“nice business hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 June 2010

This hotel is convenient if you have a car. Anyhow taxis have a station in front of the hotel. Parking in the hotel lot can be very expensive. The hotel looks modern outside and baroque inside. Rooms are nice, maybe the bathrooms need some renovation but are in general ok.
Pay TV is available in the room with no restrictions except for adult contents. I haven't tried the restaurant but the breakfast is imperial !

“Old Building and style”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 May 2010

Room: Old fashion, antique look to it

Bathroom: Spacious but with the half glass coverage

Restaurant and bar present

Located in area that we did not explore. Traveled with a tour group. No free wifi, cost is 10 euros for 60 minutes. Business center present but charges.

A/C present but weak, bed was decent but nothing special. Not modern at all. Nice service, traditional style

“Only good for certain business travelers”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 May 2010

Hi, Folks !!

If you are frequenting the business park park behind the hotel and have no interest in trying Milanese cuisine/culture, this hotel will please you....the hotel is a 3-minute walk from this hotel...Otherwise, STAY AWAY FROM THIS HOTEL !!!!!

This hotel is far from the metro stops. You need to take a bus or a taxi to the nearest metro stop. It is also far, far away from restaurants, which is a shame. The taxi ride to the Duomo or Navigli is about 20 Euroes.

One of the greatest pleasures of Milan is to go to a bar/restaurant, before 9 PM, and enjoy drinks...and their free tapas-like bar; this is a wonderful custom. But there are no restaurants within walking distance of this hotel...unless you're a marathon runner. :)

If you are a business traveler, these are the advantages of this hotel:

1. fast laundry service
2. large rooms (even larger than many of the hotel rooms in NYC)
3. large bathroom (not the typical, tiny bathrooms)
4. HDTV
5. Clean
6. Great breakfast buffet
7. Business center

Disadvantages:
1. If you want to go somewhere after 9 PM, there are no nearby taxis. Buses only run every 15 minutes until midnight. You must stand outside the hotel grounds to catch a bus or a taxi. Not a problem on a beautiful spring day...but not suggested when it's raining/lightning or a hot, summer day.

If you are a shopper, recommend the Hotel Fenice on Corse Buenos Aires. The metro is less than a hundred feet from the hotel. The breakfast is a traditional European breakfast, which is quite filling. It is near a telephone shop where you can easily obtain a cell phone or a SIM card...stores that are cheaper than the ones around the Duomo, and restaurants. The Hotel Fenice is also on the same block as UNES, a shopping market. If you're like us and want snacks or sandwiches before you sleep, you can easily buy yummy things at this grocery store.

“Good Business Hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 April 2010

Stayed here on a business trip in Milan. The hotel was a good location for our needs.

Pros:
Clean
Large Rooms
Cabs easy to get
Nice breakfast (typical Italy, pastries, meats etc.) (breakfast was included)

Cons:
Location - 10-20euro cab ride to downtown. Depending on your needs this location may not be great. Is not close to the metro. Hotel reccomended cabs to get around (other option was a bus to the metro). Also kinda far from the airport
Pricey internet (22euro for 24 hours).

Overall a good business hotel.

“Nice”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 July 2008

Stayed with partner, who was on business trip. It is a nice hotel, clean and friendly. It is a typical hotel for business people, still ok! Taxi's to the centre were no problem. Breakfast, as commented by other people, is typical italian, which was fine by me, cause I was having big lunches. Very nice gin tonics....
