Pros:

Toalhas e lençois de ótima qualidade. Quarto silencioso para dormir. Excelente localização

Achei o quarto pequeno. Achei o cafe da manhã bom, mas com pouca variedade de Paes salgados e embutidos, assim como queijo. Tinha mais opção de doce do qie de salgados.

Charming hotel
Pros:

Old world charm with beautiful updates. Lots of indoor and outdoor space. Really nice restaurant on site. Close to the secondary train station by cab then shorter train ride to Airport. Canal area. Hopping at night. Our room was quiet in back area. Helpful staff. Good sized room as well.

Cons:

Didn’t check out much of the area because it was over 90° during our visit, so can’t speak to that. Our room was at one flight of stairs if that’s a concern for some people. All good really.

Nydelig hotell med sjarm, fin beliggenhet og god frokost
Pros:

Veldig god frokost og hyggelig serveringspersonale. Perfekt beliggenhet og magisk bakgård med masse deilig jasminblomster.

Cons:

Ba om hjelp til hvordan komme oss til Duomo di Milano. Vi fikk beskjed om å ta trikk 3 istedenfor metro - den gikk ikke til Duomo så vi fikk en ekstra rundtur på 45 minutter. Litt kjedelig når man kun har en dag i byen…

Eine Oase der Ruhe in Navigli.
Pros:

Ein schön gemachtes und sauberes Hotel. Es ist sehr gut gelegen im geschäftigen Navigli-Viertel. Wir hatten das Zimmer in den Innenhof und da war es eine ruhige Oase im sonst lauten Party-Viertel. Für einen Mailand-Trip ideal. Man kann durch eine belebte Strasse mit vielen Geschäften in ca. 40 Minuten zum Dom spazieren.

Cons:

Aufgrund der Lage im Innenhof, war das Zimmer ein bisschen dunkel.

Très bon accueil du personnel. Chambre (côté cour) très confortable et propre. Et surtout au calme malgré le côté très vivant du quartier Navigli. Le restaurant de l'hôtel est aussi super.

Séjour agréable où l'on est bien accueilli
Pros:

L'établissement est très bien placé dans un quartier riche en animation.
Le personnel hôtelier et de restauration est très professionnel et très aimable

Cons:

Le seul bémol (mais nous le savions en procédant à la réservation) est la disposition de la fenêtre qui donne sur une cour intérieur et qui, de ce fait, ne peut pas être ouverte la nuit pour des raisons de tranquillité. Du coup ça manque un peu d'aération naturelle.
