Hotel Florida - Milan

Not the most modern or beautiful rooms, but a solid and reliable spot for a quick night before leaving on the train the next day. There were a number of great restaurants within walking distance to choose from, and the service was quick and professional. The place clearly hasn't been renovated in decades and the decor and furniture is well-past worn […] out. No biggie, I guess, for a short one night in town. Overall, I would recommend to a friend, as long as the price wasn't too high. Read more

We were there only one night & didn't have breakfast or use any of the other amenities. The hotel is right next to the train station--exit to the left of incoming trains & it's just the next street over, & a 5 minute walk to the bus to Malpensa airport which is also on that side of the train station & costs 10 euros for the 50 minute trip to the airport […] & is available very early & very late. There is a Metro stop at the train station which for 3 euros RT takes you to the Duomo, Vittorio Emanuelle II Galeria, & La Scala opera house, all at the same stop. The Florida is a very nice 3 star hotel. The only complaint I have is the shower situation--likemost hotels in Italy it has a tub with a hand held sprayer mounted directly in the center as opposed to one end or the other, which is not user friendly. The problem here is that, unlike most other hotels, there is no shower curtain so the bathroom ends up with water all over the floor. There is free WiFi at this hotel. Overall I recommend this hotel.

At the reception desk, only one man was working. Guests were making a line to wait for registration or check-out business. Two women were there behind the working man, but they never helped him.

The best part of this hotel is the closeness to the train station, which also is a subway stop, so it's a quick ride to the city's main sights. The hotel was nice and modern. My single room was small, as expected, but well kept and with a nice bathroom. The complimentary breakfast was very good too. I would stay here again for sure.

The4 hotel is very nicely situated across from the train station. Great little place to eat three doors down. A bit noisy at night......leaving th window open made for an unrestful night.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Hotel was clean and just as important - had hot water in the morning for shower. Breakfast was good and hotel was nice and close to the train station and bus to airport. I was dragging lots of luggage so really appreciated the location from the train and to the bus to the Malpensa airport.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Hotel is very close to the train station but...AC not cooling, room not clean, and staff not very friendly...overall I would not stay there again, and can not comment on breakfast we chose mcd.

Genuine Expedia guest review

small rooms but clean, everything in working order, comfortable, and a very short walk to the train station. Safe street (some hotels by train stations are in seedy neighborhoods, but this was fine). The price we paid seemed about average for the area. Helpful desk staff.Airport bus left from the side of the train station near to the hotel- we walked, […] did not need a cab Read more

We arrived from the station late and the double smoking room was not available. as I was traveling with my son sharing a bed was not a problem and the room had a balcony to allow smoking. Breakfast was great with varied meats, breads and cheeses. Would use again if flying in and going elsewhere due to access to central train station.

The air conditioning unit was ineffective, which is a significant factor in summer months. Otherwise, the hotel met our purpose, which was to be close to the central train station and bus shuttle to the airport.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

We enjoyed the stay, but the room was nothing special. The best thing about the place was its proximity to the train station and the fact that there was a relatively cheap shuttle to the airport. We weren't in the room much, so it's hard to be displeased for how short our stay was. The TV was quite small for how far it is from the bed, but again, we […] didn't watch much TV. If you're looking for a romantic getaway, this hotel won't add anything to your romance. It's fairly drab and utilitarian. That said, we enjoyed our stay, and the staff was relatively helpful. The free Wi-Fi was great too. Read more

Excellent stay and very convenient to the main station. It is literally around the corner from the Station on the side where the Malpensa airport buses depart.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The gentleman who checked us in wasn't very nice or helpful and wouldn't get off the phone to answer our questions. He also tried to hold onto our passports which I did not appreciate. The bathroom was pretty moldy but the rest of the room was clean. The neighborhood is boring and kind of scary but it is near the train station which was convenient for […] us as we were only staying there for one night and heading back to Linate airport early in the morning. I would definitely not stay there in the future. Read more

Nice staff, very small shower. Great location near main train station, easy to catch bus to airport..

