Hotel Demò - Milan

Location was great,near trains,buses and trams so access to everything was easy. The family room was spacious and clean. Breakfast was good and the staff helpful. Would be happy to stay there again. We stayed four nights and had no problems.

I will remember Demo Hotel as my worst hotel stay I ever had. The breakfast is poor and terrible, even the bread is from packages. The rooms are ok. Because of refurnishing it was quite noisy. In need of a room for new customers the woman at the reception was very boring and disturbing with the aim to get us out already before 10am. Leaving the hotel was more escape than departure. Especially we lost time at the breakfast because bread was finished and needed to be baked up. This is not a nice and the right way to behave to guests. Demo Hotel never again!

Get here only if strictly necessary (other hotels are full booked and it's the only one in station surroundigs). the surroundings are orrible, rooms as small as you can imagine; no air conditioning, only a broken not working fan... and nothing about quietness.

Room was dirty, noisy! The bathroom was stinking,fusty! The hotel havent a lift!!!! Havent a breakfastroom the tabels are by entance.

There is not a climate controle in the rooms! it's only in the reception. with 35° in milan we spend the night waiting to leave in the day after.

I traveled with three friends to look at the football game between Inter and Barcelona Champions League semi-finals. We spent a great and were delighted with the service. The hotel is situated in an excellent location, close to metro. Italy is a beautiful country, and Italian girls are beautiful:) Hello everyone

One of the receptionists was surly, and lazy compared to the lady and other gentleman. Compared to the room we are now staying in in Madrid - also booked thru Venere - the rooms in Italy are old and cramped.

I often go to milan for concerts and the next time i'll be there i will absolutly go to the Demò hotel!

I'm from Chile. My wife and me spent one night al this hotel. We had many problems, for example: 1) There are not elevator (problems with our luggage). 2) The breakfast room is very little and it is in the same reception hall. 3) The breakfast is very poor. 4) I had many problems with heating. Sincerely i would not return to this hotel.

Very bad welcoming, difficult for breakfast, no hot water on 3 floor, terrible receptionist.

The hotel is convenient for 1 night stay - close to Central Station (walking distance even with luggage). The room was really simple (single on the first floor), but ok to sleep and have hot shower. Breakfast - as usual - coffee plus snack.

The obvious advantage was proximity to the station. But shouldn't a hotel offer a min comfort. Our 1st floor room was so poorly walled that the whole night we could hear the sounds of cars & ambulances in the streets below. We asked for a couple of glasses & he offered plastic glasses. When i asked for a decent glass, he refused saying that they have very few required for next day's breakfast. The less said about the breakfast- the better. All in all, we as a family managed since we spent less than a day in the hotel & the 3 star rating seems to be falsely accorded. Definitely not recommended!

The only complain I have is the absence of an elevator, because our room was on the second floor and we had to go up the stairs with our heavy baggage.

The first night we stayed in a room facing Via Tonale, there was only a ceiling fan and we suffered terrible heat (the sun hits the room all day long) and noise (from the street) all night. It was hell. The second night they moved us in another room with AC, but we almost didn't even need it because the sun didn't it that one much and the room was cooler. Breakfast is less that average, and you take it in a small and overcrowded area where it's difficult to move. In the end I couldn't even pay with credit card. Overall very bad experience.

L'hotel est idéalement situé, à une centaine de mètres de la gare centrale(+bus reliants tous les aérorports de Milan) et des métros: pratique pour les courts séjours et visites d'un weekend. Le quartier est sans plus, l'hotel est sur une grande avenue donc les chambres donannt sur la rue doivent être très bruyantes. Nous avions réservés deux chambres (double et triple), les deux étaient dans un bâtiment derrière l'hôtel, accessible par cour (ce qui est surprenant car il n'y a que quelques chambres de l'hotel dans l'immeuble). Les chambres étaient climatisées (fort appréciable en plein mois d'Août). Un bon rapport qualité/prix mais quelques détails sont à relever: -coin douche avec moisisures malgré sdb et chambres très propres -pour le petit déjeuner, un manque de places assises évident, il faut attendre qu'une des quelques tables se libèrent... -pas de salon de réception Les points positifs: -très bon accueil (personnel parlant anglais voire français) -près de la gare -propre -convient parfaitement à la description donnée -petit déjeuner correct (puisqu'il est inclu dans le prix...)

