It was a good accommodation for 4 night stay in Milan. Hotel is situated a bit far from Milan central. Overall hotel had good ambience and staffs were friendly and helpful. Our room had a direct access to garden which was a plus. Room was clean and had daily room service which was good. Breakfast was pretty basic but with a budget options I felt they were good enough.

Overall, my stay at the hotel was excellent. The affordable pricing combined with the very friendly and attentive staff made for a welcoming atmosphere. The location, just an 8-minute walk from the nearest metro station, was convenient for exploring the city. The room was clean and comfortable, and the complimentary breakfast offered decent options, which was a nice bonus. I would highly recommend this hotel to others looking for a pleasant stay in the area.

COMFORTABLE FOR A SHORT STAY IN MILAN
Arriving at night off the train from Paris involved a subway ride and shortish walk from Loreto station. When I left I took the much easier bus, direct to Milano Centrale, from just up the road.
My room was compact but efficient with a bench for my suitcase, hangers above, a work desk, fridge, free WiFi and TV.
The bed was a king single and comfortable enough for two nights. However, there was no kettle or tea & coffee in the room.
The bathroom was nicely appointed, with an excellent rain-shower and soft towels.
Breakfast came with the room and was very good. Coffees were ordered from the barista and hot and cold selections were on offer. Get in early to ensure you get some of the delicious pastries. The outdoor dining area was a pleasant surprise.
For what it was, it was more than I wanted to pay, but Milan in mid-summer is expensive.

Pros:
Staff was great and breakfast was good - lots of options. Nice area. Hotel and rooms were very clean.
Cons: We were awakened at 8am one morning by housekeepers moving furniture in the rooms just above us. When I spoke with them, they said "we're sorry, but this is the time when we have to clean." In other words, "sorry, not sorry." Cleaning is one thing, but it sounded like they were literally throwing furniture around, making as much noise as possible.
The heat didn't work... we tried to adjust the heat up to 23 or 24 C but it would not go above 22 and we didn't get the sense that there was heat coming out of the air condition unit in any event - the fan would blow all night but the air coming out was not warm.
There was nowhere in the shower to put soap or shampoo/body wash. You had to either balance it on the door frame or put it on the ground, which seemed unsanitary.

The hotel is located in a very convenient spot, just a short walk to the metro that takes you directly to the city center in under 10 minutes. The building itself is very old but nicely restored, with a charming garden at the back where breakfast is served — definitely a highlight.
On the downside, the stay felt a bit pricey, especially once the additional tourist city tax was added (in this case €6 per person, which wasn’t made very clear in advance). Rooms are quite small; we were upgraded to a larger one, but even that felt cramped, so I can only imagine how small the regular rooms might be. Fine for a one-night stop, but not ideal for a longer stay, especially with kids.
The staff were very professional and friendly, which made the experience pleasant. Parking, however, was a challenge — there’s no free option except for limited street space along the curb, which is hard to access.
Overall, a good short-stay choice if convenience matters most, but not the best value for money considering the extra costs and room sizes.

Nice size room, only minor issue I would have is that the bathroom in our room was a little small. My knees actually touch the wall when sitting on toilet. No issue there unless you’re tall like I am. Staff was pleasant, good continental breakfast with eggs, bacon, etc

A fine stay in Milan
My second stay at the hotel, in the same room 😊. The room (018) was clean, quiet, and comfortable. The free breakfast was plentiful and tasty. The staff was friendly and helpful. A (bit longer) walking distance to the major points of interest. Metro and bus stops are nearby, if public transit—instead of walking—is preferred. Highly recommended.
NOTE: The only issue (perhaps because of the room location) is a spotty wi-fi signal: the connection strength would fluctuate in strength from one moment to another and the network would quite often ‘disappear’ and the devices get disconnected (which can be a bit frustrating). This would happen mostly during daytime; at night—from about 10PM or so—the signal strength and network reliability would be fine. In the reception desk and breakfast room areas the wi-fi signal appears to be more stable.

Good location, large room, great breakfast
Bigger room than expected, very comfortable bed. No street noise to speak of. The only noise came from above. (We probably caused noise too- the chairs don't roll but scrape along the floor.) Included full breakfast with hot food and coffee are a definite plus. Only two quarrels with the room- the design of bathroom, which is elevated above the room floor by a step, could be dangerous. Hard sink is right across from bathroom entrance and a direct fall forward from tripping on the stair could result in bad injury. I actually DID trip on that stair but fell off to the side against the shower. Not badly hurt, but still not a pleasant experience. Also, the bathroom sink drain stopper was broken, so basin could not be filled. (The night desk man was VERY helpful in getting the stuck stopper back out). The staff as a whole were very friendly and helpful.
