Albergo Astro

This hotel is ideally located in the heart of Genoa. It is close to the train station, shopping, restaurants, bus lines, etc. Located on the 5th floor, it might be challenging to reach as there is only one, small elevator. If you have a lot of luggage, you could be in trouble. The room was small, but clean and comfortable. There is a tiny fridge, tv and a communal dining room. There is 24-hour check in and the rooms lock with a regular key. The wifi worked splendidly. This is a no-frills hotel in a great location. There was a constant odor of either a sewer or perhaps garbage from Il Mercato Orientale coming through my open window which I left open for some fresh air. There was no fresh air :) I would definitely stay here again.

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 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.

You get what you pay for 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
