Locanda di Palazzo Cicala

If you are keen on 'design' hotels and want to stay centrally, the Locanda di Palazzo Cicala is your best option in Genoa. With large bedrooms and serviced apartments, the Locanda is a convenient and stylish place to stay, though the prices can be rather high for accommodation which isn't luxury standard. Room come with internet-connected computers. I found the hotel a good base for a weekend trip, and have written a detailed review.

NH Marina Hotel

If you want to stay on the rejuvenated waterfront, close to Genoa's landmark modern tourist attractions (the aquarium, sea museum, Bigo) you can't do better than the NH Marina. The hotel is large, efficient and modern and built on a wharf alongside the Porto Antico. The hotel isn't cheap, but it is a good choice if you are visiting the waterfront attractions with children. You won't find many hotels with a pirate ship moored alongside.

Il Giardino Di Albaro

Driving a car into Genoa and parking is awkward and expensive. Il Giardino di Albaro is a practical compromise for drivers, and is also a good base for travellers looking for something a bit different. The three-star hotel is located outside the city centre, in a seaside suburb near the picturesque fishing village of Boccadasse. It's a peaceful place to stay with free private parking and frequent buses into the centre of town.
