Hotel Boccascena is a 3-star hotel in the Foce district of Genoa, about 750 meters from Genoa Brignole railway station and a short distance from Luigi Ferraris Stadium.
The property offers air-conditioned rooms with stoneware flooring, furnished in a modern style and equipped with a desk, minibar and private bathroom with shower. The room types range from the more compact double to triple and quadruple rooms with city views, designed for families or small groups visiting Genoa’s historic centre.
Each day starts with a breakfast that includes traditional Genoese focaccia, served continental style, Italian style, buffet style and with gluten-free options. WiFi is free throughout the building, while parking, available nearby, is charged separately. Pets are welcome at no extra charge, a detail that makes the hotel a practical choice for those travelling with their dog or cat who want to stay close to connections to the city centre and the railway station.
The rooms at Hotel Boccascena are divided into several types, from the 12-square-metre Small Double to the larger 20-square-metre Superior Triple and Quadruple, designed for stays of two to five people. All accommodations share air conditioning, a flat-screen TV, minibar, wardrobe, safe and private bathroom with shower, bidet, hair dryer and toiletries, ensuring a consistent level of comfort across every category.
What sets the different options apart is mainly the size, the number and arrangement of beds and, for some superior rooms, the city view from the windows. The triple and quadruple room types, with configurations combining single beds and double beds, are well suited to families with children, while the more compact double rooms remain ideal for couples or business stays in the Foce district.
The most compact of the hotel’s rooms, with 12 square metres designed for couples’ stays. The private bathroom is equipped with a shower, bidet, hair dryer and toiletries, while the sleeping area offers air conditioning, a flat-screen TV and a minibar.
Larger than the Small Double, this 14-square-metre Superior room offers a large double bed and the same basic comforts with a few extra centimetres to move around the room. A private bathroom with shower, bidet and hair dryer complete the amenities.
Designed for three people, this Superior Triple room overlooking the city combines a single bed and a large double bed. The view over the neighbourhood’s rooftops is one of its distinguishing features compared to the double rooms on the same floor.
A second unit of the Small Double type, with the same French bed and private bathroom equipped with shower, bidet and toiletries. An essential and functional option for those seeking a compact room without giving up air conditioning.
A variant of the Superior room with a single bed, suited to solo travellers who still want the 14 square metres of space. Private bathroom with shower and toiletries, plus minibar and safe as in the other superior rooms.
Another Superior Triple room with city view, identical in bed configuration to the previous one but in a different unit of the hotel. Ideal for a small group who wants to stay just steps from Brignole station.
The largest room in the property, at 20 square metres and accommodating up to five guests thanks to three combined beds. Overlooking the city, it is the best choice for large families or small groups who want to stay together in a single room.
A further Superior unit with a large double bed, private bathroom with shower and complimentary toiletries. Same size as the other Superior rooms, with a wardrobe and safe to store luggage securely.
Hotel Boccascena offers guests a 24-hour reception, express check-in and check-out, and luggage storage useful for those arriving or departing at unusual times. Non-smoking rooms and the availability of family solutions make the property suitable for both solo travellers and small groups, while the lift and accessible upper floors make it easier to move around inside.
Every room is air-conditioned and equipped with a safe, with parquet or stoneware flooring depending on the area of the building. Each room also has a private bathroom with bathtub or shower, bidet, hair dryer and complimentary bath products, along with a refrigerator and a power outlet near the bed designed for those working while travelling.
For connectivity, the hotel offers free WiFi, a flat-screen TV and cable channels in all rooms. The in-house bar with in-room minibar rounds out the offering, while pets are welcome at no extra charge.
