I booked this hotel in Genova for a trip with my sister, but due to an unexpected change, I ended up going alone. In the end, it turned out to be one of the best surprises in Italy. The hotel's location is great: just a seven-minute walk from the Piazza Principe station, a few steps from the charming historic center, several museums, and right outside the hotel’s front entrance, just cross the avenue and you’re at the Porto Antico, home to the must-see Genova Aquarium, great restaurants, and a beautiful waterfront view. After about two hours of walking, stopping for a gelato here and there, I made it to the city’s seaside promenade — stunning all the way through — and about an hour later, I reached Boccadasse, on the eastern edge of the city. The historic center is fascinating — the layout is full of character, and it’s actually gamified: you’ll find QR codes that lead you to more hidden spots to explore. The highlight of my stay was the hosts: two warm, attentive gentlemen with a deep love for music and football. They welcomed me with great kindness and shared stories about Genovese music — that’s how I found out that singer Fabrizio De André, that I often listen on my Italian classes, was from Genova. I left an even bigger fan. The room and bathroom were exactly the size I needed — everything was very clean and quiet. Since I stayed only a short time, I didn’t get to enjoy the breakfast or the common areas, filled with records, instruments, and music references. My favorite detail was a Stairway to Heaven poster by Led Zeppelin, right in front of the staircase leading to the rooms. I left completely enchanted by Genova, wishing I had explored more of the city. Now I know exactly where I’ll stay next time!

Exceptionally friendly staff and location was excellant

Have to be honest, the main entrance to the Hotel is not in a nice street. Once you check in, you have a key for the entrance on the main Road and I suggest you use this door, it takes you into the building and you have a code to enter the Hotel.but I felt safer than using tbe main entrance to the Hotel. I don't like leaving g negative comments, but I just did not feel safe outside the Hotel entrance.

Clean, and everybody was very friendly!

The location was very central, however, it was located in a place where a lot of people had very antisocial behaviour and drug consumption. It is not a problem of the hotel, but the authorities must control that because it looks so bad and ruins the place, especially the entrance to the Hotel.

Excellent staff, clean. 15 min walking to the historical center and train station.

Even though the hotel is located a short distance to the historical center, the neighborhood is not so good, you have to watch yourself, a lot of unsavory characters around. Every night the loud noise was coming from the street up to 3 o'clock in the morning.

It was much more than we expected. Price was very reasonable. When we arrived, we had to enter thru two very old large Hammered doors that looked Ancient. We rang bell and someone opened the door. In front of us was a tall staircase to go up to check in and, thank goodness we were helped with our luggage. The waiting area was so exciting and unusual with old records and instruments all over the walls. Many steps to our room that was very clean and neat and comfortable. The desk clerk was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. A very fun remembrance of our trip.

Outside downtown area.

The staff was good and helping. Could book it on the go as our previous booking was turned out to be fraud for other place on the same street.

Rooms are very small. Lights are not proper. Location is not good. It will feel like a slum in the city where the other sides are so beautiful - this section and the road is dark, gloomy and full of drug eddicts.

Friendly and helpful staff. All the facilities were great. The bed was comfortable and the shower nice and hot. Great location for visiting aquarium and other sites in Genoa.

Abundant and varied breakfast for the price. Very nice room, clean and tidy, with air conditioning and a nice bathroom. Great service and staff.

Outside noise.

The location was very good. The room was clean.

The bed was too small for 2 people. An entrance in the hotel was a little strange, a narrow street with strange people. The shower is small, you have to squizz in.

We stayed here for one night only, but it exceeded our expectations. After reading the reviews, we felt a little bit uncomfortable about the location and safety (travelling with two kids), but we realized it is rather about people´s assumptions than the reality. It was a great place with a genius loci of old port multicultural part of town, busy as ever with narrow streets, restaurants and loud people and of course crazy traffic. The only disadvantage was an expensive public underground parking across the street (on which we got some discount from the hotel - nevertheless staying there several days you would spend unreasonable amount of money on parking). Nevertheless, a very close to aquarium (500m maximum), nice options to eat out in surroundings, comfortable rooms with a view into narrow and busy alleys and mainly a very nice guy running the hotel! So we thank for the stay and we will definitely be back! :-)
