Carlyle Brera Hotel - Milan

Great breakfas!

Second stay at Carlyle Brera. Room was fine, front desk service excellent. Breakfasts good. We like the location.

First impressions of the hotel are the reception. In this case, a guy called Christian, who has a very unfortunate superior demeanour. After checking out of the hotel but waiting in reception for our taxi we went to use the toilet. This guy chased my daughter and I into the toilet and asked if we we guests! I have used the hotel in the past because of its convenient location, the rest of the staff are pleasant and the hotel facilities are adequate for a short stay. But this is not the first experience of this guy's attitude having irritated me and this last episode has made me reconsider staying at the Carlyle Brera again

Garage i care

I love the option of the Pillow menu. I requested a down pillow and it was delivered in 5 min. Internet access was simple and free!

A very good hotel to stay at, it is located in the Brera district which as lots of bars and restaurante nearby and is also very good for shopping. The Duomo area is about a 20-25 minute walk but it is a pleasant walk and there are plenty of shops to browse en-route. Our room was comfortable and big enough for our purposes.

It's in a very nice area but I was annoyed by a mosquito biting me in the room. The tv free view box didn't work properly even after it was looked at so I gave up. So mostly the tv for offer was in Italian. Breakfast very good and the staff welcoming in the morning. Not the greatest if you don't speak Italian. Internet free but patchy in signal, not the greatest as i needed it for work. You can hear through the walls to the other rooms very easily. I wouldn't say it is 4 star more like 3.

Good hotel in a very nice area of Milan (lot of restaurants, bars, ...) and with service oriented personnel. I recommend it.

This is a nice and elegant hotel at the centre of Milan. Clean, welcoming and spacious. It was a pleasant stay.

Huge clean rooms, walking distance to practicaly everything! I strongly reccomend it to anyone!

Great location, loved the Brera area, it's where local people go shopping, and you can find lots of Italian local brands there. good breakfast!

Very pleasantly surprised about this hotel. The rooms were spacious, spotlessly clean and recently renovated. In fact I thought it was a new hotel. The location is unbeatable. Walking distance to Duomo, shopping district and everything else! Plus it is only a few steps away from a Metropolitana stop (Moscova), which itself is only 2 stops on the direct line from Cadorna Station (where the Malpensa Express goes to). Plus there are many wonderful little trattoria nearby, as well as trendy bars and restautrants. I will definitely go back to this hotel.

Modern, very comfortable rooms with plenty of space, clean bathroom, and nice furnishings. Great breakfast included. Bed was typically hard, but extra pillows provides more comfort. Quite a good deal for the price! Excellent location is steps from Metro line 3 (2 stops from Milan central station) and half block from popular piazza with bars and restaurants (and market); also close to Brera museum and easy walk to Castello Sforzesco. Staff is straight-forward, nice, and helpful, but not fake. Wireless internet worked in lobby, though not so well in room. All in all, I will definitely stay here when I return to Milan.

Carlyle Brera Hotel is within an easy walking distance to the historic city center and shopping. The staff were very professional and helpful. I would stay again.

This is a maximum 3-star hotel no bar, no room service, nothing apart from a parking for EUR32 per day and breakfast

All in all a good experience: nice, clean, modern, spacious. The room was furnished a little bit dark for my liking, but there was strong lighting to make up for it. Easy to find and reach, very conveniently located just at the exit from the Moscova Metro station.

The staff were excellent and very helpful. The room itself was overall quite good, but the temperature of the room was difficult to control.

I was there with my family and it was escellent

Great hotel - would recommend even though a little pricey.

My friends and I had an excellent stay at this hotel. The breakfast was delicious, with plenty of choice and the staff were very helpful and pleasant. We made use of the 'pillow menu', and the jacuzzi bath was a welcome surprise. The location is fantastic, many bars within walking distance, and we highly recommend the 'bread and breakfast' bakery. 6 euros for a glass of wine and an all you can eat buffet in the evening...

Some rooms out of WiFi reach. Even if you forget, Laundry may remind your room number with largely written NUMBER on the shirts; this was not happening until Nov/2007. Thanks to competition, many of surrounding bars, pizzerias, restaurants offer good quality. Intensita' di WiFi depende da camera. Non dimentichi il numero della camera perche' biancheria ti segna il numero su tutte le camicie. Si mangia bene in zona, grazie a concorrenza.

The staff was excellent and the facility was great. I only have one complaint, the bed was hard and uncomfortable.

The hotel staff was friendly, courteous and knowledgeable. When asked for a recommendation for dinner, the restaurant was great and they even made reservations. The location is central to most of the sights and the metro. I’d stay there again if I were to return to Milan.

Exellent location in the middle of Brera, everything in walking distance.

