I have stayed in various Hostel's over the years & this one was very clean & safe. I did have my own room at the hostel, the room was very clean and had a safe as well. The hostel has cameras in the halls and keyless entry to the rooms, after 8pm you need a code to get up the elevator as well. The staff give you a map with local attractions to the city as well. The staff all speak good English & are very helpful. The hostel is very close to restaurants & local attractions as well & about 2 blocks from a busy train station. The paid breakfast was also very good, lots of options and fresh. The hallways can be busy in the morning & later at night from people coming & going but overall very quiet even when they had loud evening events going on (I did stay on the 6th floor for my stay). Would highly recommend staying here & would use some of their other locations in the future!
A real gem! Large rooms, conveniently located, unique rooms, clean, friendly staff, great price.
Good location, close enough to the old town to walk. Spacious room, clean, polite and helpful staff. Room was located at the back so had a court yard which got quite noisy late evening.
nice hotel to stay in. great location, nice restaurant in hotel and good ones in neighborhood. friendly staff. could stay again.
Very nice for a hostel. Room was very clean with nice balcony. Bar in hotel, very walkable to restaurants, bars, train station.
Amazing hostel!
We everything was great and clean. Night parking a little far to carry suitcase.
This hostel has a very young and hip vibe. I was worried about noisiness, but it wasn't an issue at all, even with our room overlooking the courtyard. The room itself was very clean and well stocked. Plus we were so close to the train station. I would recommend it to anyone staying in Genoa.
Geeat location
Great location. Perfect spot near the principle train station. I booked a private room as a solo female traveler over 50. The common areas are wonderful- well designed and inviting. I was on the 6th floor. There are 2 lifts. However- The AC was not working. July. Very hot in Genoa. The room was uncomfortably hot All day and night. No fans provided (a fan could have helped so much as I was covered in sweat). The only relief was leaving the room a LOT and cold showers ever few hours during the night time. It was so hot I couldn't sleep. I had wide open doors to the balcony felt unsafe but I tried it anyway-- there was zero breeze. I could have paid for a regular hotel and been more at ease-- which I regret as it was short visit. No compensation although the staff knew the AC was not working. They said they "are working on getting it fixed". If you plan to stay there during summer months you might contact them in advance to see if it's been fixed or try to request a floor that has functional AC.
Hostel was very welcoming, good breakfast… definitely worth the price:))
Great place to stay. Just need hooks in the bathroom
good location
Best ever
This is my third time here. First I chose it because of the location. It’s literally 3 minutes from the train station and from the airport bus stop at Piazza del Principe. Also very close to cruise terminal. Once I tried I liked it. The beds are strong and comfortable with personal light and plugs option. Every room has a bathroom. Not all beds are bunk beds. I was in a room with 4 single beds in now. We can have lots of free stuff, like Americano coffee, free food in the kitchen and toiletries if needed. Also a paid breakfast or take away bag are available. Everything is clean and well managed. The staff is very helpful and kind. The only thing I didn’t like was the loud late party on Friday. Also needs to be aware and be careful as the rooms have 3-4 steps inside. I’m excited to try their other hostels in Italy as well.
Top hostel in Genova
Excellent hostel! So many amenities for free. Free food, gym, live music and more
The property was right next to the train station and walking distance to a handful of restaurants.
Dirty hotel with bad odors. Horrible bed, noise and drunk people.
The stuff so good so welcomed rooms are clean.ans services are good.
The hostel was great! It’s affordable and modern. Very close to the train station. The area is sketchy, so don’t go out at night, and the parking is difficult. The mattress was very hard but other than that everything else was great. Great price for breakfast and a good selection!
Clean, comfortable accomodation right near the bus station and port of Genoa. Staff are very friendly and helpful and facilities are great. The gym could use some work but I didn’t expect one anyway so can’t complain.
Would stay there again.
All the best!Thank you !Good recommend!
VERY PROFESSIONALLY RUN ESTABLISHMENT WITH A WELL FURNISHED LARGE KITCHEN AND FREE FOOD, ENOUGH TO PREPARE A BASIC MEAL.
Great place to stay
A great hostel, would return.
It was relatively inexpensive and the staff was very helpful with any questions and it was a pleasant stay for my first time in a hostel.
