Crowne Plaza Milan - Linate By Ihg

“Taxi distance to Linate - Nice restaurant Il Giardino”

The Crowne Plaza Linate actually is located in the San Donato area, not next door to Linate airport but 10 minutes and 20 euros by taxi. Taxi works very well at Linate.

The Crowne Plaza Linate actually is located in the San Donato area, not next door to Linate airport but 10 minutes and 20 euros by taxi. Taxi works very well at Linate. The renovated “superior” room was pretty good, although the aircon clearly struggled to bring the temperature below 20 degrees centigrade. Nice that there was a kettle to make coffee and tea. Dinner in hotel restaurant Il Giardino surprisingly good. Breakfast also fine.

I booked three rooms for my family and a Italian friend via my IHG App This week and and writing this review based on my wife’s experience as a guest and mine as a the booker and host Booking was not 100% satisfactory I tried to book two rooms one for three people and was instructed there was no availability. One arrival all of our three rooms had a extra bed which would have allowed me to book two rooms As I was remotely booking I tried to ensure that I had paid in full and requested by phone ( On my third attempt) to make a small deposit and receive a remote authentication for by email However my wife and our party were still asked for payment on arrival on the insistence of the receptionist who refused to acknowledge by authorization Are a while and my involvement the keys where given to my party Online the hotel publicized a shuttle service to the airport but on arrival we were informed that this service was no longer available My Wife and our family and friend all enjoyed burgers and chips in the Bar Regarding the accommodation my wife stated “ The rooms were comfortable but dusty in places “ I understand this is a hotel the travelers in transit to Linata but feel that things could have been better with some communication?

“Not the usual Crowne Plaza standard”

We have stayed in many Crowne Plaza hotels in our walk around the world such in the States, Europe and Asia.

We have stayed in many Crowne Plaza hotels in our walk around the world such in the States, Europe and Asia. But this hotel is unlike the usual Crowne Plaza we have associated with and quite of a let down though look new and "grand" from the outside. The hotel has a nice and big lobby with a bar and restaurant located just next to the lobby with five lifts. Our room was 1204. The room size was ok, though smaller than other Crowne Plaza ones. The room had poor lightings so quite dark. Beds were overall comfortable, with a minibar, free bottles of mineral bottles. And aircon was not from the top or wall, but emitted from the table! Now the downsides. First, the TV could not be turned on with the remote or on set switch. That's strange, although watching TV is not important to us (we didnt feedback to the reception), sometimes its good to catch some breaking news. Then the next day, we heard from our tourmates that their rooms' TVs either could not be turned on like ours or missing the remote control! Luckily we only stayed there for one night! Next, there's no usb cable charging wall socket! If you tell me its an old hotel, like the one we stayed in Switzerland, then thats fine. But this is a modern and new hotel, there's no usb cable socket! What a shame! Then we went to the reception wanting to borrow or rent, and was told they had none available! (either they really didn't have or would have lent out all available adapters) Breakfast wise. The cafe is spacious, bright and nice and must commend that the spread was reasonably wide and food were generally nice and yummy. Service staff were friendly too. Would say it's of much lower standard of the usual Crowne Plaza we know of!
