Good location

Good location for getting to the old port and the main tourist areas. Nedo who checked us in was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast had a limited variety and the same same selection each day but given it’s free, it was decent. Our room was clean and fairly standard. The one downside was a constant noise from another A/C unit which we could hear when ours was turned off.

Great room size, plenty of space. Comfy bed and dark room. This room was above the Irish Pub so was definitely noisy but the windows did a good job of blocking most of the street noise. Staff were lovely and helpful, easy walk to the train station.

L’albergo è abbastanza carino situato davanti a una chiesa a pochi passi dall’acquario di Genova e a pochi passi dal centro. Logisticamente è molto bello. Le camere non sono di qualità eccelsa abbiamo trovato anche una sedia sfondata, ma i letti sono abbastanza comodi. Il personale è tutto molto molto gentile e disponibile. Purtroppo la struttura è a scale molto alte e ripide che si dipanano in tutte le direzioni, Sicuramente non è adatto a persone che non hanno la massima possibilità di deambulazione. L’ascensore è uno molto molto stretto e non era perfettamente funzionante. La colazione ottima. Nel complesso una buona esperienza

konumu, kahvaltısı ve temizliği iyi bir otel

konumu harika, tren istasyonundan 6-7 dakika düz bir yoldan yürüyerek varıyorsunuz. temizliği oldukça iyiydi. kahvaltısına şaşırdık çünkü yumurtadan kruvasanlara nutelladan, yoğurt ve meyvelere peynirlere, taze sıkılmış portakal suyuna kadar getiriyorlardı. resepsiyondakiler oldukça yardımseverdi. biz 3 gece kalıp trenle heryere rahatça seyahat ettik, fiyatı da oldukça uygundu.tekrar gitsem mutlaka kalırım.
