“Hotel Major, a family-run pensione in Genoa's historic heart, charmed me with its central location and hints of old architecture; it balances a budget-friendly approach with clean, comfortable rooms, even if the shared bathroom setup feels more suited to off-season stays. For a traveler like myself who values immersion over pristine luxury, its proximity to local life and affordability make it a worthwhile choice, despite the climb up those stairs.”