The guests in the room next to ours might as well have been in the room with us. We could hear every word of their conversation, which was upsetting. Also, dividers of some sort should be installed between balconies . . . to provide some semblance of privacy.

The hotel is in a very good position and the employees are really very kind.I paid a really good price may be also for the period I went there.

Visited Milan for only 2 days during a recent weekend w/ 2 friends. The location of the hotel was just perfect. On a quiet street but still close to the center (10min by walk on cosy streets). One of the most popular pubs and nice restaurants just a few steps away. 15-20min walk till the Duomo and main attractions. Excellent service. Breakfast included (continental but enought choise till 10:30am). The only issue we experienced there was no sign where is the Hotel parking - we found by mistake thinking it was a pay parking on the other street behind the hotel. Do not be surprised if the car key is taken away from you until your last day stay. We felt like movie stars whose car is parked by a Boy.

The front desk is not the most friendly place in Milan. The breakfast can be richer. Not fresh vegetables at all.Rooms are clean.Bathrooms look pretty old. Nice access to main interesting places in the city. A lot of nice restaurants nearby.

A very nice hotel in a good position, extremely pleasant staff who were expecting us. Wonderful breakfast. definitely a place to stay in Milano. Convenient nearby resturants.

Eccellente albergo, centralissimo e confortevole, personale qualificato e gentile excellent hotel, in the heart of Milan and very confortable. Good staff members.

Excellent value and perfect for the business traveler.

Great hotel. excellent in every aspect. very clean. It's a high end hotel. Surely I will come back again.

Carlyle Brera was very pleasant place to stay. Breakfast very good. Room size was excellent. Metro stop right beside Hotel. Excellent meal at the Officina 12 restaurant in the Navigli District. Also had great chinese meal at restaurant off Via Dante. Went to San Siro Museum and also went to a football match which was great.

The room was just enough for a bed

Some personal on reception staff (specially a couple of man) are very little pleasant. The rest of hotel staff, and specially the women on breakfast room are very pleasant and efficient.

I have never been so rudely treated by a hotel staff before. One front desk attendant was extremely nasty. They were dishonest on two occasions and one staff member needs anger management classes. He should not be behind the desk. The hotel is clean and comfortable and well located, but the staff makes it impossible for me to ever recommend this hotel to anyone..

Great location, just in the Brera quarter. Just outside the hotel there is an underground station. Large room, too expensive internet connection (€ 5 per h) and there is not any printer available. The employees at the bureau are not so gentle. The location is too good and so I'll be back there.

We booked Hotel Carlyle Brera 'cos of its location, right next to a subway station. It is also within walking distance to the Duomo. Very pleased with that :) The hotel's breakfast buffet is substantial too.

Nice facility and great location but the staff was not friendly.

Yes in the future i will come back again in this hotel

I would definitely stay in this hotel again as I have many times previously. It is very conveniently located for the centre of Milan and extremely comfortable to stay in.

The location is excellent in terms of accessability. We were at the edge of the Brera district, giving access to many good restaurants. The Metro is just outside the door of the hotel. The area is nice, and we fully recommend the hotel with one major reservation - there is no airconditioning and the heating was unbearable some nights. We were unable to turn it off. You can open the window, but then you have the traffic noise. If this doesn't put you off, the breakfast is excellent; we found the staff courteous and professional; the location although quiet is still very central and Milan is certainly worth the visit.

I had a double room for single use. The bathroom was perfect for 1 people but much too little for 2 people.

Guys dont bother and book here without worries, one of the best hotels around 100euro/night that u can get in Milano, only 2 metro stations from duomo, personnel will treat u excellent, would definitely recommend it than spending 20euro less and not knowing what comes ahead...a real 4* hotel

Very competent staff , kind and professional

Great Location.....lots of restaurants.

I'm referring to my previous stay in january..infact this year for personal reasons i had to cancel the reservation. The hotel was so customer centric since they didn't charge me any penalty so i'll suggest this hotel also from this standpoint.

The hotel was nice and comfortable, the only thing is that when you come you have to speak at least a little bit italian to defende yourself because some people treat you bad if you dont!!

I have been to Milan on many occasions and stayed in quite a few different hotels but this hotel is one of my favourites and would stay there on most occasions.

I was on business trip, this was the first time at hotel. Hotel services and facilities are fine except the ventilation of the room which was poor and not adjustable and all windows are locked close (room was too warm inspite of heating being off and "aircon" on all the time)

Veramente dispiacuto di questo Hotel. La camera per un hotel 4 stelle fa sciffo....Bagno con doccia! Il prezzo del parcheggio non ne parliamo 32euro per una notte ma che scherziamo! Ho pagato 12euro in un altro hotel 4 stelle a Milano dunque.... Il personale era comepete e simpatico dipende dal orario di arrivo. Il prezzo per la caemra non li valeva. Lo consiglio pro a giovani che voglio fare festa a milano xche e vicinissimo al quartiere Garibaldi.

