Starhotels E.c.ho.

I had such a great experience at the hotel. I would go down to the restaurant early in the morning and Melissa, Maymay and Nerisa made me feel so at home! They were all so sweet and accommodating, my breakfasts and cute macchiatos were always the highlight of my stay. I also loved my room, it was very clean, felt very modern and comfortable at the same time. The location is great because it’s easy to walk everywhere. Will definitely go back!

We enjoyed our stay here as it is super convenient and is just a short walk from Milan Centrale. Most tourist attractions in Milan are all 10-15 minutes by train which made it easy for us to explore the city with our short time here. We also would like to commend the service at the buffet breakfast! They were all friendly and hospitable, especially Melissa who made the whole dining experience so welcoming. She was very friendly and initiative which really left a better experience with this hotel. |We really recommend this hotel to all travellers!

The hotel was perfectly located for easy access to the Milano Centrale train station. The rooms were well equipped and clean. The front desk and restaurant staff were friendly. Our only concern came when a person was allowed into the hotel (not a guest) who stole the bag of one person in our group. While you should always be aware of your surroundings, there is some comfort in the thought that the staff is aware of lone people loitering inside the hotel. Obviously not the case in this situation. In the end, the thief dropped the bag and only got a credit card. We were told that there is usually a security person at night - just not this night.

The location was great - a two minute walk from the high speed train station. The staff was great checking us in and three room was great - well appointed. We were upgraded from a Junior Suite to a Suite as we were celebrating a special anniversary. We were taken care of immediately when we needed taxis etc. Very impressive. ||The mark off is for the television in the living room not working and their techs being unable to remedy this. ||They do deserve absolute thumbs up and accolades on their food - breakfasts and dinners. Even the pickiest eaters have great choices and will be pleased with there is. ||However, my entire visit was topped off with my evening in the bar having a nice quiet dinner listening to incredible jazz music. Unlike the loud techno music playing the night before, this was relaxing and the selection of dinner options on the bar menu was perfect, delicious. But the real topper was the Bartender Jose. ||He was the most professional, kind, sweet and engaging. A total gentleman. When I told him I spoke Spanish instead of Italian, we immediately had the best conversation about everything. He explained a lot about Italy and things that finally made sense. It was refreshing speaking to someone in my first/second language fluently and not struggling like I had been with so many who had been trying to speak broken English with us. ||I hope they realize what an asset they have in Jose (from Peru) and his people skills. For this reason alone if we are ever back in Milan (which I plan on), he is the main reason I/we will be booking here again.

This is a good choice if you will be travelling in or out of Milan through public transport and have luggage. So close to the train station and the rooms were very decent. A bit small but clean, updated rooms in a quiet area (even on low floors). Decent value in the context of Milan.

Excellent hotel. Close to the center within a short walk, excellent service, clean, reasonable breakfast. The staff makes an effort to meet every request, comfortable and well-equipped gym, pleasant bar for the evening, we feel safe and environmentally friendly. I have visited it quite a few times and will definitely continue to return.

We enjoyed 2 nights at this very smart, modern hotel. It's handy for the main station. There are a few nice bars/cafes nearby. Our room was very comfortable & stylish. Good quality linens and nice big towels. Efficient air-con. Decent size bathroom with good shower. Public areas are very contemporary and smart. Staff are very efficient and polite. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this hotel for a very comfortable stay in Milan.

Very well located, but this remains the only quality of a hotel which should be a bit more attentive with the guests. Just checked in, 1/2 hour later than announced, and the room still not ready. Fine, we wait. But we didn't appreciate the used teabag in the kettle as a welcome gift. No water, no frigobar or a minifridge, not a comfortable hotel at all. Not for that price. Added after the hotel’s reply: the reservation was under the name Jacopo Rubens Bestetti, my partner. There were three of us (together with our son), and we came there for the Oasis concert. I find it rather unprofessional of you to question what I wrote, as there would be no reason to make up inconveniences or shortcomings. I confirm everything, and now that you also have the name of the person who made the booking, you can easily carry out any checks you wish.

This is a very well appointed, maintained, and managed hotel. The rooms are quite comfortable and spacious. The beds are firm with nice sheets and covers. The AC system is extremely quiet with good controls. The free breakfast is a cut above typical with one of the nicest indoor and outdoor dining and bar areas. Service was excellent. My room was near the street corner of the second floor, so it was a bit noisy at night. Conveniently located near the main train station it's not in the best neighborhood but felt safe. The elevators functioned well, but the description of what was on the floors impossible to read, and there are no card readers to limit access to the floors.

Clean and modern atmosphere with a comfy vibe. Loved the pillow menu too! If you're a tourist, it's a bit far from attractions, although the train station is right next door. We purchased the breakfast buffet option and honestly it was a huge let-down. A lot of the breakfast items had run out and were not replenished, eggs had gone absolutely rancid, and minimal options overall. Staff was not helpful at all. You're better off with restaurants nearby.

for the price, it's a decent hotel. The room are small, dark, and the views are not great. the customer service is decent. The restaurant is not great, but it's not bad either. The area however, is pretty good. you're near a major shopping center and close enough to various sightseeing areas. I have nothing bad to say about this hotel, I think for the price it's a good value. Would be a good hotel to stay in for a work trip.

