Olympia Hotel

Olympia Hotel is on one of the main shopping roads in Genova, so all the shops are very near. Also one of the main squares (Piazza Ferrari) is on walking distance, making a very good starting point for your stay in this crazy city. The hotel is situated in a typical Italian style building, with lots of other businesses inside. On the 4^th. floor they occupy half the floor. They have 9 rooms, all very simple but sufficient. There is no airco, so be careful if you there in the summer (like we did!) and the temperature is above 30 degrees Celsius. It’s hot! The busy street is not really a problem, since a lot of the rooms are in a area that is more quiet. Ask for a room in the back and you’ll be fine. The owner Augustino and his daughter Rebecca are just wonderful; friendly and very helpful. Augustino speaks a little French and Rebecca speaks German and English.
All in all good value for money, the rooms are clean and spacious enough, the beds are good and the service more than good. Big plus: you can park the car in the garage of the shopping mall COIN opposite the hotel for no extra charge if you’re a guest of the hotel. And that’s a big plus in a city as dense and hectic as Genova! (For some reason the marker on the map for the address shows up further down the road, but it is directly opposite the COIN shopping mall)
