Tilo is a guest house in Genoa, on Via XX Settembre, about 800 metres from Porta Soprana and a short walk from Genoa Brignole station. The property has a garden, common lounge, terrace and free WiFi throughout, and is entirely allergy-free.
The seven available rooms, all with air conditioning and private bathroom, range from more compact double rooms to spacious quadruple rooms with a kitchenette, some featuring a hot tub or city views. The Quadruple Room with Terrace is the only one with access to the garden and outdoor jacuzzi, reserved for its guests. Every room includes bed linen, towels, a flat-screen TV with satellite channels and an electric kettle.
The location, rated 9.5 by guests, allows the Aquarium of Genoa, the University of Genoa and Piazza De Ferrari to be reached on foot, while Genoa-Sestri Airport is connected via a paid shuttle organised by the property. A practical choice for those visiting the old town who want to get around without a car.
The seven room types at Tilo share air conditioning, a private bathroom with toiletries and bathrobes, a flat-screen TV with streaming services and soundproofed walls, plus bed linen and towels always included. The Deluxe Double Room, the most compact at 20 sqm, is designed for two people and overlooks the city, while the other six room types, all quadruple or family rooms from 50 to 75 sqm, offer larger spaces with additional sofa beds and kitchens equipped with a hob, refrigerator and, in some cases, a dishwasher.
What makes the difference are the distinctive details: the Quadruple Room with Terrace is the only one with a pool, barbecue and private garden for exclusive use, while the two Superior Quadruple Room variants differ in bed layout, with configurations for two or four sleeping spots. All rooms with a kitchen have a private entrance, an advantage for those seeking greater independence during their stay in the city.
The most compact of Tilo’s rooms, designed for a couple: private bathroom with shower, bidet and bathrobes, minibar and city views. A private entrance and soundproofed walls complete an essential yet complete solution.

Compared to the Superior Family Room, the same size but with a bathtub and an extra-large double bed instead of a standard double, for two more guests’ worth of night-time comfort.