Genuine Expedia guest review

This is a good place to stay if you just need to basic hotel room. The room was good, and the staff was nice, but they certainly did not go out of their way for you. Breakfast included, and it is about a block away from the train station.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Stayed here only because of the location right next to the train station so we could pick up a rental car the next morning. Good enough to stay for one night but we would never stay there again mainly because of the very rude front desk staff when we checked in which left a very negative impression. He was very rude and impatient as soon as we stepped […] into the lobby and clearly disgruntled (he spoke to guests in a very bad tone and he was mumbling what sounded like very negative remarks about a guest who could not understand Italian). The elevator was dingy and every time we got in we kept our fingers crossed that we don't plunge to basement or get stuck in it. The room was musty and out-of-date but overall clean. Same with the bathroom. Breakfast was just okay, all other hotels we stayed in Italy had better breakfast both quality of food and service. WiFi was weak but got the job done, except that we had to deal with the rude receptionist because he had not given us the password at the check-in time as he should have and when we called in later he forced us to go down stairs late night because "he could not give it to me over the phone and had to write it down" -- not true, it was pre-printed on paper and he could have just sent one up. Street outside is noisy day and night as expected from a down-town near a train station and bar across street. Walls are paper thin. The hotel ignored our request on the reservation for an inside (courtyard side) room! Read more

Me and my family (4 of us) checked into the hotel on 30/1/2011. We were given 2 rooms with a connecting door , very convenient for us and the rooms were just nice for us. We enjoyed our stay there.

We stayed in a twin room on a business trip to Milano. Pros: Only 50m from the Central Station. Friendly and helping staff, they responded to my emails promptly before our trip and did their best to satisfy our requests. Breakfast was OK, better than many 4* hotels. Internet was working properly. Cons : Our room was not that small, but I know that some […] single rooms are not that spacey. Beds were not very comfortable, but I could sleep well. Read more

Believe or not you will lose things (such as blackberry) where you put openly on the table inside a locked room!

Made the stay easy

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The hotel was in a great location and easy to find, right by the train station, with easy access to the metro. The room was small and rather basic by American standards, with rather thin walls and basic decor. Still the price seemed good and the people at the front desk spoke enough english to be very helpful. Make sure to ask them for a city map. Breakfast […] was decent, with some ok restaurants nearby. Just remember, most rooms in italy are fairly small, and even though there is a/c, it never seems to get that cold (as in most of the hotels we encountered). Read more

Nice hotel for the price. Compared to European standards, the room size is ok. good location. No information for tourists available either in the room or in the lobby. We were satisfied with our stay.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The Hotel Florida is very conveniently located in Milan with access to the main train station nearby. There are some good restaurants and the hotel staff were very attentive. I had a problem with the shower head in my room and the front desk had it repaired very promptly which was great. I would definitely recommend the hotel for its convenient location […] and the price was very reasonable. The rooms are a little small but then who stays in a hotel room for very long when you are in Milan? Read more

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The hotel was suitable for a one-night stay just before we left the country. Clean, but not immaculate. Quite a bit of dust in some places of our room, plus, a faint smell of cigarettes lingered in our non-smoking room. We had to leave the hotel at 5 am (2 hours before breakfast was served), so we asked if we could get a prepared breakfast to go. This […] service was offered at ALL of the other 3-star hotels we stayed at during our 10-day trip except for at Hotel Florida. They would not acknowledge this request. While we weren't upset, this would have still been a nice service for them to offer. Unlike the other hotels we visited, Hotel Florida did not make an attempt to go out of their way and offer exceptional guest service. All in all, not a bad place to stay for a day or two, but certainly not the best. Read more

Great location, and good value for the money.

