Bigo Guest House is a guest house in the historic centre of Genoa, 200 metres from the heart of the city and a short distance from Palazzo Ducale, Palazzo Rosso and Galleria di Palazzo Bianco.
The property, spread across the fifth floor of a period building on Via Turati, offers three room types, all air-conditioned and furnished with a desk, coffee machine, fridge, safe and TV; each has a private bathroom with bidet, with sheets and towels provided. The rooms enjoy views over the city and surrounding monuments, a detail particularly appreciated by first-time visitors to Genoa.
The location is among the most frequently mentioned strengths: the Genoa Aquarium, the University and Piazza San Lorenzo are within a few minutes’ walk, while Genoa-Sestri Airport is about 11 km away. Couples in particular have rewarded the location, rated 9.9 for a romantic stay. A convenient address for those who want to move around on foot among the caruggi, museums and traditional restaurants of the historic centre, without giving up essential comforts and attentive service.
Bigo Guest House offers three types of double room, all air-conditioned and equipped with a private bathroom with shower, bidet, hairdryer and toiletries. Each room is furnished with a TV, tea and coffee making facilities, a seating area, a wardrobe and city views, a distinctive feature shared throughout the property thanks to its elevated position on the fifth floor of the building.
The main differences concern size and capacity: the Superior and the Double Room with External Private Bathroom reach 25 m², while the Deluxe is more compact at 19 m². The latter is designed for two people, as is the Superior, while the room with the external bathroom can accommodate up to four guests thanks to the additional sofa bed, making it the most versatile choice for families or small groups who want to share the same space.
The largest of the standard double rooms, offering 25 m² with a separate seating area, wardrobe and city views. The private bathroom includes a shower, bidet, hairdryer and toiletries, ideal for those seeking extra space without giving up the view over the surrounding historic palaces.
A more compact version compared to the Superior, at 19 m² with the same essential amenities: air conditioning, tea and coffee making facilities, wardrobe and city views. A cosier but equally functional solution for couples’ stays in the heart of the historic centre.
The only room type designed for up to four guests, thanks to the additional sofa bed next to the double bed. Despite the name, the bathroom is still reserved exclusively for the room’s occupants, complete with shower, bidet and hairdryer: the most suitable choice for families or groups of friends.
Bigo Guest House offers free WiFi throughout the property and rooms with air conditioning, a safe and allergy-free options. Daily housekeeping, private check-in and check-out, and luggage storage make the stay practical for those arriving in Genoa with heavy luggage or unusual schedules.

For those travelling by electric car, a dedicated charging station is available. The property is entirely non-smoking and has a lift to reach the upper floors, a useful detail given that it is a period building located on the fifth floor.
Bigo Guest House is located in the historic centre of Genoa, among the caruggi of Via Turati, a stone’s throw from Piazza San Lorenzo and the Renaissance palaces that characterise this part of the old town.

Guests staying here can spend their days visiting the museums of Via Garibaldi, such as Palazzo Rosso and Palazzo Bianco, or climb up to Spianata Castelletto for a panoramic view over the port. In summer, the beaches of Boccadasse and Vernazzola, about 4 km away, offer a seaside break after strolling through the historic centre, while in every season Porto Antico and Piazza De Ferrari remain the city’s evening meeting point.
