“Worst hotel experience ever. Period.”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 February 2012

On a roadtrip trough Italy this was our first stop in Milano. The hotel seemed very good for a very reasonable price, but it was a little bit different.
On arrival it took forever to check in. The staff behind the desk did not look very skilled. Checking in took 15 minutes, and there was already a 15 minute wait because of a couple checking in before us. Due to this long procedure, there was almost always a line of at least 15 minutes at the desk, and therefore it was not very inviting to go there if you had a problem (only for the big problems). When we checked in, there was one couple getting back in the lobby complaining that their room still was dirty.
I've read that the hotel was an old Holiday Inn hotel, and that was something you could see. It was a very bad maintained high class hotel, with dirty or loose carpets, good but dented furnishing, etc etc. The only thing positive was that the air-co worked very, very good.
The site said they had a shuttle that drove to the metro. Not only did the shuttle not ride on time, it didn't ride at all during our stay. They told us to wait, but it didn't show up. The walk is 10 minutes, but if you do not have a shuttle you shouldn't put a sign up saying so.
We parked our car outside of the hotel. This was a stupid mistake, because the first night our car got broken into (smashed window). This was the moment when we could need some help, but they seemed like they didn't care. Even getting a garbage bag seemed to much effort to help us. Parking costed us a 10 euro per night more, but in that neighbourhood it seems a good choice.
The service was poor, they falsely informed us about the shuttle and wouldn't help us with a room key card that didn't work half the time, this is a worthless hotel. I would advice you not to go there. I would've gladly stayed at a friendly hostel.

“Excellent value for money”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 January 2012

A pleasant establishment with a very decent price in a city which is otherwise not so approachable if you are looking for quality accommodation.
We (a family with one child) stayed there for two nights and quite enjoyed the hotel, so much so as to recommend it to other travellers.
A possible aspect for improvement is the breakfast arrangement, which results in the variety of food staying sometimes too limited for too long when the breakfast room is not even necessarily at its fullest.

“This Hotel becomes derelict”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 January 2012

We arrvied earlier (3h) then the usually checkin time and the room (nbr 003) was still ready.
The first Plus-Point for the Hotel.

After entering the Room, here the FIRST Impression:

Pros:
- clean
- tidy

Cons:
- A real cover for the Sofa-bed was missing (winter season)
- TV Remote was missing
- Broken mattress (See Pics)
- Sofa bed - broken slatted bed base (See Pics)

This Hotel have been may be clean an comfortable some years before but i guess it becomes more and more derelict.

After the first Night, here my SECOND Impression:

Pro:
(none additional)

Cons:
- A bit noisy (because of the Train)
- Noisy air conditioning
- Room Nbr 003 becomes cold in winter, because there is a unheated Storeroom vis-a-vis
- One of the big negative Points was the Kitchen Staff.
-> Unfriendly
-> Inefficient
-> Close the Buffet Room 35min before!!!

“horible”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 January 2012

I was in december 2011 at this hotel, i don't recomand it!!!
Let's start:
1. The heat is not functionable in the rooms, i change 3 rooms and i don't have succes. The manager tell me: "sleep whit bath door open because is a radiator working there".
2. In the bathroom at shower pieces were brought rusty and full of limestone!
3. Chamber walls were dirty, as well as carpet.
4. Breakfast was very poor, if you wakeup earlier you find a little food, cofee is horible!!!
5. When we check out, on 5 in the morning, I have not found anyone at the reception. Later came a man from the hotel very sleepy.
6. The location is far from city centre! a line of train passes in front of hotel
7. On tv was just italian channels and if you want wach a movie you must pay!
8. The mini bar was empty!
9. Take 81 from the principal street to central station, then take the metro to city center!

Room Tip: ask for a room with windows in the courtyard!!!

“good value for money”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 December 2011

We stayed here in August 2011 for four nights. Compared to the price we paid (around 40 €/night), the hotel was a good find. It was clean and modern and breakfast was included in price. However, the hotel also had some defects... I did not like much the breakfast due to few reasons. Firstly, it was always so crowded and all the fresh food was immediately gone once brought in (such as croissants and fruit). At the reception the service was ok. The hotel is located quite far from center. However, there's a bus that brings you in 10 minutes to metro station. Overall, I'm satisfied with my stay considering the price we paid.
