Hotel Olympia

Hotel Olympia is a two-star budget hotel on Via XX Settembre in Genoa, Liguria, a few minutes' walk from Brignole railway station and Piazza De Ferrari. Via XX Settembre is the city's main shopping street, lined with early twentieth-century buildings, arcades and shops, and it connects the eastern rail hub at Brignole with the heart of the city, the Teatro Carlo Felice, Palazzo Ducale and the edge of the medieval old town. The location makes the hotel convenient for travellers who arrive by train and want to avoid a long transfer, and for visitors who want the shopping and cafe life of the street at the door. The hotel is a basic, economical city property rather than a design or heritage hotel, and its appeal is price and position. Rooms are Single, Double and Triple, with nightly rates generally from about EUR 55 to EUR 110, among the lowest of the central options. Wi-Fi is the amenity listed in available data; sources do not confirm a restaurant, bar, spa, pool or fitness room, and breakfast arrangements should be checked at booking. Guests usually eat in the many bars, pizzerie and trattorie around the street and in the nearby Foce and old-town districts, where focaccia, farinata and fresh seafood are staples. Service is simple and practical, suited to backpackers, couples on a budget, rail travellers and short-stay visitors. The telephone is +39 010 592538 and the website is olympiahotelgenova.com. From Brignole, regional trains run along the Riviera to Nervi, Camogli and beyond, and the Porto Antico is a pleasant walk downhill of about two kilometres through the centre. Street noise can be noticeable on a main commercial road, so travellers who sleep lightly may wish to request a room away from the street front.
