“Idea Corso Genova is an adequate sleeping factory”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 January 2012

Hotel Idea Corso Genova is an adequate sleeping factory with around 90 rooms in a residential area between Milano centre and the Darsena canal district. At Darsena you find dozens of cafés and restaurants. San Ambrogio is at 4 and the Duomo is at 12 minute walking distance.

Rooms are OK but far from spacious. Windows can be opened and rooms have air-conditioning. Beds are OK with furniture adapted to the very small room. Top floor rooms at street-side offer a nice view of the city and the Duomo. Patio-side rooms lack the view but are without street noise. Blankets are hardly adequate when you want to sleep with an open window on a cold January night.

Internet in the room is charged an outrageous 12 Euro a day. Good shower however the bathroom is rather small. The hotel is clean but definitely has had its best days. The cafeteria is very busy during breakfast, expect to queue-up for a table. Buffet style breakfast is OK and breakfast service is adequate and efficient. When you ask for an espresso or cappuccino at breakfast these are made to order.

The hotel has smoking and non-smoking floors. The elevators are very small, 3 person max. Corridors and elevator smell of cigarettes. Staffs were friendly and helpful. We were given a black and white A4 printed map of the city centre. The hotel can arrange transport to Linate airport for Euro 35. A taxi is less than Euro 25.

With Euro 80 per night for 2 including breakfast, the Idea Corso Genova was value for money. I would recommend it to all who seek a no-nonsense accommodation not far from Milano centre.

“Just for a sleep..”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 January 2012

Nothing special, just a small city hotel placed near the center of Milan. Small rooms and bed ,quite crowded on weekends but at least it is just a 15mins walk to the Duomo and the center of Milan.
The breakfast buffet was fairly good and the personnel did their best to help as much as they could.

“Staff was very helpful - but that is all”

Spent 2 nights there and can't say i'm happy with the hotel. Rooms are extremely small, dirty carpets and blankets, tobacco smell in the corridors and they don't have free wifi! even in the lobby bar! lan connection in my room was not free as well! i didn't expect such hotels to exist in cities like Milano. yes and location was ok too, not only staff.

Room Tip: not sure if there are good rooms

“Pay for things you don't have.”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 December 2011

people found this review helpful

I have been in hundreds of hotels and don't take the time to come on tripadvisor and complain, this is only my second review! However, when checking into this hotel the man was rather arrogant and unhelpful, from the first minute. And then the woman was the same when we were checking out. We were forced to pay a €10 fee for a movie we watched, but we never even turned on the TV once? €1 or €1000 is not relevant, I just don't like being robbed! Three staff members here are incredibily rude...
Other info: The location is ok, nothing special. The breakfast is perfect - 100%. The rooms are tiny. The bed has only one blanket which is impossible to wash everyday. The room was not clean, echoes when you talk and you can listen to every person talking in other rooms. Corridors smell of cigarettes. The white shower tiles were half brown! I had allergies from the moment I walked into the room, and two days later im on antibiotics for a heavy chest infection.

The amount of people who complain about rubbish on tripadvisor is ridiculous and have too much time on their heands. But I felt it was necessary and the need to post this.
Regards, and enjoy Milano - what a beautiful city!

“Excellent staff, room great”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 November 2011 via mobile

I originally confirmed the Idea Hotel at centrale, however upon checking in they told me they were overbooked and I had to go to this Idea hotel at Genova instead.

I am glad I did coz the staff were more professional than those at centrale station ( the staff at centrale station were very rude !) The staff at this idea hotel knew we were upset about the change in hotel and they were nice enough to upgrade me to a superior room for the same price. They even gave me complimentary Internet access for an hour...nice gesture .

Breakfast was great. Room was clean. Only cons about this hotel is the location. Though it's 20mins walk to duomo, it's quite difficult to find a decent restaurant nearby.

However we were glad to have stayed here.
