The rooms at B&B Genova Centrale are three double room options that share the same layout: private bathroom with shower, bidet and hairdryer, air conditioning, flat-screen TV, desk, wardrobe and coffee machine for tea and coffee. Each room is equipped with bed linen and towels and is designed for two people, with a view described in the original listing as a quiet street view.
What differentiates the three room types is mainly the size: starting from the 14 square metres of the Double Room with Private Bathroom, moving up to the 16 of the Standard Double Room, up to the 18 of the Large Double Room, the most spacious in the property. In all cases the bed is a large double, suitable for couples looking for a comfortable base to explore Genoa’s historic centre on foot.
