We felt very comfortable with the manager serving the buffet breakfast because it is so much more hygienic. Moreover he was eager for us to try all the cakes, the local Genovese pizza, the toasts.....everything of high quality served. We could also park our car-van as they have a lot of parking space. The hotel is in front of a restaurant famous for his beer and we had a lovely dinner. Arriving with the ferry in Genoa late in the evening, we couldn't find so many hotels with parking, convenient, quiet and already on the way to Milan highway. This was a surprise, better than the description and we'll keep it in consideration for the future and for a couple of days The hotel and the brewery have their own charming history. Plus the surroundings have also much to offer in history and walks in nature....

Nothing really!

The host was absolutely amazing, really helpful chap. The hotel is clean and really close to the main highway (autostrada) so its great for a pitstop on your way to Cinque Terre or beyond. The breakfast offered here was amazing with fresh focaccia, cheese and ham plus some local made cakes. The pub/trattoria in front of the hotel was one of the best we've been to in Italy with really amazing local beer "Busalla Birra", good food and amazing staff. The trattoria looked like its a local favourite. Our host at albergo birra even got us a 10% discount at the trattoria. Although we only stayed for one night, we will definitely remember this place.

The only negative I would mention is that the room didn't have a kettle, but the host was gracious enough to get us hot water from the coffee machine.

Hotel shows its age, but staff are certainly doing their best to make guest's stay as comfortable as possible. Comfortable beds, free parking and an excellent staff attitude made our stay very good and we will certainly be back. Located just several hundred meters from the highway.

Trucks' noise. Again, owner cannot do nothing about this. We were lucky to have room on the other side of the road, thus noise didn't disturb our peaceful sleep.

A cute, vibrant little hotel right next to the highway, perfect for an overnight stay in transit. It has everything you need—towels, a hairdryer, and toiletries. Everything is clean, tidy, and comfortable. The staff is very friendly. Breakfast is quite good, with a choice between a savory or sweet option. Local markets offer great deals on Italian products.

Enrico in reception was fantastic and sorted out everything for us so quickly. The room was tidy and traditional Italien and very clean. The recommendation to eat at the brewery restaurant just across from the hotel was ideal for our short stay. Super close to the motorway got the trip home but out of busy Genoa. The lady who served breakfast was also so nice and friendly

The ambience was suggestive, near the highway exit Busalla, perfect for dinner and lunch. All the staff is professional and quickly to solve all problem. If you like beer, you have to try all of your choices.

You should pay attention if you have to exit out of the hotel with your car.

Excellent breakfast - we had to leave early but the staff got up and made us an excellent meal that we could take with us. Hotel is adjacent to a local brewery and restaurant - massive choice of beers and excellent food to go with it.

Nothing to not like

Clean, calm, quiet, well situated close to the highway, Albergo Birra has a very friendly and helpful staff and offers a nice courtyard for parking with with a small brewery and its restaurant.

we accommodated just 1 night, after arrival with the ferry from Palermo in Genua in the evening. 1 night recovering before making the rest of the journey home to Germany. for this it was the perfect accommodation. 25min from harbour and directly at the highway exit. we had our dog with us (30kg) which was no problem for them. a jut strange is a petroleum factory very close by, where a huge flame was burning all day long at the top of a big chimney. For real vacation we would choose another place. but for our case it was more than ok.

the city close by with petroleum factory

Despite being close to the motorway A7 (which can be reached really quickly, but not heard), the view is nice and the atmosphere is lovely. We were pleasantly surprised to find locally brewed beer on tap in the bar on the premises. Both the owner of the albergo and the brewer were very friendly, very child-friendly and went out of their way to make our one-night stay really pleasant.

We didn’t have our baby monitor handy so couldn’t go to the bar for a beer together (but we were allowed to take a beer to the room). There are a few stairs and the bar played some music until midnight perhaps, which was audible but not loud (we didn’t mind).
