Top hotels in Carignano
Melia Genova
Imposing modern hotel handily placed for exploring Genoa. Very welcoming staff who take care of your needs. Excellent breakfast provided to get you started. On the expensive side, but highly recommended.

Tower Genova Airport Hotel & Conference Center
I usually do not write reviews. But my stay here left me with a bad taste in my mouth. The hotel looks very nice from the outside and is super well located. Inside though, it has a very creepy feeling and the staff just felt off. As a young woman traveling for me is scary by itself. It did not help ...

Bristol Palace Hotel
Check in was good. Quick and efficient. Room was a bit strange. Looked directly into the internal courtyard . Layout was not ideal. Pillows a bit hard. Property is nice in a very good part of town.
