Excellent Location and Service

excellent location friendly staff

The location is excellent. It is in the heart of the city. I found it great to stay near La Scala theater and close to the Duomo. Good food choices are within a short walk. The staff was friendly and accommodating. I found the room well-appointed.

The shower was not great. To get in the tub, the ledge was really high. The shower rain head is in the middle of the tub, but there is no curtain or door, so water went onto the bathroom floor. It was the worst shower I've ever seen in a hotel.

The breakfast buffet offered good choices, including gluten-free options, so I was satisfied. There was a harpist playing during breakfast. If I ordered drinks to the room, they came beautifully presented with snacks, a nice touch.

Adequate stay in a central location

great location breakfast variety confusing layout substandard lighting

The location proved very convenient. It was easy to reach the attractions I wanted to visit. The included breakfast offered a good start to the day. I found a decent variety of options available.

The room's layout felt a bit odd and impractical. The light switches lacked labels. It took time to figure out which switch controlled which light. I also found the lighting was not bright enough, especially considering the stairs inside the room.
