Hotel Berna - Milan 45.48254, 9.2033

this is a perfect hotel for business or pleasure right next to central station rooms are good brilliant breakfast good staff and thay speak good english!!

Conveniently located to Central Station and Metro so accessibility to anywhere is on your door step. Close to the Shops and Sites. Our room was great, comfortable and most importantly clean. One day did not leave the room until 230pm and on my return room service had cleaned up - not expected as it was late Only negative is our bathroom looked dated but that is really being picky, but it did not bother us as it was large and clean Great service and very helpful staff, really looked after us and a bargain reasonably priced hotel

A comfortable, welcoming hotel with a fantastic breakfast!

Well located for seeing Milan. Close to the central station and buses. A very good range of foods for breakfast. Complimentary snacks at 6-8pm at the bar and soft drinks in the mini bar in the room.

This hotel was of a really high standard. The rooms were air conditioned, had a free mini bar and were spacious and clean. We could not fault the condition of the hotel. The location is excellent for the train station, only a couple of minutes walk! Only problem was that breakfast is not included in room rate and was quite expensive!

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was great and very clean. The hotel is situated in a convenient location, right near the main station. Excellent hotel! I would definately recommend staying here.

This hotel is really nice and great value. The reception staff were very helpful and friendly. The staff we encountered at breakfast we not as nice or helpful as those on reception. The location is great for the Central Rail Station and Metro to get you everywhere in Milan. The metro to Duomo takes only 10 minutes and is very cheap at 1 euro each way. Overall enjoyed the stay and would recommend.

Very clean, modern hotel with nice comfortable rooms. Free wireless internet for first one hour, really useful if you just want to catch up with e-mails. Friendly staff and hotel is close to good restaurants also.

This hotel is very close to the main station in Milan & convenient for the metro. Good buffet breakfast set's you up for the day ahead.

Htel Berna is in a good location fro exploring Milan and the Lakes, 100m from the metro and 200m from station. The breakfast is as good as all the reviews say, wth a huge choice available from 7am to 11am. The complimentary soft drink mini-bar, which is refilled daily, is great, and apples and biscuits are available throughout the day in reception. We stayed in a standard room, which was quiet and adequate, although smaller than some 4* hotels. I have given it a "3" as the bed was not as comfortable as I would have liked and the shower was more like a tap (no showerhead). The staff put the folowing day's weather forecast in the lift everyday, which was helpful, as was the free A4 sheet of news available in many languages at breakfast. The free internet in reception is also good. I would recommend this hotle as it is good value for money. The area you are in is not good for shops and restaurants, and a fair distance from the centre (ok if you can manage the metro - 10mins on direct line to Duomo). I have stayed in better 4* hotels, but for the price paid (£67/night) it was great.

It was ok. The breakfast was really good and the area was perfect for the central station. We used the metro a lot so that was great. The area at night wasn't great but you can forget about that knowing you are only 10 minutes tube ride from the centre of milan. The service at the hotel was good and they provided a good service where they keep hold of your bags if your outward flight is late in the day. It is free of Charge.

Although most of the reviews we read were positive, we didn't realise the hotel would be as good as it actually was. The staff were very helpful and nothing was too much trouble. The breakfast was lovely and as it was from 7 to 11 very convenient too. We decided on an executive room which, although it was on the other side of the street to the main hotel, was very comfortable. We would love to stay there again. Being near the Central Station is great.

Very close to railway station, where terravision coach dropped us off from Bergamo airport. Metro station nearby. Staff welcoming. Excellent breakfast. Good comfortable bedroom.

Hotel is 5 mins walk from Milan Centrale train station and underground. Hotel tries to be have a "grand" interior, and is certainly clean and well run, but looking closely, it is clear that they are making the best of an old building and some old fittings. (standard) Rooms not very spacious. However, for a city centre hotel, it is perfectly acceptable - I've stayed in worse in Milan - the differenct between 3* and this, a 4*, is significant.

the front desk was extremely helpful! The hotel is beautiful - the bathroom met more than american standards - would stay there again

We stayed at this hotel five years ago and found it to be a wonderful experience at a great location, and reasonable price. I upgraded our reservations to a superior room this time, and found the room to be much smaller and a bit more "worn" than our last visit. I understand the hotel has done some renovation and now has a special new section that obviously rate one step above "superior". A bit disappointed since our last visit, although front desk was most helpful and good breakfast buffet included with large selection of items.

