Ostellin Genova Hostel in Genoa

I booked a private room in this hostel. The room was very spacious, clean and simple but effective. The communal areas and bathroom were always clean and pleasant too. The staff at this hostel are excellent, they are friendly, welcoming and a great source of information. The hostel provides plenty of guides on things to do/ see and eat as well as a free tulips walking tour. The location is perfect and in the asking distance to all the main point of town.

Hostel 300 meters from Piazza de Ferrari. Enclave with 4 rooms in an adjacent building. Shared bathroom, kitchen equipped for breakfast. Very clean. Really friendly and helpful staff. €45 per person with breakfast. After the half marathon, we showered there and stored our luggage without any problems. Top.

Spyro’s walking tour was amazing! Went into it reluctantly seeing it was around 4 hours, but this was no issue as Spyro is so lovely and passionate about Genova it made the time fly by. He showed us some local food, history and the spots that you usually wouldn’t venture on your own looking around. Which helped change your perspective about the city. Couldn’t recommend this anymore and I say it is a great thing to do on your trip. Thank you Spyro

We arrived at OStellin genoa late, however were welcomed with open arms. We were given a tour upon arrival which I think is a really really nice touch. So personal. The buildIng confused me at first. It is very old and it does look abandoned until the second floor (hostel entrance).I think this added to the mystique. I felt as though I was living in the servants quarters of a wealthy palace. In a Good way! Bedroom was fine, I would have preferred curtains. There was a bit of noise regarding construction being done outside. I did not love this, however it is not the hostels fault. The kitchen was amazing. Free juice! I loved that! Also free milk and cereal etc. People were very nice and social. Would suit a solo traveller or a group! The sink and toilets were not in the room. Two toilets are also showers so I had to wait ten minutes to pee at one point! Staff were so friendly and helpful. They provide locks if you need one. Would recommend. A very vibrant place with vibrant people.

I enjoyed my stay here, it was basically in the heart of Genova; close to many pubs and restaurants; close to Saint Lorenzo Cathedral; within walking distance of the main train station; and the staff were friendly. I would stay again if I revisit Genova.
