Stay away
From the momement we arrived staff behaved oddly. It felt as if they were watching our every move. The only camera inside the building shows who is entering and exiting. On our 3rd night, exiting the door, my brother gets robbed of his IPhone by a street thug. We asked hotel reception to contact police and they refused saying "no police". Had a bad feeling from day one about this place. Stay away, shady people, shady area

Central and in need of refurbishment but ok.
The hotel is central so a big plus, room are ok for the rate even if the rooms are old and worn out. Bed was really uncomfortable but room clean. It was quiet even if it’s located in the center. Service was great :)

Disappointing
Language was a big barrier - no tea or coffee making facilities - the lift was the tiniest ever - staff were unhelpful. I requested support to find a laundromat and nothing was forthcoming. It was difficult to locate but once there was easy to get around- no a/c - not comfortable bed - very small unit

BEWARE
We were extremely disappointed as we were given a twin bedded room instead of the double room which we booked,we complained and we're told that take it or go somewhere else.We were put in a pokey little room it was so small that the tv which was mounted on the wall kept on catching our backs,it was very basic and we cannot understand how this is classed as a 3 STAR,the area we ate our breakfast in was really tatty the chairs were all scratched up the legs and the tiles on the floor all cracked,the photos in the advert are not what you get,there is a dirty old sofa where the reception is and when we got back after our night out the night porter was sleeping on it,just very very basic and just around the corner best Western which is l so a 3 STAR looked so lovely and we'll deserved 3 STARS

Poor hotel;not worth the price
I simply do not understand how this hotel got 3-star rating. I stayed in a 3-star hotel in Genoa before. Hotel Acquairo was so poor that at most it would be 1-star compared with the other hotel. I stayed at 3-star hotels in Turkey and in Turin, compared with those Acquairo would not even deserve 1-star. Rooms very small, had very poor facilities. Very poor sound proofing, toilet ,perhaps not dirty but looked stained because of regular wear and tear. Breakfast was very poor. If this hotel offers you a single room for 30 dollars a night you might consider staying there, I personally would not. The 70 dollars I paid was a total waste of money. The receptionist during day time could speak some English but the one at night did not know a word of English. I would never stay again in this hotel.

Only if desparate.
When I could not find hotel and telephoned, ..the receptionist could not speak English...the hotel is pretty shabby and the rate ( during boat show time ) was very high.The area is one to be careful of at night I feel.

Perfect for a quick trip
Our room for two was small by American standards but perfect for us. The room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast also looked small, but had everything we wanted in amply quantity. We arrived after 10:30pm. We had to ring the bell and were buzzed in immediately. Reception is up a flight of stairs. The room was warm when we arrived, but cooled quickly when we turned on the AC. The side street where the hotel is located is so narrow our cab wouldn't take us to the door - but close enough. We walked to the Aquarium in the morning - it was very close. We would stay here again.

Hotel Acquqrio - grotty appearance
Having booked and paid I then visited the premises which were so grotty I forfeited the booking and took a room elsewhere. The corridor was filthy, the room was tiny, The view was a blank wall and the bathroom was miniscule.

Not fancy, but all the Basics
This is a handy bargain place in the middle of old Genoa. Not fancy, minimum comfort, a few stairs as well. The clerks also have minimum English and willingness to help. They will, but some more than others. Not far to the Palazzo, Farrari Fountain, and Acquarium either. Good budget hotel in a busy old city.
