“Britannia's budget-friendly rates and central Genoa location appeal, especially with family-friendly room setups and communal kitchen access; the bar, with its social vibe, seems a real draw. I suspect the generous breakfast and pet policy, with its social spaces, outweigh any drawbacks for many.”
