Hotel Genius is exactly what you want: a small family hotel in the heart of Milan, with a decent price - very cheap compared to the average available there, and close to all the important central sites, shopping and cultural events. it is 100 m from the Cairoli metro station - the red line which takes you directly to the Fieramilano RHO and City - which is also convenient if you are there for a convention. Now when you are in Milan you don't want to sleep, right? Because if you do, this is not the hotel you need. I found that the only drawback was the noise - and not coming from the outsite, the hotel is situated in a very small and quite street - but from the inside the hotel: you can hear every step, every whisper, the water running in the next room, everything. Now if you are up late partying and then leaving early for the shopping you wouldn't be bothered by all that. Definetely not recommanded for a family with small children.
