Glam Time is a guest house in Genoa, located on Via XX Settembre just a few steps from Porta Soprana and Palazzo Ducale. The property offers a concierge service and a terrace available to guests, in an area well connected to the historic centre and Genova Brignole station.
The rooms, all air-conditioned and soundproofed, enjoy views over the city and are equipped with a desk, flat-screen TV, safe and coffee machine in every unit. Some room types feature a balcony or private terrace, while sizes range from 32 to 57 square metres, suiting both couples and small groups.
The central location is one of the most appreciated features, with a score of 9.6 for location and particular recognition from couples, who rated it 9.8. The Aquarium of Genoa, Punta Vagno Beach and Genova Brignole station are all reachable on foot or within a few minutes, making Glam Time a practical base for exploring the city and its surroundings.
The rooms at Glam Time are divided into three types designed for different needs, from couples visiting the city to small groups looking for more space. All room types share air conditioning, soundproofing, city views, a desk and a coffee machine, features that ensure a practical stay even during the hottest seasons or at the busiest times in the area.
The range starts with the King Deluxe Room, the most compact with a private bathroom, moves on to the Queen Room, slightly larger but with a shared bathroom and bathtub, and continues to the Luxury Quadruple Room, the most spacious and the only one with a private terrace overlooking the city, designed for families or groups of friends travelling together. Each room is furnished with a wardrobe, bed linen and a bathroom amenity set.
At 32 sqm, this is the most compact of the three room types, but it’s the only one that combines a private bathroom with shower and city views in an air-conditioned, soundproofed setting. Equipped with a desk, safe and coffee machine, it’s the best choice for those seeking convenience without giving up the privacy of an ensuite bathroom.
Larger than the King Deluxe at 38 sqm, this room is distinguished by its shared bathroom with bathtub and bidet, ideal for those who don’t need an ensuite bathroom but appreciate extra space. City views, air conditioning and soundproofing complete an environment designed for relaxation.
The most spacious room type, at 57 sqm and accommodating up to 4 people, is the only one with a private terrace overlooking the city, as well as a private bathroom with shower. Designed for families or small groups, it offers the space needed for longer stays without sacrificing the panoramic view.
Glam Time offers a range of services designed to make a stay in central Genoa practical. The shared terrace and outdoor furniture provide guests with an outdoor space, while the concierge service and private check-in/check-out ensure personalised hospitality. Luggage storage is useful for guests who want to make the most of the hours before or after their stay.
On the security side, the property has a safe, key access, exterior CCTV and smoke and security alarms, and is entirely non-smoking. General comforts include heating, air conditioning and soundproofing, all useful for ensuring a comfortable environment in every season.
Every room is equipped with a flat-screen TV, streaming services such as Netflix and an internet connection, while a coffee machine and tea kettle are available in all units. An electric vehicle charging station is also available for guests arriving by car.

The area is full of bars and restaurants: McDonald’s and the Zeffirino restaurant are just 20-50 metres away, while Malta Caffè Bar is 150 metres away, handy for a quick breakfast before heading out.
