Wake’nBake al Terminal is a guest house in Genoa, about 1.5 km from the University and 2.2 km from the Aquarium of Genoa, with views over the mountains and the city. The property occupies a unit located entirely on the ground floor and offers air-conditioned rooms designed for both short and extended stays in the city.
The three room types available, all with an extra-large double bed, share a terrace with sea views, a desk, fridge, wardrobe and free WiFi, but differ in size and in whether the bathroom is private or shared. It’s a practical option for those looking for an affordable base close to the historic centre, without giving up outdoor space and sea views.
The location, just steps from Dinegro metro station and the Salita San Rocco and Centurione train stops, makes it easy to reach the old port, the historic centre and Genoa-Sestri Airport, about 8 km away. Nearby you’ll find pizzerias, bars and historic sites such as the Sanctuary of San Francesco da Paola and Palazzo Doria Pamphilii, making the area liveable for both tourists and those travelling for work or study.
The rooms at Wake’nBake al Terminal come in three types with a similar layout but different sizes and bathroom arrangements, all featuring an extra-large double bed, air conditioning, a desk, fridge, wardrobe and a terrace with sea views, which is the property’s real strength. The ground-floor layout makes moving to and from the common areas easy and direct.
The Double Room with Private Bathroom stands out for its larger size, 25 sqm, and for its private bathroom with a walk-in shower, ideal for those wanting more independence. The other two types, the Deluxe Double Room and the King Room, are more compact, at 15 sqm each, and share a bathroom with a walk-in shower located in the property’s common areas. All rooms include a coffee machine and bed linen, ensuring a functional stay even for those simply looking for a practical base to explore Genoa.

The nearest beaches, such as Punta Vagno, are about 4 km away, ideal for a seaside break in spring and summer.
