This Hotel was wonderful. The location was excellent and the staff was fantastic. It was easy to walk everywhere. The castle, cathedral, and tons of shopping. The breakfast buffet was excellent and gave us a great start in the morning. Made for a great stay in Milan.

The hotel is small and situated in a quiet street in walking distanse to the University and to the main Square / Duomo cathedral. Friendly and helpful staff. No luxury, some parts a bit worn, but all tidy and clean. I did not buy breakfast. Would definitely consider this hotel again. Good value for the money!

One night stay at Genius Hotel. Perfect location for exploring the Duomo and surrounding areas. Hotel is tucked back from the major streets. No views but quiet. Room was small but well appointed. Space for luggage was limited. Bed was comfortable. Contact with staff was limited, but they were very friendly and efficient.

My single room was small and not at all fancy, but it was clean and comfortable. The common areas and exterior for the downtown Milan location do not match the photos on this website--the real thing is actually nicer than what is pictured. The current photos must be from another location. We found the staff helpful and we loved a few of the details like free refills on sparkling water in the lobby.

The bathroom is dated and needs renovation. The sinks are blocked and the drains create a lingering smell. Otherwise everything else was great