The hotel is too bad,rooms are very small,no airconditioning,the owner representative is very rude,not cooperative..in general it is very bad experience..never again.

Me parecio un hotel bastante defieciente para el costo, ofrecen habitaciones con aire acondicionado y cuando realmente llegas es un ventilador de techo se pasa un calor espantoso, no hay ascensor por lo tanto uno debe subir las maletas por su cuenta ya que no tienen a nadie que ofrezca este servicio, la gerente o la manager es bien descortez y muy grosera al igual que el empleado de la noche, su politica de cancelacion es bastante absurda ya que son tan codiciosos que que le hacen pagar al huesped la noche que esta cancelando a sabiendas qu uno no va a estar mas en este hote, de verdad que no recomiendo para nada este hotel ya que es bastante deficiente en todo sentido.

It's too hot to stay here!! it's very noisy when we open the window! we couldn't sleep all night!! and the people isn't very friendly.

Helpful staff, providing city maps and good recommendations for restaurants and transport options for sightseeing.

This hotel room was excellent for us as the location was perfect. It does seem to be in a somewhat seedy area of Milan but the rooms were reasonable and clean and the breakfast in the morning was good. The staff was personable and informative. Under similar circumstances we would stay there again.

I just spend one night in that hotel, because its near the centre station, the service and quality is quite good, and good location as well compared to it's location.

Room was very HOT, no air-condition. Can not open windows because of so much traffic noise which you can still hear even with the windows closed. Staff was not very helpful and dining area is very small so there is a line for breakfast.

The room is too small,poor setup.Poor breakfast.Only the reception lady made my stay bearable,she's very kind and helpful.Location is ok but the hotel looks like a local cafe.The worst thing is there's no lift!!Beware!

Desayuno excelente, muy amables.

The hotel is located near to the central station which is very good if you want to travel from Milan. By the way the center is not too far away from the hotel, approx 15 minutes on foot. The staff is kind and helpful but the room wasn't quiet. It is only good for a short stay.

The hotel is definaly not great. If you plan to stay in Milano, pick a different hotel. At night the sorounding look dangerous, and if you have a lot of luggage, think twice. There is no elevator to the rooms. But if you need a place to stay close to the train station for a night, this could be your choice. You can walk from the station to the hotel, about 5-10 minuts with luggage. In the room we stayed, it was next to the stair and we could hear people up and down and conversation all night. As I said, for a nice, great deal. To enjoy Milano, there are better hotels with good prices as well.

There was no direction to show how to get to the hotel. The night shift hotel receptionist didn't speak English and had the most impolite manner and provided the worst service to customers. The room was dark, some light bulbs did not work and the hotel staff was unwilling to replace. The room was in the next building, and the environment was terrible. Will definitely never never come back.

A nice hotel for one night. Too many rumors, no AC! I do not know why they offered one room with 4 beds for a singl person?

Friendly staff. Room for 4 of us was fine, though bathroom a bit pokey. Breakfast was disappointing, but adequate. Arriving from the airport late at night, we found the area lacking in places to eat. Very handy for airport shuttle bus and easy to find, also handy for Central Railway Station.

