The hostel provides certain units that feature a safety deposit box, and all rooms are fitted with a private bathroom with a bidet and a hairdryer. The units include bed linen.

Popular points of interest near Ostello Bello Genova include University of Genoa, Aquarium of Genoa and Gallery of the White Palace. The nearest airport is Genoa Cristoforo Colombo Airport, 9 km from the hostel.

The location is so good, just 100 meters away from the train station. You do not need to get a taxi to the hostel and it is close to some of the sights of interest. The people working at this hostel are the most intelligent ones I have ever met in hostels all over the world. I liked so much their video with thoughts from all world about traveling, most of them known but reading them together you feel that those people there have the same travel philosophy as yours and that's wonderful - you feel a part of the community. I had a long and cold journey /waiting all night at the cold train station in Milano for the early train from Milano to Genoa/ after my flight from Sofia to Milano. They met me with a glass of wonderful wine that made me feel straight away at home.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Excellent location and safety. Lift. Well equipped for basic kitchen needs. We did ask for a kettle which was provided. Triple glazing so nice and quiet. Enough surrounding restaurants. I would really recommend this place. Wifi. Very budget friendly. Modern and spotless.

    Great location. Easy access to the train station and the port. Very good restaurants in the area, safe and calm. Stayed in Genoa the day before we started our cruise and would definitely stay another time. Room a little bit outdated but bed very comfortable and clean.

    Great location to sightsee around Genova with good transport links to go further out. Very helpful staff who were willing to answer any question I had. Great hostel with great facilities, the best and most surprising thing for me was that when an unexpected zoom meeting was booked during my stay I was able to borrow a laptop from the hostel to attend this.

    The location felt very safe for me as a solo female traveler. I had some struggles in the hostel and the staff helped me with a smile every time. The kitchen works fine and had everything needed, expect for spoons, there were only small table spoons.
