Good location and the rooms are fine for short stays, however the customer service by one receptionist was quite poor and plainly offensive. Upon check out, we were accused of not paying for drinks in the mini bar, which was incorrect as they had not been touched. When I challenged the receptionist to check the room at that point to...

In the very center of Milan, steps from the Piazza Cairoli and Cairoli Metro station. Great value - terrific, friendly, multi-lingual staff and a good breakfast. Excellant price value! More

We booked ourselves in this basic but comfy hotel only for one night when we visited Milan. As my rating states this hotel is average. No luxuries whatsoever and no first class customer service. However, it is a good choice if you look for a simple, basic and central hotel. Our room was spacious and clean. Deco was dated with... More

The hotel is located on a small street walking distance from Cadorna train station and the Castello. Not much is happening in the area though. The hotel is small, and the beds are squeaky and uncomfortable. The TV is 14inches small and the wireless would never work on the Iphone. To be fair, the staff at reception were very welcoming...

The location of the hotel is good, as many remarks on this site notice. And that is a good thing about the hotel. It is actually the best thing to say about it. At arrival, the reception lady was courteous and friendly. Unfortunately the hotel has other people staffing the reception, and friendliness and servicemindedness are not two of their... More

The hotel is run by the Ferreira family. They are very nice people and their service is excellent. It is a small hotel, rooms are what you expect for the category and are clean and functional. The breakfast menu is ample. The location is ideal: very central but in a quiet side street. Highly recommended. More

Rooms are fine clean and tidy , the breakfast I have to admit was very good for continental and for a city centre hotel the price is right . Staff are very friendly and helpful , however the only reason... More

Compared to the other hotels we stayed in over our trip, we found the Genius Hotel being our favourite hotel. We enjoyed this hotel because it offered all... More

Stayed in this hotel while visiting friends, in Italy. Rooms are adequate, and what you'd expect for the price you pay. The location is excellent, and definitely the best asset the hotel has. However, service was apathetic at best, and might be better described as rude. I visit hotels in Ireland on a regualr basis, (with work) and I'm used... More
