Hotel Barone is a 1-star property in the centre of Genoa, just steps from Genoa Brignole train station and the metro stop of the same name, designed for those seeking a practical, affordable base for exploring the city.
The rooms, simple but functional, are air-conditioned and equipped with a flat-screen TV with satellite channels, a safe and free WiFi; some room types have a private bathroom, while others share bathroom facilities on the floor. The property offers a common room, luggage storage, an ATM and a concierge service, useful for those arriving with tight schedules or luggage to leave in storage.
The location is one of the most appreciated features: Piazza De Ferrari, the Genoa Aquarium and Porta Soprana can all be reached on foot in just a few minutes, while the historic centre with its caruggi (narrow alleys), the museums on Via Garibaldi and the Boccadasse seafront are also easily accessible without a car. An address suited to budget-conscious travellers, couples and those who mainly get around by public transport or train.
The rooms at Hotel Barone are spread across four room types designed for different needs, from couples to small groups, all equipped with air conditioning and a flat-screen satellite TV. Sizes range from 12 to 20 square metres, and the bed layout is flexible, with the option to choose between single beds or a large double bed depending on the configuration requested at the time of booking.
The main difference between the room types concerns the bathroom facilities: only the Double Room with Private Bathroom has a full en-suite bathroom with shower, bidet and hairdryer, while the other rooms share facilities on the floor. The larger accommodations, designed for families or small groups, can host up to four people, while still maintaining simple, functional furnishings throughout the property.
A double room of 15 sq m with simple furnishings and shared bathroom facilities on the floor, featuring a shower, bidet, sink and toiletries in the en-suite bathroom area. This is the property’s base room type, with a view of the inner courtyard and the option to choose between two single beds or one large double bed at the time of booking.
At 18 sq m, this room is slightly larger than the Double/Twin Room and designed for three people, with the same shared-bathroom setup but a more flexible bed configuration, also suitable for mixed groups who prefer to combine single beds with a double.
The most spacious room in the property at 20 sq m, designed to accommodate up to four guests, ideal for small groups or families travelling together. It retains shared bathroom facilities but offers the greatest flexibility in bed configuration among all the available room types.
The only room type with a private en-suite bathroom, complete with shower, bidet and hairdryer, despite having the smallest floor area among all the rooms (12 sq m). Overlooking an inner courtyard, it comes with a wardrobe, safe and tiled flooring, designed for those who prioritise privacy over space.

The area is dense and urban, making it a perfect base for exploring the city on foot without needing to rely on a car.

Genoa-Sestri Airport is about 6 km away, while Piazza De Ferrari, the city’s main square, is less than 900 metres on foot.
For those wishing to visit the main attractions, Porta Soprana is 750 metres away and the Genoa Aquarium 1.5 km, both reachable with a pleasant walk through the historic centre.

In winter, the museums on Via Garibaldi such as Palazzo Rosso and Palazzo Doria Tursi, both within 1.2 km, offer a cultural alternative to the cold, while the Galata Museo del Mare, about 1.9 km away, tells the story of the city’s maritime history.
