The staff could not have been more helpful and accomodating. They made two Canadian women feel like they were coming back home after being out. Every shift we met was as good as the one before. Clean staff were courteous. Front desk were the best staff of other hotels we've stayed at.

Its really more of a motel vs a hotel. Its not the 4 star as its advertised. Right out of the 80s and bad air-conditioning. Breakfast isnt comparable to any 3 star hotel in the US. The only plus point here are the front desk staff who are helpful. Hotel desparately needs a renovation.

Perfect location, beautiful view during breakfast, room cleanliness is very good as well as the quality of bed linen etc which are signs of a 4 star hotel however the hotel certainly needs a refurb. Its 20 if not 30 years old equiment, wallpaper that is coming off or window, that don't really close...

Terrible, Danger, Dirty, and Scary

First sight, in front of Hotel, laying a line of homeless, asking for changes or something, follows you to the hotel door. As soon you walked into the hotel, it's hostel feeling, for sure the cheap, smelly, dirty, old, terrible environment. The moment you got the room key, physical actual key, you would have to think to leave. When you walk into the room, OMG, the carpet is dirtier than outside, everything is worse than a hostel in other country, the toilet is broken, and they call it 4 stars?
Immediately called front desk, and got response as it's normal in Italy, it's Italian style. Struggled for 6 hours to deal with front desk, they refused to do anything, due to the reason of it seems clean, fashion, stylish, luxury, and those homeless people were the Urban characteristics in Italy??????????

Main gripe for me was the fact that the air con was taped over above the door. The air con by the window was not working well so at night it was really hot. The room itself is in need of a refurbishment, I can appreciate the style but it’s really dated.

Great Location For Duomo

Hotel location is great, 5 minute walk to Duomo. The hotel is old fashioned but sparkling clean and very comfortable. There was no fault in the hotel at all. I would recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Milan and wants to be close the Duomo. The breakfast was good also, please note that you will have to stand at the counter to be served. There isn’t table service as you need to choose what you want from the buffet. Staff in the restaurant was great. Overall, I would stay here again. The price for the location is amazing.

The one good thing about the hotel was the proximity to Duomo and Galeria. It was an outdated, overheated and terribly noisy place since we could not turn off the heat we had to open windows, and were repeatedly disturbed throughout the night by loud garbage trucks, street sweeper and construction. If you value your sleep stay somewhere else. The rooms were large so if the hotel invested un updating it could have potential. Staff were friendly and helpful.

The hotel location is well within walking distance of the key attractions in Milan Zone 1 from the Duomo di Milano (7 mins walk) to the Castello Sforzesco (20 mins at an easy pace) and everything inbetween.

The room was tired (peeling wallpaper, faded green/brown colours) and dated but it was spotlessly clean and reflected a bygone era with some quaint features like a tv/radio control built into a wall panel - which didn't work but looked interesting.

The restaurant had been refurbished since the 1970s and the breakfast was very nice if a little limited in terms of choice.

The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. The location of the hotel is spot on so central and just 10 minutes from the Dumo area. Yes the hotel has seen better days but it’s clean and well kept and has everything you need and I quite like the ‘vintage ‘ style of hotel in Europe when I am on a short city break . Breakfast had a good selection only negative was the way it was served, you had to point to what you be wanted , which to be fair made more work for the staff. This could have been something from Covid perhaps. I would recommend this hotel and stay here again.

This was a short business trip. Not much time in the hotel and the only meal was breakfast, which was excellent. Good choice with fresh meat, cheese, fruit and veg. Evening drinks in the bar were very pleasant with a very professional and entertaining barman. My room was clean, quiet and comfortable. The decor and fittings are showing signs of age, however, so it felt a little tired. Great location, close to the Duomo.

Great central location with attentive staff

Came to Milan for the Jazz fest and loved the central location of the hotel. It's right in the thick of things and the staff was attentive and friendly every time I came in and out, no matter how late. And there were always multiple people there to help. I had a fine stay. Although there are more up-to-date hotels in the area, this one hits a perfect price point for the location. If I wanted a romantic getaway or if I wanted to impress someone, I'd probably find something else. But this is a very practical hotel for the price.
