The hotel is a very good three-star option.
We had a relatively spacious room, and both the toilet and shower were spotlessly clean.
The bed was quite comfortable, especially for a three-star hotel.

We encountered a minor issue during our stay, and the staff responded promptly and did their best to resolve it. Although the issue couldn’t be fully fixed, they were sincerely apologetic and made every effort to make up for it.

The hotel’s location is excellent. The only downside is the lack of a large grocery store nearby.

Overall, we were really happy with our stay and definitely plan to return.

The location is probably the best that you will get in Milano. It is close to everything: the Cadorna train station is just a 10 minute walk, same for Duomo, Castello Sforzesco, Basilica di Santa Maria delle Grazie. The room is very small but it is ok. However, there is no fridge, the wifi does not connect on the 4th floor (it works perfectly everywhere else for some reason), the safe (although exists) is not fixed and can be easily taken away. The bathroom is really tiny, and it may be uncomfortable to stand in the shower.

Very nice hotel located very close to metro station and market. Had a short stay for business and was very satisfied. Very nice breakfast as well.

The location of hotel is perfect. It is located at Cairoli metro station. Easy to access either from Malpenza airport or Linate airport. after Cairoli station (exit via Dante) just 3 minutes walking to the hotel. its a quiet road, but its quite safe . walking distance to Duomo, shopping street is just around the corner. good value of money. Room is quite spacious, clean, Bed is quite comfortable. Staffs -Cristian and Claudio who help us very friendly and patients to answer our questions and requests. If I ever come to Milan again, I think I will choose to stay here again. highly recommend

I will say that our stay here overall was very good. The rooms have been recently renovated with a very nice TV and interesting wall mounted "fridge" for cooling a few items (water, wine, etc). The bathroom is also well-equipped, but shower may seem small for some. The beds and pillows were comfortable and window with an electronic shade. The only real downside would be soundproofing. Cars and people walking by or on the main street woke me a few times - and I am a sound sleeper. The breakfast was very good - don't miss the by order for omelet or specialty coffee drinks like cappuccino. There are a lot of choices but a modest size. There are a lot of main attractions within walking distance and a lot of great restaurant choices as well. The staff is very friendly - a true standout of the stay. Thanks.

The best part of this hotel is the location. Close proximity to Duomo area. It is also a 9 minute walk to Milano Cadorna station, that has a 37 minute express train to Malpensa Airport.

The rooms are really small, especially the single room. It's as small as the hotel rooms I stayed in in Japan, and that's saying a lot. It was fine for me as a solo tourist that didn't spend much time in my hotel anyway.

Service was good. The breakfast is your typical continental breakfast with hard boiled eggs, sliced ham/turkey, pastries, and fruits. They have a water refill dispenser in the lobby, which is really helpful for travelers.

The room was nice and I would’ve given it a four or five stars… however, my AirPods got stolen from my backpack where I had stashed them, which means they went through my bag. I can track them through my phone and they continue to come and go from the hotel, confirming that they have been stolen by one of the staff. I reported it to the hotel and they did nothing to rectify the situation. I continue to see them moving every day to and from the hotel weeks after my stay. I am looking to file a case of theft.
