I booked this hotel last-minute during Milan Fashion Week, and honestly, it was the only one left in the city center that fit my budget. I was a bit nervous going in—there are quite a few negative reviews online—but after staying here for a full week, I’d definitely come back if I ever return to Milan. The location is unbeatable: just a 6-minute walk to Duomo, right next to Milan’s most famous shopping street, and a metro station literally 20 meters from the front door. I didn’t rent a car once—I used the subway all week and even managed to pop back for a quick nap in between events. The staff were outstanding. I’ve been stressed about missing invitations during past fashion weeks, but here, the lobby staff handles them personally—they collect them at reception and deliver them straight to your room. They’re on duty 24/7, and even though the front desk hours are 9 AM to 6 PM, they’re always reachable. I arrived around 11 PM and my call was answered immediately. Some guests complain about small bathrooms—true, the shower area isn’t huge, but it’s functional and fits perfectly for a quick wash. I cared more about the bed quality, and it was excellent. There’s a proper desk, iron, and plenty of space in the room overall. As for noise—yes, it’s a city center, so you’ll hear some traffic and distant chatter, especially during the day. But after midnight, it gets quiet fast. Italian shops close early, and the streets settle down quickly. If you’re sensitive to sound, earplugs work like magic. Overall, this place delivers everything I need for a stress-free business trip—great value, super convenient, and genuinely welcoming.
The location is absolutely perfect—walking distance to all the main sights and shopping areas in Milan, so we didn’t need to rely on public transport at all. Chatted with a local shop owner nearby, who mentioned this area has higher property values, which explains why it feels safer and more peaceful than other parts of the city. There’s even a decent-sized supermarket just steps away, which came in handy after days of eating out—grabbing some chicken legs and ribs to grill at home made for a nice change of pace. I also had to do a bit of waste sorting during my stay, which was a small learning curve for someone used to not doing it regularly, but it felt good to be eco-conscious. The sofa bed is a real win—easily converts into a comfortable extra bed, allowing my kids and me to sleep separately without any disruption. Overall, this place is ideal for families, offering comfort, convenience, and a true local vibe. Highly recommend! It’s one of those stays where you feel like you’re living like a local, not just visiting.
Staying at Ecogreen Flats Prestige - Central Station was an absolute delight. The location is perfect—just a short walk from Milan Central Station, making it super convenient for getting around the city by train or metro. There's a supermarket right nearby, so grabbing snacks, drinks, or essentials is effortless. The room itself was spotless, thoughtfully designed, and very comfortable with everything you'd need for a pleasant stay. The clean lines, modern touches, and excellent lighting made the space feel bright and welcoming. I truly felt at home. With such great value and a prime location, I’d definitely book again and highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Milan.
Absolutely outstanding experience! This hotel has absolutely no downsides. The location is perfect—just a 2-minute walk from the Duomo, making it incredibly convenient for exploring Milan’s heart. The staff at reception were incredibly friendly and welcoming, offering helpful tips and quick assistance. The rooms are spotless, beautifully modern, and so comfortable—especially the bed, which made for a restful night's sleep. Every detail feels thoughtfully designed. I’m already planning my return visit. A 10/10 isn’t enough—this deserves an 11/10. If you're looking for a stylish, well-located, and impeccably maintained stay in Milan, this is the one.
We were supposed to receive the door code via email upon check-in, but it never arrived. When I tried to contact Italianway staff, I could barely hear them due to the loud noise in the office. They insisted it had been sent and that we should have it already. After about 15 minutes of back-and-forth, they finally resent it. All this happened while we were standing outside in 34°C heat, waiting with our two heavy suitcases. To make matters worse, we had to carry everything up three flights of stairs to a flat without air conditioning—something that wasn’t mentioned anywhere before booking. As someone who’s lived in Italy for over 20 years (my wife is Italian), I know what to expect when traveling here, but this was still an exhausting experience, especially for us in our mid-seventies. That said, the apartment was clean and located in a very convenient spot—our only positive takeaway.
Staying right across from Milano Centrale Station is such a game-changer—literally steps from the train station, super easy to find and navigate. The hotel itself feels spacious and well-maintained, with a modern yet welcoming vibe. The rooms are clean, comfortable, and well-designed, making it an ideal spot for both business and leisure travelers. I especially appreciated the quiet, cozy atmosphere after a long day of exploring Milan. One small note: while Europe tends to promote sustainability by not providing free toiletries or bottled water, having them available—even as optional extras—would make the experience even more convenient for guests who don’t bring their own. Still, the location, comfort, and overall value are outstanding. I’d definitely stay here again when visiting Milan.
My stay at 10 Keys Milano was absolutely delightful. The room was clean, beautifully decorated, and the bathroom felt spacious and modern—very well thought out. What really stood out was the front desk staff: incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help with any questions. We arrived at 1 PM and were allowed to check in immediately—no waiting until 3 PM like many hotels. That kind of flexibility made a big difference. Breakfast had a nice variety of fresh fruit and plenty of pastries, which was great, though I would have liked a bit more selection in terms of bread and maybe some cooked eggs or scrambled options. Still, overall it’s a strong recommendation. The location is convenient, the atmosphere is warm, and the service goes above and beyond. If you’re looking for a comfortable, stylish base in Milan, this place is definitely worth considering.
Staying at Room Inn was an absolute delight from start to finish. The location is perfect—just a short walk from major attractions, restaurants, and shopping areas, making it incredibly convenient for exploring Milan. We were warmly welcomed by Antonella upon arrival, and Giacinto made each morning special with delicious, homemade breakfasts that set the tone for our day. The room was clean, cozy, and well-appointed, and the personal touch from the hosts truly made us feel at home. If you're visiting Milan, this is one of the best choices you can make. Highly recommend for travelers who value comfort, hospitality, and a central location.
