Hotel Tirreno is a 3-star hotel in the Sturla district of Genoa, just a few metres from the seafront and the Genova Sturla railway station.
The property offers seven room types, from the most compact single accommodations to family solutions designed for four people, all with simple, contemporary furnishings, tiled floors, air conditioning and a private bathroom with hairdryer. Some rooms offer views of the Tyrrhenian Sea or the Ligurian Apennines, others an independent kitchenette in the annex connected to the main building via a short staircase. It’s a suitable address both for business travellers and for families looking for more space without moving away from the city centre.
On the ground floor, an American bar accompanies guests throughout the day, while an Italian buffet breakfast, with croissants and coffee or tea, opens the morning. All around are neighbourhood cafés and restaurants serving local dishes and pizza, and Sturla beach can be reached in just a few minutes on foot. The Genoa Aquarium and the historic centre are a few kilometres away, easy to visit by car or public transport.
Hotel Tirreno offers seven room types, from the Small Single Room designed for a single guest to the Quadruple Room able to accommodate families with children. All accommodations share a simple, contemporary style, with tiled floors, air conditioning and a private bathroom fitted with a hairdryer; most also feature a flat-screen TV and minibar.
The main differences concern the size, ranging from 9 to 21 square metres, and the bed configuration, designed to suit single, couple or multi-person stays thanks to additional sofa beds. Two rooms in the annex, the Double Room with Kitchenette and the Queen Room with Kitchenette, also offer an independent kitchen area with hob, fridge and utensils, ideal for those wanting more independence during their stay in Genoa.
The Small Single Room is Hotel Tirreno’s most compact option, designed for a single guest: 9 square metres with a single bed, balcony and views of the Ligurian Apennines. Like all rooms, it is air-conditioned and features a private bathroom with hairdryer, flat-screen TV and minibar.
With 15 square metres, the Double/Twin Room offers the flexibility to choose between a large double bed or two single beds, suiting both couples and those travelling with company. The view opens onto the Tyrrhenian Sea or the Ligurian Apennines, with a flat-screen TV and minibar completing the amenities.
Larger than the Double Room, the Triple Room measures 18 square metres and can accommodate up to three people thanks to the combination of a double bed, sofa bed and single beds configurable according to the group’s needs. Here too there’s no shortage of views over the Tyrrhenian Sea or the Ligurian Apennines.
The Quadruple Room is the largest room type in the property, with 21 square metres and capacity for four people between a double bed and sofa beds. It is also, together with the Small Single Room, the only one with a private balcony, with views of the Tyrrhenian Sea or the Ligurian Apennines.
Located in the annex and accessible only via stairs, the Double Room with Kitchenette offers 20 square metres with a large double bed and an independent kitchenette, ideal for those who want to prepare something on their own during their stay.
Similar in size to the Small Single Room but with a small double bed instead of the standard single bed, this 9-square-metre room is designed for solo travellers who still want a bit more space in bed.
The Queen Room with Kitchenette, in the annex, measures 13 square metres and features a queen bed together with a well-equipped kitchen with hob, fridge and oven, plus an independent entrance and dining area: the most complete choice for an independent stay.
Hotel Tirreno offers a good number of amenities designed to make your stay in the Sturla district practical. Parking is available on site, while free WiFi reaches the common areas and rooms, all non-smoking and air-conditioned.
On the ground floor, the American bar is the meeting point for a break or an aperitif, and breakfast can be delivered directly to the room upon request. Housekeeping is provided daily and the staff also offer room service, luggage storage and a wake-up call on request.
Rooms are equipped with a private bathroom with shower, bidet and toiletries, as well as a wardrobe or closet and tiled or marble floors. A safe, magnetic key access and CCTV cameras in common areas complete the property’s amenities.
Hotel Tirreno is located in the Sturla district, on Genoa’s eastern seafront, a residential area lively with cafés, small restaurants and venues overlooking the sea. Sturla beach is just 100 metres from the property, while the nearby Vernazzola and Boccadasse beaches, the latter famous for the colourful houses of the fishing village, can be reached in 250 metres and 700 metres on foot respectively, along a coastal path also suitable for families with children.
Those arriving by train can rely on Genova Sturla station, just 500 metres away, useful for getting to the city centre or along the riviera. Genoa-Sestri airport can be reached in about 9 km, while the De Ferrari metro stop, in the heart of Genoa, is just over 4 km away. For those getting around without a car, public transport quickly connects Sturla to the historic centre and to Genova Brignole station, about 3.2 km from the property. The Palasport and the exhibition district hosting the International Boat Show are about a 5-minute drive away.
The area is suited both to seaside stays and to urban excursions: in summer, the beaches of Sturla and Boccadasse are the reference point for those seeking the sea without giving up city amenities, while in other seasons it’s worth heading towards the historic centre to visit Palazzo Ducale, Palazzo Rosso and the Genoa Aquarium, about 4.9 km from the hotel. Walks along the coast towards Boccadasse remain pleasant all year round, thanks to the pedestrian path that runs along the rocks and small harbours of the area.
