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.

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.

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.

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.

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...

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.

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.

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!

La struttura è a veramente pochi minuti da tutto, vicino alla stazione e al centro di Genova, la stanza è accogliente e dotata di bollitore con filtri per il te. Il bagno forse è un pò piccolino, ma molto accessoriato e confortevole. Il personale è educatissimo e disponibile a fornire indicazioni e informazioni sulle attrazioni da visitare.
