Starhotels Business Palace Porta Vittoria

A short guide to Porta Vittoria

Vittoria is a popular shopping and residential area with leafy avenues. At its heart is the Palazzo di Giustizia (Law Courts), a focal point in the 1990s due to the iMani Pulite/i (‘clean hands’) corruption trials which changed the face of Italian politics. For a more spiritual experience, Santa Maria della Passione is Milan’s second largest church after the Duomo, with some remarkable paintings and frescoes.

For what we paid for 4 nights in Milan I couldnt asked for any thing else from a hotel. We managed to get what we thought was a great price for a superior room incl breakfast. The hotel wasnt in the city centre & on maps of the centre it wasnt even appearing on them but really glad we choose it now as we got better quality for our money. The metro stop is literary 1 minute from the hotel & is about 5 stops to Duomo (one of the tourist areas) & about 8 to Milan's central station.

We spent 4 nights at the Business Palace and were delighted with all aspects of the hotel: true 5-star quality at a 3-star price (think we were lucky with our timing). Though it is a few miles from the town centre, it is only 100m from a Metro station with direct trains to the city centre, including Stazione Centrale... and the Metro was rarely crowded and has lifts for those with luggage. Staff friendly and helpful, room very comfortable (more like a suite) and excellent breakfast choice

the hotel was good overall. to find it you need to take the yellow line metro line and get off porto de mare exit. the hotel is right there. food..all I have to say is you need to do the apperitivo. you show up and pay about 8 euros and get a beer to go with it and they will give you access to a buffet. the slice cafe on naviglio district (sforza street) is the best. you cant go to milan and no show up at this cafe.

Perfectly comfy business hotel that we used as a base for our trip to Milan. Price was very reasonable and the facilities were good. One thing to note is that they wouldn't provide an iron and ironing board. We asked for one and got a woman instead! Not cheap if you need to iron shirts for a stay. Also, the map on hotels.com shows the nearest Metro station as being "Corvetto", in actual fact "Porto di Mare" is about a 2 minute walk from the hotel but this station seems to be missing from the map. It's the next stop on the same line if you travel by Metro.

When we first checked in, we were given an upgrade on the room. That seemed nice at first, especially since the room was spacious, however, the air conditioning was not working. Also the refrigerator was not cooling. We told the front desk lobby and they sent someone down to investigate. He said he'd get back to us. After about 20 minutes, I called the front desk and told them we needed another room. I checked out the other room personally which had the AC working but there was an extra bed in the room. After asking to have it removed, I was told it was reserved for someone else. We finally got into a room with a working AC and fridge on the third attempt. After that everything was smooth, and the lobby staff, as well as bar/restaurant staff provided excellent service. Construction going on next to the hotel. No good supermarket nearby for buying general stuff (forgot some toiletries I had to buy). Little bit outside of central Milan, but easily accessible as the metro stop is right next to the hotel. Took about 30 min to get to Duomo and central Milan.

We stayed for three nights last week May 2009. Room, upgraded to superior double was lovely, not huge but clean and comfortable. Locaton seven stops on Metro to Duomo, and Parc de Mer station, which was 20 metres from the hotel. Cheap, regular and easy to use as well. A few inconsistencies with service however - first morning a large group of teenagers staying. Had to stand waiting for ten minutes for a table at breakfast where they had taken over, although the hotel had tried to seat them in a seperate room. Eventually we were given a table in amongst them. The last night we stayed in the hotel to eat, knowing it was more expensive. The service was really poor, the waiter took the wrong food to three tables and for a four star hotel the food didn''t match up at all - bland and dry - my veal cutlet was dry as cardboard and cost 23euros! So, a tip - stay in the hotel, good value for money but eat elsewhere. The seond and third morning service was back to normal for breakfast and there was an excelllent choice and plenty of it.

This hotel makes up for its location by being right next to a subway station. For travel to Milan by car or access to the airport the location is good because it is close to the highways. The center of town is a quick 10 minute ride on the subway. The hotel has a very nice breakfast buffet, which is free, and the dinner buffet was very good. There really is nothing else around the hotel except office buildings and apartment complexes.

I would agree that, at times, the staff could have been more helpful and more knowledgeable, but that is did not alter my overall impression.

The hotel is very close to the yellow line subway which is a 10 minute ride from Duomo the major attraction center of Milan. The Hotel has a bar open until 1am but the area in general does not have many activities in walking distance. The trains run until midnight so if you are looking to stay out past midnight and don't want to pay exorbitant taxi fees you might want to stay somewhere closer to the Duomo in Milan.

Reviewed by Vacation trav of Southern California on Sep 26, 2007

We were looking for a nice 4 star hotel to spend part of our vacation. This hotel is located one block from the Metro stop. But the location is not in a business area. There's graffiti on the walls of the businesses across the street from the hotel. This doesn't give the comfortable feeling of wanting to walk outside. The room was spacious but the beds were small and uncomfortable. Then, the front desk staff is not friendly. While checked out, the girl helping me giggled/chatted with another person in Italian while assisting me. Also, all over the hotel it stinks like smoke.

Hotel ligt ongeveer 10 min met metro vanaf de Duomo. Heel goed bereikbaar en dus net uit het druktste gedeelte van Milaan. Echt een businesshotel, je moet dus geen authentieke charme verwachten of dat je uitzicht hebt op een typisch Italiaans straatje oid. Het staat echt in een buitenwijk. De kamers zijn heel netjes en schoon. Goede bedden en geen last van geluidsoverlast. De service is prima aan de balie. Mogelijkheid tot internetten is aanwezig. Het onbijt is voldoende. Basic, maar naar Italiaanse standaarden prima. Hotel is goed bereikbaar met de auto.

J'ai choisi cet hôtel pour son rapport qualité prix et je n'ai pas été déçu ! Il est tout simplement parafait. S'il n'est pas central, ce n'est pas un problème. On peut se rendre rapidement dans le centre en métro et même en voiture (on trouve tout de même à se garer dans Milan). L'accueil est très sympathique, la chambre silencieuse et parfaitement confortable et propre, le petit déjeuné inclus est riche, varié et à volonté, il y a un parking assez cher mais on peut se garer autour de l'hôtel sans risquer trop le vol (quartier d'affaire). Seul défaut la connexion internet hors de prix !

(την ημέρα είναι πιο δύσκολο να παρκάρετε). Αν δεν έχετε αυτοκίνητο η στάση του μετρό είναι πενήντα μέτρα από το ξενοδοχείο. Το κέντρο είναι πολύ μακριά για να πάει κάποιος με τα πόδια.

Ingen frisk frugt, dårlig juice, tørt brød. Værelset var dog fint og sengen himmelsk. Den dårlige service fra bl.a. receptionisterne trækker helhedsintrykket ned til.
