Want to know a secret? We found the place the business travellers stay near Malpensa, and it is a terrific value! The hotel is called MXP Rooms, and although it is billed as a guest house, it is really a small hotel in a kind of motel format. It is located in a gated area on pleasant grounds and even has a little picnic area.
Staff were absolutely the best. We were told to call upon arrival, and after a short wait we were collected along with our entourage of baggage and taken to the hotel, about 10 minutes away. They collect on demand and make regular airport runs during the day for €5 each way regardless of the size of your party.
The rooms are basically furnished but have absolutely everything needed, and we found ours quite comfortable. TV is Italian, but the WiFi connection worked, and there is free parking available on the property. The breakfast was also pretty basic, but for the price (we paid less than €50, this place is an unbelievable deal!
