Milano hotellit Porta Romana

Plussat: Nice & quiet residential neighborhood.

Miinukset: Not walking distance to the historic sites, 2 stations away by metro. Long walk going to Metro station.

Plussat: Clean new rooms, comfy furnitures. Friendly staff. 10 min on foot to porta romana metro station

Plussat: It's so much bigger than it looks, I was so surprised with the quality of the studio apartment. I loved it! Photos and description totally match what is given however they give the impression of being a smaller accommodation. Very comfortable bed, spacious areas, very clean. Well equipped. Good WiFi. Friendly staff! The neighborhood is great, safe and quiet. Metro and tram stops nearby (2 stops away from Piazza del Duomo). Supermarket just around the corner. A lot of restaurants in the area too. Good quality-price relation. Will definitely stay again whenever I go back to Milan.

Plussat: I liked that the property agreed my wishes. The office manager (a lady) was friendly and efficient. I like the appartments, which are new and fonctionnal. Last but not least, I also liked that there were 2 bottles of water. A nice way to welcome guests - when you arrive and you haven't had the time to buy something to drink - they provided it for you!

Plussat: Nice people Nice bathroom Facilities to cook yourself

Miinukset: Slow stove

Plussat: Great location. Veronica very helpful. If l was looking for a fault it's not with the apartment or building but the people above us. They had no consideration for others sleeping.This is NOT the management's fault. Maybe a sign in the Apartments to remind people to be kind. We would stay again. Thank You.

Miinukset: Everything was fine. Just as l said you can hear people and kids through the walls.This is not management's fault.

Plussat: Very clean and comfortable, excellent facilities in the room. Very helpful staff.

Miinukset: Neighbors a little noisy. No one on reception to assist with getting a taxi. The machine for calling one was in the office and unaccessible. A very very helpful cleaning lady assisted in calling a taxi to get me to the airport.

Plussat: Very comfortable, lovely staff and clean.

Miinukset: The air conditioning was not very effective combatting Milan’s extreme heat.

Plussat: Special accommodation with very well curated rooms. Nice common areas. We loved the bar and all the fresh food that was available there during the entire day. Beautiful garden. There is a selection of good restaurants in walking distance. Air conditioning worked well even if it was 40+ degree outside.

Miinukset: This is complaining on a high level. For my taste the pillows could have been better. I found them a little too high and firm. But everyone has different preferences. A selection of pillows would be ideal. The internet didn´t work in our room, only in the common areas. It didn´t matter so much for us, but if this is important to you please be aware that you have to go to the common kitchen or the bar area for free wifi.

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: It is very basic

Plussat: The farmhouse to “small boutique hotel” concept is very appealing and the property, restaurant and bar all supported a unique environment that is an oasis in the city. The restaurant food was very good and the spacious open air gardens and outdoor seating inside a walled enclave really added to the concept of a refuge. The staff were helpful and friendly.

Miinukset: This is less about what I didn’t like and more about some minor changes/upgrades that would make a positive difference for travelers that stay there. 1. Because the room we had for 2 people was very small and had no en-suite bathroom facilities, adding hooks and towel racks on the walls in the rooms, more shelving/storage space and mirrors would make it a lot easier for travelers to stay organized and feel less constrained by the limited space. 2. Although the website indicated breakfast was provided, because neither the restaurant or bar is open until 10 or later in the morning, there was no breakfast. There is a shared space for hotel guests to make coffee and eat food that they themselves provide. Considering the full kitchen restaurant and bar, how difficult would it be for them to provide some fruit, breads and yogurt in the morning. Every other hotel we stayed at (8) managed to provide breakfast. We were disappointed and annoyed that this was not included. Also, that section of the common space was not kept as clean/tidy as it should be. 3. Although we recognize that this is a cultural distinction and that a large percentage of Italians smoke, we wished that there could be some outdoor seating that was off limits to smokers. The blue haze that hangs over the area forced us inside even though it was a beautiful evening. In general, we encountered smokers everywhere and it was disappointing from a purely health point of view but also because every one around a smoker is also subjected to their smoke. 4. The beds were very comfortable and we applaud the hotel’s eco pursuits. Although we spent only 2 nights there, we thought the hotel should still service the room and detached bathroom. We had to look around for toilet paper, which we did find. Our stay was quite enjoyable , but some of the above minor adjustments would make all travelers stay more comfortable and result in a higher rating.

Plussat: I liked lying in bed staring up 20 feet to the ridge beam. I was a carpenter for many years and a building inspector. I look at structure and how it's put together. Also, this place gave me a convenient location for access to the inner city and the archaeology museum, the reason I was there.

Miinukset: I didn't like being in Milano in the dark trying to find Un Posto. My Italian is improving every day on this 7 week trip to the north, and I was forced to ask directions multiple times. I even asked a Milano policeman where I was ( I had a map ). The officer couldn't read a map. Amazing ! I always carry a language pocket dictionary in my cargo pants when I travel, which is roughly 2 months a year.

Plussat: Cool place, excelente restaurant and the bedrooms are OK. Cheap cool option

Miinukset: Thought it would be a little better from the pictures...

Plussat: Bedsheet and toilet are clean.

Miinukset: Found a little cockroach hanging around the wall in bedroom after a short nap during the day. Going down to the restaurant for info, and figured out staff can barely speak English, gave us a number to call for hostel management, but after 4 calls, they were never answered and only entered voicemail. Overall bad service.

Plussat: No one was available at check in but we had good instructions to pick up the key at the bar and get up to our rooms. The communal kitchen area has coffee and a mini fridge, as well as a table where we enjoyed our take out dinner from the bar and played cards. The beds were comfortable. The location is handy, close to the Lodi metro station. Roberta was very helpful when we wanted to leave our bags for the afternoon after check out. The food, drink and staff at the bar were all very good.

Miinukset: The rooms were clean but the place is more hostel-y than the pictures show. The shower in our friends room did not work. The walls are so thin you can hear someone's conversation in their rooms. It is a bit on the pricey side for such basic accommodations.

Plussat: - The room was spacious and the beds were quite comfortable - There´s a nice athmosphere at the property, and it is a pictoresque venue - It´s few metro stops away from the city center (also walking is ok), and there are nice restaurants/markets in the area

Miinukset: - The room is definitely overpriced given what other properties in the area offer for less or comparable fees. - As there´s no reception, you will need to call/text them even if you need toilet paper, because the room cleaning is not given by default. - It can be quite noisy in the morning as the kitchen area is just outside the door.
