I can wholeheartedly recommend this hotel. Modern and very clean with great service, the staff go out of their way to be helpful and are really friendly. It also has a great outdoor space for relaxing and socializing but take mosquito repellent or you will get bitten! |I booked a cheaper room and it was small but perfectly functional with a desk, wardrobe, and comfortable bed. The bathroom was great, and a decent size, too. My only criticisms of the hotel is that the wardrobe had the clothes rail very high inside and hangers that weren't removable, so I had to stand on a chair to hang my clothes (I'm 5' 8", 178cm). However the hotel did manage to also find me some extra hangers.|The other criticism is that the restaurant menu was very restricted with only two salads and two (small) mains, and a one dessert. This was due to the fact that it was August and the main chef was on holiday (according to staff). This was true of other places in Milan as many close altogether for August. |That was my mistake, going in August, which is very, very hot.|Breakfast was good. Plenty of fresh fruit, a selection of pastries, savoury foods such as eggs and meats, yoghurt, muesli etc. There was filter coffee or tea bags and you were offered a free coffee or tea of your choice after your breakfast.|The area was great, very quiet with a number of restaurants and bistros nearby, and the famous Bar Basso, unfortunately closed for holidays while I was there.|The Metro is great with most trains air-conditioned and the get to Milan centre only 15 minutes or less. The nearest Metro station to the hotel was about les than 5 minutes away.|Finally, I thought the price for my room (for 8 nights) was a little over what I thought it should be but the positives very much outweigh these minor problems I've mentioned. I would definitely book it again, or perhaps try their other hotel in Milan (Navigli).
