Hotel Ariston - Milan

8.5

The Ariston is a really nice modern business-y hotel in a central location, the amenities were nice, the breakfast spread especially was really good, and in general provided a comfortable stay for our visit. Be aware, though, that this being Milan and the hotel being on a main road, there will be some noise in the mornings from the trolleys etc., it wasn't a big deal for us, but we are not the lightest sleepers.

8.9

Hotel is convenient to tram lines and less than 10-minute walk from the Duomo. The breakfast was among the best we had on the trip; it was quite varied. We enjoyed our stay, and wished that we had remained in the city more than 1 night.

3.9

the first time that we stay at the ariston hotel it was better, the romm was spaciouly and the employes was more competent We stay just 1 day in Milano

9.4

Lovely clean, contemporary hotel in the heart of the city. We highly recommend it.

9.5

i really enjoyed my experince at hotel ariston.

8.4

Hotel Ariston was a very good hotel to stay. Central location, nice, clean rooms, rich breakfast and helpfull staff. It would be excellent if the price was below 100 Euros :).

8.4

Private stay for shopping with a friend. Very nice breakfast but room on the treet side much too noisy !

9.9

Very good location for the Duomo area. Convenient to restaurants and shopping.

9.7

Fantastic hotel, superb location. will definatley use again

8.3

The hotel location is perfect , in a vey nice street and shopping area , walking distance to the central area of Dommo rooms are very small but clean , breakfast was reasonable. Prsonnel were not quite helpfull as regard touristic information. I will recommended it to my friends

4.6

the most striking comment is the noise, not only does the hotel lie on a very busy street, but we were also woken up at 6 am in the morning by housekeeping vaccum cleaning the room next door.

8.2

Great hotel, better than expected for the price.

7.7

Good location, close to the Dome (2 tram stations). Services not excellent, but ok.

6.5

Rooms were clean. Staff was efficient but not overly friendly. A little noisy, hotel is on a very busy street. Location for what we needed was ok. If in Milan for a short stay, this a good hotel.

6.1

Hotel très bien placé pour visiter le centre historique de Milan. Personnel très disponible (surtout à la réception)Mais hotel beaucoup trop bruyant avec le tramway qui passe devant. (Même fenêtres, à double vitrage, fermées) A fortement déconseiller aux personnes sensibles aux bruits.

7.8

While serving an excellent breakfast and having a very good location in relation to the Duomo etc., the service was mediocre. We were coping with lost luggage and the clerk only grudgingly called the airlines for us. The B&B is an easy walk from the Metro. We took a taxi and were taken the long way around to our hotel (16 euros!). Directions from the metro would be helpful.

7.1

Bad first impression. The staff member that "welcomed" us was extremely unfriendly (no "hello", no smile, just keys and a deep sigh).

6.2

Ariston was my second choice as my first choice offered free WiFi but was full. Overall experience was good but WiFi should be free or at least charged at a rate that bares some relation to the cost of provision say €5 per day.

7.9

the parking is very small at is imposible to reserver.

8.8

good positioned to the dome of milan and the shopping quarter. great rooms with flat tv and whirlpool. staff could be friendlier but for milan it's quite normal.would stay again

9.6

Very good hotel indeed.Close to centrum.

6.7

Hotel is very noisy so book only rooms on high floors to have chances to get asleep. This is the only problem of this hotel,the rooms and the staff are ok but I had the bad luck of getting a first floor.

5.0

Extremely noisy street-- room was at the front of the hotel, facing the many trolley, buses. Breakfast was quite nice. Deskpersonnel called a taxi-- that ripped us off. That wasn't much help. It is easy walking distance to the Duomo, and though the street is busy, it was pleasant.

8.1

I stayed in a tiny, but very good room. The only problem is that it was next door to the lift, so I got woken up by every guest who arrived on that floor. It was clean, service was very good, breakfast ok. Very central location.

8.0

The Hotel Ariston has an excellent location, very central, and within easy walking distance of Duomo, the Sforza Castle, La Scala, and so on; also it's in a neighborhood with many restaurants and pubs -- we ate in a different place every night, and even found a nearby market for simple meals such as bread, cheese and fruit. The traffic on Via Torino was a bit noisy, but the windows shut it out effectively at night. Their breakfast was very good, with particularly fine coffee. The staff were friendly and efficient, and spoke good English. It was also useful to have Internet facilities available, for booking our flight home.