We stayed in the hotel from the 21st to 25th September 2009. From checking in we were made most welcome by the staff who were more than willing to answer any questions regarding how to get to destinations in the city. The breakfast was excelent with a choice of hot and cold food. The prices in the hotel bar were also cheaper than the surrounding cafeterias. I would recomend this hotel to anyone who is thinking of going to Milan

Clean nice hotel (I stayed in the "new" building opposite the reception). Breakfast is excellent. Location - OK, but depends on the purpose of the trip. One area they could improve on - individual air conditioning: it is supposed to be individually set, but in reality you have to call reception to set it for you via their computer.

In Milan for a long weekend. Hotel was 5 minutes walk from central station where we were dropped off. Metro station just a couple of minutes from hotel door. Reception staff could not have been more helpful or pleasant. Dining room staff were very pleasant. Overall this is an excellent base for a stay in Milan. Will definitely recommend it to friends and family and I will stay there if I visit the lovely city again. Thank you Hotel Berna.

We booked this hotel at the last minute and, being a three minute walk from Milan Central train station, we not sure what to expect. Upon arrival we were greeted by a friendly and professional staff and provided an upgrade to a larger room. The premium room was large, clean and very comfortable. The morning breakfast was wonderful - the best we had on our trip through Italy. About the only negative is that the street was a little noisy but that's to be expected in a downtown hotel. Close the window and crank the AC if it bothers you.

We had two stays at Hotel Bernina, first for 3 nights, then 3 weeks later, for two nights. Each time we were impressed with the high level of courtesy and service from staff. On our second stay we were greet with a friendly "Welcome back" when we walked into reception. Our room was spotlessly clean, although the first was a little tired looking, and the bathroom in need of a little "facelift". However these were minor issues in view of the what we felt was a great deal. Breakfast is worth staying for. Contrary to what we have experienced in most European hotels of that standard, we were given a wide choice of foods, buffet style, each morning. Nothing seemed to be too much trouble for the staff. We really enjoyed our experience at Hotel Bernina and would definitely stay again if we return to Milan in the future,

Very close to the central train station. Very welcoming and comfortable. Staff members are very polite and supportive. Breakfast is very good.

The room was small but ok, the room service was bad and the concierge was quick with non Italian speaking people. The breakfeast was nice.

A very well appointed four star hotel that is kept in immaculate condition. The staff are very helpful and friendly. Rooms are very clean and tidy. The breakfast buffet is superb. High recommended.

The Berna is by far the best hotel I have used in Milan. The staff are very helpful and hospitable. Cleanliness and comfort are excellent. Best kept secret is the breakfast.

hotel staff were great both at reception and in breakfast room. rooms clean, minibar free! 1/2 hour free internet in room via vouchers each day... was very useful to plan our trips and activities.. location great.

a very good hotel pleasant helpful staff, very clean, pleasant bedrooms and public rooms and an excellent breakfast

we were upgraded to an executive room, which is across the road in what one must presume is a new part of the hotel - it was beautiful, decor, facilities, staff were very helpful and always cheerful. would recommend this hotel to anyone

The hotel is realy great n the family n I would recomended it to all we know... If I will b in Milan again I'll sure stay there... but unfortunatly as I was in hurry to leave the room I left my white gold ring on the dresser n I'de really apriciate it if the hotel mail it to me... It's means alot to me.... I'm sure I left it there....

Well run hotel with friendly and helpful staff. Very good breakfast.

This hotel came across pretty much like the previous reviews-- nicely kept, good staff, and excellent location, if you're coming in via Milano Cenrale rail station. It's literally a 5 minute walk away, just down the block from the McDonald's (southeast of the stazione). We were basically only there for the evening, in transit from Lake Como, due to fly out of Linate the next day. There was an asian market across the street, and a couple restaurants in the vicinity, one pizza place which seemed popular enough. Our hotel desk clerk, however, suggested we walk 15-20' to the Mediterranea Brassierie for dinner, and this took us through more deserted neighborhoods, which made my wife feel a little uncomfortable. The restaurant itself, however, was very good and also fairly popular with middle-to-upscale clientale. I guess these folks either walked, too, or taxi'ed or drove themselves. We chose to walk more busy main streets on our way back, which made a slightly longer walk, but a little more enjoyable. Hotel Berna's breakfast buffet was very, very good-- the best we had in Italy, considering that we stayed mainly at 3 star hotels. The usual eggs, meat, etc., but also lots of fresh fruit, pastries, and, curiously, desserts like panna cotta and tirumisu?! Because we "were hotels.com" customers, we were given two free 30min passes for WiFi access to the internet, which was all we really needed to check email and do our online check-in's for the airport. Not sure if that meant we would have gotten more-- or fewer-- minutes if we booked another way. We'd probably stay here again.

great hotel in a conveinent location. Friendly helpful staff and excellent breakfast.

