OStellin Genova Hostel

Ich wohnte bei einem Freund in einem Privatzimmer, wir fanden an diesem Abend eine Bettwanze auf dem Nachttisch, dann wurde ich in der Nacht gebissen. Die Manager boten uns keine Rückerstattung an, sondern nur einen Zimmerwechsel für unsere zweite Nacht. Wir mussten für die Aufbewahrung unserer Sachen bezahlen, sobald wir das Hostel verließen. Wir fanden auch eine sich häutende Bettwanze im Zimmer, was bedeutet, dass es nicht nur eine gab.

Spyro’s walking tour was amazing! Went into it reluctantly seeing it was around 4 hours, but this was no issue as Spyro is so lovely and passionate about Genova it made the time fly by. He showed us some local food, history and the spots that you usually wouldn’t venture on your own looking around. Which helped change your perspective about the city. Couldn’t recommend this anymore and I say it is a great thing to do on your trip. Thank you Spyro

We arrived at OStellin genoa late, however were welcomed with open arms. We were given a tour upon arrival which I think is a really really nice touch. So personal. The buildIng confused me at first. It is very old and it does look abandoned until the second floor (hostel entrance).I think this added to the mystique. I felt as though I was living in the servants quarters of a wealthy palace. In a Good way! Bedroom was fine, I would have preferred curtains. There was a bit of noise regarding construction being done outside. I did not love this, however it is not the hostels fault. The kitchen was amazing. Free juice! I loved that! Also free milk and cereal etc. People were very nice and social. Would suit a solo traveller or a group! The sink and toilets were not in the room. Two toilets are also showers so I had to wait ten minutes to pee at one point! Staff were so friendly and helpful. They provide locks if you need one. Would recommend. A very vibrant place with vibrant people.

The tour is the best thing we have done in our 3 months of Europe travel. There is honestly no point coming to Genoa unless you do Spyro's walking tour! Don't be deterred by the long duration, he has enough energy and charisma to entertain you for hours on end. Genoa is one of our favourite city's purely because we have learnt so much about its history and culture from this tour!
