Hotel Genesio is lovely. We stayed there for two weeks. The staff is wonderful and very helpful. Warm and friendly atmoshpere recommends this small albergo.

I stayed at the Hotel Genesio for three nights in early December, and I am so grateful for their accommodations. I ended up in the Hotel by chance. My Italy travel plans changed, and at the last minute I needed to find a very inexpensive lodging. I reserved a room at the Hotel Genesio through an agent at the Florence... more

Simone was such a wonderful help,... more

The rooms were clean and fresh towels daily. The hosts Simone & Leonardo were just delightful and more than helpful. Simone's knowledge of the city and all of its amazing... more

Bed has squeeky sound even with small move. Bathroom has strong smell of bleach. Breakfast was ok. One of the hosts was nice to show us the map and... more

Stayed at the Hotel Genesio for 4 nights, overall it was an ok experience but not great. It was clean with fresh towels every day but quite worn, we had holes in the walls and the bathroom was not great. In some areas of the hotel there was a smell of sewage. I went together with a large group and... more

Stayed over 2 nights when Everton FC were in town. Room was smallish and the shower a bit cramped by the WC. Very clean with fresh towels each day. Breakfast consisted of juice/tea/coffee and muesli or cornflakes. There were also pre-packed biscuits and bread rolls with all the usual jams etc. Quite adequate but I didn't particularly like the rolls!... more