7.7

Hotel was really central to all locations you would want to see during your stay. Staff were very helpful and the hotel was very clean. We had a great time in Milan and would definately stay at Ariston again without a shadow of a doubt.

9.3

Good hotel, but we had to drag our bags ourselves. no porter available at all. And the eleveator is down the steps. No ramp. Refused to not charge us for breakfast though we were leaving th hotel way before breakfast was ready.

7.8

Internet access does not seem to be free for hôtel customers (I didn't try)

7.2

Location is perfect about 10 mins walk from Duomo. However, the directions given by the website are dissapointing it took me about an hour or so to look for tram 2 from the central railway and finally found out that the line does not pass by this point anymore!The easiest way to reach the hotel is the metro get off Duomo and walk down Via Torino or take tram 14,3 from Via Torino (only 2-3stops).

8.6

Location is great--close to the Duomo and shopping, plus there are some nice resturants nearby. Our room was modern, clean and comfortable. Maybe a bit small for some, but we were fine with it. Only negative was that we could hear hear trams/traffic from our window at night. Breakfast was a nice buffet, complete with great coffee or cappuccino, and the gentleman in charge of the breafast room service was excellent. Like other areas of the hotel, very clean and welcoming. Milan is a great city, and if we ever come back, we will definitely stay at the Ariston.

7.2

the hotel was not bad. good location and easy access it's good just for bed and breakfast because the room was too small.

9.7

Great location great price and great service. Very modern hotel with a very good breakfast. The staff are fantastic.

9.4

tres bien situé par rapport au dome.qualité supérieure.

9.3

Hotel is situated just right down Via Torino (connecting the hotel with Piazza Duomo: with a good pace you walk this street in less than 7 minutes). A lot of shops and amenities in the surroundings. Room is small but who needs a bigger room when travelling anyway? Staff was corteous, and the breakfast was very good, serving excellent coffee and cappuccino, freshly-baked croissants etc. Italian newspapers were a welcoming bonus. In the middle of summer, I found their rates quite a bargain for the price and location. Will probably stay here again in my future trips to Milan.

7.9

I had a single room for 2 nights which was fine. It was a single bed but very comfy. The bathroom was clean and a good size. Although the room looked small at the start, I found there was plenty of space and the balcony was also a good size. The double room that a couple stayed in seemed small - only one person could pass by the end of the bed at once. The bathroom had a bath in but the balcony was about a third of size of one with single room. Although we didn't use it, the hotel bar looked good, and the lounge area was well equipped and air conditioned, which was very much welcomed after walking around in the heatwave. The only problem was the air conditioning in the double room which made a noise all the time and was not cold, no matter on the setting. The receptionist did get someone to look at it but it was still noisy. However we didn't push to change rooms which we should have done. It is near to the Duomo and only a short walk from the nearest metro. There are loads of shops/cafes/bars on the road leading up to the hotel but the rooms are quiet. We had a very enjoyable stay in Milan and we would definitely go back and stay at the Ariston.

6.5

Excellent location for exploring the centre of Milan. Offers an impressive variety of quality breakfast choices. Not quiet though - my room faced towards a street where the trains run and was very noisy all through the day and night.

8.6

A basic city hotel, near the big square, by shops and restaurants, clean, basic common areas - nothing big but ok. We'd stay there again.

5.8

The hotel was sufficient although the staff was not overly friendly.

9.6

Very good breakfast, excellent location

9.5

We stay in Milan fo two days. The hotel was wonderfull!Better than I imagine!! Breakfast was the best one of my month trip!!! It was like 5 blocks walking from Milano Duomo.We stay in a triple room, it was big, clean, the bathroom was excellent!! I really recomend this hotel.The quality versus price was excellent. Really, really nice.

8.5

Good basis to discover Milano. Located central with walking distance to all relevant hotspots. Rooms are small but proper and quiet. The staff is quite helpful and friendly. The central location is very expensive, 140 EUR for one night in this small room is nothing to be happy about...

8.7

Great location, good price.

8.4

good location, easily reachable by foot, secure area

7.0

Fantastic location near Duomo & trendy shopping and restaurants. Tram is at the door to the centre & sights - only 1 euro. Lobby & bar & breakfast area depicted well in photos - rooms not as modern with some traffic noise. Wireless available (not free), nice breakfast, very helpful staff & pleasant stay.

