Hotel Garda - Milan

An old fashioned hotel, excellent service, grand public areas, staff were very helpful. Internet with wi-fi good but you have to pay. 5 Euros for 24 hrs. More expensive for shorter times.

Very professional staff.

Nice Hotel, friendly staff, good situation, near Central Station and Metro. Nice room, however a bit small.

I have stayed at the Hotel Garda twice -- very convenient to the Stazione Centrale with quick metro and tram connections to the city centre. The room was slightly faded but spacious, quiet and clean. The staff are very polite and the public areas are attractive. Not a luxury hotel but perfectly comfortable and acceptable in all regards. It offers good value and I would return there again.

Lovely, "classic" hotel close to Central train station. Although it is a 4-stop metro ride from the Duomo downtown core, it is actually a pleasant 30-minute walk through the Giardini gardens (and the lovely Museum of Modern Art) through residential neighbourhoods. Great staff, very clean and comfortable. A very pleasant stay.

clear,good service, price not expensive

If you just need a place to sleep, it's a great option. The Staff are very kind and the information that give you to make better your stay it's very useful. The breakfast it's maybe the only thing that it isn't very good for the price, and some rooms could be not very quiet from the noise of the street, but for sure I could return to this hotel if I have to come back to Milan.

Friendly staff. Good value for the money

Clean and warm rooms, friendly staff, hotel located close to the main station. Perfect.

I have been several times to this hotel and I still believe it is good value for your money. Room was small but clean. Some noices from the bathrooms of other rooms because of thin walls.

Clean room, although a bit small for a twin share, but suited our budget. Close to Gard Nord station which is what we required. Reception staff were efficient and friendly. Would recommend and would use again if I needed to be close to that particular station.

very friendly staff, nice location, would recommend to my friends.

room is big, every thing is good, but no free internet.

very nice but charge hight for internet use. rooms face to the road are not very guiet.

My single room was small but clean, and the staff were courteous. The location is ideal for trains and metro, and I found it easily enough using the website's directions. My only real gripe is having to pay for an internet connection, which was free in all my other Italian hotels. All in all, this is a pretty run-of-the-mill budget hotel, but handy location and reasonable cost (for Milan) more than make up for lack of character.

very close to the milano centrale, very good for travelers who do not care too much, seems to be a good price in expensive milano

Okay to stay for 1-2 days and having to pay for wifi in this day and age is a big no no as there is such competition for your business maybe they should offer free wifi like 99% do.

I stayed in Milan for one night only, however the hotel would be great for staying even more time. Very nice size of bath and good TV. The breakfast is equal to any famous hotel. When I go back to Milan I'll try to be at this hotel again.

Old fashioned hotel with very heavy decor including carpet on the lower walls! It felt oppressive to us - others might like it.

Cheap and convenient hotel in a place surrounded by many hotels. It's cheap but the bed was too small, it's quite noisy and the furniture and shower would support renewal.

Garda hotel offers a rare mix of advantages: conveniently located very near to Milano Centrale, quiet, very clean, equipped with two lifts (albeit small)and rather cheap for all these combined advantages. Welcoming is not exactly warm but courteous and businesslike. This was my third stay at Garda Hotel, this time with my eight-year old child and I would strongly recommend this hotel.

central location, very friendly staff

great service and location

Clean, convenient to station, but breakfast and internet cost extra, and the air conditioning is desperately in need of either a cleaning or upgrade. Staff can be either warm or chilly, depending on the specific person.

The hotel was great, employees professional and location great.

So well placed for the airport bus and station. would most certainly use this hotel again.

The drainer in our bathroom is blocked. We have to take a shower as quick as we can in order to avoid water overflowed. I didn't have time to tell the staff in the next morning since I have to catch a train. However, tell them in the afternoon, but the guy at the front said nothing they can do because I just tell them. That's not an excuse. They should take some kind of responsibility

The Hotel Garda was in close proximity of the Central Milan Station.The service from staff was very good even when arriving at 11 pm at night. The room was small but exceptable for teh money considering Milan is an expensive city to stay. The hotel had pay for internet and phone. Overall I would stay again for the cost and location.

Excellent service and extremely helpful staff. The only weakness: very thin walls in the rooms don't shield from noisy neighbours.

Excellent front desk staff. Great location withing walking distance of most things we wanted to see. Best value for the money of all the hotels that we stayed at in Italy.

This was a nice hotel however we had one big problem, our room was right next to the elevator which was incredibly noisy at all hours. The elevator was also tiny and 2 people with suitcases can barely fit in. We got a free upgrade to a comfort queen room which was nice. There was no english tv channels.

