This was the worst hotel my wife and I have ever stayed at. The room was not clean, there were cigarette buts all over the floor, it was very noisy all night, the beds were horrible, and the breakfast consisted of prepacked stale food. We booked for two nights but only stayed for one. We ended up booking into another hotel in Genoa The night we stayed there was the longest night of our lives. Do Not Stay Here!!!

The hotel is simple but I had a good single room with shower/toilet and air condition. Paid 190 Euro for 4 days. The location is ok, but not very nice ca 500m west of Genova Principe train station, a short walk from the international harbour. There is a friendly cafe/bar 50 meter from the hotel that also serves meals. In front of the hotel there is a road with some traffic, the main road with heavy in front of the harbour is also only a few meters away. My room was facing the backyard and was not noisy, the window also seemed to take away a lot of noise. The aircondition worked fine so I could have the window closed if I wanted. Breakfast was not optimal for a Norwegian used to 'real' breakfast, but had different yoghurts and cereals beside some normal fatty things that you get in southern Europe. Suprise: they had something we call 'Knekkebrod' that comes from Sweden originally I think, thick crispy wholemeat bread.

To the perhaps most interesting sites in Genova you can use subway or bus only a few meters away, I walked the distance (1-2km) Tip: good shoes, the landscape is by no means flat and lots of stones, not only asphalt. Another problem: there are almost as many dogs as people in the town and I miraculously managed to pass all their little/big surprises all over town. In Paris once on Pont neuf I was not so lucky and got brown shoes AND stockings, perhaps I have learned from that experience :)
