This place is relatively cheap for Milan but I think you still get less than what you pay for.

There was no hot water in the shared bathroom even though we were the first to have showers in the morning. The bathroom was also in a pretty bad state, wet towels on the ground and generally pretty gross.

We were told breakfast was between 8 and 10 but at 8 we had to try and find someone to give us breakfast and let us check out. Finally managed to wake the guy up at 8.30 by pushing the buzzer on the front door.

I don't expect much from breakfast in cheap Italian hotels but the cappucino was made from instant powder (and not much of it).

There was no air con so you had to open the windows and try and sleep with traffic noise and mosquitos although this is quite a common problem in cheap Italian hotels.

Conclusion: You may be able to save 20 euros by staying here but you would have to be pretty desperate.

Well, the location of the hotel is good. Near the centre, a metro station, trams, etc. The area around the hotel is quite nice too. On the sixth floor though, and maybe a little tricky to find at first!

Our room wasn't that great. It was opposite the owners' kitchen, therefore we could hear the TV all night until about midnight. The room smelled very smokey as if it hadn't been aired out. While the bedroom area seemed clean, the sink cove area was somewhat dirty and there was a leaky tap (which seemed to be a recurring theme in the hotel). Due to this leaky tap I think there was stagnant water therefore there were mosquitoes in the room which consequently bit me all 3 nights we stayed there. I know Milan is humid place, and in the summer I might expect this, but it was only 18c at the end of October... I was not expecting to get bitten!

Minimal english is spoken but come with a phrase book and you will be able to communicate your point with the owners.

Breakfast is included. However the owner asked me if I wanted some while smoking a cigarette which kinda put me off and so I declined.

Good price, but next time I think I might spend more just to avoid these annoyances or spend about the same and get a hotel further out, because the metro system is cheap anyway.

We stayed at this hotel for one, very long night. It is centrally located in a very nice building within minutes from the Duomo, however the hotel is not cared for at all. It does not seem as though anyone has bothered to clean the bedrooms or bathrooms for months. It was filthy. It stank of cigarette smoke, even though there are signs all over the building indicating "no smoking". There was mold and mildew all over the bathroom. There was a bathmat that probably could be used for a science experiment. The bed was extremely uncomfortable and we slept in our street clothes for fear of catching a disease from the bedding. It was very disappointing and we are glad that we did not have to stay for an extended period, because we would have definitely cut our stay short. Until they clean up their hotel, I definitely would advise that you stay someplace else!!