Il personale non è molto cortese,però la posizione è ottima

Location, room, breakfast, price OK. No air conditioning during summer could be a challenge

The bathroom was the worlds smallest and we had to wait for breakfast because dining room could not cope with a full hotel.We returned to Milan 2 weeks later and stayed around the corner at the Madison.Room rate was marginally less and quality of room and breakfast was substantially higher

We were on the first floor (which to an American is second floor -- the first floor above the lobby). There was some sort of party down the hall, and we could hear basically every word they were saying. Same with everything going on in the lobby. The ONLY thing going for this hotel is its proximity to the train station. It's a 5-10 minute walk to/from the train station to the hotel, and that's precisely why we booked here. On that, we were not disappointed, but if you're after a hotel where you can get some sleep before 22-23:00, look elsewhere.

Good option to have a couple of days in that city.

Close to railwaystation and a very good hotel for the price. Nice breakfast. Will go there again if I pass Milano.

Good hotel, just near stazione centrale.

We loved this hotel. It was so cute and the beds comfortable, the rooms clean and spacious. Everyone spoke english and were real nice and there was a free breakfast. The price was great also. Lots of restaurants and a grocery store on the block and right next to the train station made it easy to get to and from for our other travel needs

Our rooms where bein painted as some of our party arrived. so brand new and comfy, some building work going on during the day. brakfast is cossiants you will not be amased. good for basic bed & breakfast, very close to central station, very handy to city centre. would say not good for families.

Pros: Short walking distances from Milan Central station and Metro station. There is a supermarket next to the train station, and a coffee shop down stairs. Cons: Room and bathroom are very small. Very noisy because it's right next to a big street.

El hotel está bastante bien. Éramos tres chicas y la habitación era amplia y limpia, aunque el baño era un poco pequeño. El único problema que vimos era el ruido, ya que la habitación daba a una avenida muy transitada y había mucho ruido de coches.Ideal la cercanía a la estación central, el bus que nos trajo del aeropuerto de Malpensa nos dejó a 200 m del hotel. Muy bien comunicado. Hay restaurantes y tiendas en la misma calle.Lo recomendamos.

The hotel was average. The location seemed good at the time of booking, but it is actually quite a bit for from the main station and places of interest. room itself was good, though we had to cross a terrace to reach it. Breakfast was in a tiny shop across the road and very bare. Overall not bad if you are getting it at a good price, but am sure u can get better deals if you are searching well in advance of your trip.

We stayed in Milan for 2 night. We thought the DEmo would be cheap and cheerfull, clean, OK breakfase and helpfull staff. WE were completely wrong.

Would not recommend it, not enough space in the room we had two cases and found it difficult to move around, the bathroom was the smallest we ever had. Breakfast was poor. The area was not the best we had to go through groups of people at night with the police present one night. Eating in Milan was a rip off,its all about money.

We stayed in Milan for 3 nights. The room had one double bed and two single beds. It was very tidy and clean exactly the picture on the website - same bed sheets and curtains. Our tv wasn't working, and there was no computers are internet to use due to lobby renovations. It was very close to the laundromat, the supermarket and train station. The man at reception was very informative.

The room was very noisy as it was right on the main street and adequate noise insulation was not installed - recommend taking a set on earplugs if you want to get a nights sleep. We paid for a quad room and got a standard room with two extra beds crammed in - not worth the money paid per night.

Totally disheartend with the comparison of the price as regards to the service and the facilities of the room. Sorry but I do feel that for this price it should have been much better.

Abbiamo soggiornato in una quadrupla la notte del 29-11-06. Positivo: il prezzo, per una quadrupla 90e inclusa colazione (servita in un minuscolo salone con bar e cappuccino fatto con la macchinetta fai da te...!) e la posizione, a 5 minuti dalla stazione centrale. Negativo: lo strano odore che c'era nella camera, dovuto a non so cosa, ma non era sicuramente piacevole. Consigliato per giovani che si adattano facilmente, per avere una soluzione economica e pratica, per una notte o due.

Bathroom was very small. Breakfast was quite limited. Car parking was not available on site as suggested - close by was 20 euro a night. Don't expect to be able to park on the street. Hotel location was good - close to central station.

