Where to Stay in Genoa

Agnello d’Oro.

$ | HOTEL | The friendly owner at Agnello d’Oro does double duty as a travel agent: he’s happy to help you with plane reservations and travel plans. Only a few of the simple, modern rooms have balconies, but a surprisingly varied Continental breakfast awaits you in the morning. Pros: 100 yards from Stazione Principe; near the Palazzo Reale. Cons: few amenities. TripAdvisor: “no complaints,” “convenient location,” “quiet.” | Rooms from: €85 | Vico delle Monachette 6, Pré | 16126 | 010/2462084 | www.hotelagnellodoro.it | 25 rooms | Breakfast.

Melia Bentley Genova.

$$ | HOTEL | Glamour has returned to Genoa with this luxury five-star hotel on the wide, tree-lined road that zig-zags its way down from the higher reaches of town down to the port. The guest rooms are bright and sleekly decorated in muted tones with a wide variety of modern amenities such as plasma TVs and some with Jacuzzi tubs. And Genoa comes to play here: the in-house “Genovese-gourmet” restaurant is frequented by local celebrities and soccer players. Pros: for top-of-the-line style and amenities, this is Genoa’s best bet. Cons: it’s a bit of a walk to the port and centro. TripAdvisor: “spacious clean room,” “very comfortable,” “service was above and beyond.” | Rooms from: €175 | Via Corsica 4, Carignano | 16128 | 010/5315111 | www.melia-hotels.com | 85 rooms, 14 suites | Breakfast.

Best Western City.

$ | HOTEL | In the heart of the city, near Via Roma, the grand shopping street, and one block from Piazza de Ferrari, which divides new Genoa from old Genoa, a bland apartment-building exterior gives way to a polished lobby and light, modern rooms. Suites, on the top floor, have spectacular views, as do many of the standard rooms on the upper floors. A choice of pillows—firm and low, or fluffy and soft—and coffeemakers in all the rooms are pleasant added touches. Pros: location can’t be beat. Cons: regular rooms are small. TripAdvisor: “Genoa gem,” “excellent accommodation,” “delicious breakfast.” | Rooms from: €170 | Via San Sebastiano 6, Portoria | 16123 | 010/584707 | Fax010/586301 | www.bwcityhotel-ge.it | 63 rooms, 3 suites | Breakfast.

Best Western Metropoli.

$ | HOTEL | This welcoming hotel is on the border of the historic district and Via Garibaldi. Rooms and bathrooms are both bright and spacious with high ceilings. The staff is more than happy to offer you local advice, especially on dining options. Breakfast is abundant and the price is reasonable. Pros: guest rooms and bathrooms are large. Cons: parking lot is a bit of a hike; can be confusing to find if you are driving. TripAdvisor: “excellent location and service,” “nice rooms,” “great for Genoa.” | Rooms from: €120 | Piazza Fontane Marose, Portoria | 16123 | 010/2468888 | www.bestwestern.it | 48 rooms | Breakfast.

Bristol Palace.

$$$ | HOTEL | The 19th-century grand hotel carefully guards its reputation for courtesy and service. Spacious guest rooms all have high ceilings and elegant wood wardrobes or headboards. Public spaces, all connected to the hotel’s
