Convenient hotel, clean and comfortable
Very convenient hotel, close to Genoa and various beaches. Great position for dining and has private parking. The hotel is in an amazing building but the rooms need renovation, bathrooms are especially outdated. The staff is friendly and helpful and breakfast is a nice plus with fresh pastries and focaccia! Second time stay, I’ll probably come back again.

The size of the room was great, and it was very comfortable! Also, we loved the view from our room, of the water, as well as the convenience of the beach! Also, the hotel breakfast was great! We definitely plan to come back to this hotel! Further, the restaurant right outside of the hotel served great food, had reasonable prices, and was very convenient for us!

Lacking in warmth!
Easy enough to find but on a very noisy, busy road. Clean but basic room & bathroom but somewhat dated. Restaurant was fine with dinner served on the terrace but as mentioned it was noisy. Breakfast was very good. My half Italian wife took exception to being identified as 'foreigners' by staff not aware she could speak Italian.

Historical hotel, very pleasant stay
Staff was amazing, I booked a family bedroom wanting two bedrooms and the once I got was just one large one with 3 beds, but they accommodated the change and moved us to a two bedrooms one as soon as available. The hotel is an historically building partially renovated, I loved the setting but some bits would do with a bit more renovation, especially the bathroom. It’s on the main road which is very busy and noisy but all bedrooms have air-con so it’s fine once the window is closed. Overall very pleasant stay and the adjacent restaurant is fab!

Overnight stop
The hotel looks pretty dated from the outside and in and could use some modernisation. Service was good, staff were friendly and helpful. Room was clean but dated, the hotel is fitted with thick glazing to the front as the noise from the traffic can be overwhelming. There is air conditioning in the room. Breakfast was nice and parking is good as its to the rear of the hotel. Its secured.

Mediteranee Pegli Italy
We booked a weeks break not knowing what to expect but were immediately made to feel welcome by the friendly happy reception staff in the air conditioned lobby this friendly happy attitude of all hotel staff continued throughout our stay the hotel is dated but in a grand way and is spotlessly clean otherwise large rooms all air conditioned with a great view of the sea front from ours 119 maids work hard to maintain cleanliness in all areas breakfast was a good choice of various cold meats cheeses cakes croissants breads cereals yogurt jams and more to suit all tastes with staff serving coffee or tea directly to your table very relaxing and very nice either inside or outside alfresco the hotel is situated opposite the sea shore with a choice of private pool/ beach (cost to use) or public beach area both very nice we used both during our stay also many bars and restaurants just outside hotel we also walked the old roman road to Sestri and enjoyed the shops and cafes in Sestri pedestrian mallla cafeteria is recommended very nice and just hop on the no 1 bus back to the hotel for 1.50 Euro you can also use this bus to go into Genoa or up the coast to Voltri both well worth a visit as is pau Genoa some areas rough so be carefull were you wander Pegli is not like this nice place friendly people everywhere we really enjoyed our stay and will be going back again loved it

Dont be fooled by the pictures on Hotels.com
This is a crumbling grand dame of a property that a family is trying to keep running and having to try every trick to do so. I empathise with their challenge but I do not want to be part of it. Extra charges for beds that I had already stipulated in my booking. Filthy shower enclosure. Stark, prison cell like rooms. The opening picture of a pool on Hotels.com is one 200 metres away that you have to pay to use. Free Parking is very useful. The breakfast is in line if not slightly better than Italian expectations. The train noise is significant.

FAKE ADVERTISING OF BEACH AND POOL
The hotel advertised a pool, a private beach, chairs and umbrellas. When we arrived they informed us that all of those amenities belong to the hotel nearby! And we could go there and pay extra to rent the beach chairs. Outright lying about their hotel!

A room with a magnificent view
A wonderful hotel across the Mediterranean Sea beach! If you get one of the many the rooms with the view to the sea, you have one of the most beautiful paintings in front of your eyes! Great service, attentif, pleasant lobby, nice room, not the most modern but comfortable and spacious.

Classic hotel that needs some TLC
Hotel Mediterranée is an old classic hotel, that is in desperate need for some tender loving care. The hotel stands facing the sea, just like the name promises, and the view from our room was just glorious. The hotel has, however, seen its best days, and really needs a renovation to restore its former glory. We have, for example, never before stayed in a room where the wooden floor creaks so loudly that you cannot hear what the other person is saying in the room if either of you move around at the same time. It was a physical pleasure to sit down on the bed, or step out in the corridor because the loud creaking sound would at least stop then. The beds were comfortable, the bathroom fine (but we did not get a bath tub in the room like the website had promised we would), it was instead a shower with a broken door mechanism (I had to lift out the doors, and re-attach them so that they would glide normally. Breakfast was good, a pot of freshly made Americano was brought to our table, and the buffet had a good selection of sweet products, not so much savoury. For anybody looking for a restaurant nearby, the local Trattoria Da Franco just some blocks away is a true highlight! Fresh seafood, and delicious pasta! A final bonus was the free parking on the back yard, great with a fenced parking area where to leave the car safely overnight.

Great hotel for its location, limited facilities, the restaurant was very dated and the staff looked like they were not meant to be there. Great rooms although dated definitely needs a revamp but cannot fault what you get for the price

Good for getting into Genoa and airport
Definitely could do with a revamp and very dated but it was fine for one night before we flew from Genoa airport. Easy bus route into the center of Genoa (number 1 bus €1.50 each way). Pleasant and helpful staff. Hotel room very dated, and although double glazed there was a lot of road noise until very late at night as it is on the a10 route into Genoa and airport. We had a sea view which was nice but we didn’t explore the local area so can’t comment. Hotel has free secure parking.

Still grand, although they've dropped the "Grand"
The staff are excellent at providing a service befitting the former grandeur of the hotel. It has been refurbished in a way which has given it a more modern look, which is a shame.

Close to beach, great breakfast.
Could do with some upgrading but was great for a large family to visit. Good breakfast Beach across the road and bus into Genoa also across the road. Air con was excellent and a fridge in room to store your drinks. A kettle and some cups would have been useful. Clean and comfortable beds, loads of towels Would stay there again