We were just looking for a hotel near the railway station and this was perfectly located. Considering it's a 2 star hotel I would gladly recommend it! Our room was towards the street and a bit noisy, and since it was fully booked we couldn't change. Ask for a quite room :-)

My overall experince at this hotel was excellent. The location near Milan's Central Station is ideal. The only problem that I encountered was that when arriving at night I was asked by the front desk clerk to leave my passport along with my family's identification documents at the front desk overnight. I told this person that we were not confortable doing this and after long explanations we were not required to leave our passports overnigt with someone else. I had never encountered a similar policy and for that reason did not feel confortable doing this. I don't know if this is something normal in Italy. Other than that I was pleased with the hotel and service. I would recommend this hotel.

The location is right by the train station -you pass it on the way if you take the shuttle bus from the airport. It was good to wake up to the smell of the breakfast cooking downstairs. The man working the desk was patient with the language barrier and helpful. The only complaint that we had was the fact that they sold us a 2 Euro water when there was a grocery store right around the corner & we were on our way out. There is a great pizza place around the corner: S. Giorgio.

Perfect!!

Lots of small objects that would require repairment in the room: like in the bathroom - you needed to be very careful with towels (not to drop the whole towel hook while taking the towel)

Im Zimmer hat es nach fauligem Abwasser aus der Toilette gerochen. Das Bett war für 2 Personen mit 140 cm zu klein. Wir haben als Wunsch Twinbed angemeldet.

Very nice rooms, good service, near train station.

As a group of 4, we stayed in a quad room. This was simply a standard double room with very little storage space and 2 extra beds. I’m pretty sure they don’t pack 4 people into a room this small in prisons. The toilet was very small, and had no curtain rail or partition - this meant that after taking a shower, water would pour into the bedroom. There was no tea or coffee making facilities, no TV, no iron, and faulty lighting. The balcony was nothing special, was directly over a very busy road, and the air conditioning did not work either, so none of our group were allowed much sleep. The bar in reception was very expensive (4 euros = 33cl beer), and the breakfast was very basic (nothing hot, not typically continental). To our knowledge, only 1 member of staff spoke English (but I don't speak any Italian, so I shouldn't be too critical). To its credit, the reception was kept clean & tidy, and the hotel was easy to find and close to the main transport links. We could easily have got 2 separate double rooms for the same price in the same area.

If this is the standard of property your site offersthen I will not use it again.

Cette hôtel est un des moins cher et pratique d'accès (proche métro et gare) avec chambre spacieuse, déjeuner correct. MAIS Le service reste à ce prix décevant: accueil peu chaleureux, chambre très bruyante, bruit de voiture en continue, salle de bain sur le pallier avec toilette et plaquart à balais et produit d'entretien !!!! particulièrement sale et peu confortable (rien pour poser ses affaires)

A basic hotel room conveniently located. Good for a overnight stay.

The room is very small. One of the beds seems to collapse at any time. There's no curtain in the bathroom. And there's even a crack on the washing basin.

The personel were good,but the property didn't have a air conditioning in the room.It was HOT! I couldn't get sleep because of hot temperature Price was OK,but if I knew the condition of the room, I'd not stay in this hotel(speially in summer).

Nice and warmly welcome by hotel staff. Elegant and clean lobby with excellent breakfast. Good place for those stayed in Milano !!

Was a good way to start our vacation.

The location of this hotel is not very picturesque, but it is within walking distance from the train station. That was our primary concern as we arrived late in the afternoon and left early in the morning. Our room (could have accomodated 4 people) was on the ground floor right near the bar and public restroom, but it was very quiet and convenient. Breakfast was included in the 85 euro price. We also had our own tv and bathroom. We would definitely stay here again. The restaurant selection in the immediate area is a little thin, and we had to do a bit of walking to find something open the night before Easter, but we were successful in the end. Hotel Demo was the most inexpensive place we stayed in all of our travels through Italy.

