The hotel was a convenient choice for staying near the Centro Storico and the harbor area, with the plus of plenty of nearby restaurants but the minus of difficult access from the public parking zone. The rooms, while small and somewhat dated, were clean and just right for two people. The service was lacking with unhelpful and sometimes rude staff. The location earned a high rating for being in the heart of the old town with good security measures in place. The dining options offered limited and average fare, leading to a fairly basic experience. Despite these drawbacks, the affordable price was a saving grace, making it suitable for budget-conscious travelers.

The hotel's location is fabulous in Old Genoa near the harbor and Palaces, though it involves a bit of a hike from the public parking area. The rooms looked horrible with greenish walls, were very compact and outdated, dark and depressing, overlooking an alley in a seedy part of town. The service was a mix of unfriendly communication issues but also helpful and friendly interactions, including early check-in and tourist inquiries assistance. The dining experience was basic, with limited options and not particularly fresh. The location near the old town and the Port Antico offers good security and easy access to subway stations.

I found the hotel to be a mixed experience. The rooms, though lacking cell phone signal and a bit claustrophobic, had a quiet air-conditioner that was a relief during the hot nights. On the downside, the service was poor due to the indifferent and even rude staff. The location was somewhat convenient for my needs but had its drawbacks. The dining options were basic and not very exciting. Overall, it was a stay with both positives and negatives.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The room I had was the smallest I'd ever seen, which was quite convenient for one person, but it felt very compact and dated. I could smell the mold in the room, and it was also very noisy. On the bright side, the location was great as it was in the historical center, making it ideal for exploring the nearby attractions. The dining was complete and satisfying, but the menu was the same every day. The service was a bit disappointing as the staff didn't seem welcoming or helpful, especially since they didn't speak English or French.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The room was small but convenient for a solo traveler, situated in the heart of Genoa. The decor was pleasant, yet the room was dark and somewhat depressing, overlooking a seedy alley in the port city with its unique vices.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were very clean, especially the bathroom, but felt dark and depressing with outdated furniture, giving off an untidy living room vibe. The location was nice, close to the beach, but being in a seedy part of town meant experiencing the port city's vices firsthand. The service was helpful and friendly, except for a couple of surly individuals who seemed disinterested in assisting guests. The dining experience was self-serve and good, but the small, confined space was not well planned out.

My stay at the hotel was a bit of a mix. The rooms were tiny and dirty, but the bathroom next door was surprisingly clean. However, the overall look with those greenish walls was not appealing. The service varied between helpful and friendly interactions and some abrupt encounters. The location was convenient, close to the subway stations, but had some issues like water dropping between bathrooms. The dining was self-serve and okay, but in a poorly planned space. Despite some downsides, the facilities were decent.

The hotel had clean and well-serviced rooms, with a quiet air-conditioner that was essential for the hot and humid nights. However, no cell phone signal was available. The service was provided by a combination of helpful staff and a less welcoming reception team.
