An industrial-scale hostel (three floors, 10 or more rooms on each), which is pretty well managed. Central location, 12 minutes walking distance from the Brignole railway station, 30 min - from the Piazza Principe station. Windows face a street with no traffic. Clean, toilets and showers are in a good condition. Each room with 6 bunks has its own toilet and a shower (mostly separate, some combo). Shower cabins are spacious and comfortable. The bunks have curtains, individual lamps and electric sockets (220V + USB). Ingenius system - each guest has an individual code which opens the room, the toilet, the shower and the hostel door after midnight. Good mattrasses; sheets are changed regularly. Individual lockers are of decent size and can be secured with a padlock (if you have one). Kitchen has nearly all the necessary things (but I could not find a corkscrew!), there are three fridges (one is in the TV room) and plenty of space to store the food. Around 8 p.m. there is a kind of rush hour in the kitchen, all 4 available burners are in a high demand. There is a decent pub on the ground floor. Small gym (have not used it), tennis table (same), a large TV set in the common area (same).

We mostly chose this place due to the proximity to the railway station and the good reviews and we were absolutely not disappointed. This hostel is excellent value for money and had a really great vibe. Check in and check out process was quick and easy and we really enjoyed the bar with a couple of drinks and then coffees the next morning. We were leaving early so had decided not to get breakfast but when I saw it, I really wished we had! Our room was absolutely huge with a great bathroom and very elevated and had brilliant views out across the port. The location was good for us, being a very short walk to the train station, and there were a number of decent restaurants and convenience stores located close by. We were also an easy walk up to the funicular station where we went for an evening ride up to the top just for something to do and to check out the evening views.

I had an amazing stay at this hostel! The staff were super friendly and always ready to help with anything. The rooms and bathrooms were very clean, the beds comfortable, and the atmosphere was really welcoming. I also loved the common areas – perfect for relaxing and meeting other travelers. The location is great too, close to the main attractions and public transport. Overall, a fantastic experience and I would definitely stay here again. Highly recommended!

A wonderful place to stay in Genova! It is a very friendly, vibrant, youthful, and cozy hostel. It’s located in a super convenient area — close to the city center and just a short walk from the train station, which makes getting around the city so much easier for any traveler. The rooms are neat and charming, the beds are clean and comfortable, and everything is kept tidy with regular cleaning. The staff are lovely — always friendly, helpful, and full of great tips. They make you feel truly welcome and leave a great impression not just of the hostel, but of the city as a whole. The hostel is set in a beautiful, old historic building with a unique and charming layout, which adds to its character. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting the city. Big thanks to the team!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    The hostel was so conveniently located near La Gare. The social area was great for meeting people and the bar well stocked. The welcome drink was a nice touch and the 6.90€ breakfast was amazing with lots of variety. All the App key codes were a bit overwhelming but quite cool when they worked.

    The hostel is located in a charming building, very well positioned in the heart of Genova's historic center. The shared dorm where I stayed was spacious and bright, with comfy bunk beds and big lockers - a padlock was also provided. The structure itself is very pretty and has a pleasant atmosphere. I much appreciated the kindness and dedication of the Staff, as well as the free breakfast included in the price. Would definitely recommend and be returning here if I happen to be in Genova again.

    Wow! One of the best hostels in Italy! Great location- right next to the train station. Check in was easy and fast. The staff at reception and the bar are exceptional. The social space is amazing - a bar, games room! Really easy to meet people. You get a free drink voucher when you arrive. The rooms are great, some with a balcony with a view.
