What guests think
At So&Leo Guest House, travelers praise the central location by the old port and aquarium, the exceptionally helpful host Simona, and clean, spacious, quiet rooms that feel modern and comfortable despite being in an older, apartment-style building.
Guests like the shared kitchenette with coffee and the clear pre-arrival guidance for finding and accessing the ninth-floor unit, with occasional early check-in and luggage storage accommodated. A few mention the port-area surroundings feel rough, and a couple reported noisy or ineffective air conditioning; one stay was affected by a temporary elevator outage. Overall, expect a friendly, well-run base for exploring Genoa on foot.

This property is located in the wharf/old town. When you get out of the building you will be across the aquarium. Walkable to many tourist places. Plenty of restaurants around. Our room was very clean. The coffee machine is in a common living room shared with 3 other rooms. Simona our host is amazing- she’s like a long lost cousin welcoming you in her home. Wish I could have stayed longer. Highly recommend!

Simona is a wonderful host. Guest house was very clean, well kept with good facilities right in the heart of the port area in Genoa. Her help with our parking, where to eat and what to visit was all brilliant. She was very kind even though we arrived later than we had expected and made us feel very special and welcome. Would definitely use So & Leo's again.

A fantastic host with a lovely apartment. Prior to arrival, received all necessary information by whatsapp. We were really pleased by the decor and feel of the common area and there is a kitchenette with tea and coffee available. The bedroom was very spacious and comfortable, excellent pillows! The bathroom is an accessible wet room style. In and around the area the shops, restaurants and attractions are easily reached on foot. Parking in the port garage was 21eur overnight.

Dans un premier temps, il importe de dire que le So&Leo se trouve au 9e étage d’un immeuble commercial en rénovation. Au moment de notre séjour l’ascenseur a été en panne une journée complète. Bien que Simona la propriétaire nous accueille chaleureusement, un deuxième irritant se présente avec la climatisation défaillante dans notre suite. Un appareil portatif a été mis à disposition mais, ce dernier faisait plus de bruit que de bien. Nous avons dormi avec des bouchons dans un chambre à 28 degrés à l'ombre comme la chanson de Jean-François Maurice.

Wonderful hotel! My husband and I stayed at So & Leo's for two nights. The room was beautifully appointed and spacious. Adjoining bathroom had an excellent shower, plenty of towels and supplies. Coffee and biscuits available in the common area. Our hostess, Siminoa (So) was so gracious, friendly and fun. She allowed us to check-in early and to store our bags on the afternoon of our last day. The guest house is centrally located across from the old harbor, with easy access to restaurants, outdoor cafes, & shops. The heart of the old city is but steps away. Highly, highly recommend.

La chambre est immense et très luxueuse et située à côté du centre de genes et près du port . Quant au parking Simona nous a indiqué un grand parking couvert situé pas loin avec lequel on peut bénéficier de réduction.

Simone is amazing! She’s very kind, welcoming, and a lovely soul. She’s like your old friend you haven’t seen in years. She waited for us even when we come a bit later than the usual check in time. The room is spacious, clean, and tastefully decorated. Perfect for your base in Genova. The location is very central. 4mins from Metro and close to the water. You can walk everywhere in Genova old town from here. She also gives the best recommendations for restaurants nearby.

Though not in the prettiest neighborhood -- Genova is a typical port city and that part of town has a certain roughness to it -- its location is very convenient as it's both near the aquarium and public transport and a taxi stand to get to the train station or the airport or elsewhere but also within walkable distance to the historic city center and its many restaurants, shops, and rich cultural offerings. The guest house is basically an apartment located in a nondescript building but the rooms themselves are pleasant and spacious, and very clean and well appointed. And the local hostess was most helpful and generous. I stayed there a week in October 2025.

The location was perfectly located right in the city & close to many places for eating, getting a drink, shopping or just walking the city and exploring all the charm of Genoa! Simona was the sweetest and so helpful with offering great sites to see & places to eat/drink. Very accommodating and eased all our worries with getting to the city from the airport & finding the guest room. Hoping to return for another visit very soon!!

Location
Central location by the old port and aquarium, with restaurants, sights, and public transport a short walk away; also convenient for the cruise port. A few noted the immediate port area can feel a bit rough, though rooms remain quiet.

Perfect location to the cruise port. Easy to find with the pictures that were sent via text. The room was clean and comfortable. Would definitely recommend to someone else. The town was charming.

The was the cutest little place to stay for our overnight before boarding a cruise ship. The location was perfectly located right in the city & close to many places for eating, getting a drink, shopping or just walking the city and exploring all the charm of Genoa! Simona was the sweetest and so helpful with offering great sites to see & places to eat/drink. Very accommodating and eased all our worries with getting to the city from the airport & finding the guest room. Hoping to return for another visit very soon!!

Simona made check in really easy to organise and gave us loads of tips about where to eat and what to see, as well as answering all our questions about how to get around Genoa and along the coast. She was so friendly and helpful. Great location for the old port and old town, but still quiet in the room.

Though not in the prettiest neighborhood -- Genova is a typical port city and that part of town has a certain roughness to it -- its location is very convenient as it's both near the aquarium and public transport and a taxi stand to get to the train station or the airport or elsewhere but also within walkable distance to the historic city center and its many restaurants, shops, and rich cultural offerings. The guest house is basically an apartment located in a nondescript building but the rooms themselves are pleasant and spacious, and very clean and well appointed. And the local hostess was most helpful and generous. I stayed there a week in October 2025.

Wonderful hotel! My husband and I stayed at So & Leo's for two nights. The room was beautifully appointed and spacious. Adjoining bathroom had an excellent shower, plenty of towels and supplies. Coffee and biscuits available in the common area. Our hostess, Siminoa (So) was so gracious, friendly and fun. She allowed us to check-in early and to store our bags on the afternoon of our last day. The guest house is centrally located across from the old harbor, with easy access to restaurants, outdoor cafes, & shops. The heart of the old city is but steps away. Highly, highly recommend.

This property is located in the wharf/old town. When you get out of the building you will be across the aquarium. Walkable to many tourist places. Plenty of restaurants around. Our room was very clean. The coffee machine is in a common living room shared with 3 other rooms. Simona our host is amazing- she’s like a long lost cousin welcoming you in her home. Wish I could have stayed longer. Highly recommend!

A fantastic host with a lovely apartment. Prior to arrival, received all necessary information by whatsapp. We were really pleased by the decor and feel of the common area and there is a kitchenette with tea and coffee available. The bedroom was very spacious and comfortable, excellent pillows! The bathroom is an accessible wet room style. In and around the area the shops, restaurants and attractions are easily reached on foot. Parking in the port garage was 21eur overnight.

Great communication before- with pictures- and during, if there were any questions. Simona hasn’t missed anything, and is a peach. Note also the location is perfect for someone new to the city, who plans to walk the old town. Added plus is that both the taxis and hop on/hop off bus stop are directly in front of the building (because of the Aquarium).
