Old Town Guest House is a guest house in the heart of Genoa’s historic centre, about 300 metres from Palazzo Rosso and the Palazzo Bianco Gallery, and 400 metres from Palazzo Ducale.
The property occupies the fourth floor of a historic building with no lift and offers three room types, all with flat-screen TV, soundproofing and bed linen and towels included. The Triple Room has a private bathroom, while the two Standard Double Rooms share a bathroom. Each room is designed for those seeking an essential yet clean stay, in a location that guests reward with a 9.7 score.
Italian breakfast is served every morning and free WiFi is available throughout the property, which is entirely allergy-free and non-smoking.

Old Town Guest House offers three room types, housed within a historic building in the centre of Genoa. All share flat-screen TV, soundproofed walls, bed linen and towels provided, as well as shared facilities such as a washing machine and dryer available to guests.

The two Standard Double Rooms, more compact at about 13 sqm, instead share a bathroom with shower and bidet and additionally offer a wardrobe, walk-in closet, electric kettle and dryer, making them suitable for couples looking for an affordable option right in the historic centre.

Old Town Guest House is located in the heart of Genoa’s caruggi, the maze of medieval alleys that make up the largest historic centre in Europe. The area is a blend of noble palaces, ancient churches and small venues that keep the streets lively at every hour of the day, with the property housed on the fourth floor of a historic building with no lift.
Walking distances are minimal: Palazzo Rosso and the Palazzo Bianco Gallery are about 300 metres away, Palazzo Ducale 400 metres away and the Genoa Aquarium less than 500 metres away. The De Ferrari metro stop and San Giorgio station are both about 300 metres away, useful for those wanting to move quickly towards the old port or Principe railway station. Genoa-Sestri Airport is about 5-11 km away, reachable in a few minutes by taxi or airport shuttle.
Those staying here can spend their days exploring the museums of Strada Nuova, such as Palazzo Doria Tursi and Palazzo Rosso, or reach Piazza De Ferrari and Piazza San Lorenzo with its namesake cathedral in a few minutes. In summer, the beaches of Boccadasse and Sturla, about 4 km away, offer an informal seaside break, while in every season the caruggi remain perfect for evening strolls among traditional taverns such as C’Era una Volta and Tripperia la Casana, both just steps from the property’s entrance.
