Advantages: A great starting place to see Italy. Disadvantages: Forgot them as fast as I found them!
I travelled the across Italy for 4 weeks in summer 2002. Genoa is the city we flew in to, it cost me £5 to fly to Genoa on EasyJet (hard to believe I know!). The aproach by plane is stunning the airport is right on the harbour so as you fly in you see the whole city.
On arrival we caught a taxi , which was a reasonable price to the youth hostel, the city is a bus or taxi journey from the airport. The youth hostel at Genoa is probably on the highest hill in the city. For weary feet it is best to catch one of the buses up the hill, but from the top the view is breathtaking, you can see the city and the sea.
The youth hostel is very clean, quite big and very friendly, the staff here are very helpful. The nicest thing about this hostel is the chance to sit at night and watch the view as the city winds down or if you get up early ...

Advantages: Central location, clean Disadvantages: Food, rooms
We stayed at this hotel in London a little over a month ago now for two nights, we chose this hotel mainly because of the central location and because it was only a ten minuite walk from the show we had booked to go too.
Check in was very quick - About ten minuites and the staff at the reception seemed very friendly.
My first thoughts on the hotel was that it looked really clean and that it was nicely decorated and it looked modern.
I was a little dissapointed with our room as it was very small and basic, our room had a double bed, tea and coffee making facilities, a tv with satellite and a small, basic en suite bathroom with a shower.
The views from our room very very poor - A block of offices which made our room dark as they were so close.
The hotel has two bars and two resturaunts, the bars were again nicely decorated ...
I recently went on a cultural girlie trip with a friend to Paris. I was left to do all the booking. I was looking for a reasonable hotel, near a metro stop, which included breakfast. I came across the Hotel International on various travel sites and it seemed fairly highly rated so I booked us in for three nights.
LOCATION:
The hotel is located 6 Rue Auguste Barbier in the 11th Arrondissement. The nearest Metro stop is Garcourt which was a two minute walk away and it was a five minute walk to Republique which gives good links to other lines. It's not really central enough to avoid the Metro and walk to the attractions but it was located so close to a stop that it seemed ideal.
PRICE:
Prices vary depending on size of room and season. There are singles, doubles and triples available. We paid Euro254 for the whole time ...
This ideally located base for business travellers, cruise passengers and tourists eager to discover a beautiful town through the vestiges of historical monuments has a unique décor with personal touches. The recently-renovated hotel is situated a short walk from the passenger terminals of Genova Harbour and at the centre of the picturesque old town. Like the town itself, the hotel is laden with historical artifacts, from the coat of arms of the ancient owner, to the small library dedicated to books about sea voyages. The attractive hotel interior, with its marble staircase and individual rooms, has been designed to recreate the feeling of old journeys at sea. The hotel has fantastic transport links to the airport, city-centre and areas of interest: it is 20 meters from the main railway station, 15 minutes by bus from the airport and 10 minutes walk from the centre and its Aquarium, museums and universities.
