"The hostel is absolutely fantastic:. The staff is very friendly and helpful, the hostel itself is cosy, extremely well equipped, offers free welcome drinks, a great breakfast + food to take out, comes with a patio with swings and hammocks + a kitchen with everything you need to prepare a meal after a day of exploring Genova (even recipes) & has lots of cute, homely lounge spots. Awesome."

“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.”
