Guests will enter the building from a pedestrian street and an elevator takes them up to the hotel, as this space is used for offices and apartments as well. The bright green elevator and mural depicting a tree made out of musical notes sets the hotel’s unique music-themed tone. The lobby is bright and continues the theme of using bright accent colors. All of the hallways have musical notes throughout the hotel. Students from the Art Institute of Genova are responsible for some of the distinctive art elements.

The hotel is next to the small pedestrian street Via San Vincenzo, known for shops, bars, and restaurants that are trendy and fashionable. You can also get to Piazza delle Erbe, a pedestrian square, by foot. Palazzo Ducale, Cathedral of San Lorenzo, and the Genoa Aquarium are all within 15 minutes by foot. Public transportation is accessible from the Genoa Railway Station, which is also just steps away.

There’s an interesting setup here where guests can choose the room they want to stay in based on a style of music -- jazz, blues, rock, pop, or reggae. Each choice means the room will be decorated in different colors and furnishings to best suit the musical style. The bedding in all of the rooms is white to let the vibrant murals behind the beds truly stand out. Some of the rooms have multiple beds, as well as bunk beds, for large families or groups of friends, while others are geared towards couples. Some also have twin beds pushed together, which is common in Europe, and all have flat-screen TVs and free Wi-Fi. Many of the rooms even have balconies with views of the city.

The Lounge Bar is on the first floor. As with the rest of the hotel, musical elements decorate the walls. There are framed covers of Rolling Stone and even a large-scale sparkling mural of Michael Jackson. A breakfast is provided where guests get a hot drink and juice with a choice of two dishes, but this is not free. During warm weather, there’s a small terrace with artificial grass, lawn chairs, a mini trampoline, and a hot tub.
