but the cleaning lady entered the room before we left the room and took the bed sheets off, although our stuff was inside. Next to it, the door was open, but the cleaning lady was in the room next to it. Still not acceptable. Information on the location, very central, everything is walkable from there. But: drug dealers at night are placed 100 meters from the hotel, red light district is 3 minutes walking distance.

10/10. Professional, attentive staff. Well-designed, modern, clean, spacious and comfortable rooms. The library room is an absolute gem. Beautiful terrace on the roof. Would stay again.
