“Il Ciottolo's generous rooms and quiet location offer a compelling alternative to more expensive hotels, especially considering how helpful the host is. The rooms are clean, though the bathrooms could use an update, and the limited breakfast setup may not suit everyone. It's a comfortable, well-located base for exploring Genoa, and I'd certainly consider returning.”