My review
The room was great, but the atmosphere between guests overall was a bit mixed, and not a typical happy hostel feeling to the place. The common areas were good but bar service very slow and expensive. The lifts were busy and slow to arrive, so I started getting familiar running down 6 flights of stairs. Only 5 mins walk from station.
Not a pleasant stay
I have booked a 4 bed dorm but given a weird 3 bed room. Room is designed very weird that you have to climb stairs to get to 2 beds. There is only one airconditioner beside the first bed which is located "downstairs" but if that person staying there closes the curtain (which is obvious for light) then air conditioner is not available at all and trying to sleep in the upper beds are a nightmare because of the heat in the room. (hot air moves up: physics) Shower is super small that you can barely move your hands, the drain was not properly working. Bed is really uncomfortable. They are ultra cheap mattresses that are kind of old. Overall I would never stay in here again. Very disappointing and overrated place.
met the most amazing people
Free drinks and breakfast.
Amazing stay! We loved ostello bello!
Surpreendente
Nos surpreendeu o atendimento na recepção, no bar e restaurante. Tudo perfeito, comidas deliciosas.
Eccel.ente a parte la pioggia. Ostello Bello è un posto eccellente dove alloggiare. E Genova è smpre bella.
Molto centrale
Excelente hostel en Genova con todos los servicios necesarios de un hostal, excepto toalla. El lugar es muy agradable, restaurante. Hay un buffet desayuno a un precio excelente. Bien ubicado.
tout est clean !
An excellent, open hostel with a young heart. It is situated directly near a railway station Genova Piazza Principe; there are the famous Via Balbi elevator, which travels 300m horizontally before ascending directly opposite and Maritime museum per foot available. The atmosphere is very friendly. Can recommend it to stay in Genova!
Just bad, and no parking if you Are an foringer
Unfriendly staff. The information they provide to Expedia Are not corect. And they refuse to do anything about it.
Schöner Ort, grosszügiges Zimmer, fairer Preis.
In viaggio con mio figlio, ostello che consiglio anche con bambini, frequentato da viaggiatori internazionali di diverse età. Oltre alle camerate, vi sono anche stanze private con bagno interno. La nostra era pulitissima, enorme e con un letto molto comodo. Gentilezza, accoglienza, spazi comuni curati e atmosfera top. Drink di benvenuto incluso nel prezzo, come anche una serie di beni di prima necessità! Provato anche il bar / pub / ristorante, frequentato anche da esterni: voto 10. Insomma … anche l’ostello da solo vale la visita. Grazie! Mariangela
Hébergement situé en bout de la rue Baldi, à 10mn mn du centre, grande chambre au calme avec salle d'eau équipée
Chambre très propre, calme, petit déjeuner simple
ottimo posto
Excelente !
Hostel muito bem localizado perto da ferroviária Piazza Príncipe com várias opções perto para café da manhã e almoço. Quarto e banheiro muito limpos, frigobar, ar condicionado, Tv, wi-fi excelente. Ficamos no 6°andar, muito silencioso. Nada para reclamar. Recomendo.
Hat gepasst. Heizung ging nicht und Zimmer waren in der Früh sehr kalt.
SÚPER-RECOMENDADO
Excelente ubicación servicio todo, felicitaciones
最高の宿泊でした、無料フードもたくさんあり、常に食事に困らない!
PERFEITO
Ótimo atendimento desde a recepção, o pessoal do bar, restaurante funcionários internos todos muito atenciosos. o Bufe do café da manha por 6.90 E muito bem servido com várias opções valeu a experiência . muito obrigado a todos
le foto non corrispondono alla reltà vissuta del hotel, le camere matrimoniali o doppie vanno rimesse a nuovo
Everything fine!
La chica rubia de pelo corto de recepción fue súper amable. De ahí en más todo estuvo “normal”. La cocina desordenada. El WIFI es malísimo, en general no estaba muy limpio, la cama era cómoda, pero de ahí en más todo estándar

Really loved the vibes here. Lots of staff and volunteers so tons of activities and fun people to meet. The rooms have real beds which is nice and the lockers are plenty big for all your belongings. Large kitchen with tons of free food, and amenities to cook for yourself, and was pretty clean considering. Really loved the vibes here. Would stay at this chain again.