Unlike previous reviewers, we found the staff to be very friendly and helpfull, particularly the waitresses at breakfast. Very good night life in the area, but also a nice quiet room.

Hotel is well situated, in walking distance to the city center and next to a subway station. Possibility to leave the car - 30€ per day (I know it's Milan but 30€!!). Room was okay for the price paid but not beautiful in no way. Breakfast was outstanding good.

The hotel is in a great central location, rooms were clean but there was an unpleasant odour coming from the bathroon .. we suspect it was the biddet. The inclusion of an all you can eat breakfast buffet was a great bonus, lots of fruit to make up for all the breads and pastas that you end up eating throughout the rest of your meals in the city. Service at front desk was kind of abrupt but I think is to be expected of the culture.

+ das hotel liegt super, man kann alles zu fuß erreichen und ist nicht mal auf die metro, die 50m entfernt liegt, angewiesen. das brera viertel bietet zudem zahlreiche bars und restaurants und im sommer spielt sich das leben bunt gemischt auf den strassen ab. aber auch zum dom und den zahlreichen geschäften kann man gut laufen. ich würde auf jeden fall nochmal in das haus gehen. - das frühstück ist an wochenenden sehr voll und hektisch; das bad ist relativ klein und könnte moderner sein

We had a very pleasant stay at this hotel. The location provided short walks to all the major sights, and easy access to trains and metro. There were many excellent restaurants nearby. The breakfast buffet was comprehensive.

This is a well-run business hotel in an excellent location near the Brera area and only two minutes from the metro green line. The breakfast is generous and good quality. I alway stay there when I can. The desk staff are rather abrupt but always efficient. There is parking for a fee.

The hotel is well located. Good breakfast.We did not like the employees of the reception.

Realmente el hotel esta muy bien. Cerca del centro, en una zona muy buena, con bastante lugares para tomar algo y muy cercano al metro.

Good value for money at web price paid. Good facilities, close enough to main city sights but not too busy surrounding area. Good breakfast and pleasant room - free internet access very useful for flight check in etc.

Frühstückraum hat eine ganz spezielle Atmosphäre. Vom Hotel aus ist man in ca. 20-30 Minuten im Zentrum von Mailand. Sehr gute Restaurants in der Nähe.

Must have wifi for internet in your room public net is in lobby which is cold in winter garage 30eu night very high w/o warning do not ask for resturants bad advice location great for public transit breakfast better than most good desk area in room great bathroom very jerky elevator

Lo consiglio a chi vuole un ottimo hotel a due passi dalla Milano notturna e dal centro. I suggest this hotel to who is looking for an hotel close to the nightlife and the city center

Stayed at this hotel for the milano marathon. The location is perfect. Nice area next to the train station. Was reccomended a restaurant nearby with local italian food called "Stenhal". It was the best dining experience of 4 years living in this country.

Buona la localizzazione la pulizia , la cortesia, la colazione. La cameràperò era piccola: io prenoto una tripla pur avendo un bambino e potendo risparmiare col letto aggiunto per anvere più spazio, ma quasi dovumìnque csi tratta di una doppia col divanoletto, non di un posto in più; inoltre se il rapporto costo /camera, 130€, è buono considerata la posizione, ritengo un furto 30€ a notte per l'auto, scoperto e angusto tanto da dover sempre chiamare il personale per spostare le altre auto, connesso con la hall dalle scale ( con valige) o dall'ascensore pure angusto della zona lavanderia, tra i carrelli della biancheri.Ci sono poi ancora lavori nella via di accesso che rendono difficile raggiungere l'albergo con l'auto Mariano Morello

The rooms and bathrooms are on the small side but well designed and comfortable, although the ventilation could have been better in one case. The location of the hotel is excellent---right next to a metrostop---with lots of good shopping in the neighborhood. The breakfast is excellent, including scrambled eggs and bacon in addition to the standard fare; the coffee and hot water were not always hot enough, however. The staff was competent and helpful if a bit too "big city professional" for our taste. The eventual bill was a few euros higher than the quoted price; we did not inquire as to the reason for that, but it did not involved any extras such as minibar or telephone charges.

The price for the parking should be communicated at arrival (23EUR)

No one informed me that the roads infront of the hotel was under construction. Taxi had to stop in a NON-Stopping zone in order for us to bring down our luggage to the hotel, by ourselves, itout much difficulty.

Great Hotel Location is unbeatable - while the hotel is clean and it delivers on its four stars with beautiful breakfasts and knowledgable, friendly staff.

