    Only downside is that the hotel rooms are looking very tired and in need of an upgrade. Our room was quite small, but on a previous occasion we had a very spacious room.

    The hotel is in a great location. 2 mins walk from The Duomo. Tram at front door, eateries everywhere. Staff are most helpful. We have stayed here previously.

    Very tiny room. And disappointing view from the window :(

    Location is very good. I was unlucky to get the room at the end of the corridor on the ground floor and the window overlooked a cluster of air conditioners. Inspite of this, I’m rather glad of my staying, because the bathroom was clean, the bed was clean and comfortable, there was air conditioning, and in summer it’s a big advantage. Nice hall with a big mirror and amazing vase

    I recently stayed at this hotel and encountered a couple of issues that could be improved. There were not enough electrical sockets in the room for charging devices. In fact, only one socket was available in the room, while the second one was located in the bathroom, which was quite inconvenient for charging smartphones or other electronics. Additionally, the bed wasn’t very comfortable, which affected my overall rest.

    I loved the excellent location, which made it easy to access nearby attractions and amenities. The staff was incredibly helpful, always going out of their way to assist with any requests or questions. Their friendly and attentive service really made the stay enjoyable and hassle-free.

    The tram stop was located at the front of the hotel. It was very noisy. We were told that all rooms faced the street and there were no other options.

    The hotel is very close to attractions, amenities, and trams. It is a great location.

    The hotel is a bit old and the room is small. It's ok if you are alone and don't intent to stay too much time in the room.

    The location can't be better. Two two-minute walk from the cathedral and the metro station. The staff was also super friendly and helpful.

    Nothing critical for a few days stay

    The location was perfect! Our Room was comfortable, but not so clean, you could notice a dust sometimes and there were some leftovers from the previous guests as we guessed(cheese in the fridge and an opened bottle of water . However everything was great and comfortable for us.

    Water pressure in the room was a bit weak but I guess that's understandable for a high floor in the old building. At my arrival I was not warned that a key to the room should be handed over on reception every time you leave the hotel, so I took off the key chain, as it was very heavy to carry around. That was not met warmly by a receptionist who was working later and from whom I found out that I have to hand over the key. Please either inform about your policy at check-in or don't be sour with your guests when they don't want to carry a massive key chain.

    Amazing location with Duomo just around the corner. Great AC in the room that helped escape August heat. Nice breakfast with very good coffee.

    Not much to be honest

    Excellent location during a short trip yo milan, the hoel is literally a few steps away from the most iconic location/emblem of milan ‘the duomo’. Plus it was clean, comfortable with great breakfast options

    A jackhammer was being used for a while. The room was very small and the toilet was almost underneath the basin in the ensuite.

    Quick weekend in the heart of Milan

    The mattress of my bed needed replacing, one side had failed resulting in sleeping on a slope. I was tired enough though that this did not adversely affect my sleep. Admittedly, I forgot to raise this to the front desk during my stay. A minor thing, but some venting for the fridge in the wardrobe would be a good idea. As it is, it heats the contents of the in-room safe which sits above.

    The hotel was very easy to find with the directions provided by the management. 3-5 minutes walk from the metro with luggage. Location was fantastic. You're basically staying at the Duomo. I had the expectation of an older building and single room being small so this was not an issue. The 14ft ceilings helped make it feel larger. Bathroom was fine and decent size, though larger framed people may struggle in the small-ish shower unit. What was a very pleasant surprise was the breakfast served each morning. Full hot (sausage, bacon, eggs) and continental options, beautiful coffee made upon request. That was unexpected and definitely exceeded expectations. If you're an early riser, take advantage as not many open local options prior to 9am on weekends.

    Room is small no place to put luggage so I used the small table but not a big problem for me. The shower is definitely small.

    Staff are helpful and professional. Centrally located walking distance to shops/ dining/ shopping, attractions. Breakfast is ok. 2 minutes walk to metro