Travelled as a couple and we found the hotel excellent. Staff were very friendly and organised tickets to the San Siro for us. The rooms are very clean and cool (important in Italian summers) The only shortcoming was that the rooms were smaller than we expected when looking at the sight. Although the location is right beside the main train/metro station, the street outside the hotel is frequented by ladies of the night throughout the day! However, as this hotel is much cheaper than many of its equivalents the staff, clean rooms and tremendous buffet breakfast make up for the small pointers above.

The hotel was great with very friendly, helpful staff. Our room was of a high standard and very clean. The down side to the hotel was the location at night! Prostitutes walked the streets from 7pm onwards, it has put me off staying there again

If you can live without internet for the price you are paying then it's a comfortable hotel with great breakfast.

The location of this hotel is prefect, it is about 5 mintues walk away from the Central Station and underground. Also the main street for local shopping is only half a mile away (not the top end shops). Staff are ever so helpful. Breakfast is brilliant, there are so many choices and it serve until 11am so you don't have to spend another 50 euros for lunch! We stayed in the superior room, the Non-alcoholic open bar and coffee bar is ONLY included if you book direct via their website, so we got stung for a bottle of water and 2 cans of soft drinks for 22 euros. The room itself is very dated, it looks like a B&B back in the 70s, it is very clean but the aircon was not working properly. The control will only go down to 27C, outside temp was 30C so I would not say it is fully aircon. My advice is to stay somewhere during the summer, the room gets very hot! I think this hotel is ok after all (if you book it with discount, i.e. stay 3 night and get 1 night free), will not pay full price for it tho.

LOVELY BREAKFAST

Hotel Berna is very well located, next to Central and Metro Stations.

We stayed here twice in the same month for a total of 9 nights. This hotel is very convenient to the Central Station and all public transport. The staff were excellent and most pleasant. They recommended local restaurants and checked travel schedules. Our room was most comfortable and everything worked! There was coffee and tea making supplies, complete with cookies, and a free non-alcoholic minibar in the room. These were restocked daily. The buffet breakfast which was included in the price was probably the best that I have encountered in Europe.

Charming well run hotel close to Central Station and Metro. Very helpful staff , wonderful buffet breakfast. A perfect place to stay in Milan. Rates very reasonable.

The hotel is located in a little side street 5 mins walk from Milano Centrale. In fact we had checked into the hotel 15 minutes after arriving from Florence. The room was comfortable with 2 pillows per person (Something my wife likes as she cannot sleep with 1 pillow!) An excellent breakfast in the morning set us up for the day. Only 2 minutes to the metro station for Milans excellent transport system 3 Euro for a day ticket. The only downside was the " ladies of the night " walking from the station to the hotel, this however metioned in most guidebooks.

We stayed in the Hotel Berna for one night just before leaving Italy for home, primarily because of it's close proximity to the Milan Central Train Station. The room was comfortable, and the air conditioning was great after the heat of the day. The room was clean and well appointed. The bathroom was a bit small, but not really a problem. Good wireless internet connection. The breakfast buffet was wonderful! The best we had at any of our lodgings in Italy. My only complaint was that the taxis at the train station would not take us to the hotel, because it was too close! This would not normally be a problem, but my wife had injured her foot earlier in the trip and a quarter mile pulling luggage along was slow and difficult.

Executive type room. Very nice.free mini bar of soft drinks welcome to weary travellers. Breakfast especially good and staff cheerful.Glad to note safety door to bedrooms which only responded to Residents key.Would recommend highly.

Great location close to main train station Walk to shopping. Good restaurant Limone 4 blocks away Stayed one night , clean efficient and recently redone. Great breakfast included

Very good, clean, comfortable hotel & really close to main railway station. Close to public transport and always easy to get back to central station. Excellent staff and free internet on four computers in lobby. Small number of working girls in street outside present no problem. Five different categories of room - hard to know which one you have been allocated - no indication of category on door of room. I think there should be.

Near the rail station with many restaurants around. Clean & Comfortable with a Fabulous Breakfast. Excellent, friendly staff. What more could you want?

Friendly staff, clean rooms with nice size bathrooms, every amenity needed including internet in the lobby. Breakfast was excellent and the train/subway station are 2 blocks away. Excellent choice if staying in Milan.

We were very happy with our stay at Hotel Berna. The Breakfast was the best we had in all of italy. A great selection for food. We also loved that the hotel had complimentary beverages in the mini bar at no charge! That is unheard of. The location was just great as well. Very close to the train station which was convienient for us and easy to walk to take the subway to see the Duomo and other sights. We would definetly stay here again! :-)
