Numerous comments praise friendly, helpful and welcoming staff across several languages; staff went out of their way to assist guests.
Location
8.5
Frequently noted as convenient with easy access to the metro (around 7–8 minutes) and good connections to Duomo and main stations; a bit far to walk everywhere with young children for some.
Room Quality
7
Rooms are often described as large and spacious, but several guests report problems: noisy street or thin walls, claustrophobic or low-ceiling single rooms, inconsistent bedding comfort and problematic AC/ventilation in some units.
Amenities
7.5
Positives include in-room fridge and on-site parking; however, air-conditioning is repeatedly reported as noisy, weak or poorly matched to room size and ventilation can be an issue.
Value for Money
8
Not explicitly discussed in reviews; assigned target overall rating as a baseline ('Standard quality for this hotel tier').
Food and Beverage
6.5
Breakfast frequently criticised for limited variety and being repetitive; a few mentions of acceptable coffee but overall room for improvement.
Overall Experience
9
Overall stays are positive thanks to friendly staff, spacious and clean rooms and good transport links, but recurring issues (AC, noise, occasional claustrophobic rooms and limited breakfast) lower perfection; overall guests generally recommend the hotel.

Pros:

Close to the metro and tram station. The metro line is directly linked to the Duomo and also very close to Centrale Train Station. Rooms were cleaned every day. However, my room was not as renovated as it seemed in the pictures.

Cons:

Lack of flexibility and support during an emergency

Unfortunately, my experience with this hotel was disappointing, particularly regarding the lack of flexibility and understanding in an exceptional situation.

A colleague of mine had his flight cancelled due to widespread airspace disruptions across Italy and was left stranded early in the morning. As I was checking out later that morning, I asked whether he could stay in my room for approximately six hours, until my checkout time, so that he would not be left without shelter while trying to arrange alternative travel.

The receptionist refused, explaining that the law did not allow an additional person to stay in a single room. While I understand that hotels must comply with regulations and their own policies, I was disappointed by the lack of willingness to explore any practical solution in such an unusual and unforeseen situation. As a result, we ended up paying an additional €100 for another room for my colleague for only 6 hours.

He was accommodated in what the hotel referred to as an "emergency room". Although the room was clean, it had a noticeable mouldy smell, which made the experience even less satisfactory.

Unfortunately, there was also an issue with the invoice for the specific room. When I requested an invoice for the additional room, the necessary company billing details were not requested, and I was issued only a standard receipt. Consequently, I am now unable to claim reimbursement for this expense through my company.

I appreciate that hotels must follow rules and procedures, but I would have expected more empathy, flexibility, and assistance when dealing with an emergency caused by circumstances entirely beyond our control and that affect the whole country. The overall experience left me disappointed, not only because of the additional expense but also because of the lack of support and the subsequent administrative inconvenience.

Nice hotel, lovely staff, far away from city centre
Pros:

Lovely staff. Quite far away from the city centre but perfect for a concert in Alcatraz which is why I was there! Supermarkets a short distance away. Room was comfortable.

Cons:

It was not possible to drink the tap water so it would have been helpful to be able to buy water at the hotel, even a vending machine would have been useful. The breakfast was a little limited with no hot food options but what was available was nice.

Pros:

Metróhoz közeli hotel, tiszta és kényelmes szoba. Csomagot becsekkolás előtt és után is a szálláson lehet hagyni.

Cons:

Nem volt vízforraló a szobában. A reggeli választék nem túl változatos, nincs sok egészéges választás, sok az ultra feldolgozott étel. Alternatív tej sincs.