Genuine Expedia guest review

If you stay here, do ask for a room not on the street. Overall the room was average, but served our needs to be very close to the train station since we only stayed 1 night. The bed was comfortable but the rooms were small as are most rooms that are in older buildings. Good price, convenient location, but just average.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

it is overall a nice hotel for the low price. the elevator is small, the beds are decent, the bedding is sketchy, the lobby is teeny tiny. i read a lot of reviews about the staff being rude, luckily didnt run into this problem at this hotel. but italy in general, service is not really key nor does it hold a candle to service you would receive in the […] states or in asia. it is literally steps away from the central station, which was convenient for us as we did lots of day trips. we literally just came to the hotel to sleep and shower and to put our suit cases down. if youre looking for comfort in any sense of the word, this place is not for you. it is more convenient than it is comfort.

Easy quick walk from the train station. Room was just fine, twin beds a bit firm for my taste. we couldn't figure out how to lower the heat, so it was warmish for sleeping, but the bathroom was fine. Combo tub/telephone shower, big sink. Slightly odd toilet that required a sort of faucet system in which you run the water until the bowl is clean instead […] of an automatic flush. Staff very responsive. I'd go back, no question. Read more

Genuine Expedia guest review

We paid almost the same amount for a 3 star in Florence and received a much better standard. Staff at Hotel Florida were very helpful and eager to assist which was very nice. The rooms are below standard, showers incredibly tiny and ours didn't drain. Beds were comfy enough and clean which was enough for me - but wanted a little more for the money. […] It's a pretty good hike to the shopping/historic district, so I would only recommend if you are coming and leaving via train station.

Genuine Expedia guest review

There must be nicer places nearby. While the lobby was modern and the subterranean breakfast nook OK, the room and hallway were depressing. The bed too was not comfortable.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The hotel was close to the main train station which was convenient to just walk over. The hotel felt more like a hostel than a hotel. Our room was not cleaned well. There was a used showed cap hanging in the bathroom and there was hair in the sink. Also the sink was clogged and water would accumulate. The breakfast was very basic and not much of a variety. […] If you wanted more, it was at an additional cost. If you are arriving by train and only need to stay there for one cheap night, then I would recommend it. Read more

Close to the Central Station, close to good restaurants, free internet access, nice breakfast, nice room, at a low cost.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

We would definitely stay at Hotel Florida again for the convenience to train, bus, and metro. The room was clean and comfortable by Italian standards. We were not able to have the breakfast because it did not open till 7:30 and we had to catch the Malpensa Express by 6:30. This trip to Italy the breakfasts at our hotels seemed to start on the late side, […] which was disappointing. We did not bring our own laptops and could not use the Wi-Fi, so also would have appreciated computer access with internet. Please beware of the extremely slippery tub and bathroom floor, which resulted in my having a very scary fall out of the shower. Read more

Very close to Centrale. This is not, notably, where the Malpensa Express comes in, but an easy-enough Metro ride away. Centrale does appear to be the big train station for many other destinations (including Venice). Metro takes you to the Duomo and more central areas very quickly. Plenty of cheap and easy food along Via Vetruvio. Hotel is perfectly […] nice, bit spartan, but absolutely good for the money and location. Read more

The hotel is clean. Location is actually what made me choose the hotel i.e. close to centrale milan station. Rick Steves actually wrote about it in his book, Italy. I would book this hotel again!

I found all the staff to be very friendly and helpful. When I needed help locating the hospital in which a friend was staying, they quickly tracked it down, printed out directions and a map, and told me where I would find a bus to take me there. The location of the hotel is so convenient for getting around Milan and points beyond. And there's a great […] restaurant right around the corner. This hotel and its staff helped make my stay in Milan a most enjoyable one. Read more

The hotel location is more than great, its next to central station, also you can take the metro to the Duomo, also If you'll travel from milan, you'll find the bus shuttle parked next to central station. The hotel is modern, rooms are good, but the receptionist people are So Rude. Would recommend it for the Location
