Best Western Hotel Genio

Best Western Hotel Genio is a mid-range hotel at Corso Vittorio Emanuele II 47 in the Porta Nuova area of Turin, Piedmont, Italy. It stands a short walk from Porta Nuova station, about 0.2 km away, and roughly 1.1 km in a straight line from Piazza Castello. Corso Vittorio Emanuele II is a broad, tree-lined avenue running from the station towards the Po river, lined with late nineteenth-century buildings and served by trams and buses, so the hotel offers a practical position for rail travellers and for visitors who want to reach the main squares on foot in about fifteen minutes. The hotel belongs to the Best Western chain and has the dependable, mid-size city-hotel character of the brand, with double rooms and step-free access listed among its amenities. The listing does not itemise a restaurant, spa or pool, so guests should confirm breakfast and other services directly with the hotel; the avenue and the neighbouring San Salvario and Centro districts offer many cafes, restaurants and bars for evening meals and aperitivo. The service style is straightforward and suited to business travellers, short city breaks and visitors using Turin as a base for day trips by train to Milan, Genoa or the Langhe wine hills. Indicative rates are about 80 to 150 euros per night and vary with the season and with events such as fairs and festivals, so live prices should be checked before booking. The proximity to Porta Nuova also helps travellers arriving from Turin airport by bus or train, as well as those departing early on regional services. The location is a good compromise between price and access, placing guests near the Egyptian Museum, Via Roma and Piazza San Carlo without paying historic-centre premiums.
