Hotel Genova is a 4-star property located in the Esquilino district, a two-minute walk from Roma Termini station and just a short distance from Piazza della Repubblica.
The hotel suits guests visiting Rome for leisure or business who want to move easily around the city thanks to its proximity to the metro and rail connections. The rooms, spread across Classic, Deluxe, Family, Suite and Junior Suite categories, feature parquet floors, marble bathrooms with courtesy sets and bathrobes, air conditioning, soundproofing and flat-screen TVs; some come with a fireplace, a hydromassage bathtub or city views. The Suite with hydromassage bathtub even adds a small private pool and a panoramic terrace.
Among the hotel’s amenities are the Orange Bar with cocktails and Mediterranean cuisine, the breakfast room with a buffet spread, a 24-hour reception and a concierge service for tourist information. WiFi is free throughout the building. The location, right next to Termini, makes Hotel Genova a convenient base for reaching both the main archaeological sites and the more elegant districts of the historic centre.
Hotel Genova offers several room and suite categories, all with private bathroom, air conditioning, soundproofing, flat-screen TV and minibar. Sizes range from 16 sqm for the more compact rooms, such as the Classic and Deluxe, to 40 sqm for the Suite with hydromassage bathtub, with the Family Room and Suite measuring 35 sqm.
Many rooms retain the original fireplace and a bathroom with tub, courtesy set and bathrobe. The higher categories add distinctive features: the Deluxe Double/Twin and the Junior Suite offer city views, the latter also with a private terrace in some units, while the Suite with hydromassage bathtub stands out for its private pool and panoramic terrace. The Family Room, arranged over two spaces with two bathrooms, is designed for large groups or families.
At 25 sqm, the Triple Room is among the largest in the property and offers two alternative bed configurations, chosen at the time of booking: one single bed with a large double bed, or three separate single beds, ideal for groups of friends. It features a bathtub, air conditioning, minibar and flat-screen TV, with warm-toned furnishings and a desk.
Compared to the Classic version, this Deluxe is slightly larger (22 sqm versus 16) and stands out for its city view. The period fireplace sits alongside air conditioning, satellite TV and soundproofed walls, while the private bathroom offers a bathtub, shower, bidet and courtesy set with bathrobes.
The Classic is the most compact room type in the hotel, at 16 sqm, but retains the same charm as the higher categories thanks to the fireplace and a full bathroom with tub, shower and bidet. Air conditioning, satellite TV and a minibar complete an essential yet comfortable option.
Designed for large families or small groups, the Family Room is actually a combination of two double rooms with two separate bathrooms and a single entrance, totalling 35 sqm and accommodating up to 5 people: the option with the most beds in the whole hotel.
With a view over Via Cavour, the Suite pairs the double bedroom with a spacious separate living room featuring a sofa bed, plus a fully renovated bathroom. It is the only category with an independent living area besides the Junior Suite and the Suite with hydromassage bathtub, but here the spaces are more generous.
A romantic 30 sqm mini-suite with a living area and city view; some units also have a private terrace, an exclusive detail no other room in the hotel offers. The bathroom is private and en suite.
While it shares the same size as the Classic, this Deluxe is designed for a single guest and features a large double bed. The fireplace, bathroom with shower and hairdryer, air conditioning and minibar make it a convenient choice for solo stays.
The largest suite in the hotel, at 40 sqm, stands out for its exclusive-use private pool with a view, the hydromassage bathtub and the fireplace, plus a panoramic terrace. It is the only category with its own pool, a feature that makes it unmistakable compared to all the other rooms.
