A very atmospheric location in the heart of ancient Genoa. The hosts are very friendly and helpful, and the room was impeccably clean and had all the necessities for a comfortable stay. Good wifi is also an advantage!

Roberta, the owner, is the most kind and spontaneous person imaginable. One instantly feels at home. Genoa is not the cheapest town to stay in, but for less than 100 euros a night you get a spacious 35 square meters room with high ceilings and antique frescoes (!). The Royal Palace is just a few steps away on the same street. Breakfast not included, but they only charge 60 cents for a bottle of mineral water. I would strongly recommend Hotel Balbi if you are looking for a homely feeling and an authentic Italian Palace. Robert, Amsterdam.

In the city center, hotel on the second floor without elevator? No parking, not even the one offered because we have a large vehicle, but the welcome and the room are very pleasant and well-maintained. To visit the city, recommended.

Very well located, very quiet even though it's on a street side. Very decent services. The only downside is that there is no breakfast available but the option to have it in nearby bakeries or restaurants.

Very friendly and helpful reception. Room simple, clean, impeccable, quiet although 2 minutes walk from the train station and 5 minutes from the city center.

Very, very kind staff. Just for this reason, I would go back. Very courteous and helpful. The room was nice, in a historic building, there was even a kettle, even though the streets are very busy it wasn't noisy. I found it a bit difficult to climb the stairs because we were with a baby, it was on the fourth floor and I hadn't thought about it. The value for money is good. Unfortunately, due to Covid measures, they couldn't offer breakfast. In the area, you can take a walk along the harbor. To go to the beach, however, you need to take the car or the bus.

Perfect location. The hotel is located 2 minutes on foot from Piazza Principe station. Very welcoming and available for advice on staying in the city. Clean room. On the second floor, there is no elevator.

Everything is positive. The staff is very kind and helpful. The location is optimal, close to the train station and the main attractions, all easily reachable on foot. I definitely recommend it.

The structure is located in an optimal position for tourists who will move exclusively on foot or by public transport. The main sites of historical and cultural interest are indeed reachable on foot with a maximum half-hour walk to the furthest one. The hotel is very beautiful as it is actually a historic palace. The room in which I stayed was a triple, with beautiful frescoes on the dome ceiling that are truly spectacular, very spacious and equipped with every comfort. The managers are more than one and all very kind and cordial. They were indeed very willing to offer all kinds of information and suggestions for a top vacation. Highly recommended.

Hotel in historical building, very kind and helpful managers. Despite the location, a few steps from the station, it is quiet. Our room had a wonderful frescoed ceiling. Only issue hotel located on the second floor without an elevator.

Very close to the center and Piazza Principe station. Convenient for walking around and close to metro stops and the elevator that leads to Castello D'Albertis. Large and clean room with a stunning frescoed ceiling. Comfortable and clean bathroom in the room.

The rooms are spacious and clean but some are dark and noisy due to the fans. First stay all good, the second we had trouble resting precisely because of this. Also missing an elevator, for strollers and luggage it is really inconvenient even though there is a ground floor box. The price, however, is low compared to other hotels in the area and the staff is very kind. Fantastic location, close to the station.

The answer from the host:
Buongiorno, la ringraziamo per la recensione positiva e per essersi trovata bene, non comprendiamo però cosa intende per altre camere buie e rumorose dato che Lei ha pernottato solo in una camera e come ha potuto notare dalla sua, sono tutte ampie e spaziose. Le nostre camere hanno una metratura che va dai 25 mq ai 35 mq e quelle affrescate sono alte 6 mt. Solo le 3 camere singole sono standard e più piccole ma sempre con un french bed. Sulle ventole non so cosa risponderLe perché è la prima volta che un cliente lo fa notare. Forse si riferisce alle ventole nei bagni ciechi per l'aspirazione dell'aria essendo, ma si spengono e si accendono con la luce e su 13 camere ne abbiamo solo due, una era la sua l'altra di una camera distante 10 metri. Non vorrei che sia sia verificato un imprevisto rumoroso agli appartamenti turistici al piano di sotto ma sono gestiti da un'altra proprietà oppure in una camera a fianco della sua. Ci spiace averlo saputo solo adesso, altrimenti saremmo potuti intervenire immediatamente ed eventualmente spostarla di camera. Gli addetti alla reception sono sempre pronti, nel limite del possibile, a risolvere i problemi che si presentano, l'importante è essere subito informati. Distinti saluti Fabrizio.

The location is very convenient, in a nice historic building without an elevator but with an easy staircase. It is located 5 minutes from P. Principe station, which allows you to leave your luggage and continue exploring the city with comfortable walks. The owner is very friendly and helpful.

The room and the bathroom were very different from the ones in the photos, based on which I made the reservation. Despite the lack of practicality, the bathroom was very clean, as well as the room. The location is excellent for visiting the city and is close to the Principe station. The real strength is the gentleman at the reception, who managed to turn around a stay that started with a bit of disappointment.

Unfortunately, the website does not explain the address well, as there was another identical number on the same street. No mention that it was on the third floor and without an elevator, but the lady believed that I should 'deduce' it...

Located right in the Historic Center of Genoa, you will be welcomed professionally by its very kind and helpful staff. From here you have the opportunity to visit all of Genoa on foot. If you arrive by car, you can use the long-term parking at discounted prices, but I would have preferred to arrive by train despite the luggage because it is very close to the Principe station. If I return to Genoa, I will ask for accommodation here again. Thank you Hotel Balbi and see you soon.

Structure in my opinion logistically very convenient from which you can easily reach many potential places of interest on foot. Hospitable, kind and helpful managers, and no less - discreet and not intrusive at the same time. I did not ask for breakfast so I cannot express myself on that, and but there are nearby bars where you can eventually have breakfast or snack... Mmm, also a great focaccia place right next door turning left. For the less sporty, 'elderly' or 'lazy' consider that there is no elevator but rather a few flights of stairs to climb on foot: better not to load up with too much luggage. Definitely recommended, especially for those who like to explore and not stay locked inside given the not too large size of the rooms (the one where I stayed at least). It went very well for me, I have a nice memory! Hi Federica, thank you!

Super nice managers the Balbi Family Hotel is located in an 1800s building with splendid rooms with frescoed vaults. Very close to the train station, old port and historic center. We spent a splendid week in Genoa, recommended.

The structure is really just a few minutes from everything, close to the train station and the center of Genoa, the room is cozy and equipped with a kettle with tea filters. The bathroom may be a bit small, but very well-equipped and comfortable. The staff is extremely polite and available to provide directions and information on the attractions to visit.
