It´s a very nice hotel in a great location, near the main train and metro station in Milan. The staf is helpful, breakfast is good. No complains or setbacks at all.

We stayed for 2 nights in The Hotel Auriga. It is very well located just 3 minutes walk from the train/metro station which makes it very convenient for getting to different parts of the city. The room was clean and spacious, as was the bathroom, where we actually had a bath and a shower! The breakfast is excellent, juices, yoghurts, cold meats, cheeses, bread rolls, croissants, cereals, boiled eggs etc. We did find one of the gentlemen on reception a little surly - a smile wouldn't go amiss - though he did recommend an excellent restaurant round the corner. If we were going back to Milan we would stay here again.

Pros
The hotel decour is old but clean. It was probably a fantatsic hotel 40years ago.
Its great if you are transfering to another part of Italy as its a minute walk away from the central station. The breakfast was really good and there are two waitness looking after your needs.

Cons
The reception staff were ignorant when we arrived and didnt change their attitude even when they over charged for the room, they didnt even offer an apology. The wi-fi was crazy expensive.

The reception is very friendly and helpful with info and recommendations on where to eat etc (they were on the money there too) and very accommodating when I had trouble sorting out a cancelled flight issue. Breakfast was good but often the cafe was full and you needed to wait for a table to become available. The rooms are very nice with openable windows for fresh air. The bed however was quite hard as was the pillow and by my 4th night it became quite uncomfortable. The location is very close to the Central Train Station (which is also where the airport shuttles run to and from) and from the plaza in front of the station you can easily see the sign for the hotel. Theres also a metro station there. And its a short walk to Corso Buenos Aires (for affordable shopping) and a long walk or 2 - 3 metro stops to the Duomo and the Designer stores as well as bars and restaurants. All up tho a very enjoyable stay.
