06/10/2025: Comment on our stay at the Grand Hotel Savoia in Genoa.
We spent two very pleasant nights at the Grand Hotel Savoia in Genoa, a splendid establishment where we fully appreciated the comfort of the premises, the quality of the services, and the varied and generous breakfast. The welcome and attentiveness of the staff deserve to be highlighted.
We also took advantage of the proximity of the hotel's two restaurants, Tralalêro and Salgari, where we dined back-to-back. Unfortunately, our culinary experiences at both establishments did not live up to the hotel's standards.
At Tralalêro, all dishes were served on cold plates, which detracted from the enjoyment of the dishes. Furthermore, a dish of bacalao, clearly too cold, seemed fresh from the refrigerator and had to be returned to the kitchen. At Salgari, the situation was similar: cold plates and an interminable wait for six seafood risottos, which were ultimately served barely warm, even though there were only a dozen guests in the room. To our surprise, the risotto was an unappealing turquoise blue, garnished with a few mussels and topped with a shrimp covered in sun-dried tomato skin.
We would like to point out that these comments are made in a constructive spirit. It would be helpful to inform the kitchen teams at these two restaurants that guests are provided with a warming tray at breakfast, proof that it is entirely possible to serve food at a suitable temperature in this high-end establishment.
Aside from these culinary disappointments, our stay at the Grand Hotel Savoia will remain a very pleasant memory, and we hope that these observations will help further improve the quality of the guest experience.
05/10/2025: Very easy to access by car. Valet parking for €28. Barely more expensive than a local parking lot. And you can leave your car keys there with complete confidence.
Very well-located hotel. For three days we explored the city on foot.
Only praise for everything. The welcome, the kindness of the staff, the comfort of the room.
I highly recommend it.
