Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was simply fantastic! The rooms were modern, clean, and spacious, offering more than meets the eye in the pictures. The service was exceptional, with staff who were friendly, fluent in English, and always helpful. The location was incredible, allowing easy exploration of Milan on foot and convenient access to the main attractions. The dining experience was delightful, offering a spread of fresh produce and barista-made coffee. Overall, a wonderful choice for a memorable stay.
The hotel is in the fabulous Duomo area, just moments away from high-end fashion, fine dining, and cultural experiences. The rooms, although a bit warm due to their balcony facing the street, were clean, well-equipped, and of a perfect size. The service was outstanding, with the staff being not only warm and welcoming but going above and beyond to help, such as tracking down lost belongings. The location score is high, being incredibly close to iconic landmarks like the Duomo and Gallaria mall. Dining options were varied, from hot and cold foods to barista-made coffee, although some felt the variety was a bit limited. The facilities were top-notch, offering everything needed for a comfortable stay.
My stay at the hotel was lovely. The rooms were quite spacious, beautifully designed, and clean, with a modern artistic outlook and a balcony overlooking a tiny courtyard, ensuring a peaceful environment without any outside noise. The service was excellent overall, with particularly friendly and helpful staff. The location was perfect, right next to the Duomo and near everything one would love to experience in Milano. The dining experience, while offering good options, could have been more varied. Overall, a great choice in terms of value for money.
The hotel offers very modern rooms that may not suit everyone's taste, but they are functional. The rooms can feel cramped during peak morning hours. The temperature tends to be too warm for comfort, although not everyone faced the same issue.
I found this hotel to have some ups and downs. The rooms were okay, but it was quite hot without air conditioning, making it hard to sleep. I was surprised by the lack of natural light in the rooms and the tired appearance. On the positive side, the staff were wonderful and provided excellent suggestions for activities. The location was superb for exploring the city.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were very quiet and soundproof, perfect for a good night's sleep, but lacked some basic amenities like body lotion and hair conditioner. The industrial-style design with rusty steel accents in the bathroom added a unique touch.
