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!

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.

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!

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!
