Hotel Sempione

Close to Milan train station. The room were quite noisy. You could hear everything that your neighbours do and from the street as well. Decent breakfast though quite simple.

Great location, we walked everywhere and never used the subway.

However, when we got to the hotel, I suspect we encountered the same guy others have been talking about. We received no info at all at check-in and had to look up all the info about breakfast, room location and important times. I felt like if I had asked about that I would have gotten yelled at, so questions had to wait until other staff was available.

The other staff however was really nice and kind and gladly answered questions.

Room was okay, the beds maybe a bit too hard. Overall a good option.

The man at the front desk was incredibly helpful and friendly. And the breakfast was delicious and complementary! It's super close to both the train station and a metro stop that takes you directly to the Duomo.

However, the room was very very tiny and I could not get the AC to lower in temperature so I woke up sweating.

It's a great hotel if you're just going to be sleeping there and you don't run hot in your sleep.

I was looking at a budget hotel for a weekend in Milan. Hotel Sempione came well recommended on booking. Com.

The hotel is clean, though the rooms are very small, the photos make them look a lot larger. We walked past one room whilst being cleaned & that was even smaller.

The area isn't what I call extremely noisy, but we heard street noise late at night, couples arguing, dog barking etc. The location seemed a bit run down IMHO. A lot of walls with graffiti, not many shops. The metro station Republica, is 3 minutes walk away.

We didn't use the bar nor the breakfast facility, but from what I saw the bar had no windows, just didn't have any ambiance.

The bathroom OK, tho I dislike shower in baths, because of the slip hazard & had a couple of moments getting out. The shower doors, which bi fold, awkward to use & the first time soaked the floor. There is no kettle or refreshments in the room, but there is a fridge.

Bed satisfactory, but took me a couple of nights to get comfortable, the air conditioning, no instructions, so wasn't absolutely sure if working perfectly, as couldn’t get room really cool.

Summary it's a hotel, if you working on a budget, then would suit your requirements, but don't expect much, it's the bare minimum for the price, if you have a bigger budget, then elsewhere would probably suit you better.
