The property occupies the first floor of a building on Via al Ponte Calvi and offers seven room types, from the 11 sqm Small Single Room designed for solo travellers, to the 70 sqm Family Suite with its own kitchen, including two variants of the King Room with Balcony, one with sea view and the other with city view, and a Junior Suite with bathtub. All units are air-conditioned, have an independent entrance, private bathroom and free WiFi.
Guests have access to a shared kitchen, a lounge with TV area and a luggage storage service, as well as bicycle rental to explore the historic centre. Private parking is available for a fee, and an airport shuttle to Genoa-Sestri Airport can be arranged on request. The area, among the caruggi, historic palaces and the Porto Antico, suits those looking for a practical base to explore the city on foot.
Genova Suite Art offers seven room types designed for different needs, from the solo traveller to larger groups. The Small Single Room, just 11 sqm, is the most compact option, while the Standard Double Room and the two variants of the King Room with Balcony, one with sea view and terrace and the other with city view, offer spaces between 20 and 26 sqm. The Deluxe Quadruple Room combines a double bed and a sofa bed to accommodate up to four people, the Junior Suite stands out for its bathtub and city view, while the Family Suite, the largest at 70 sqm, has its own kitchen and bunk beds for larger families.
All rooms share a private bathroom, air conditioning, flat-screen TV with streaming services and a coffee machine, elements that guarantee a practical stay regardless of the type chosen. The main differences therefore concern size, view and the presence of extra spaces such as a terrace or kitchen.
With its 26 sqm, this quadruple room combines a sofa bed and a large double bed to accommodate up to four people. The private bathroom with walk-in shower and bidet, washing machine and independent entrance make it suitable for groups and families needing more space than the property’s standard double rooms.
The most compact room designed for two people, with 20 sqm and a large double bed. It has a private bathroom with shower, bidet and hairdryer, as well as a washing machine and independent entrance, offering an essential solution compared to the property’s room types with view or terrace.
The only room to offer a bathtub in addition to a walk-in shower, the Junior Suite spans 31 sqm with city view and independent entrance. It is the option with the most privacy in the property, enhanced by a small chocolate gift for guests at check-in.
At just 11 sqm, this is the smallest room in the property, designed exclusively for solo travellers. The private bathroom with walk-in shower, bidet and independent entrance make it a practical and affordable solution compared to the other, larger room types.
The largest room type in the property, at 70 sqm with a configuration of bunk beds, sofa bed and double bed that can accommodate up to five people. It is the only room with its own kitchen equipped with hob, refrigerator and dishwasher, ideal for large families or extended stays.
This 24 sqm double room is the only one in the property with a sea view, in addition to a city view, and features a private terrace. The French double bed and private bathroom complete a setup designed for those who want to overlook the Gulf of Genoa.
Slightly larger than the sea-view room, this 26 sqm variant overlooks the rooftops of the historic centre and also features a terrace. The large double bed and private bathroom with shower make it a balanced choice between space and urban outlook.

Genova Suite Art occupies the first floor of a historic building on Via al Ponte Calvi, in the heart of the Genoese caruggi, a short walk from the Porto Antico and the pedestrian area linking the historic centre to the waterfront. This is a part of the city where old palaces, artisan shops and bars follow one another along very narrow alleys, with the Aquarium of Genoa 200 metres away and the University of Genoa about 500 metres away.
The Darsena metro station is 150 metres away, and San Giorgio station 300 metres away, convenient for reaching the rest of the city without a car. Genoa-Sestri Airport is about 5 km away, connected by a shuttle that can be arranged through the property. A few minutes’ walk away are Palazzo Bianco and Palazzo Rosso, both 250 metres away, and Palazzo Doria Tursi at 300 metres, key stops along Via Garibaldi and the UNESCO-listed Rolli palaces.
Guests staying here can easily reach Porta Soprana on foot, 850 metres away, the ancient medieval gate near Christopher Columbus’s birthplace, and Palazzo Ducale, 600 metres away, home to exhibitions and cultural events. The Spianata di Castelletto, a panoramic terrace 350 metres away, offers views over the rooftops of the historic centre. The neighbourhood is especially lively in the evening, with restaurants and bars open late into the night in the alleys near the port, and remains a convenient starting point for visiting museums, historic churches and the Ligurian coastline on freer days.
