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.

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.
