Clerici Boutique Hotel

“Nice hotel, but maybe too warm in summer?”

I always try to choose hotels that are a little bit different from the rest, hence this hotel. Extremely happy with location - so close to everything!

I always try to choose hotels that are a little bit different from the rest, hence this hotel. Extremely happy with location - so close to everything! A nice little boutique hotel with quirky pictures on the wall. Nice room with ok bed, but had to leave the window open as it was 25 degrees in the room when we arrived and no airconditioning. The mirror in the bathroom was weird, couldn’t see clearly in it before getting in real close. Nice touch with extra toiletries in the bathroom in case you forgot your own toothbrush, razor etc. Friendly staff and a nice atmosphere. Only drawback was the room temperature - we were here in the end of march, it must be scorching in summer 🥵

“Potential, but quite a few major problems that need to be addressed.”

Really wanted to like this hotel, but my experience was just not great. First of all the location is perfect. 1 minute walk from shopping, the Duomo and La Scala but still on a very quiet, unassuming street. The decor is unique, chic and quirky and the room and bathroom was very spacious. However,… more

Really wanted to like this hotel, but my experience was just not great. First of all the location is perfect. 1 minute walk from shopping, the Duomo and La Scala but still on a very quiet, unassuming street. The decor is unique, chic and quirky and the room and bathroom was very spacious. However, like others were saying the interior of the rooms are really dark with very poor lighting. If you want some natural sunlight, you have to open the window and pull back the curtains but they also face offices where everyone can see inside your room. There are only dark velvet curtains no white white back curtains that can provide at least some privacy and sunlight. There are shutters to let some air in and some privacy but then again no sunlight. Then there is the issue with the air conditioning. It was hot and humid in Milan when I was there, but the air conditioning for the room was weak. It wasn’t central air and the unit was again next to the window. The power was extreme weak and management was aware but didn’t improve during our stay. The unit was hidden behind the window curtains. So you either had the curtains open to let what little cooling you can get, but if you wanted privacy you had to close the curtains and cut off any air reaching the rest of the room. They were nice enough to provide a fan to help circulate the air but I was still sweating all night and made sleeping uncomfortable. You could also close the window shutters to allow for air and privacy but bugs starting flying in so that really wasn’t an option either. Also the wifi was pretty much nonexistent at least on the third floor. I addressed this with management and they said would check all the floor for signal strength but no improvement during the stay. Luckily I had my cellular service but warning if you need wifi for your computer, tablet, or you just don’t have cellular service. I hope this place makes some much needed upgrades and design changes because it could be a great boutique hotel.
