SERVICE NOT INCLUDED !
The Idea Hotel is neatly located close to the city centre, and its breakfast buffet is fairly decent. However, the hotel's service is virtually non-existant, for which reason I recommend you take your business elsewhere. Why? Here's why.
First of all, the electronic key cards for our room repeatedly malfunctioned. We had them changed between five and ten times during our stay at the hotel. Needless to say, this was quite frustrating when returning home after a night out.
Secondly, the personnel is downright lazy. Rude even. When for instance confronted with a malfunctioning, over-heating air-conditioning system, they refused to lift a finger and suggested we open a window instead. What the f?
Last but not least, the personnel gave us the wrong room - a much smaller version than the large one we booked. The manager then refused to refund the 80 Euros they owed us as a result of the mistake. Yet he hoped to see us again soon! Fat chance of that happening.
My ranting could go on and on but I don't see the point. Bottom line: Stay away from the Idea Hotel Corso Genova if you want value for money.

VERY small rooms, but they are clean and the bed is comfortable.
Outrageous price, nasty bathroom, unconfortable bed, crappy TV and worst orange juice you will ever get for breakfast. So sorry to have to say this, but if you can avoid this hotel just do it
Quiet location. Staff is not the friendliest but certainly helpful & efficient. Room was neat & tidy without too much amenities. Breakfast was a bit hacktic but manageable. Overall a fine place to rest for the night.
This place is a shit hole. My room was disgusting. It hasn't been painted in a long time. It hasn't been properly cleaned in a long time either. You have to pay for the wi-fi and to watch TV. There are better hotels that cheaper near by. Avoid this place!
On the plus side, the hotel was clean, well priced, and in a quiet residential neighborhood that was close to the cathedral. The minus, and it was a big one, was the size of the room. It was the smallest hotel room I have ever been in. Ever. We had to think about how to walk around obstacles like the desk chair. In the shower, I had to plan turning around so I would not knock down the soap dish. For one night it was OK. I would not be happy for longer than that.
