Wifi wasn't working.
Staff not present at all, only on WhatsApp.
Bathroom clean but being shared I would expect it to be deep cleaned (mold/rust stains in the shower).
Building was under renovation (unsecure at the moment) on the lower and top floors.
Room size exceeded expectations, beds comfortable.
Good location, top pizzeria close by and bar right at the door.
Check in instructions easy and detailed over WhatsApp.
Overall good experience considering the price.

We contacted the hotel 48 hours prior to checking in but were not sent check in instructions as we should have been which resulted in us having to wait outside the gates of the hotel for the host to reply when we arrived. The hotel is very tricky to find. When we finally received instructions on getting into the hotel we then had to wait in the lobby to be told our room number. The door handle to our room was broken and barely holding on to be locked and unlocked. The hotel adversities WiFi and heating but the hotel became freezing at nights and the WiFi was unavailable. We spoke to other guests who said they had brought the WiFi issue up to the host a few days prior and nothing had been done. The cleanliness of the room was okay but the towels were stained and the showers were mouldy. The location of the hotel is nice as are the rooms but I would not recommend this hotel for a relaxing or easy stay!

There is no lift and the property is on the 3rd floor. It is inside a secure building. The street to the hotel is quite steep. There are two ways to enter the property. When you check in it is best to get a number 36 to the castle and walk from there. Sunny was very helpful on arrival and departure. He stored our luggage for us and helped carry our case outside. On the down side the hotel check in is only partially manned. There appears to be no one on site outside these times. The pillows were very hard but the bed was OK. It is a 15 minute walk to Garabaldi Street and a 22 minute walk to the station via the tunnel.

Rooms were nice and friendly host but the showers were in awful condition. Blackish mold all over the showers and on the bathroom wall. One of showers wasn’t draining and when I told the host he just shrugged it off. You wouldn’t be able to shower for more than 30 sec without flooding the bathroom with it draining so poorly. Door to the shower was also broken and wouldn’t close. The other bathroom shower had so much mold in it, it was appalling. This is all coming from someone whose standards are pretty low. Also, you could access the weirdo from your room. As soon as you shut the door the WiFi drops.
Do not stay here if your biking in as your going to have to haul your bike up 6 flights of stairs. Also it’s very hard to find the place as there’s no markings or signs.

This is a very old hotel in Genoa, close to the GNV. I arrived after 7 pm, no staff available at the reception. However, hotel provided clear instructions on what to do to get in. Initially, it was challenging, but once I figure things out, I actually felt good about the place. There was no private parking, so I was really concerned about parking my new car on the street.

Felt like a splendid hostel

An amazing building, with spacious rooms and hostel style set up gives this place great advantages in the budget friendly sector.

It just needs a good and consistent clean to remove dust, and hairs and things that contrast with the well decorated spaces.

Communication leaves a bit to be desired too so here are some tips to get checked in: make contact early - my return SMS didnt work so approach with WhatsApp too. Follow directions to tbe address but dont expect anyone to be waiting at the gate. Pass through the open gate and enter the building. Go down the stairs, until you see Leone's door plaque.

Property is at the top of a hill but does mean you get some stunning views. Was perfect for us as we didn’t leave too much and have to hike up again, there is grocery stores accessible without going down. Kitchen facilities were great, although there was sometimes a queue for the bathroom as showers are not separate. The rooms were great although quite hot as no AC. Communication with staff was great online and we didn’t see very much of them.

Perfect location and super clean, trendy accommoda

Took a little time to find the location and quite a few calls to the owners to get it sorted, but once sorted everything else was fantastic. Accommodation is lovely, the room we stayed is was in perfect condition and beds the most comfortable we stayed in on our travels. Location is great to walk to the old port and all the lovely restaurants it has to offer. Parking is a little challenging, but that’s to be expected in the centre of a big city. I used an app for on street parking and it was 12 euro for the day which is reasonable

Clean and comfortable room around a 10-15 walk from the central areas of Genoa (albeit up hill). Shared bathroom was clean and the building was nicely presented. The only criticism was the busy road outside was loud in the evening in the room I had. Thankfully I slept through most of it.

Michael is terrific host! very friendly, helpful and extremely accommodating!
The location was convenient for us - couple of minutes walk to Via Garibaldi with all the museums and perhaps 15 mins walk to/from Principe Train Station.
Enough various places in the immediate area to have a good meal (breakfast lunch or dinner)
The room was clean all the time and was adequate. No problems with shared bathrooms and although we did not use the kitchen/eating area - it was there and other folks in place did make use of it
The only 2 \"ehs\" are that the towels were a bit on thin side and have seen better days and that the shampoo/soap was supplied only once for a 2-night stay (would've been nice if it was for every one)

Cool place to stay

Very clean. Clear directions given on how to find hotel and how to check in. Michael was very friendly and helpful. Large, bright room with private bathroom. Funky decor! Clean communal kitchen to use if you would like. Original doors to suites offer character but are a bit flimsy. Although they lock, we were concerned about how sturdy and secure they were. Restaurants are a few blocks away.

Great

Leone X Genova is a great place to stay and excellent value for money. Our double room was very spacious (the most spacious we have had after a month of travelling!) with lovely decorated high ceilings. The room was also nice and cool and the wall artwork is amazing. The pictures depict the room as it is very well. The bathroom is separate to the room but only a very short distance away and fully equipped. All locks, electronics etc. worked fine and everything was clean. There is also a shared kitchen if required. The building itself is quintessentially Italian, with a grand ground floor entrance and an elegantly decorated open stone stairway. It is a bit of a treck from the train station but we managed it with rucksacks. There is a bus stop close by which runs from the station. Reception is open from 9-1 but you will be sent the entry code if you arrive later and can check in the following morning. Check out is by 10:30. The staff are very friendly. We would love to stay again sometime.

Médiocre, à éviter

Cet hébergement est situé en haut de montagne à Gênes, loin du centre-ville. Le trajet à pieds pour s'y rendre est donc ardu, côtes et nombreuses escaliers à monter. En dehors du centre-ville, avec aucun service de proximité (pas de bons restaurants, seulement un petit épicerie ou pizzéria commerciale). Les chambres ne disposent pas d'un air climatisé et il faut laisser les volets ouverts pour pouvoir respirer dans la chambre. Or, il y a beaucoup de trafic automobile ou scooter à proximité jusqu'à tard le soir, ce qui rend l'endroit très bruyant. Aussi, les chambres ne sont pas isolées, on entends les conversation des personnes dans les autres chambres.

Kaunis ja toimiva

Kaunis ja siisti majoitus, isot huoneet ja vaikuttava porrashuone! Ystävällinen hlökunta paikalla aamupäivällä. Ei ilmastointia, mutta vanhassa kivitalossa silti sopiva lämpötila nukkua. 4 huoneen käytössä 2 kylppäriä, hyvin toimi. Kadulta jonkin verran liikenteen ääniä illalla, mutta muista huoneista ei ääniä kuulu. Saapuessa meillä hankaluuksia löytää paikka, mutta kun reitit tulivat tutuiksi, niin kaupungille/satamaan/asemalle kävelyetäisyys. Kaksi hissiä ja funikulaari tuovat aivan lähelle, joten ei tarvinnut kivuta rinnettä/portaita, vaikka oltiinkin korkealla. Lähellä pari ruokakauppaa ja kahvilaa sekä funikulaarin yläaseman vieressä kiva pizza-/jäätelöravintola.
