We loved how easy and fast was to communicate with Fabrizio, our excellent host. Everything was well prepared for our group and Fabrizio went out of his way to help with all our needs. The spotless clean accommodation is perfectly located within a few steps from the bus and train station, and a merely half an hour walk from the centre of Genoa, along the sea (metro is also steps away from the location if you don't want to walk!). The warm focaccia we were offered on the morning of our departure was a perfect bonus! Mille grazie and see you again, Fabrizio!

The administrator was very sweet and helpful, I needed to check-out early in the morning, so I got some breakfast food before the actual breakfast time. The hostel is very close to train station, which was perfect as I needed to go there the next day.

Perfect spot Genoa! It's less than a 10-minute walk from the airport shuttle stop and train station, making it super convenient to get to. Plus, it's close to restaurants and supermarkets. The building itself is beautiful, especially with that authentic elevator. I had a comfortable stay here, and the staff were really cool and friendly. They also provide free walking tour with tour guide called Spyro which was amazing!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    A classic hostel in a big city. Equipments are clean and safe. If you are traveling in group it might be a great place to stay. However as a solo traveler, that may not be the best place to meet people

    Wow! One of the best hostels in Italy! Great location- right next to the train station. Check in was easy and fast. The staff at reception and the bar are exceptional. The social space is amazing - a bar, games room! Really easy to meet people. You get a free drink voucher when you arrive. The rooms are great, some with a balcony with a view.
