Spent a night here in late May as part of a four-day trip to Italy. We had flown into Malpensa Airport and had taken the train, planning to then walk from Milano Centrale to the hotel. The train was unfortunately running late and finished earlier at Porto Garibaldi station- this was a 20 minute walk to the hotel, and as it was a pleasant evening we decided to walk the final distance. Once we arrived we were checked in quickly and given the card key to our room. We were located on the third floor with a view out on to an internal courtyard in the hotel. We were told at reception that we were being an upgraded room, and it certainly felt like it had recently been refurbished. It was a small room, but had a good size bed and sufficient storage space. There was a fridge provided but no tea or coffee making facilities, and a safe which we did not make use of. There was also a large wide screen TV with a wide range of local and international channels, including BBC One from the UK which surprised us. The bathroom was also compact but had a good quality shower and ample storage space for toiletries. Wi-Fi was provided, but for some reason it would not recognise the surname and room number combination needed to log in- we went to reception to resolve this, and they straight away gave us a code for 24-hour access. The hotel has a restaurant, but we instead ate out for dinner. There are a lot of restaurants and bars within walking distance, and this is quite a buzzy part of Milan. Upon returning to our room from dinner there was some noise from the internal courtyard as other guests were having drinks, but by midnight this had quietened down and we both slept well. The next morning we chose not to have breakfast in the hotel (available for 14 Euros per person) and instead decided to find somewhere near the Duomo. It was very easy to get there on the historic Tram Line 1, which has a stop very close to the hotel on Viale Tunisia. We returned a few hours later and checked out for the next part of our trip. We found the hotel a very convenient place for a night's stay in Milan, and though the room was on the small size it was fine for the short time we stayed there.

“Clean hotel”

The hotel was clean, staff was friendly and the location is walking distance to the train station and duomo. I wish the room was bigger, it was a bit small.

“Just okay”

Depends what sort of stay your here for.. was here for a city break travelling out from the station regularly. Location isn’t too far from the station but I wouldn’t want to walk it alone at night as it’s a quiet area. To get to the centre it’s about a 25 min walk or a couple of stops on the metro… more

Depends what sort of stay your here for.. was here for a city break travelling out from the station regularly. Location isn’t too far from the station but I wouldn’t want to walk it alone at night as it’s a quiet area. To get to the centre it’s about a 25 min walk or a couple of stops on the metro. Food places nearby it had a few options. Rooms were a bit dated and very basic. Not sure if I was expecting it to feel a slightly more refreshed. Minor details like no bin in the room, tv channels weren’t working, window blind was all tatty. Just a bit of attention to detail would go a long way. No plug next to the bed. And only one wall socket over by the window. Lobby area is nice and modern with A/C. Breakfast just about okay, basic hot items and basic pastry / bread. Coffee machine and proscecco. Not sure if I would stay here again depending on the type of visit.
