A friendly base on the edge of Via XX Settembre

Tucked just off Genoa's most important shopping boulevard, Hotel Fiume is a compact city stay on Via Fiume 9r. The 26-room property sits roughly 50 meters from the start of Via XX Settembre, the artery that links the hotel directly to the historic heart of the Ligurian capital.
