We loved the Palazzo Grillo. Yes, it is a registered UNESCO World Heritage site and a wonderfully restored hotel that seamlessly blends a palazzo built in 1545 with 21st-century conveniences. A superb breakfast on the top floor, a beautiful relaxation library on the second floor, and nicely placed in the old quarter of Genova, at the Piazza delle Vigne. Palazzo Grillo is located in the pedestrian zone of the town center, making access by car impossible. We enjoy walking, so the 5-minute walk with our luggage from the closest parking garage (Marina Porto Antico) to the town center was no problem. Be sure to follow the directions from the hotel. Certain taxis can take you close to the hotel, resulting in a shorter walk. The labyrinth of alleys in the old part of town is worth your trip--a cultural wonder. Expect excellent service from the staff.

Beautifully restored palazzo in the center of old town. From the lobby to the room to the other common areas, the feel, decor and design was stunning. Service was generally excellent as well. Great location from which to explore all the Old Town sites and get lost in the maze of alleys. Gran Ristoro, a phenomenal, tiny sandwich shop is a three-minute walk away and a must visit for foodies. There isn’t any parking in the Old Town, but there is convenient self-parking a few minutes walk away at the port. We would definitely choose Palazzo Grillo again if we return to Genoa.

We have booked the standard room but uplon arrival we realized that it was very basic on a level that needs more love to make it welcoming. We paid an additional 50 euros directly to the hotel for an upgrade for the Junior room which was nice. The breakfast is good and includes a wide selection of products.

Historic building brought to into the modern era in a tasteful and sympathetic way. The addition of a small bar within the hotel (perhaps added to the roof terrace) would add value to guests not wanting to venture far on an evening following a day of exploring.

Amazing property, fabulous location

Amazing property, fabulous location, excellent staff. Sadly, my (single) room was not much bigger and lighter than a broom closet. The biggest problem was the lack of any working desk and no electric outlet near the bed. However, i can imagine that if I was visiting for holidays, this wouldn’t be so much of an issue.
