Hotel Iris

Hotel Iris is a three-star hotel at Via Gabriele Rossetti 3 in Quarto, an eastern residential district of Genoa, Liguria, near the Gaslini children's hospital. Quarto dei Mille lies along the coast between the city centre and Nervi, and is best known as the departure point of Garibaldi's Expedition of the Thousand in 1860. The area is residential and relatively quiet, with local shops and bars, and it suits families visiting patients at the Gaslini hospital, medical visitors, business travellers and budget tourists. Buses link the district with Brignole station and the centre, and the coastal railway stations at Quarto and Nervi are nearby. The hotel's role as a practical base for hospital visits is reflected in its long-stay appeal, while the Genoa old town, the Porto Antico and Aquarium are a bus or train ride to the west. Rooms are Single, Double and Deluxe, and nightly rates generally run from about EUR 65 to EUR 130. Listed amenities include a conference room, a gluten-free breakfast and Wi-Fi, so the property accommodates small meetings and guests with coeliac dietary needs, which is a thoughtful touch in a country where gluten-free provision is well developed. Sources do not confirm a spa, pool or fitness room, and dinner is usually taken at local trattorie and pizzerie. Service character is practical and family-oriented, with a business-friendly side thanks to the conference room. The telephone number is +39 010 3760703 and the website is hoteliris.it for direct enquiries. Travellers should expect a suburban setting rather than a historic one, which means quiet nights but longer journeys for sightseeing. Parking arrangements are not confirmed and should be checked in advance. The nearby coast offers walks and small beaches in summer.
