We stayed here one night before a morning flight out of Malpensa. Saronno is a convienent stop over. We arrived late Saturday night and walked around town some Sunday morning. We were disappointed we were only there on Sunday morning, it had a nice city center and looked like a nice place to spend a half-day if things were open.
The hotel is an easy and safe 5-7 minute walk from the train station. It is in a largely residential area, with restaurants and shops being 3 minutes away. It's in a nice quite location. The hotel is very modern, clean and cororate. It feels like a Holiday Inn Express or Hampton Inn you'd see near a highway exit in the U.S.
The breakfast was very large and nice, especially by Italian standards.
Saronno is a 20 minute train ride from Milan Cadorna train station. (Not Milan Central Station! If you're at Milano Centrale, you need to take a subway to Cardona station.) Malpensa is an easy 15 minute train ride from Saronno. more