7.2

Nice hotel. Clean, well located. Though room was surprisingly small. But overall - nice (march, 2007)

7.8

Close to the centre of the city and nice modern rooms. Lacks a little character, but perfectly adequate for a short stay.

9.3

It's really a good place to stay for a short period in Milan....it's however a three stars hotel, my room was for a single person, bigger than others that are provided from this ranhe of hotels, such as in Florence for istance... Great relationship between price / quality for Milan... In the city center...very close to the Duomo and a nice borought (le Porte) for young people... I decided that i'll be go there for all my future business - trips in Milan....

9.0

Had agreat stay, would go back

8.7

small but good localization, clean, good service and reasaeble price. i would like come back.

2.9

The hotel and hotel room were considerably inferior to our expectations. The rooms were small and depressing and the bed was not double as promised, just two singles stuck together. The room condition was rather worn and tired. Internet access was not free at the lobby as advertised and the staff did not handle our complaint very well

6.9

We appreciate this hotel's concern for the environment, but we found it overrated from the accommodation perspective. Location is absolutely excellent (actually on via Torino, 5 mins. walk from the Dome) and again, we trust their environmental claims are true. Otherwise, the property looks OK, service is average (or slightly below), breakfast is included but rather on the cheap side. Lots of staff, little service - the ones at the reception desk could be a bit more considerate. Besides courtesy, this hotel is also missing a ramp for the luggage (so that a valet can help you).

8.9

Very good experience at Ariston Hotel, only say one thing, If I comes another time to milano, I will take a booking at the same hotel.

6.8

excellent breakfast staff really helpful and friendly always happy to book resturants and give directions caters for young families couples 2nd time to milan

7.8

Excellent location for a weekend trip. All important spots are within walking distance.

9.6

Good value for money

9.7

Great location!Extremely clean and pleasant. The room maybe a bit small, but not a real issue if you are out most of the time. Wonderful breakfast in terms of variety and quality. Loved the fact that they serve breakfast until 10:30am so there is no need to rush in the morning if you feel like sleeping late.

8.2

We had only booked at the Ariston for the first night of our arrival in Milan. Check in was listed as "the rooms are available at any time" and our room was not available until 3:00 pm. We were exhausted from our flight so our arrival was not as pleasant as we hoped; having to walk around the city and then sit in the lounge for an hour waiting for our room was unsatisfactory, otherwise the stay there was fine. There was some noise at night due to traffic and sirens but since it is located in the city it was what you might expect. Overall stay acceptable and would consider staying there again.

9.9

It was modern and comfortable with all amenities, and the ecological consideration were a plus. The one negative was that the 20 euro charge for use of the Jacuzzi was a bit pricy. The breakfast was standard, good selection of juices, cereals, chesses, cold meat, cheese, fruit, yogurt and fresh bread. Nibbles were also available in the bar area in the evening (we didn’t use them). The location was good, within easy walking distance of metro and a short walk to the Duomo and the city centre. Staff were friendly but with only one person on reception it got busy during checking out.

3.7

Bedroom and bathroom very small, with no view from window. Heating/air-con did not work well and room was too hot - even at end of October. Area noisy as on busy road, very few facilities, with bar closing early every evening. Staff on the whole unhelpful, and further from the Doumo than reported on website. On the plus, breakfast good. What would have made our stay better? Details of what to do and where to go (inc good places to eat) - particularly in the rooms, good maps of area with details of where trams go to from outside the hotel, and cards asking if guests want towels to be washed every day.

8.8

great room/great location! Friendly service.

9.8

The breakfast buffet was the best we have seen anywhere; loved the location of the hotel on the via Torino - very convenient. Staff was super nice. Came back to Milan to see Leonardo's Last Supper and the magnificent Duomo.

8.9

I stayed at the Ariston twice. The location is great, so close to the Duomo, La Scala and the Brera Museum. The staff is (mostly) friendly and very helpful. The rooms could use a few paint touch-ups, but were very clean. Bathrooms were spotless. My single room, though small, had a terrace! (Room 402). Breakfast was fine - nice selection of items and pleasant dining room. Had an atypical (not so Italian) meal (dinner) at Joia Leggero - probably the best service I've ever had, and it is within walking distance of the hotel.

