Staying at this hotel was perfectly adequate for a couple of nights. The rooms, while quiet, comfortable, and clean, were in a not so appealing building converted into apartments a few minutes' walk from the actual hotel. The service was very friendly and helpful, especially in advising on local attractions, although language skills beyond Italian were limited. The location was okay, a 20-30-minute walk to the city center but close to downtown for easy access to eateries and the old town. The dining experience offered a lovely selection of breakfast items included in the room rate, though choices were somewhat limited. The facilities were basic but satisfactory.

The hotel is situated in the center of Genoa, making it convenient to grab something nice to eat or stroll towards the old town. The rooms are spotlessly clean and comfortable, but the street noise can be bothersome, especially for working at the small desk provided. The service is exceptional, with staff being welcoming and proud to assist guests. The dining options, while basic, offer a mix of salty and sweet choices. Overall, a good value for money stay with stable WiFi for work.
