The hotel occupies a period building and offers simple, functional rooms, designed for those looking for a practical stay in a very central area. Room types available range from the Single Room, the most compact, to the Double Room and the Triple Room, suited to small groups or families with children. All rooms have a private bathroom, flat-screen TV and independent entrance.
Services offered include express check-in and check-out, room service, luggage storage and free WiFi throughout the property. Continental breakfast is included in the stay. Location is one of the property’s strong points: Palazzo Reale is 200 metres away, Genoa Aquarium about 700 metres, and Piazza Principe railway station just 250 metres away, convenient for those arriving by train or heading to Genoa-Sestri Airport, less than 5 km away.
Hotel Twenty Nine offers three room types designed for different needs, from the solo traveller to the family. All room types share a private bathroom with shower, toiletries and hairdryer, flat-screen TV and an independent entrance, a detail not to be taken for granted in a hotel in Genoa’s historic centre.
The Single Room is the most compact, designed for those travelling alone and looking for the essentials without giving up comfort. The Double Room offers more space and the flexibility to configure the beds, with a city view in both double rooms. The Triple Room, with a double bed and a single bed combined, is the best choice for small groups or families with a child, also thanks to the in-room safe, which is not present in the other room types.
The Single Room is the most compact room type in the property, designed for those travelling alone. It has a private bathroom with shower, complimentary toiletries and a hairdryer. The independent entrance and city view complete a practical solution for short stays in the centre of Genoa.
Larger than the Single Room, the Double Room offers 18 sqm and the flexibility to choose between a double bed or two single beds. A private bathroom with shower, toiletries and city view are included, with enough space to also accommodate a child in addition to the couple.
Designed for small groups or families, the Triple Room combines a double bed and a single bed in the same 18 sqm as the Double Room, but with capacity for three people. It is the only room type with an in-room safe, useful for those travelling with documents or valuables.
