Me and my wife stayed at the Albergo Birra hotel after our visit to Genova, and before our short trip to Cinque Terre. The Hotel is a short and simple drive from Gonova (around 20 minutes), and is ideal for a visit to the Italian riviera. The rooms are very nice - we were offered a choice between two rooms - both of which were nice - and we chose the larger one in the second floor. Although the room is really close to the main road, the room was very quite. Moreover, the room was clean and comfortable, and had everything we needed.
The staff was extremely nice, friendly and helpful. They helped us with directions to Cinque Terre, and gave us an excellent recommendation for a great local restaurant in the area.
Just few steps from the hotel, you can find a local brewery - with great bear and great food, in an affordable prices. We had a nice dinner there at our first night.
Overall, this hotel is a great value for money! I would recommend it for everyone traveling to this area.
