I've read several reviews where people express their horror for this hotel, but I think we need to put it in perspective. True, it ain't the Ritz. It's a budget hotel that happens to be in the very heart of Milan. (Almost across the street from Castle Sforza, minutes from The Galleria, The Duomo and La Scala, around the corner... more

We booked this hotel through our travel agent for a short stay in Milan prior to a cruise starting from Genoa. Since this is a 3-star hotel, we didnt expect much from it other than hoping that the location would compensate for it. The hotel is as expected of a 3-star hotel. Small, a simple reception area, small lift, and... more

Highly unprofessional! I too, paid via website and then once again when I was checking out they charged my credit card as well. They admitted their mistake and promised they would return me the money in few days. This was over a month ago. I’ ve been calling and calling and always the same answer: we are sorry, send us... more

Stayed here with my daughters, it is in the best location for the price paid, it is generally a very good budget hotel, the breakfast was adequate, and the rooms were clean, for a short break i would highly recommend. There was a slight difference with the price i was quoted by hotels.com when checking out but it was only... more

I stayed one night in Hotel Genius on my first night in Milan and was highly disappointed. The room when we arrived was ridiculously hot, the bathroom door was not on its hinges and the bathroom had the remnants of recent building/decorating activities. When the remote control for the air conditioner was retrieved from downstairs it didn't seem to cool... more

The hotel is in a great location. The rooms are adequate. All ok until I came to check out. I had paid on the website and then they charged my credit card as well. They claimed it was a mistake, but now 4 weeks later I am still waiting for my refund. They claim they can't refund my credit card... more

Nice to ear from you again. In short words...Your credit credit card has not been charged. You gave it to the desk and you signed the receipt. As a WIGIG client from Lastminute.com we do not have customers credit cards. Your bank still does not adhere to SEPA area agreement (like many other nationwide banks around europe) so wired transfer...

Good place to stay, recepionists can be unhelpful, except for Marco or his Mother who are excellent (they own and run the hotel), it was clean and comfortable, for 2 people it worked out cheap too. Excellent location, acceptable breackfast, and accomodating for early and late arrivals and departures. Make sure you get a good price if staying here, shop... more

I only have good memories with this hotel. It starts with the check-in, they allowed us to check-in 4 hours prior to the regular time. The staff is very friendly. Rooms are also good. If you travel in summer, you might have to ask for the remote of Air conditioner at the reception, but its free. Breakfast was also quite... more

Staying at the Genius Hotel is like visiting the home of a friend or relation. The caring and attention of the owner overcomes the current need for some improvments, to the building, now in progress. The central location is very convenient. I have stayed there twice and will do so again if I am in Milan. more

His new manager, Marco, a young experienced and dynamic entrepreneur, will convert this very well located, small size hotel, into an outstanding place to stay in Milan. An hotel we definitively will return to on our next trip to Milan ,next year, once all the works will be finished. more
