The Hostel

Student accommodation and apartments for rent in Genoa

Your home in Genoa, whatever your lifestyle. The Hostel offers accommodation for those coming to the city to study, live or work: a student residence where you can share the experience with other students, and apartments in central Genoa for those looking for more independence.

Your home in Genoa, whatever your lifestyle. 

Two ways to experience Genoa

Some people are looking for a place to share with other students, while others prefer a more independent space.

That’s why The Hostel offers two different options, both conveniently located for reaching the University, the city centre and Genova Piazza Principe station.

The Hostel Abbey

Live in the city centre. Your way.

The Hostel Abbey offers apartments for rent in central Genoa, ideal for anyone looking for more independence and the freedom to organise their days at their own pace. The property is located in the heart of the city, behind Piazza della Nunziata and just a short walk from Via Balbi, Via Garibaldi and Principe station.

Live in the city centre. Your way.

A space that fits the way you live

The Hostel was founded on the idea of creating spaces where you can feel at home even when you’re away from home, with different options to suit different needs and stages of life.


If you’re moving to Genoa to attend university, Castle lets you live in a student residence where studying and sharing are part of everyday life. If you’re looking for more independence, Abbey offers you the chance to live in an apartment in the heart of Genoa, close to the city’s main amenities and attractions. Two different options, both designed to make everyday life simple, comfortable and carefree.

Cerco alloggio

Study, live and meet new people

Moving to a new city means more than just finding somewhere to sleep. It means building new routines, meeting people and finding your own balance between study, work and free time. With The Hostel, you can choose the experience that suits you best: the shared, international atmosphere of Castle or the independence of Abbey’s apartments. Because feeling at home can mean different things. The important thing is finding the right space.
