“Good business hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 5, 2013

Shared a triple room with two colleagues during a business trip. We spent one night at the hotel, and I'm glad we did. Room was comfortable and clean, definitely up to par with hotel category. Breakfast was also great, with a wide selection of cold and hot items and some nice view, from 6th floor. Room entertainment system could have been better (sluggish control, slow to even change channels), but that was ok, for just one night. Check in and check out were fairly quick, despite the time we needed to have our invoice amended - we were charged for 3 nights instead of one at first. Mistake was quickly recognized and dealt with. Professionally. With all this said, best thing about the hotel is most likely its position, just outside of the subway stop in Corso Buenos Aires, and within walking distance (or a short taxi cab ride) from Milan train station. Nothing to complain, will definitely consider staying here again.

Room Tip: We've stayed in triple room 506. Not bad at all!

“Very well equipped”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 31, 2013 via mobile

This hotel is very well situated outside a metro station, 5 minutes ride to the duomo. It is excellently equipped, the rooms have a kettle (the first hotel we have encountered with one, and we have been to Rome, Florence and venice), and the beds are very comfortable (every bed we have slept in in Italy so far has been unbearably hard). There is a free pool and gym, free play station if you request it, free self service laundry, shoe cleaners, computers in the lobby as well as wifi in the rooms. The staff are very friendly which in my opinion is the most important thing, they recommend good restaurants which have good prices, and explained how to use the metro very well. A very pleasurable stay.

“Just ok”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed January 23, 2013

The location was good, right next to the metro and within walking distance of many restaurants and stores. It was clean and the rooms were a good size. Unfortunately, there was a distinct smell of sewer throughout the building (possibly due to ongoing renovations), the AC was pre set by the hotel and didn't do the job and the wifi was very weak in our room.

“Pool, steam and sauna, free Playstation, lots of perks! Great value!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 21, 2013

My 11 year old son and I spent 2 nights at this Best Western and give it 2 thumbs up. The goods: Clean quiet room. Nice updated bathroom, good water pressure. Comfortable bed with good pillows. Teapot in the room to make your own tea was a nice touch. The first evening we tried out the pool and other free amenities. The pool was small, but fun. There was also a "Turkish Bath" which was a steamy hot room, right next door to the dry heat sauna. There was also a modest workout room which had 2 working massage chairs (free of charge)! Breakfast was a huge buffet with juices, eggs, meats, cheeses, pastries etc. Bright, clean dining area on the 6th floor. Very helpful and friendly staff. The hotel is situated right next to a Metro Stop (LIMA) and only a 10 minute to our favorite Italian gelateria (ice cream shop!) GROM. The best so make sure you go! I really have nothing bad to say about this hotel! One tip: At breakfast, instead of using the coffee/hot chocolate machine at the buffet (which is mediocre coffee-wise) give the server your coffee order (cappucino, espresso, macchiato etc.) which is much tastier and is free of charge!

Room Tip: If you're a late sleeper, you might not want to be on the 6th floor near the breakfast room sinc...

“Great hotel!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 19, 2013

Stayed here for 4 nights with a friend during the summer in 2011. It's a very good-looking hotel with a nice venue.The staff were very kind and helpfull and spoke good english. The room was very nice. Good bed, nice bathroom and a balcony with street view.
The hotel was very clean, including the room. Breakfast was very good, lots of choice.
We also used the swimming pool, wich was small but very nice for a cooldown during the summer. It also had a funny ''lightning'' shower and beautycentre.
At the top of the hotelbuilding there's a terrace with a very nice view over Milan. I would recommand to take a look over there!
Another positive thing is the metro station right next/in front of the hotel..! But the ''shopping centre'' of Milan with the Duomo is also only a 20 minute walk wich is very do-able I think.
Overall, we really LOVED this hotel and when we go back to Milan we will certainly book this hotel again!
