Albergo Astro

It is a 1 star hotel, you get for what you pay. Staff was unpleasant

This is my response to the manager's response to my review published in February 2025. The response stated that I payed 25 euros per night to stay at the hotel which was cheaper than staying at a hostel and, thus, shouldn't complain about the room. I'd like to correct this statement. I paid $133 per two nights and given the amenities felt that the room was overpriced. If it indeed were 25 euros per night, I wouldn't have dared to complain. Thank you.

I have mixed feelings about this place. Pros: conveniently located, reasonably priced parking, quiet, friendly staff. Cons: the hotel was under renovation when we were there, so it was pretty messy. The room we stayed in wasn't renovated yet and looked more like a dorm room than a hotel room. The furniture, bedding and towels were old and looked unappealing. There was black mold in the shower stall.

I chose Alberto Astro for the location near one of the Genoa train stations. The area was surprisingly fancy. But don’t be fooled. The facade and spiral staircase are far more elegant than the albergo. The room was large, albeit sadly decorated. The breakfast was bare bones, although they make a great cappuccino! Most of the staff were friendly, except the night guard who was surly. Maybe that’s just his old-world, curmudgeonly style.

Good location on a bustling street, with a lot of stores nearby, including groceries. Easy check-in. Only downside is a little smell of smoke. It seemed some previous guests didn't abide by the smoke-free rule.

Excelente hotel, muy bien ubicado, las habitaciones estaban limpias y el personal muy amable. Está ubicado en un lugar estratégico donde puedes acceder a cualquier punto de la ciudad y además Te ofrecen un delicioso café todas las mañanas. Sin duda volvería

Настаняването беше в стара сграда на 5 етаж в централната част на града. За кратко пребиваване е добре. Домакинът е усмихнат и приятен , но е добре да има дребни евра когато таксува клиентите за хотелската такса .

The personal was very friendly and helpful.

Nice enough place, but the mosquitos will keep you awake all night. If you shower at peak morning times, expect a dribble of water most of the time. Positives are that is close to both the train station and a McDonald’s

Good place to be in.

Very helpful and kind employees went above and beyond! special thanks to stephano for the extra service and upgrade.

Hotel staff were friendly and kind. Room was clean. Bed was comfortable. Location is good. When I come back to Genoa, I'll stay here again.

Booked to stay in Genoa to watch football and explore the city. The guys were really friendly and helpful. Bothing was too much for them. The room was clean. The bed was comfortable. I will be visiting Genoa again and will stay here. Hotell is a 5-10 minute walk from Genoa Brignole station. Ideally located in the heart of the town centre but close enough to the train station that means getting to othwr parts of Genoa is really easy. 30 minute walk to the football stadium also. A lot of really nice places to eat nearby. I was made to feel at home here and everyone was just very kind.

English was spoken at the front desk, and lots of helpful ideas of what to see do in/around the city.

This property is not at all what we expected and in no way deserves the rating it has been given here. First of all we arrived at approx 8 in the evening and had a very difficult time finding the place. If not for a tiny sign on the sidewalk, you would not find the place. There is a small intercom with instructions in Italian which we finally deciphered and rang the bell. We were buzzed in to a lobby in a very old and dingy office building with a tiny elevator. We went to the 5th floor where we saw a glass door with an old decrepit blind covering the window. After a deep breath we entered to find a somewhat unkempt man who reeked of cigarettes, at the reception desk. NO ENGLISH. He gave us our key and we proceeded to our room. Large, spacious and verry verry old! All we could smell was a strong odor of bleach which would indicate the room had just been cleaned (or disinfected). I was worried about the bed and what I might find but it was clean and turned out to be quite comfortable. The toilet was jammed into the corner beside the tiniest shower I had ever seen and if you weigh more than 150 lbs. you may not fit into it. The included breakfast in the morning was nothing more than some pre packaged cookies and jelly rolls. And we were given one cup of coffee before the clerk, same man who had greeted us the night before went onto the balcony next to our table to have a smoke. Over all, it wasn't a terrible experience, but certainly not worthy of anything more than a 2 rating

I liked it: I'll be back!

Room was clean, most staff was really nice beside last one who wanted tax payed desperately in cash even as we said we have no cash. Water pressure in shower was a joke, bed could use a new mattress, but was clean and with a fridge too. Close to train station and bus and metro stops. Ideal for shopping. Other people were really loud even late at night.

Pros: Excellent location, Friendly staff, great value, beautiful staircase in lovely building Cons: very noisy internally, “interesting” plumbing Overall I would recommend this hotel

I like this place. Near The train, arch, park that oversees city. Reception is nice- upgraded me. It's style is like going back but everything works good in shower and bathroom. Has a desk and lamp on bed to soften the mood.
