Hotel Aquila & Reale - Genoa, Italy     

My husband and I stayed at this hotel last month for 2 nights. It is very convenient (across the street from the train station) and pleasant. The room was very large, especially by European standards, and had nice, heavy furniture and a comfortable bed. One odd thing was it had hardwood floors, which looked great, but it was very noisy walking across the room. The only other problem was that it was quite noisy late at night due to the nightclub on a street in back of the hotel. We managed to mainly sleep through it but light sleepers should be sure to ask if they can have a quiet room. The hotel serves a continental breakfast in the morning, which was included in the room rate. I found the staff to be friendly and helpful. It is not a luxury hotel, and does not bill itself as such, but it is a very nice, moderately priced hotel.
