Hotel Bel Soggiornovs?

"On one of Genoa’s main arteries, the Bel Soggiorno (“lovely stay”) suits visitors on a budget who still want a central position... Simple pastel decor, mosaic floors and friendly, helpful staff."

"Run by a gregarious German woman (who speaks English), this is a welcoming place, with a cosy lobby and breakfast room, though the rooms are a little lacking in character."
