Airport Guide
Compare 5 airports near Genoa
For the majority of travelers, Cristoforo Colombo Airport (GOA) is the only gateway situated directly within the city limits of Genoa. It offers the most efficient access, making it the superior choice for those prioritizing time and local convenience. The other four airports are located in neighboring cities and serve primarily as secondary entry points. Milan Malpensa Airport (MXP), Milan Linate Airport (LIN), and Il Caravaggio International Airport (BGY) are all major hubs in the Lombardy region; while they handle a larger volume of international flights, they require a significant ground journey by train or coach to reach Genoa. Finally, Monaco Heliport (MCM) provides a highly specialized and premium link for those traveling from the Principality. Travelers seeking the lowest costs should stick to the airport-specific shuttle services, whereas those requiring the most comfort for long-distance transfers should consider pre-booking a private chauffeur service, especially when traveling from the more distant Milan-based airports.

Piazza Principe Genoa|2.16km from city center
Less than a five-minute walk from the train station, which is super convenient. It's a bit of a distance from the main tourist areas, but still walkable. For the six-person dorm, the top bunk is quite high, so it's not suitable for those afraid of heights. It seems like the accommodation offers a lot of activities. The hairdryer is conveniently located in the bathroom.FromUS$30

When we arrived, the room was already very warm. It was about 30°C outside, even at 9:00 PM, and unfortunately the air conditioning was not working. I couldn’t get it to start, so the room remained very hot during the night. The room furnishings also felt quite old-fashioned. Apart from that, the receptionist was very kind and helpful.FromUS$76

Everything about the hotel was perfect. Spacious room with a huge bathroom and impeccable cleanliness. Friendly and helpful staff. Excellent sweet breakfast. Perfect location if you want to visit the aquarium and the historic center. The only downside is that the parking lot has an entire floor dedicated to electric cars, but the charging stations weren't working. Luckily, there's one right under the hotel!FromUS$131

This Holiday Inn in Genoa truly impressed me! The rooms boast a decidedly modern design, yet are tastefully adorned with classic oil paintings, murals, and exquisite decorative touches. This instantly imbues the space with a rich artistic ambiance, making it feel like a truly aesthetic haven where contemporary style meets timeless art. Setting a high standard for service, every interaction, from check-in to room service, showcased professionalism and genuine care. The cleanliness was absolutely impeccable, resulting in a flawless and truly perfect stay. The breakfast spread was particularly impressive, offering a wide and varied selection to satisfy every palate. The hotel's location is absolutely fantastic, making getting around incredibly convenient. The only minor drawback was the slightly convoluted route to the parking garage, but this small issue absolutely pales in comparison to the overall excellence. The entire experience was flawless, and I will undoubtedly choose this hotel again on my next trip to Genoa!FromUS$116

The staff were very kind to guide me to the sightseeing spots around. There are only shampoo and body soap together, and there are few amenities such as toothbrushes, but the room is very clean, so I think it is enough for the price. I think it is very good for facilities and people, such as there is a bar in the hotel. I had a very good experience.FromUS$117

The room is small but very clean. The fat Michele at the front desk is very good. The croissants for breakfast are so delicious. You must restrain yourself from eating too many every day. The latte coffee is only given by the waiter. The coffee is also delicious.

This hotel was supposed to be a 4-star, but when I got there, they said they upgraded me to their 5-star place because of some change in plans.
So, what I'm writing about is the 5-star hotel, and I'm totally grateful for the upgrade!
The hotel, even though it was old, was super clean and had awesome services like massages and personal stuff.
My room was pretty big, the bed was clean and comfy, and breakfast was amazing.
The only issue was they said there was private parking, but they just parked my car in the lot next door and charged me 30 euros for one night until morning. The parking fee wasn't mentioned anywhere.FromUS$160

This was our second stay in Genoa; our first stay was at NH Marina. The hotel's location is very central and secure. We were lucky with parking and parked in the blue-striped section of the street directly opposite the entrance. We didn't trust leaving our keys in a nearby car park with the windows open. The breakfast and hotel staff deserve the best reviews. Cleanliness was good except for some dust in the bathroom. The bed was comfortable, and I find the price-performance ratio to be high. Thank you.FromUS$119

My stay at Hotel Bristol Palace was truly delightful. The hotel is exceptionally elegant, with stunning classic decoration that gives it a timeless charm. Every corner feels thoughtfully designed and beautifully maintained.
The staff were highly professional—polite, attentive, and genuinely insightful in offering recommendations and local information, which made the experience even more enjoyable.
The location is excellent, making it easy to explore the city, and the overall cleanliness was impeccable throughout the stay. The buffet breakfast was another highlight, offering a great variety and quality to start the day right.
A refined and comfortable stay—I would absolutely return.FromUS$251

Brignole - XX Settembre Genoa|0.18km from city center
The old five-star room facilities are quietly old, but still very clean and tidy. Breakfast is OK. The pre-authorization at the front desk is not very used to Chinese tourists. It is obvious that Trip.com has been paid in full. When it comes to the pre-authorization of the same amount, I don't know what the intention is. However, the credit card bill the next month after leaving the store was not included, but the heart was always thinking, a bit annoying. Genoa is still a city with a unique style, and the St. George Cross flag makes people have the illusion of being in England, which is very fun.FromUS$143
