We had a one and a half day stay in Milan before going to Rome. We enjoyed Milano Centrale hotel. One of the front desk attendants, Ursula, goes above and beyond what Ive seen in any other italian hotel. Her hospitality and eagerness to help is a without equal. She is an assest to any hotel, she even hugged us... More

I stopped over in this hotel, on my way to a further destination, while traveling by train. Perfect location, a few strides away from the Milan Central Station. If you are looking for a boutique hotel, you would be badly disappointed by the size of the rooms. Just think of it as a super-luxurious train sleeper: twice as large, twice... More

A mid- level hotel located in a "hotel street" very close to the main railway station where also the airport shuttle buses end/start from. Convenient for rail travellers. Customers in cars seemed to have some hassles finding street parking since this is inner city Milano. Modern style hotel, clean room, a little on the smallish side. Bed deserves better madrass....

The hotel lies in a very good location because it is reachable by foot in 2 mins. from Milan Central Station and offers an affordable price, however apart from that there are no other points of merit. The rooms are unbelievably small, so small that you cannot even walk around the bed and it's a challenge to enter with your... More

The hotel is just five minutes walk from the Milan main train station, one minutes walk to MacDonald and small room but for me is fine, I just for sleep. Clean and have basic equipment in the room. Basic Breakfast but is fine. If you just for transist or shopping trip, this hotel is best choice.

Just stayed at the Idea hotel. How is that for an Idea? There are no mirrors in the rooms. Yes, you got it , no mirrors. After searching for a mirror behind every door and noticing how much empty wall space is available I called reception and was informed that yes, they are aware of the problem but, the architect...

Good location in an area full of hotels. Modern looking hotel. One of the ladies at the reception is great, very friendly, polite and eager to help you. The rooms are small but very well done in white color and modern.

We were hugely disappointed with this hotel. We felt it was overpriced for the tiny room, with a bathroom that can only be described as a tin. The walls are paper thin, the bed is tiny and wifi cost 7 euros for 24 hours. There was a constant 'hum' all night which may have been the hotel ventilation system, whatever... More

I've been travelling to Milan for 7 years to watch AC Milan and have stayed in over 25 different hotels. I just wish I'd found the Idea Hotel earlier. Price was good value, the decor throughout the hotel is modern and clean, and the rooms are lovely. For the price that I paid this is definitely the best budget hotel... More
