“Hotel Helvetia sits in a prime spot for exploring Genoa's cultural heart, a short walk from the Aquarium and Old Port. I think the motorbike parking is a real advantage, given the area. While some maintenance seems due, the location and historical charm make it a reasonable choice for those focused on seeing the city.”