Perfect for an accomodation near the Central Station

GREAT HOTEL and STAFF

This property gave excellent value for the money. We used it as our last stop before returning home and wanted something close to the train station. There is a fabulous restaurant nearby (ask at reception for the name and directions)and other less expensive options nearby also.

good for short stay in Milan

Hotel Garda was a real find. Close to the train station, accommodating and responsive staff, rooms were very clean. We will stay there again on our next trip!

Room was very noisy. It was hot outide and the window would not stay open and there was no air conditioning. Very unconfortable. You could not call the front desk as the phone did not work. Front desk personnel were not friendly (afternoon shift). No WiFi and front desk was not helpful in sharing where you could find WiFi. Will not stay at this hotel again when there are many others in the same area. Not a great experience and would not stay there again.

For visiting some institutes Generally hotel in Milan is expensive, so this hotel near station is convenient and not so bad.

The price was very good, so I guess I shouldn't complain. The lobby is a lot nicer than the room itself. And you don't sleep in the lobby...

The curtains in the bathroom were dirty and had hair. The room is small but the location is convinient for travellers arriving late in Milano.

Noisy aircondition machine from the sixties, unapropriate window isolation and noisy room. Wrong water gangs in the bathroom. The smart and cool reception is missleading. I dont recommend to stay there!

Hotel Garda is conveniently located, just a few steps from the central train station. Not for those looking for luxury, but it's perfectly adequate and practical for a short stay. One notable negative is that the room smelled quite strongly of air freshener/carpet deodoriser. But the room itself was in good order. The bathroom was in fact rather large by italian standards. At EUR 58 per night (single room, no breakfast), it served my purpose at good value.

Very close to the central station so great if you are arriving late in the evening. Nice pizzeria opposite.

Wonderfully quiet room; really central for the railway station and easy access for the Duomo. Excellent and generous breakfast

Great location for one night and access to metro systems. Very helpful staff. Loved the big tub! We went to Lush on via Dante just to get a bath fizz. As usual, like All the beds I have slept on in Italy, very stiff but bearable. Maybe on my 5th trip to Italy I will pack a suitcase with a foam pad, Hmmmm.

It is well situated for an overnight stay, arriving by train and leaving by plane. The selfhelp restaurants in the area was something special and good value for money.Was the aircon included in the price? Ours didn't work. Bring something for mosquitos.

One of many similar hotels near Centrale station that was available at short notice. OK but I wouldn't go out of my way to stay there again. Heavy on wallpaper and carpet deodorant. If you are interested in plumbing, the flushing system for the WC is an unusual one.

very convenient location, good price, and nothing more.

The hotel was ideal for what I wanted.Close to the main station, but very quiet. Easy access to all transport into town. Friendly and helpful staff especially the guy at the bar who makes the best hot chocolates. Clean and comfortable.

Very convenient for Milano Centrale station.

Warm, professional, courteous staff!

Very convenient location near the main train station. Lots of restaurants near the hotel. Staff was friendly and helpful. The hotel is a super value.

Both day and night front office staff were very pleasant and helpful. The location close to Centrale FS is very convenient though the area is not very pleasant to walk around in the evening. The room cleaning staff could have been more generous with shampoo but the sheets and towels were very clean and towels replaced daily.

Gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis. Lage ausgezeichnet für Zugfahrer (sehr nahe bei stazione centrale)mit gutem Anschluss an Metro und andere Offis. Verbindung vom Bahnhof zu Flughafen ist durch Shuttlebusse sehr gut und günstig.

As a hotel of a long history in the most famous fashion capital---Milano, Hotel Garda surprised us most was : the cheap and low-taste and ugly ceramics on the bathroom wall and floor. But the decoration in the bedroom is OK.

Our room was nice and quiet in the back of the building. It was easy to find and very close to central station. There are restaurants nearby.

The best hotel we stayed during our trip. Everything is well maintained. Only 2 min walk to the train station. Can't ask for more

Was a litle difficult to find though it is near the Central Station. A gem when found! Good value for money too.

This hotel is located in good place for tourism, near the central station. All staffs are very kindly and helpful.

The hotel is definitly okay for the price, staff was helpful, rooms clean, bath spacious. However, if your room is facing the backside of the hotel you will have to deal with a very noisy aircondition exhaust, in our case it was right next to our window. If you don't like sleeping with your windows closed and/or aircondition turned on, this hotel is not for you.

Staff were very friendly and competent, excellent location close to Milano Centrale, coach from/to the airport,two underground lines, several tram - and bus lines. Nice and spacious rooms, good service. I would recommend this hotel to everyone and I would like to stay there again.

We were very satisfied with the hotel and with the personel and the services! I'll return to Hotel Garda and recommend it to my friends.

This hotel is very convenient place to get to anywhere. The room is comfortable & pretty wide in Milan.

