The only negative I can tell, is that Booking.com showed 6€ city tax for our stay, but we had to pay 16€ instead… (I don't want to talk against B&B Italian Guest Genova, but I have to address this somewhere, someone stole 100€'s from my wallet, and it probably happened at the accomodation, while we were away for a couple of hours. Maybe I'm mistaken, but be careful around here)

Stayed for only one night. Very clean and nice looking accomodation. Very well located, close to the train station and the seaside. All sights in the city can be quickly visited on foot. The cleaning lady was very kind and it surprised me that breakfast was included. (maybe I missed this information)

We didn’t like the smell of the flat, it wasn't anything bad, but it wasn't anything nice to smell either...not sure if it's a product used to clean or what that is, but it was not very nice... Also, we did pay for a room with private bathroom, but we have been told to use a shared bathroom with the other 2 rooms.

Great location, nice restaurants nearby.

The area at night could be quite dodgy.

The apartment and the bedroom are comfortable enough for a short stay.

You will be additionally charged (about 10 EUR) if you check in after 22:00. Nobody warned about this.

Super location, close to the port and railway station.

around 1am somebody came in the apartment and it was very loud. the walls are very thin, you can hear everything, especially from the outside. the area is sketchy.

the breakfast, the bed, the keys. the staff is very nice and the bathroom also.

While it isolated noise from the outside, you could hear everything that was going on the inside, which could be troublesome for light sleepers. Also, this is totally out of the hotel’s control, but the area is quite sketchy, so be careful of times to go out and come in!

The bedroom was really nice and the AC did wonders here. The room is also quite large, and they only have 2 more rooms, which makes sharing the bathroom pretty seamless.

Several reviewers have commented on the arrangement of the rooms i.e. that you have to go through the breakfast area to get to the bathrooms. This didn't bother us - once we got the hang of it. Gave the place a kind of 'hostel' feel and meant we chatted to our fellow travellers.

Comfortable, clean rooms in a great position close to the train station. Ideal for exploring the city of Genoa. We enjoyed the breakfast provided and access to a kettle, fridge, mugs etc. Great value, friendly accommodation.

Nothing all good .

Location , bed very comfy and clean.

Problem we had was the noise, the rooms were not sound proof and we heard everything when trying to sleep - preparing breakfast, people checking in, snooring etc

Clean, very friendly staff, good location, comfy bed.

The bathroom (toilets, sink and shower) was not in the room and you have to cross the kitchen area to get there. Not the most convenient but it's ok.

The room was rather nice and everything was really clean. Breakfast was good.

The toilet was at the other end of the b&b. Breakfast was not fresh.

It was okay. Nothing was really good.

Nothing

Good location. On main road and near stations/shops. Expected some road noise but didn't really notice any with windows closed.

Even if the room was comfortable, it was really noisy during the night and early morning. Besides, we payed for two nights with breakfast included and we didn’t get any the second day, encountering the lady who made breakfast when we had to leave (the breakfast was offered from 7:00 to 9:00 AM and we left at 7:30, because we had to find somewhere else to eat).

It was placed in a really good location, close to the station ‘Genova Piazza Principe’ and to the port.

The building entrance is not a good face for business, it smells bad, is dirty and looks like ruined. A different-contrasting thing when you cross the door of the B&B. The room windows face the street and there is a bus stop luminous sign that "sheds light into your dreams" at any time!! Finally, the room requires A/C desperately!!!

The place is clean and it is located right on Via Balbi, so everything is nearby. You can get very good restaurants, shops, cabs, buses, sites or trains in a short walk. They include breakfast in the rate and breakfast is quite acceptable, they provide a variety of options and do not restrict portions. The staff is attentive and helpful, they are always near if you need them.

Our flight was delayed and we were charged 10 euros for checking in at 22.30. We were told that check in is open until 22.00 only. There is no mention of this on the booking page. Be aware of this.

Good location between old town and the railway station.

Location of the 'private bathroom'. It was too far from the bedroom and had to walk through the breakfast room to get to it.

Comfortable bed, good shower, convenient location, good sound proofing on windows.

It's a smaller place with only 3 rooms. 2 rooms share one bathroom, and there is 1 room with a private bathroom which is not en suite. No shelves in the bathroom - I am not sure where you are supposed to put your clothes while taking a shower.

Excellent location close to the central station. If you keep the windows closed it's surprisingly quiet even though the accomodation is located on a busy street. Friendly, English speaking staff (one of the guys is hard to read, but still supportive). We were allowed to deposit our luggage without additional cost. The room was simple but has everything you need. For breakfast there was toast, yoghurt, muesli, freshly cut fruit, coffee, juice - more than you would expect in Italy.

The owner/man on charge made me feel extremely uncomfortable. The day before my arrival he took it upon himself to message me on WhatsApp and not on booking.com. At first he was asking about my arrival but then started asking which person I was in my WhatsApp profile photo so he knew. It all felt odd. When I arrived an hour early I was told I would need to pay €10 to put my bag in the luggage room....yet there wasn't a luggage room and the cleaner put my bag under a table in the kitchen area. I then went exploring for the day and he messaged again asking what time I would be back. Very inappropriate. Why would he need to know ? When I did arrive back that evening my key wouldn't work in the door so he buzzed me in. He was there alone and there were no other guests as far as I could see. He asked me to pay the €10 so I said can I pay card and he said no it was cash or transfer only. The transfer wouldn't work from my English account to his. So he asked me to go to the cash machine but I said no as it was late, dark and my phone battery was on 2%. So I said I would go in the morning . I then went to my room. He then came and knocked on my door. I felt extremely uncomfortable and couldn't settle. He gave me a receipt for the luggage - even though I hadn't paid at this point ?! I close the door and lock it. I could hear him outside the door for quite some time. I then received a message on WhatsApp. It was a read once photo message from him asking if I was interested in him and that he thinks I'm attractive . He said we could work out another way to pay the €10. I immediately packed up my things and left as quickly as I could. He then started sending me abusive messages from two different numbers calling me rascist. Please do not stay here. Especially if you are a female travelling alone !!!!!!!

Smell, and relatively small compared to apartments of similar price range. Also had to pay for storing my luggage for a few hours

This is an old first floor apartment that was divided into 3 rooms. There's no nose isolation. You can hear everything happening in the house. Windows open to two busy streets. You can hear some street noise even when shut. Forget about opening them though because of people smoking outside. The worst thing was the manager. First, he accused us of stealing when we took a few breakfast items like yogurt and juice from the fridge outside of breakfast time even though nothing was said or written about it. He would not leave us until we paid the inflated prices. Then they could not find the tv remote after we checked out and also accused us of stealing. Thankfully they found it without us having to return and look for it.

In general the place is not bad. It's an old building that was recently renovated. Inside it's modern and clean. The cleaning lady was very nice. The shared bathroom was working out ok. The air-conditioning worked great. The beds were soft and comfortable. Linens and towels felt new. Breakfast was basic but ok.