I'm well aware that one cannot expect to find a Taj Mahal in a two-star hotel near the train station, but, even so, Hotel Demò is disappointing. It's hardly conceivable that in a room for two people there's no space for two pieces of luggage. Moreover, it would be nice if the wardrobe weren't broken, and if it wouldn't be necessary to come down two sets of stairs at night in order to talk to the reception, for the telephone wasn't connected. Worst of all was the breakfast, described as "rich and tasty" on the web, but by far the worst breakfast I've had in my 24-day trip around Italy.

Conveniently located close to the train station and Metro stops. Some desk personnel do not speak English.

There were free use internet PC. It was very usefull!!

Very good value 2 star hotel. Staff friendly and helpful. Good breakfast!!! Easy access to public transport for the rest of the city. Highly recommended as a 2 star.

Problems:No information on the stairs to be climbed (no mention on non-availability of elevator ) Language is a major problem (poor english speaking staff and cofusion in returning the pass-port/ why should they take the pass-port?)

This is a very clean. well decorated hotel.

The hotel was really convenience as it was just situated near the station. The staff , especially those in the reception, were very nice and freindly. I really enjoyed staying in this hotel.

The location is very convenient, but if there is a clearer map, it is better. I especially like the internet services and the location. You will find it easy to travel in Milan. The breakfast is also good, serving from 7-10, good choices of food already. I do recommend and would like to stay again. Thanks.

Good for single traveller. Just 10 minutes walk to central station.

I will never stay this hotel again! It was a nightmare.

The staff are very friendly and speak English, which is very useful. The bar area is attractively decorated. We stayed in a quad room and it was a little small, but still was very good value. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.

Very nice, clean hotel and very conveniently located within three minutes walking distance from the central train station, although the area is not the best too late at night. The rooms were clean and nicely decorated, breakfast was good, and having free internet access was appreciated. The staff were friendly as well. We only had two problems. First, the hotel is not air conditioned and it was very hot while we were there, so we had trouble sleeping despite the ceiling fan that was in the room. Second, we were in a room on the street which stayed pretty noisy with traffic which continued until between 11:00 p.m. and 1:00 a.m. and started back up around 5:00/6:00 a.m., so light sleepers should perhaps request a room in the back of the hotel. Basically, this was a nice hotel that just happens to be on a noisy street.

We stayed just 2 days and enjoyed very much. The staff was helpfull. The relationship between price/quality was perfect ! The best breakfast in Italy ! Our room to the backyard was very quiet. Resumée: a very good choise for few days middle in Milano.

Unbearably hot in August. Needed cold shower! Long way of tourist parts if walking, but close to rail station.

Good, clean rooms. Breakfast was good too. The location was fine, just round the corner from the Metro.

May be I wasn't lucky the airconditioner didn't work well , the temperature was at 29 celcious whole night. Breakfast service was better than others that I stayed in the same area. Personnels 're mostly friendly and able to speak english.

The Demo is an excellent budget hotel, very handily situated close to Milan Station. One slight problem to start with, was actually finding the hotel. It is literally 5 minutes walk from the station, but the map supplied is not very clear and so we spent about 30 minutes walking around the outside of the station trying to discover the hotel. A clearer map stating which exit to take out of the station would be of great benefit. The hotel for the price was excellent, the room was spacious and clean. There was no air conditioning which with tempertures of 30C made it quite an uncomfortably night -although there was a fan. The breakfast was fantastic, one of the best breakfasts I have ever experinced abroad and very surprisingly good for such an inexpensive hotel. The man who served us in the morning was extremely helpful and gave us some excellent tips about travelling in Milan. Another feature was free internet access, which I used to check out some trian times. So if you are looking for an inexpensive and very well located hotel in Milan I would be happy to recommend the Demo.

Very hot in August in room - poor fan, and a good 30 - 45 mins walk from main tourist areas, but close to station. Need to pay extra for parking.

