I had absolutly no issues at all but there was an issue with my friends room. In the toilet he actually found a towel with poo in it. It could be a missed laundry . I had no issues at all though. Everything was fine especially the staff.

My recent stay in this hotel was a mix of positive and disappointing experiences, falling short of what I expect from a 4-star establishment.
The Negatives:
- Upon arrival, I discovered long hairs inside the duvet cover, which was very off-putting.
- No slippers were provided in the room. When I requested them, I was given two pairs of the cheapest, lowest quality variety, which felt inadequate for the hotel's rating.
- Although I added breakfast to my booking for an extra charge, I faced a recurring issue every morning. A staff member at the restaurant repeatedly questioned whether breakfast was included in my package, requiring me to go to reception for verification. After this happened three times, I became so frustrated that I gave up and had breakfast elsewhere.
-The shower area was extreamly small with awful curtin
The Positives:
-The general staff were polite and helpful.
-The quality of the breakfast food itself, on the occasions I accessed it, was very good.
-The hotel's location is near shopping center and location is convenient.

Far location
Only one thin pillow for each of us. Room was small but manageable. Staff very nice. Biggest problem: only 2 electrical outlets. Not sufficient these days. Also, location far from attractions and no restaurants close by

Very clean and modern looking hotel with good sized rooms, which were spruced up each morning. Clean towels provided daily. Pillow range quite poor for size of the bed, and toiletries are of a poor standard with shampoo and shower gel quite cheap and the toilet roll very low quality.
Attemped to purchase snacks at 11.30pm, as timings state they are available until 12am, however, staff would not serve me snacks at this time, no recommend an alternative. No access to vending machines or similar which would allow access to 24hr snacks without the need for staff.
Area was very close to the metro station which is very easy to navigate towards main centre and other areas.
For location and a decent nights sleep, this is a good hotel, but for a 4 star hotel, there are some elements that are lacking and this leans more towards a generic basic national hotel chain.

Walking in the property looks great. Staff was super friendly. Breakfast was good. The bar food menu was limited to frozen foods. The rooms and upstairs hallways were dirty and not well kept. Pretty sure the photos are outdated. The carpets were stained and gross to the point where l didn’t want to take my shoes off. There was mold in the shower. The room smelled like they put car air fresheners in there to cover up other smells. The walls were dirty the bed was very uncomfortable. It was close to the metro though. We won’t stay again.

Never again
Our first room was so small it didn’t even fit our luggage and there was black mould all around the shower base and long black hairs on the towels so we asked them to change room. They brought us to our second room, which was a little bit bigger but again the shower had black mould all around the base. So we asked them again to change rooms and they finally put us on the ninth floor, where they said all the rooms were renovated. This room was larger, cleaner and had no mould in the shower. The service at reception was very good. They accommodated us with the changing of the rooms, but this hotel is situated in a poor area, which will make me never ever want to go back to this area in Milan.
