Hotel Suisse is a 2-star hotel located on the third floor of a historic 1897 building in the centre of Genoa, 650 metres from Genoa Brignole station.
The property is aimed at those looking for a practical and affordable base for exploring the historic centre on foot: from the lobby you reach a common lounge with a minibar, sofas and armchairs where guests can relax after a day of sightseeing. The rooms, available in several types, are equipped with a flat-screen TV, and most have a private bathroom, while some share facilities with other rooms on the floor.
The location is one of the most frequently mentioned strengths by guests, with a score of 9.2 for its proximity to restaurants, bars and attractions such as the Genoa Aquarium, Porta Soprana and Piazza De Ferrari. Couples in particular appreciate the central location, rated 9.3 for a stay for two. The lively surrounding neighbourhood, full of venues, makes Hotel Suisse a convenient choice for those travelling without a car.
Hotel Suisse offers four room types designed for different needs, from couples travelling together to small groups of friends. All rooms are equipped with a flat-screen TV, while the bathroom setup varies: in most cases it is private, but the Double Room with Shared Bathroom offers a more affordable option with facilities shared on the floor.
Sizes range from 15 sqm in the most compact room to 23 sqm in the Triple Room and the Junior Suite, the latter designed for those wanting more space thanks to a sleeping area separated from the living area with a sofa bed. Some rooms feature air conditioning and a particular view, elements that set the superior rooms apart from the basic types. Overall, the range covers both essential and more comfortable stays well, maintaining a value-for-money ratio consistent with the hotel’s category.
The Double Room is the most compact room type in the property, with 17 sqm designed for two people. It has a private bathroom and a flat-screen TV, and is the simplest, most straightforward option for those looking for a functional room in the heart of Genoa without giving up the privacy of an en-suite bathroom.
Larger than the Double Room, the Triple Room offers 23 sqm and a combination of a single bed with a large double bed, ideal for a group of three or a family with a child. It is furnished with a minibar, flat-screen TV and en-suite bathroom, a detail that sets it apart from rooms with shared facilities.
The Junior Suite is the only room type with a living area separated from the bedroom, suitable for groups of four. In addition to the large double bed, it offers an extra sofa bed in the living area, air conditioning and a view that the other rooms don’t have, making it the most spacious and versatile choice in the hotel.
At 15 sqm, this is the smallest room in the property and the only one with a shared bathroom on the floor, an option designed for those looking for the most affordable rate. Still equipped with a flat-screen TV, it remains a practical choice for short stays in the city centre.
Hotel Suisse offers a range of amenities focused on the practicality of an urban stay. Parking is available in a garage, convenient for those arriving by car in a centre where parking is often difficult, while free WiFi is available throughout the property. Pets are welcome, with a possible surcharge to be confirmed at the time of booking.
General services include luggage storage, lockers, daily housekeeping and laundry and ironing services, useful for longer stays. The building has a lift to reach the upper floors and air conditioning in the common areas, as well as a shared lounge with vending machines for snacks and drinks.
The rooms are equipped with a flat-screen TV and internet connection, while the bathrooms have a bathtub or shower, bidet and toiletries with towels. The property is entirely non-smoking, a detail appreciated by those looking for well-kept environments.