The convenience from Milan central station and the modern decor is amazing. The friend reception was an added plus. Had upgraded to a suite with balcony facing the station. Yes! There is a balcony in all rooms. I definitely recommend for travelers looking to utilize the trains to go to other parts of Italy. PS: free slippers, WiFi, bottle water and illy espresso machine.

If you're well traveled and know how to protect yourself from silly scammers (more specifically the ones you read about at Central Station), this is an excellent hotel to stay at if you plan on having a multi-city vacation or want to stay close to the Central Station. It is literally across the street from the station, which makes it incredibly accessible to the trains and also the metro. If you want a more touristy vacation, then consider staying elsewhere such as near the Duomo. Aside from that, the hotel itself is really safe around it. Many business travelers come here and the front desk is fluent in English. We had no issues checking in with Expedia reservations. Be sure to ask for your wireless passwords, if you are buying it or if it is included in your reservation. You will need to log on every time you return to the room and it lasts for 24 hours. The Junior Suite is a good room, but a little oddly laid out. The bathroom shower stall is also EXTREMELY tiny; my husband could barely move around let alone spin, so if you get easily claustrophobic despite being in this suite, it will be small. The rest of the bathroom is spacious and well done (well lit mirror for makeup, bidet, heated towel rack). During our second stay here, we were upgraded free of charge to the Suite. WHAT A ROOM. If you have flexibility in room types, definitely get this one. It includes a terrace that overlooks Central station. The room lets in a lot of sunlight and has a ton of living room space. Even more, the bathroom has a full tub and plenty of room. The only downside and caution is that the tub has a half swinging glass door; it looks like it is secured, but it SWINGS. Beware, as both of us nearly fell out of the tub when we leaned on it. I wish they put up signs as this is a HUGE HAZARD. The gym is almost always empty, and only contains one treadmill. The elliptical was old and very difficult to use. The biciycle works just fine. There are assorted weights and one lifting machine. Inside the gym there is a bathroom and free drinking water. It also is completely surrounded in glass and you get a view of Central Station. We had big bottles of water appear in our room during both stays, but were unsure if they were free. Only minor hiccup was our card not working a couple of times for our room. Otherwise, the housekeeping was on point and cleaned our room literally every time we left the room. We left things scattered and nothing was ever taken. Breakfast is large, and you have choices of egg/bacon/sausage links as hot food items, a bunch of fresh baked goods and salad/fruits. There were also fruit juices and bottled water. Ask a waiter for coffee if you want some. Check out is effortless, and you will need to pay daily city taxes.

What a pleasant surprise. Very conveniently located next to the train station and many great restaurants. The staff provided excellent customer service. The rooms are spacious and recently renovated. Will definitely come back!!

Our stay was really good! The hotel could not be closer from the train station, so super convenient. Our check in was super slow! That is why I can not rate it with 5 stars. Everything is new and modern, the atmosphere makes you want to stay in your room and not even leave for a little shopping trip. 40 min walk from the center - awesome! Really enjoyed my stay!

We arrived in Milan to celebrate New Years Eve 2013. Apparently the Milanese know how to party and I wanted to share a little of their excitement, The star echo hotel is fabulously located opposite the central station, which was perfect as we arrived and left by train. Couldn't be easier. Getting to the main touristic part of town - the Duomo - was a short metro trip away and again super easy. The hotel is lovely. The rooms are not as large as those as in other European cities but more than sufficient. I particularly liked the simple and stylish furnishings, but as this is Milan I would have expected nothing less. A couple of gripes. Wifi isn't included and must be purchased on a daily or hourly basis. This is a little ridiculous for a four star hotel. Breakfast was a lovely spread and the dining room very comfortable, but a key to a good continental breakfast is hot eggs. Cold eggs simply don't hit the spot. Small things I know, but it is the little things that count. Regardless, I very much enjoyed my stay and look forward to a return to Milan. Hopefully. Happy new year!

Modern, Clean, Easy, Nice Staff, walking distance to restaurants and attractions. The Hotel is across the street from the Train station. Booked here last minute and couldn't be happier, thanks again!

A bit below the bar for a four star hotel. Pros: - clean spacious rooms - proximity to train station - spacious lounge with comfortable seating Cons: - glacially slow checkin: took about a half hour waiting in the queue, where each guest checkin took up to ten minutes - broken shower: my standing shower actually accumulated water faster than it drained - unclean gym: nice, modern equipment but there's spiders hidden in the nooks and crannies - gave me a nasty surprise when I tried to do a pull down

This is a great hotel to stay in in Milan, especially if you're taking the train or coming from the airport. It's stylish, clean and comfortable, and located directly across from the Milan train station. It's easily accessible from the airports if you take an airport bus that drops you at the train station. I was a big fan of the room service menu at this hotel - the restaurant is absolutely delicious. Breakfast in the morning was included in my rate and it had a wide range of options. The wi-fi was fast, but the connection process was annoying. The hotel employees were very helpful and managed to grant all of my requests. I would definitely stay at this hotel again - the area may not have been the prettiest, but you can't beat the price, convenience of location, decor and comfort.

Had a great stay. Perfect location next to Central Station. Hotel was clean, modern, and again good location. A bit expense. Bonus: nice, clean, updated gym, small but was like having a personal home gym to yourself.