Las fotos no hacen justicia: el tamaño de la hab. doble bien, el de la triple muy muy bien, los baños justitos...pero todo muy limpio y acojedor. El desayuno muy completo, excelente. El personal muy atento. La pena es que la calle de acceso y alrededores estaba todo en obras! Volveremos el año proximo.

The staff was welcoming, friendly, and competent. We loved the contemporary design of the rooms and public areas, the neighborhood with small but fancy shops, good restaurants. Subway next to the hotel (to railway station etc.) We would love to return!

BASICALY OK.

L'hotel est bien situé dans le centre ville mais en raisond es travaux sur le corso garibaldi, on aeu pas mal de bruit rt des difficultés d'accès. Et puis, la veille nous étions dans un 3 etoiles en periférie (hotel agape) dont les chambres étaient bien plus agréables et bien plus spacieuses pour un prix bien inférieur. mais bon dans l'ensmble, un bon rapport qualité-prix!

The hotel has no restaurant service or/and room service. The hotel bar has almost no service at all?!?

Exactely as describe on the site. Perfect stay.

Our stay at the Carlyle Brera was excellent. The hotel is clean, quiet and comfortable. The location is fabulous. Restaurants and interesting shops surround. The Pinoteca is a short walk, while La Scala, the Galleria, and Duomo are a nice stroll away. In addition, the hotel is close to the Cadorna station where the train from Malpensa terminates. (We walked, with our bags, but I would recommend a cab (e10-15.)) The staff was courteous and efficient. I think we got a great deal on a fine hotel through your website. I stayed again at the hotel while passing through on my way out of Italy. I have to say the fifth floor room away from the elevator was quieter than the 1st floor.

Very helpful professional staff. Room very comfortable and the breakfast was excellent. Will be recommending it to friends.

Milan e' un gran Milan, That's what We usually said in ITALY about our best City for Finance & Commerce. And That's particullary true in the BRERA zone, where you can also enjoy the Life Style, the Luxury Store, the Musueum PINACOTECA di BRERA and il CENACOLO not far away from the HOTEL, and a lot of good Restaurant. The HOTEL is very OK !!!, and not expensive considering You stay in MILANO.

The hotel was easy to find. Its right next to a metro station. The rooms were very nice and the staff was extremely helpful. I would go there again and recommend it to anyone.

Beautiful hotel,pleasant and helpful staff well recommend!splendido!

Excellent value for the price offered, for italian hotel excellent breakfast buffet. Nice and clean rooms. Next time in Milano I will stay again at the Carlyle Brera Hotel.

Good value hotel for the discounted price paid. Friendly& helpful staff. Would certainly stay there again.

Excellent hotel in central location. Service was top class and would have no problems recommending to friends

We had a pleasant stay here but the bar was not open or the resturant for lunch. I hope this will be only temperary

Perfect service. Great breakfast! Free bicycles. Milan is a great town to ride a bike in. The traffic is very calm and not at all as in Rome or sothern Italy.

Very nice hotel, friendly staff, good place to stay in Milan

Helpful english speaking staff, very clean and well kept rooms and right next to underground station

Excellent breakfast, first class service. Problem with air-con not available at this time of year. Had to leave window open - front room - very noisy all night. Very helpful staff. Safe parking (expensive - 25 euros). Easy walk to centre.

I found the hotel very centrally located. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful and I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed my stay there and would definitely stay there again.

Brera area,Duomo,Garivardi area...It can keep walking almost in the main place. In addition,Moscova station,it can go in 2 minutes.The night not to be insecure that much, the restaurant of cheap Italian is a vicinity.Is not romantic, but intellectual, modern, the comfortable hotel.

La zona de Brera es excelente, el Hotel es correcto y la relación calidad - precio buena. El servicio de Parking es caro.

Very good stay, very nice hotel and it was very cheap to me. The room I got was better than what you see in photos.

Un ottimo hotel, a parte la colazione che non è granchè e il personale un pò antipatico..

Rooms very clean, staff very polite and helpfull, small reception area meant congestion at arrival and departure.

It was very cheap for the good quality hotel and the emplacement.The breakfast was excellent in quality and quantity.

Il prezzo è buono, ma è la camera piccola.

Hotel was fine, everythihg as you would expect. lots of choice at breakfast buffet, fast and efficient room service. great location.

Beautifully comfortable and private, and centrally situated in a typical Milan district. No hidden extra charges, abundant and fresh breakfast.

Very nice Hotel, very clean. We come back. only the orange jus, which is included in the breakfast looks like a fantasy and chemical stuff :-) but we ordered a fresh orangejus and then: it was okay

Superb all round service. Excellent for non Italian speaking English guests.
