Hotel Cairoli

Hotel Cairoli is a three-star hotel at Via Cairoli 14/4 in Genoa, Liguria, housed in Palazzo Lomellini, a 16th-century Palazzo dei Rolli. The Rolli palaces are the grand private residences of Genoa's Renaissance and Baroque merchant aristocracy, many of them inscribed by UNESCO as the Strade Nuove and Palazzi dei Rolli system, and staying in one gives the hotel a historical identity unusual at this price level. Via Cairoli runs from the heart of the historic centre toward Via Balbi and the Principe district, and the Porto Antico, with its Aquarium and the Galata Museo del Mare area, is about 100 m away, so the waterfront, Palazzo Ducale, Via Garibaldi and the cathedral are all reachable on foot. Rooms come in a wide spread of types: Single, Comfort, Premium Quality Double, Family Room for three, a Junior Suite for four and an Apartment, which suits solo travellers, couples and families alike. Nightly rates generally run from about EUR 75 to EUR 160. Breakfast is part of the offer, and a solarium is listed among the amenities, giving guests a place to take the sun above the city rooftops. Sources do not confirm an on-site restaurant, pool or spa, so dinner is typically taken in the nearby lanes and along the old harbour, where trattorie serve trofie al pesto, focaccia and fresh seafood. Service is that of a mid-range family-friendly city hotel: practical, central and informal, with contact available on +39 010 2461454 or through hotelcairoligenova.com. The location is well suited to first-time visitors who want to walk everywhere, and also to those catching trains at Principe, which is a short stroll or bus ride away. Visitors should expect the lively, sometimes noisy character of the old town, so a quiet-side room is worth requesting when booking.
