“Excellent for the first-timer in Genoa”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 February 2012

Fulvia the proprieter is as helpful as any owner of accommodation can be. She is ready to show off her good knowledge of English - and very ready to guide you in your faltering Italian - about any aspects of the sights to see in and around Genoa: the Aquarium, the Zecca-Righi Funicular, Portofino and the Cinque Terre, Nervi, the football stadium and many many beautiful museums and shopping areas - which abound in Genoa. It is a long, thin city, set between the mountains and the sea. Across the road (literally) from Delfino Blue are the large "floating hotels", the steamship liners that cruise the Mediterranean Sea. The Volabus from the airport passes by the front door, coming to a convenient stop at Principe Station. I used Google Streetview to confirm the short walk along Via Adua etc to the front door of Delfino Blue, which was very handy because as soon as the bus came to the large ships, I could see all the places exactly as I had seen them on Streetview, and so had an easy walk back from the bus. The house is very clean and tidy: no-one may smoke, save for the owners... The rooms are large, clean and tidy, and all the floors are made from marble. The "common area" is the hallway where there is a free internet desk, and a piano for all to use! The kitchen is clean and tidy - light breakfast is included in the modest charge, and brought-in food is possible to eat in there in the evenings. As I say, Fulvia is always on hand and is very approachable to ask about any aspects of your stay in the city. I thoroughly reccommend this establishment - and who knows, I may well stay there yet again!

Room Tip: In warmer months, if you want the window open, try a room at the back, as it faces away from the mai...

“Blue B&B”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 September 2011

The Good: nice location, close to the center and acquario (a must see!), good wifi, very kind owner, spacious & pretty room, all was quite clean, comfy bed

The Bad: No parking and almost impossible to find a spot in the streets around (very busy place), breakfast was ok but not much in variety and not much in quantity

“I loved it and i'll definitely stay there again if i come back to Genoa”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 September 2011

We stayed in Genoa for one day before leaving for Rome. It was great with Blue B&B. We had a big room with a comfortable double bed. It was very worth it the money that we spent there. The hotel is quite close to the center. The breakfast was nice. But the greatest thing is its owner. She was really really kind, enthusiast and funny. She gave us a complete introduction of the city and the places that we should go and she even kept some things for us in her frige (we took the flight to Rome from Genoa and came back there before going home!). Strongly recommend!

“Fantastic find!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 July 2011

This place is fantastic to base yourself for the Cinque Terre. I stayed here on my own and the owner is amzing and so hospitable! This place was excellent value for money with spacious clean rooms and facilities and a lovely breakfast included. Not the party central place but wouldnt want it to be because that would take away the charm. Fabulous and only 15-20 mins walk to the city centre. Very close to Principe Station - easy 5 mins walk. Loved it and would definitely stay again.

Room Tip: Book in advance! :)

“Friendly hostel though a tad noisy”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 April 2011

I stayed here with two friends for two nights, it was a lovely little find. The room we got offered was amazing. After sleeping in some rather small and pokey hostel rooms the one we got, which I believe was the largest, felt like a mansion. The owner was also very friendly and helpful.

It's not too far away from the centre or the train station but if you are looking for dinner at night it could be difficult unless you make your way back into town.

Because it is on a main road it does get noisy when you open the window but that shouldn't be too much of a problem.

Overall it was a lovely experience.