Great buffet breakfast, excellent location close to train station and metro, at night in front desk there is a Latin-American lady who help a lot. Make reservations early because is always full

Good: nice breakfast Bad: no lift

A OK hotel, nothing more, nothing less. The breakfast wasn't any good, which was disappointing after we read a review that said breakfast was good. Staff didn't speak english. Very close to the central station. We only got one night at this hotel, but we found another hotel 50 metres down (to the right in the next lightcross after Demo) which had three stars, better breakfast, aircon and balcony for 90 euros (weekend price). Will recommend this hotel instead if you are staying for a weekend. (Don't remember name of the hotel)

Location very good, sub-way and main train station close by for easy travel around Milan. Only concern was the noise level, caused by other guests and noisy people outside the hotel. Maybe we were just unlucky that week.

The hotel was conveniently located 2 blocks from the train station and metro lines. Our room was spacious (we had a triple) but with view to the busy street so it was noisy late at nite and early in the morning. The rooms in the back may be quieter. The bathroom was small but ok. the only thing was the shower curtain was too short and the water spilled to the floor when taking a shower. The breakfast was very good and the manager were very nice and helpful. It doen't have an elevator so it may be a problem if you're older or have a lot or heavy suitcases. The common areas are very nicely decorated, better than I expected. Overall we liked the hotel and for the price it was a great deal. We'll use it again in our next trip.

We found problems in fundamental construction in the hotel. When I flush toilet, the flushed water flew up from the drain of the shower. We did not like such a bad sanitary, and therefore we could not take shower. Honestly, we won’t visit again.

In fact it is a good hotel in the near of the city. The rooms are quite and clear.

Couldn't fault the quality of the hotel for the price. Free internet facilities were very useful. Location is great for the Central Station for trips to Lake Como and Lake Garda but is in a slightly seedy area.

The management was very welcoming, helpful and friendly. They have free internet access in the lobby. Breakfast was very good. Location to the train station and metro station is good. Good prices for Milan. A recommendation for every tourist.

We have booked a triple for 3 nights and all of us was pleased to stay in this nice pension. We will recommend/suggest our friends to book it for their stay in Mailand

We found the Hotel Demo very good value. A couple of points were the description said the room had a bath it didn't it was just a shower. The staff didn't speak much English so were unable to help us with guidance on where to go etc. although they were very helpful and did their best. We chose the hotel because of it's close proximity to the rail station looking back I'm not sure this was such a good idea as I never felt very safe in the area. So apart from that yes we were happy with the hotel it was very clean the room was adequate and cleaned everyday with clean towels. Breakfast was very good and staff very pleasant and helpful (as much as they could be).

Sehr gemütlich,preiswert,gute lage(5 min.bis zum bahnhof.herforragender frühstück!internetzugang.an der reception spricht man russisch!schöne überaschung.aber es war sehr laut.viel verkehr auf der strasse.man muss ohropax mitnehmen.

The location near the station was good and convenient . The 4 bedded room was on the third floor without lift so with luggage it was a problem. It was a small hotel but the breakfast and free internet was good.Room and bathroom were cramped but stlil the place was good value for money probably by milan standards

We only had a brief stay at the hotel but it was very nice and would stay there again, also its very close to the train station.

My stay has been excellent. The breakfast is truly complete, did not think to have this in a hotel two stars. A recommendation for every tourist.

We arrived at 1 AM and were still able to find the hotel, admitted instantly, and given our room, which was comfortable and clean. It was small for a quad - but we were happy with the quiet and comfortable there. The breakfast room was delightful and clean. Rated excellent for the price and access to the train station.

My stay has been excellent. The staff was much kind and ready one in order to resolve my demands. They have free internet access in the lobby Good prices for Milan. The position of the hotel is a lot centers them. The metropolitan is to single 100 meters. The room was much pleasant cleaning up and. The breakfast is truly complete, did not think to have this in a hotel two stars. I have seen painting extension and many pictures. Sure I will return in this hotel. A recommendation for every tourist.

As you can see the hotel was perfect! Nice clean rooms, excellent employees, perfect location. A recommendation for every tourist!
