Albergo Posta

Small hotel in a strategic position near the Principe station, simple and essential as well as clean. In addition, the owners also made an effort to give us the room before the guaranteed time and this was a gesture that we appreciated very much. I definitely recommend it.

Basic hotel with no frills and unnecessary bows. Very friendly staff and maximum cleanliness everywhere. Excellent sized bathroom, only flaw is the lack of a locker. Buffet breakfast in the hotel with a separate price, also basic but more than sufficient (shame about the lack of focaccia). It is located on Via Balbi and therefore a stone's throw from the Piazza Principe railway station and the Porto Antico; therefore very suitable for visiting the beauties of Genoa seen from the sea. The most sought-after areas of the port are easily reached: the Aquarium (well-known throughout Europe), Galata (a sea museum that is truly not to be missed for its special features such as perfect models of ancient ships and even life-size ships that can be visited as well as a whole series of news items relating to the sea), the Nazario Sauro submarine moored in the mirror in front of the Galata and open to visitors, the Neptune galleon anchored and open to visitors, protagonist of the film "Pirates" by Polanski, boats that make daily sea trips to visit the surroundings and also for whale watching. In short, it is a central point for visiting Genoa and its historic sea.
