Guest Reviews

Additionally, the surrounding neighborhood is filled with amenities, including markets, restaurants and a supermarket open 24/7, ensuring that all guest needs are met.

Whether you seek relaxation by the water or easy access to urban attractions, Hotel La Capannina's excellent and convenient location makes it a standout choice for visitors to Genoa.
Breakfast
However, numerous guests feel that the breakfast leaves much to be desired. Descriptions such as “limited,” “minimal,” and “monotonous” are frequently mentioned, emphasizing a lack of variety and a preference for pre-packaged products over fresh items. Critics also note the absence of fresh fruits, vegetables and other wholesome options like yogurt and cheese. Additionally, some reviews mention issues with the breakfast room ambience, pointing out that it can be cold and somewhat uninviting.
While the breakfast at Hotel La Capannina is adequate for some, who find it satisfactory or decent, several guests suggest that it could benefit from significant improvements in both quality and variety to match the overall standard of the hotel.
Rooms
However, the hotel’s rooms are universally noted to be outdated with many fixtures and decor dating back several decades, some even as far as the 70s or earlier. The need for renovation is a recurring theme with comments highlighting old furniture, minimal bathroom facilities and sometimes broken or non-functional equipment like bathroom doors and heaters.
Cleanliness appears inconsistent; while some rooms are reported to be very clean and well-maintained, others suffer from poor upkeep, dusty furniture and lacking daily cleaning routines. Bathrooms, in particular, receive a fair share of criticism for being small, dilapidated and occasionally dirty.
Despite these issues, the rooms are generally considered suitable for travelers who prioritize location and basic comfort over luxurious accommodations. Despite their aged appearance, many guests have found the rooms to be a satisfactory base for exploring Genoa, provided their expectations align with the hotel's rustic charm and need for updates.
Beds
However, not all feedback is positive. Some guests encountered less-than-ideal bed situations. A few mentioned that the beds were uncomfortable, citing issues such as broken beds, lofty pillows and a lack of renovation. Additionally, logistical inconveniences like limited space between beds and insufficient electrical outlets near the beds were also noted.
Despite these drawbacks, the predominant sentiment leans towards the beds at Hotel La Capannina being a comfortable aspect of the stay, making it likely that most guests will have a restful night’s sleep.
Cleanliness
However, this is juxtaposed with several criticisms. Some guests found issues like dusty surfaces, dirty bathrooms and poorly maintained shower curtains. Complaints of moldy grout and unclean bathtubs were not uncommon. A few visitors noted that the rooms did not correspond to the photos, hinting at potential overpromising in marketing materials. Certain areas, such as carpets and floors, were pointed out as needing more attention and some reviewers mentioned specific areas of cleanliness that were lacking, such as shelves above bathroom sinks.
Additionally, a recurring theme in the negative reviews is that the property overall seems to have aged with rooms in need of renovation and updated furnishings. The mention of housekeeping staff also performing breakfast service might suggest understaffing issues, potentially impacting the thoroughness of cleaning routines.
In summary, while Hotel La Capannina maintains a generally clean environment, there are notable exceptions that point to areas needing improvement. Future guests might do well to manage their expectations, particularly if they are highly sensitive to cleanliness details.

Wi-Fi
Parking
Many guests appreciated the convenience of having parking facilities on site, including a protected underground garage and a courtyard. Despite the variety of options, some have found the parking spaces to be small and challenging to maneuver, particularly the indoor and underground parking. Access to these can be narrow and difficult and usage can be restricted after certain hours, such as 10 PM or 11:30 PM.
While some have managed to find free parking without much hassle, others resorted to street parking which can be uncertain. The fact that parking arrangements sometimes require a phone call or advance notice was noted, adding a layer of complexity.
Overall, while Hotel La Capannina does provide a range of parking options including free and reserved spaces, the limited availability and narrow access are recurring themes. Ensuring a parking spot may require some planning ahead and flexibility.
