Cinque Giornate

OK breakfast, but not room for many at a time. Gotta be in line. A lot of traffic noise; cars, ambulances and trams. All day. Air conditioning did not work, it was rust and full of dust. There was dust on the bed tables and badly vacuumed on the carpet. Warning! Bedbugs!/Wall animals!

(+) The beautifully renovated hotel is situated quite close to Stazione Milano Centrale (central train station) and all the important and impressive sightseeings, to which you can go by tram and also on foot for those who love walking (e.x. Duomo, Scala di Milano, Galleria Vittorio Emanouele II, Monumento a Leonardo da Vinci, Monumento a Guiseppe Garibaldi, Parco Sempione, Castello Sforzesco, Arco della Pace, Santa Maria Delle Grazie, Fabricio Bossio Clock Tower, Bosco Verticale). Although the check-in is at 14.00, our room was fortunately ready a bit earlier in order to get rest sooner. The breakfast was more than satisfying (we loved the 4 different types of croissants, lemon pie and cake were super delicious, nice cappuccino). Last but not least, special thanks to Mr. Alan, the kindest and most helpful receptionist, who was willing to find the easiest way in order for us to visit the worthy to see districts in Milan, such as Navigli and Brera. Thank you again for your exceptional hospitality! (-) The carpet in the lobby is not necessary, especially during the summer period.

I was wary reading the reviews leading up to our stay but overall it was a pleasant experience. I found the room size adequate (you're there to sleep after all), the breakfast - though repetitive and limited - was sufficient - and our stomachs were always filled before our full days ahead. The staff, especially Angela, was friendly and helpful. The shower IS on the smaller side. But the rooms were cleaned daily and they did a great job. What is great is that it's close to many tram lines and the walk to the Duomo is closeby.
