The hotel is in a very convenient and central location, with the Castello Sforzesco just nearby, yet it’s tucked away on an incredibly quiet and peaceful backstreet, which is especially nice given how central it is. The staff were very friendly and helpful throughout my stay. Everything from check-in to check-out went smoothly, and I was pleasantly surprised to receive a complimentary room upgrade.

The hotel was good. Only if you are staying for short time. The hotel is very small, no what I expected for the price that I paid. But good location and breakfast also muy normal, it was included on the rate I paid. So was ok. The hotel closes at 12 might night, very weird you have to knock the door and someone can let you in. It was very clean.

The hotel is centrally located while being situated in a quiet street just minutes from Castello Sforzesco and Cadorna metro and within 10-15 minute walking distance to Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, Teatro alla Scala, and Duomo. Wonderful staff who tries to accommodate you in any way possible. Clean, modern facilities with comfortable rooms. The breakfast buffet was decent, since it was possible to order an omelette or crêpe made on the spot, but not spectacular.

Excellent care from the front desk. Amazing location just 5-10 minute walk to the castle and The Las Supper and 10 minute walk to the stunning Milano Cathedral. Try the Risotto restaurant nearby - it’s retro style with authentic dishes.
