Albergo Caffaro

Albergo Caffaro is a long-established budget hotel at Via Caffaro 3/14 in the Centro Storico area of Genoa, Liguria, Italy. It has operated for more than 70 years and has been under new management since September 2022, so it combines a traditional Genoese guesthouse history with recent refreshed ownership. Via Caffaro runs close to Piazza Principe and the Via Balbi district at the western edge of the old city, within reach of Principe railway station and the metro, and a walk through the lanes leads to the cathedral of San Lorenzo, Via Garibaldi's palaces and the Old Port. The surrounding district is dense and lively, typical of Genoa's historic quarters, where tall buildings and narrow streets create shade in summer. Listed rates are about EUR 55-100 per night. Room types are Double Room, Single Room and Triple Room, which makes the hotel flexible for solo visitors, couples and small groups of friends or families. Listed amenities include free wifi, air conditioning, heating, breakfast and an HD TV. Air conditioning and heating mean the rooms are usable in the hot Ligurian summer and the damp, cool winter, which is not always the case in older budget buildings. Breakfast is included in the amenities list, though visitors should confirm what is served and whether it is part of the rate. The available data lists no spa, pool, fitness area or restaurant, so meals other than breakfast are taken at nearby trattorie, focaccerie and bars, where Genoese dishes such as pesto, farinata and fried seafood are common. The service character is simple and practical, suited to independent travellers who want a central base at a low price. The hotel can be reached on +39 010 2472362 and has a website at albergocaffaro.it. As with most central addresses, taxis may not reach the door, and luggage may need to be carried a short distance over uneven paving.