7.0

Our stay was only for one night and it was good, our double room was huge. Our friend's single room was very tiny though. Breakfast was good and the location is very close to the Duomo. We read that they are all about environmentaly friendly products,ect and I didn't really see evidence of this- not a biggie for us though. fabulous price for the stay.

9.0

car park a little bit expensive 15 euors/day

9.1

Great hotel! Close to EVERYTHING in milano, walking-distance to all major attractions, very clean rooms, great bathroom, great breakfast, recommended for everyone, unless you are looking for luxury.

8.4

Very nice, clean hotel. Location is great for shopping. 10 min walking to the heart of Milano (Dumo).

8.4

Breakfast was excellent, variety better directions on how to get to hotel, very close to the Duomo, cleam BR, would return with the excellent price given by venere.

8.8

One of the 2 rooms bookes didn't match our requirements (too small and bad smell) but the staff immediatey found a solution and moved us to another room.

9.9

This was my first time here. The room was as described - clean, light and airy and spacious, complete with air conditioning. Location and access to central Milan was excellent. The staff were efficient, helpful & welcoming. Breakfast was excellent and there was plenty of it! My hosts in Milan were also able to stay for breakfast at a small additional cost. This was a very pleasant stay and would definitely return and recommend.

7.2

I stayed in a single room which was quite small. The breakfast was very good with a lot of choice.

8.4

The hotel is located into the center of the city, 10 minutes walk to Duomo. Parking is in front of the hotel, but not so many number of cars can park (better to check in as fast as possible!?). The service quality is really nice; same level as 4 star hotel. Receptionists are very warm and helpful. Great breakfast you can have (which is included into hotel fee). Only 2 thing that there are many mosquito in the room, but receptionist let to borrow pulg type bat control during my stay which they use at the front of hotel. No bite was made during the night, and had well sleep. Another is the noise of tram way (it runs just front of the hotel, and inside of Milano). I didn't care the level of noise but if you are sensitive to the noise, be careful.

6.9

We were frankly a bit disappointed with the Ariston after having stayed at another budget hotel in Milan. The location is not convenient unless you know how to work the tram system (pretty much every tram leaving the southwest corner of the Duomo piazza and traveling south will go by the hotel), with a long walk (if you are carrying bags) from any subway station. Perhaps the greatest disappointment was the service that we received; it is Milan and it was the middle of the summer, but I still expect a little more courtesy from hotel staff. The air conditioner failing for several hours one night in 30+C weather didn't help matters much. The rooms are also almost impossibly small, but for the price that has to be expected. All in all, I would suggest most couples spend a little bit more and go with a more convenient and friendly hotel.

9.3

Nice hotel with a cute , clean and rather spacious room. Big and clean bathroom with bathtub. Good location-15 minutes from Duomo when visiting the shops. Rich breakfast, nice staff, excellent relation price/quality.

8.4

Good hotel. More business oriented and very welcoming, good breakfasts. Good location, very convenient, good transport links, yet in a quieter area. Excellent value for money.

9.2

A very nice hotel and a great match for the price. It was very clean. The rooms are a bit on the small side but are nicely appointed and the bathrooms are very good. It is a 5-10 min walk to the main tourist area, the trolly stops right out front. The staff was very competent. The hotel supplied a nice breakfast

9.7

If there was a surprise hotel on this trip it was the Ariston in Milan. If offered an excellent location, within walking distance of all the major attractions of the Piazza and was on a fairly central and well lit avenue. The room was beyond our expectations and did all that we wanted in the best way possible. Considering the fact that the hotel was rated as 3 stars, it was a very good bang for the buck, and the breakfast that was served was also excellent. The staff was not only helpful but also quite knowledgeable with the surrounding and was able to recommend some activities and places to eat without any attitude or problems. An excellent place to stay on the overall.

9.1

The Ariston is perfectly placed. It is only a few minutes walk from the Duomo and, in the opposite direction, is close to some excellent places to eat. Unbeatable for the price.

9.4

Very nice place. Excellent value for money. The only problem was the noice coming from the street. But we knew this beforehand and took ear plugs with us.

9.0

Just a day. Very good. The hotel is well located, easy walking distance to various places of interest.

9.3

We had a great time at Ariston! Clean and big rooms, very helpful stuff and very central!!

6.8

It is a basic hotel in a good location. It doesn't have what they say on their website (e.g, no safe in the rooms). The elevater seems dodgy. It is a little bit noisy at night, especially if your room is facing the main street.

