“Pretty hotel in a very good location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 February 2011

I was nervous after seeing previous reviews, but The Gray turned out to be nicely presented and comfortable.

The design is great, the rooms were clean, the staff were helpful and there were some lovely little touches, like the mixed plate of chocolates and fruit we received in the evening, or the truly amazing showers (see pictures!)

For me there were two downsides - the first was that the gym is actually in a nearby related hotel and is not at all comfortable, and the second is value for money. It was nice, but I'm not sure nice enough to justify the high rates.

Overall a much better stay than you might expect from the ratings, but next time I'll still try the Spadari first!

“Well located, bad managed”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 December 2010

Nice hotel in an amazing location and nice interior design, (but not practical), the breakfast is really sad, pathetic food selection, the service at the hotel is slow, the laundry a disaster extremely expensive, and the car park a rip off.

“Wow!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 June 2010

Small but wonderful hotel with a very friendly and helpfull staff. The location is perfect, just 500 meters from Duomo cathedral and the main shops. Try the gallery room: its view on vittorio emanuelle gallery is so romantic, just perfect if you want to impress your girlfriend! Front desk agents suggested us nice restaurants and places to visit.
I will never forget my stay at the gray! :-)

THEFT of a expensive camera from room
rude unhelpful reception staff
not worth the money 500euros a night, would expect to pay 150euros max for this.
gave bad recommendations for restaurants to eat at.

We thank you for your feedback and we are sorry about any inconveniences you might have met at The Gray. Anyhow we remain little bit surprised to see that you have posted it 15 months after the stay. We have some difficulties to retrieve such an old practice without any guest detail and we would highly appreciate if you could contact the management to help us to understand and improve our services.

Furthermore, we always recommend our Restaurant Le Noir, as we know and constantly control quality we provide. Of course, we assist our guests in every single aspect of their stay and if some of them wish to reserve a dinner elsewhere, we suggest other restaurants, but we are not able to control their quality. Should you be so kind to inform us which Restaurant you are referring to, we will never suggest it anymore to our clients. Happiness of our guests is what we all are working for!

We would be delighted to have an opportunity to have You again as our guest and to make you experience the exclusive services of The Gray.
