This hotel is very well maintained and the amenities are great! The kitchen, the terrace, the laundry room, the private rooms are big and cozy. The staff is really nice and the location is great!
The hotel is in an amazing location right across the street from the train station. It was so convenient, as I arrived in Genoa quite late at night. The buffet breakfast at the hotel was very good. I would recommend this place.
We booked the Britannia Hotel online, but when we walked from the station, we couldn't find it because it now identifies as Bello Osteria and has the words Britannia Hotel written in small type inside the front door. So, it is really a sort of hostel for young people.
That said, they gave us a big, comfortable, clean and quiet room - with breakfast included - all for £68. We enjoyed the experience.
Great property and excellent atmosphere as well a events and access to essentials. The room though was only okay and could use a small renovation. The area directly in front of the property and on the main road is pretty safe at night, but as soon as you head towards the waterfront it gets very sketchy, this is nothing against the hotel though. Would stay here again for sure for the value.
This isn’t really a hotel but an attachment to a hostel. It is the same place as the ostello bello. I felt quite deceived and would have stayed elsewhere. It was quite expensive for a hostel room.

The room did not look like the picture. The bathroom was clean just very small. We had a large room but there was so much furniture and wardrobes that it was very cramped. Upon arrival there was hair on the bed, but apart from that it was clean enough.

Be aware
It was alright for a hostel. Really REALLY disgusting that they actually charge you to leave your bag in the luggage room. i checked out, train wasn’t till 1pm and they charged me to leave my bag - €3.5. Can you actually believe that?! Left a very very sour taste. Greedy greedy management
Esperienza hotel/ostello ottima, personale gentile e accogliente ci siamo sentiti in famiglia. Acqua , caffè, e un drink offerto. Ci ritorneremo sicuramente.