9.0

This was our first visit to Milan. The Ariston hotel was a good choise. Everything was just as we expected, the room was clean and beautiful. Also, the staff was great. They were very helpful and nice. We got very good restaurant recommendations from the reception. They helped us a lot in other issues also. And what was nice is that each of the staff we met at the reception were very funny!

8.9

The reception employee was very helpful to find a new tire for our car witch was cut by some guy on a motorcycle at a red light.

9.2

The location of the hotel is great. We could walk everywhere. We parked our car at the hotel and walked from The Last Supper to the Science museum, the Duomo etc. We spent 3 nights. The staff was wonderful. We had a blast!!!!

6.1

Good location if you have your own car as they have their own parking space. As anyone who drives to Milan knows parking and driving is a real bummer in Milan. For this alone it is a good hotel above average.

7.9

We stayed one night at the Hotel Ariston. Everything that we saw on the website was accurate except that the air conditioning did not work - it was very hot and humid, and staff was not responsive to our request! The breakfast was substantial. The hotel is walking distance to the Duomo, the "Last Supper," shopping, and restaurants. Bathroom is exceptionally small, hard to manuever but clean. Staff also helped with car pick from Malpensa airport - it worked out well.

8.9

excellent budget choice in an ideal location to visit milan on a short stay

9.2

The best breakfast on our whole honeymoon trip!!! A little noisy rooms because of the tram that passes but just five minutes from the DUOMO

7.8

Good and very nice hotel, clean and well located. If I'll go again to Milan, I'll book Hotel Ariston Again.

9.5

Great price on this website! The street is a bit empty at night but seemed safe. About 15 min walk to the Duomo. The hotel and rooms are very clean. I would stay there again.

9.1

wir waren zum Shoppen in Mailand und konnten uns kein besseres Hotel in dieser Lage vorstellen. Zum Bahnhof Nord, von wo aus man mit Zug zum Flughafen Malpensa gelangt, ist nahe (ca. 6 Euro mit dem Taxi). Klasse Restaurants in der Nähe und viele junge Leute, das Hotel war sehr sauber und für unsere Bedürfnisse (zum Schlafen) ausreichend.

5.7

The location, the size of the room, or other physical conditions are probably what one would get with this price in Milan. But the service can be improved more. I got a worst advice by one of the concierge, who adamantly told me that I should check out at 5am and catch 5:27am airport train in order to catch my flight. So I did. But there was no such train (the next one was 30 minutes after); the train station in such early in the morning was deserted and scary. Please be better informed and provide us a accurate information.

9.9

Had an excellent stay at the Ariston. Very good helpful staff, lovely clean rooms, and a very clean hotel. Breakfast was very nice. Excellent location. Will certainly be going back.

8.8

Perfect location for shopping and nightlife in Milan.

9.5

Perfectly located in the city centre, rooms are good even though not very spacious...nice modern bathrooms and very well equiped. The staff is kind, and the breakfast was very very good. I's a petty there is no place to park the car around the hotel and their parking is so small and expensive. But in the end I'd definitly go there again.

9.5

I enjoyed my stay at the Ariston. As others have said, the hotel is small, as are the rooms, but they are perfectly adequate with enough space for everything you need. The bathroom was modern, sparkling clean, good water pressure, and consistent hot water. The breakfast offered a wide-enough variety of good, fresh, nutritious and well-presented food that a hot, cooked-to-order meal was not missed. The staff is competent, welcoming, and helpful. The hotel is well-located within walking distance of just about anything you might want to see or do in Milan, including sightseeing, numerous restaurants, shops of all kinds, and bars offering the quintessential Milano "aperitivo." My only two problems were that the room was warm for my tastes because it was too early in the season for air-conditioning to be turned on so I went out and bought a fan, and that there was considerable street noise because the hotel is so well-located in the city, but earplugs are always your friend. I had to return to Milan a couple of weeks later, and chose to stay at the Ariston again without hesitation.

9.6

Couldn't believe how close we were to the Duomo, 5 mins walking distance! Room was very good for a 3 star and the staff recommended and booked a fantastic restaurant for us.

8.6

Well located hotel, close to tram routes and the Duomo. The hotel is no beauty but it was clean, efficient and gave us all we wanted for our short stay. The breakfast was excellent and the staff very helpful. The hotel is situated on a busy thoroughfare and you need to keep windows closed.
