B&B Hotel Milano Sant'Ambrogio, Milan

The hotel is situated in the center, close to museums and relatively close to the Cadorna railway station (though I took a taxi to get there because it was very early in the morning). The person at the reception desk was polite and helpful. What I didn't like was the room which was cold and very basic. The room was cold literary - I was trying to set temperature and the option for heating simply did not work. The floor was of cold tiles (which also did not look like recently wiped). Tiles are great during the hot summer but in winter rather unpleasant. I chose the hotel because I assumed B&B means free breakfast but since it turned out it is served for an additional charge, I gave up. Perhaps my impression was influenced by the fact that just before I arrived in Milan, I was staying in an excellent Bed and Breakfast in Verona, which was also cheaper.

My stay in Milan was great, and I’m large part due to the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff.

The room had a good size for Europe standards. Everything new , clean and modern. Comfortable with all needed in the room. I would just eliminate the stairs at the entrance is hard when carrying heavy luggage.

The hotel was great in terms of being modern and in good shape. We did have some ants in our room but otherwise was very clean and orderly. It's the typical European hotel room where it's fairly small and not a lot of extra room, but that's ok, we weren't there most of the time anyway. We really only used it to sleep and shower and for that it was great. We had a really nice balcony but the view was only so-so. Very quiet neighborhood though so that's good if you want to relax. It was a nice neighborhood but not super close to most of the Milan highlights, except for Santa Maria Della Gratzie (where the Last Supper painting is) and the Leonardo Di Vinci Museum of Science and Technology, and the Leondardo Di Vinci Vineyard. It was great for being on a budget though so if you're looking to stay in a nice place for less money, it's a very good option.

Great place to sleep and clean up before you get on down the road, which is exactly what our plan was to do. No frilly creature comforts...just a clean room with decent bathroom.
