Great location. Very friendly helpful owner.
8.0 / 10.0
The family who runs Albergo Genio is kind and warm, and we really enjoyed our stay. The location of this little family run hotel is amazing. We had 3 rooms for our family of 6. one was with a balcony facing the square and harbor, with a wonderful view. Another was a large specious room facing the back, but comfortable. The last was a very small tiny room with two single beds, a small window facing the ally. It was right beside our larger room so worked fine for a group stay.
It’s a nice little simple hotel
One room was quite small and basic. But it worked for us as it was just an additional room out of 3 in total

there was no breakfast - the location if OK but too many stairs
the lies the owner told us which caused our car to be impounded and the physical aggression we were submitted to by his father and himself which caused us a lot of emotional distress and financial loss.

The view from the room and terrace and the location was great . You need to be able bodied as there are many steps but the view makes them worthwhile 😊

+Location
Located in the main square of Porto Venere far enough from the crowd of the marina
+Parking
There is 4 parking space, 5 minutes walk from the hotel, available for an extra fee (10€ a day)
The Hotel is old and not looked after, I knew what expect booking a 2 star accommodation but unfortunately my review is influenced by my own experience.
I booked a room with sea view that has been given to someone else so they gave me another room with no view at all, claimed by the owner that was a booking.com fault that mistakenly have overbooked the sea view rooms without enough availability.
On top of this, the description clearly state check-in from 2:00pm but once arrived they told me to come back at 3:00 because room wasn't ready, I went there at 3.30 and room was still not ready
-No shower gel provided
-Late check-in
-Furniture and hair dryer very old
-some electric plug faulty not working
-Toilet seat was coming off
-overall cleaning not sufficient
-Shower cabin was too small
-No fridge

Welcoming and helpful host. Budget friendly, yet in the centre of town. View from widow was amazing. Be prepared for steps, but well worth it.
Top cover of the bed needed to be washed.

Good value, simple accommodation operated by a welcoming family team. A prime location over multiple levels, offering great views of the market square and the harbour. Everything that Porto Venere offers is literally right on the doorstep and the manager makes a great Negroni.
As with any central location, there's a level of general street noise coming from restaurants and tourists, along with early morning rubbish and street vacuum-cleaner trucks that keep the town pristine over the summer season. Pack light as there are quite a few stairs and no lift.

Very beautiful room in a castle overlooking Portovenere harbour. The room itself was basic, clean and comfortable but it's the charm of climbing up through narrow alleyways with spectacular views along the way to the room, superb! A previous review said the owners were cute but that is an understatement, they are truly adorable!!
Many, many steps to the room! We had a very heavy case and it was a good workout getting there.

Very beautiful hotel with lots of steps set into the hill. Didn't have a sea view but that meant it was quieter at night and we still had a great view of Portovenere, so don't worry if there are no rooms with sea view available. The room had AC which was a very welcome surprise! The room was a good size, all things you might need (little lamps for reading, storage, small desk). The bathroom is small but good and clean, the towels were changed over night (although for the environment it would be good to only change towels that are on the floor). Wonderful, very central location. Little focaccia shop/bakery right outside to grab some breakfast.
There was a wall mounted hair dryer in the bathroom but it seemed to be broken. Shower cubicle was very small. Would be good to provide WiFi Password in the rooms.

Nothing
Old room with very old bathroom with bad smell
When you arrive: the owner looks at you like you bother him: you are not welcome at all in this hotel whoever you are!
When you pay for the local tax, it is only in cash. If you ask for a receipt: they do not understand English anymore but they directly put the money in their pocket!

INQUALIFICABILI : L'albergo comunica che l'orario per il check in è entro le 23.00. Prenotato e pagato con arrivo entro le 22.00 con accettazione da parte dell'hotel. Arrivati ci comunicano telefonicamente che tutte le camere sono occupate e di arrangiarci. Sembrerebbe che abbiano venduto la nostra camera a qualcun altro prima dell'orario stabilito per il nostro arrivo.

Niente di niente
Tengo a precisare che sono stato TRUFFATO in quanto ho prenotato una stanza matrimoniale di 20 mq con terrazza vista mare e mi è stata data una topaia di 7 mq circa con due letti separati da 50 cm di spazio e una finestra con vista muro del palazzo antistante. Il proprietario non è stato in alcun modo accomodante e mi ha liquidato dicendomi di lamentarmi con booking perché lui non c'entrava niente. Ho scelto di andarmene senza alloggiare in quel tugurio spacciato per stanza credendo in un rimborso totale che purtroppo mi è stato negato in quanto il proprietario ha fatto opposizione. Mi riservo di DENUNCIARE il fatto alla Guardia di Finanza nei prossimi giorni.

就在城內中心處,距離碼頭很近,搭乘前往五漁村的船很方便、住宿居高臨下,景色非常優美
床太軟沒有支撐、要有心理準備需提行李爬上一些樓梯,但民宿主人幫了大忙

Pobyt w tym hotelu był absolutnie magiczny! Już od pierwszych chwil zachwyciła nas serdeczność gospodarza – niezwykle sympatyczny, otwarty i pomocny człowiek, który sprawił, że poczuliśmy się jak w domu. Sam hotel to prawdziwa perełka – wiekowy, klimatyczny budynek z duszą, położony w samym sercu miasta, z zapierającym dech w piersiach widokiem na stare miasto i morze.
W hotelu znajduje się kilka uroczych tarasów pełnych kwiatów – idealne miejsce na poranną kawę czy wieczorny kieliszek lokalnego wina, które zresztą serwowane jest w hotelowym barze w bardzo przystępnych cenach. Obsługa przesympatyczna, uśmiechnięta i bardzo pomocna.
Wszystko lśni czystością, a panująca tam rodzinna atmosfera sprawia, że nie chce się wyjeżdżać. Samo miasteczko również urzeka – pełne uroku, historii i pięknych widoków. To miejsce, do którego zdecydowanie chce się wracać. Gorąco polecam każdemu, kto szuka autentycznego, niezapomnianego pobytu!

Camera vecchia, per quel che offre è sovrapprezzato ma è un problema comune nella costa ligure.
