8/10 Very good

The hotel is centrally located while being situated in a quiet street just minutes from Castello Sforzesco and Cadorna metro and within 10-15 minute walking distance to Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, Teatro alla Scala, and Duomo. Wonderful staff who tries to accommodate you in any way possible. Clean, modern facilities with comfortable rooms. The breakfast buffet was decent, since it was possible to order an omelette or crêpe made on the spot, but not spectacular.

Excellent care from the front desk. Amazing location just 5-10 minute walk to the castle and The Las Supper and 10 minute walk to the stunning Milano Cathedral. Try the Risotto restaurant nearby - it’s retro style with authentic dishes.

They let us check in early morning as soon as we arrived which was extremely nice and helpful. Could not have asked for anything more being we were tired and sleepy after a long flight. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Thank you so much Genius Hotel. Highly recommended and would stay again.
