Due to some cheap airlines, orio al serio became primary destination and the NH hotel Orio al serio is located ideally for early morning flight travelers. The hotel it self is neat!! from the check-in till the check-out its full f worthy experience. This hotel runs a lot of offers, like sleep and fly (you may like to check on their website as the offers get updated from time to time) which really allows to stay in cheap with the same level of service. Few good things I would like to mention: its among only few hotels who offers breakfast buffet even for early morning travelers. The orio center is just right next to it. Great place for shopping and dining too. From the hotel the airport is pretty near by. Though some other reviewers notified about the "crossing busy road", but if you are taking an early flight, traffic won't be there to make you wait or scare. The staffs are good. excellent ambiance and the room quality is superb.

Excellent location for overnight stay before early flight - just in front of the airport. Might be tricky to walk to the hotel - as there is a highway just between terminal and hotel, you should go with a loop and going through underground tunnel - follow signs for shopping mall Orio and the hotel is just next to it.

Very walkable distance from airport but must walk IN BUSY ROAD part of the way and dark tunnel (scary at night/early morning). Cab ride is expensive. For the number of people who make this dangerous walk daily, it is inexcusable for the hotel not to provide a shuttle. This is the only hotel we could actually see from the airport front door; it is right across the street. If you are young and fit, make the walk. If you are elderly, physically challenged, or have a lot of luggage, you must hire a cab--due to the highway between the airport and hotel, the walking path to the hotel (not a direct shot) is probably close to a mile in distance.
The hotel itself is modern, clean, and spacious. We upgraded for 20Euros which gave us wifi, minibar, and junior suite. The large room was gorgeous. Given that wifi would have cost an additional 10Euros anyhow, this was a worthwhile upgrade.
Hotel restaurant was fantastic. We arrived at hotel around 7 pm, shopped at the large mall directily adjacent to hotel for a couple of hours (open until 10 pm on a Thursday night) and had a delicious dinner at the hotel restaurant at 10 pm (open until 11 pm). Food, wine, dessert, menu options were excellent!
For an airport hotel, this was one of the best we have used. It was nice to arrive in the evening and still have time to settle in, do some last minute shopping, and still get a fantastic meal late into the evening without having to chase all over the place.
My only reason for not giving an excellent rating across the board is that I feel it is the duty of this hotel to provide a safe way for patrons to access the property. There are signs all the way along the path from the airport to the hotel directing you to their establishment; they obviously view this as an acceptable means of arrival. It is definitely not.

Stayed here as we were catching the 06.15 Ryanair flight to Malaga. Receptionist must be fed up with people asking why no aiport shuttle. Walk not too bad using underpass but not very practical if pouring with rain! rooms very comfortable and having Orio shopping centre next door, very convenient for shopping & eating.
