We only had one night in Milan and with 2 adults and 2 children, we had an extremely hard time trying to find a family room - or even interconnecting rooms. Even the big chain hotels couldnt confirm that if we booked 2 rooms, they would be beside each other. With a 4 and 6 yr old, this was proving to be a real problem! When i found Hotel Trentina, i was so happy - central position, family room, breakfast included, good reviews and quick email correspondance. When we arrived, after an early train from Verona, we found major renovations happening, and the room was a normal hotel room size with a tiny double bed and two singles crammed in. There was no space for our luggage.....The shower was so small that if you were even a little 'large' you wouldnt be able to fit in it. The rooms were pretty grimy, and beds uncomfrortable, however the sheets were clean. My husband gave me 'that look' and couldnt believe i had chosen such a hotel for our last night of what was a fantastic 3 weeks in Italy. The door to the small balcony was dodgy - couldnt really lock it. The balcony was dirty and unpleasant. The rooms are certainly not somewhere you would choose to spend any time in - it is just a place to sleep. There is a park opposite which was handy for the kids, but the area is a bit dodgy - wouldnt want to walk around after dark.....So - in summary, if you need a cheap place to sleep, this fits the bill perfectly. If you want anything more, then keep looking.

Got a little lost trying to find it from Piola metro station. Felt that it was easier coming from Loreta metro station (but that was after we've located the hotel). It was less than 10 minutes by foot from either metro stops. The guys at reception are friendly and speaks good English. Told us places to visit and eat. We like the residential area with a small park diagonally opposite. There are a few eateries nearby and a vending kiosk where we bought water. Hotel next door was undergoing construction during our stay but we were out the whole day and back only after dinner.

Our room was at the front, on the same floor as the reception area. It was not noisy as the area is rather quiet. But we could hear people coming in and out of the hotel. The room was clean and adequate sized with an attached toilet that was small. The bed was two singles joined together to make a double bed. One side was firm and the other sunk all the way making it uncomfortable. However, we did not bother changing rooms. The room has a TV and the hotel has Wi-Fi Internet connection. The breakfast room is small but comfortable and breakfast selection was limited but adequate.

During our 3 days stay, we explored Milan and took the train to Lake Como which was breathtakingly beautiful.

Traveled to Milan in August and in a rush I booked a room in this hotel, if one may call it this way. Staying in Trentina almost ruined my trip, cause it was waaaaay below my expectations that I got after reading the reviews here. At first glance, as I got there from Milano Centrale, I was totally happy – the location was awesome. But my happiness quickly vanished as I got into the room where I actually was going to be living for an entire week. Something must’ve been completely wrong – Trentina was far from being the cheapest hotel in Milan, but looked like it. The room was not clean at all. I made a few steps on the floor barefoot and I strongly regretted that. The walls had stains on them. Beds were uncomfortable and narrow. Had problems with hot water in the shower (which was, by the way, extremely small) – now I see this was mentioned by other reviewers, too. Formally, the staff looked friendly, but I don’t think they cared much about the comfort of the guests. For instance, talking loud on the phone in the middle of the night was quite a common thing.
I had an impulse to move to another hotel in the beginning of my stay. However, I thought that there’s no guarantee other hotels wouldn’t be just as bad… So I stayed and tried to be as patient as possible. My advice is to avoid this hotel, if you want to have a relaxed stay in Milan.

I have no idea how can this "hotel" rate among the top 100 hotels in Milan. It would be fair for Trentina to be renamed into a hostel. I stayed in many other hotels with exactly the same prices, but I've never seen such a poor accommodation before. I strongly advice that you pay more attention to the negative reviews before you decide to book it. They do look more credible than the positive ones now when I've seen the hotel.

In the room where I stayed the walls were all covered in stains like someone was kicking all over them with dirty boots. Also, a few dead mosquitoes could be seen in a few places on the walls - not a pleasant sight I tell you. And by the way, there were plenty of live mosquitoes, too. There was no curtain on the window, and I had real hard time trying to close the wooden blinds - it felt like they would fall off if i pull just a bit harder. The furniture in the room was old. The air conditioner didn't work.

Thank god the bed linen was clean, but the bed was extremely uncomfortable. Another thing that totally spoiled the sleep was the noise. Any phone call on the reception, people going upstairs - every sound was heard through the thin door, like if there was no door at all. Also, in the neighbour building they were making renovation, so it was impossible to sleep when construction workers started working in the morning.

The shower cabin was so small, that not every person would fit inside (see photo). One of the shower door panels was falling off. But the biggest letdown was that there never was hot water! To get relatively warm water in the shower, I needed to wait for 10-15 minutes while water was pouring. And actually it didn't always work, so a couple of times I had to wash with cold water.

Coffee and croissants at the breakfast were okay, but other than that there wasn't much else to eat. If other guests ate the ham and cheese before you came - don't expect to get any yourself. Spoons and knives were definitely washed in a rush - had to wipe some soap stains with a napkin.

If I think of advantages, there were really few of them - location (within walking distance from the central station and city center), free wifi and towels being changed every day. However, with all the other features of this hotel, this is too little to rate it any higher than 1 point out of 5.
