Disappointing Experience at Moxy Milan – Would Not Recommend
I had high expectations for Moxy Milan based on the brand’s reputation for being trendy and modern, but unfortunately, my stay was extremely disappointing from start to finish.
Check-In and Service:
The front desk staff seemed disorganized and uninterested. Check-in took forever even though there was no queue. When I finally got to the counter, the receptionist barely made eye contact and gave me the wrong room type. When I pointed it out, she acted as if I was being difficult instead of trying to fix the mistake politely. Throughout my stay, I found the staff either indifferent or unavailable — every question seemed to be met with a shrug or a “we can’t help with that.”
Room Quality:
The room looked stylish in photos, but in reality, it felt cheap and poorly maintained. The furniture was scuffed, the lighting was harsh, and there was dust everywhere — clearly not cleaned properly. The bed was uncomfortable, the pillows were flat, and the air conditioning made a loud rattling noise all night. To make matters worse, the walls are paper-thin; I could hear every conversation and door slam in the hallway. It was impossible to get a good night’s sleep.
Cleanliness and Maintenance:
Housekeeping seemed minimal at best. My room was not refreshed daily — no clean towels, no trash emptied, and the bathroom wasn’t wiped down. The shower had visible mold in the corners, and the water temperature fluctuated between freezing and scalding.
Amenities and Atmosphere:
The “hip” lobby vibe felt forced — loud music blasting all day, uncomfortable seating, and dim lighting that made it hard to relax or get any work done. The bar area was chaotic and overpriced. Wi-Fi was unreliable, which made even checking emails a challenge.
Amenities:
They don't provide any amenities. Even basic phone in room wasn't provided. No water. No sleepers or toothpaste and brush.
Location and Value:
While the hotel is somewhat close to public transport, it’s not as convenient as advertised. You’ll still need to take a taxi or a long metro ride to reach central Milan. For the price, the experience was absolutely not worth it. There are plenty of other hotels in the city that offer better comfort, service, and cleanliness for the same or even lower rates.
Final Verdict:
Moxy Milan is all style and no substance. If you value good service, cleanliness, and a restful night’s sleep, I’d recommend staying elsewhere. This was easily one of the worst hotel experiences I’ve had in Europe.
