This beautiful 4 room hotel has so much character and elegance and is very conveniently located next to the main Genova train station. The rooms are very clean, have great amenities, and the staff are extremely friendly and helpful. While the neighborhood is a little different th an a couple blocks away where the. real touristy part of Genova starts, we preferred this more authentic and real slice of this very cool city. We would definitely stay here again next time we are in Genova.

This hostel, located just a few minutes from the train station, the center, and the beach, is a great place to stay to be able to explore the whole Ligurian coast. Everything is quiet brand new, the beds are comfortable, and the kitchen is easy to use and relatively well equipped. Sori itself offers some great food and nice swimming on the central beach, but is directly connected to Genoa on one side and Rapallo, Sestri Levante, and even close to Portofino on the other.

Really really friendly staff. I actually have nothing to do with horses and I had no intention of riding a horse, but I did ride a horse, very nice! Had nice conversations with the staff. Rooms are very basic, but I don't mind.

All hostels in Genoa

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's 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 little 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.

Location was great, place is welcomed to any age group, safe, welcome drink was bonus, I fell in love with common areas especially terrace and decor throughoutthe place. .It's the place I'd recommend to anyone. I stayed in such a nice room with amazing city view and large balcony. 5+ star to value

    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.