Only real problem was traffic noise during the day - I worried that this might make it hard to sleep, but the street was quiet at night so not a problem. Desk staff spoke English well and were friendly and helpful. The area around the hotel is not one of the more appealing ones in Milan, but the convenience of being so close to the train station more than compensated for this for us. Took us some time to figure out how to turn on the a/c unit (button was not labeled) but that's pretty par for the courses in European hotels. All in all, nothing fancy but seemed like a good deal if convenience and comfort are your top priorities.

Good relationship between price and quality

Is a good place to stay. Good price anda location.

Fine, quiet hotel, close to public transportation. Rooms are small but rather comfortable. Very good value for money.

beautiful and clean room, employees always available, kind and competent

I had a single room that was beautifully decorated and appointed. The only negative was the shower--which was just a ceramic plate with a shower curtain that did not touch the bottom, so water leaked on the floor. I had a fabulous rate--the price posted im my room was over 3 times higher! Neighborhood (near Centrale Stazione) has many good restaurants, but there are so many Thai "message parlors" around it looked like Bangkok! Fashion 2 restaurant, across street and very close, has very reasonably priced, good food, but is usually busy.

The hotel is very close to the Milan centrale station so ideal for those who are in Milan for a short stay and/or need to catch an early flight.

Excellent location for Central Station and airport buses plus access to city centre. Helpful and effective reception. We had a small double room with en suite shower which was all clean and fresh. Only downside was considerable street noise at night. Note that there was a 10% discount offered for payment in cash rather than by card.

Very happy with accommmodation and as described on the internet - no nasty surprises. Rooms spotless, a comfy bed and all facilities working well. Only negative is that once you are through the smart reception area the corridor that we were on was a bit tired looking - it's a shame but this seems to be the case with so many hotels. We travelled by train to Arona on Lake Maggiore on the 2nd day and the hotel was really close to the station - a short five minute walk away. We also walked to and from Milan centre which wasn't too onerous though there are plenty of buses and trams everywhere. Would definitely use the hotel again and recommend it.

Really good hotel, especially for its price. I've stayed there two times for one night and I like this hotel. It's really close to the Milano Centrale railway station and it's convenient. I'm going to stay at Garda next time definitely.

Single gay traveler. The location was great, and price-service rate was good. I had a single room with a small bed. The room had so much space that they can place a full size bed instead of the single one.

The hotel was located 2 blocks from the main trainstation and on the same block as the local bus and train station. The room had a big and clean bathroom. The staff was very helpful. The rate for the room was perfect. It was referred by Rick Steves and I would stay again.

We had a great rate. It was close to the train station, metro and bus to the airport. This was our last night in Italy before flying home. Good for a one night inexpensive stay.

This was a pretty good hotel in a great location, very close to main train station and Metro. The room was fairly big and clean. The breakfast room was nice and the food good. They have internet available in the lobby but there is a charge.

Cross to Central Station,and safty place.

Perfect location regarding Stazione Centrale. For For those who care, elevator and the halls were a little bit small and narrow.

Very nice hotel near the train station. Very friendly employees. The relationship between price and quality is very good.

Very fine place for the price and just a couple of minutes from the station. Rooms very clean with small flatscreen tv. Once out of the reception area the two floors I've stayed on (2nd and 4th) seem a bit run-down but always clean. One room on the 4th floor didn't have a shower curtain.

very good hotel.But breakfast for 10 Euro is very uninspired.

Friendly service and the price/quality was everything that we were looking from our vacation. First time in Italy and eager to come again!

Close to train station and reasonable price. However, the room smelled awful and the carpet was filthy.

Good value hotel very close to the railway station. I'd stay there again.

The room was spacious and clean and even though I was facing onto the main street it was quiet. The proximity to the train station made this an ideal base for being in Milan if you were there for a short time (would probably recomend staying in another area if you are in Milan for more than a couple of nights). It was an expensive hotel for what you got (but I understand this is typical of Milan accommodation), but the hotel staff were very helpful (especially the man on the night shift - make sure you ask him for restaurant recommendations!), it was clean and safe!

We stayed for the price and location, but enjoyed it so much, we booked it again on our return trip. The hotel is a short walk from the train station.

staff was helpful but not friendly...cold reception, but quite efficient.great location across from rail station, and easy to catch bus to/from Malpensa. Lots of other hotels on same street,Garda is best for short stay...breakfast was not great and not included...12E for really poor breakfast

Rooms were basic and not so pretty, but spacious and clean. Bathroom was clean, but the shower was small and we had a very poor water-flow from the showerhead. Staff was very friendly and helpfull and spoke English very well. Location was very convenient, very close to central station and the metro entrance was on the corner of the street. The area was quiet at night, but we (3 girls, 1 guy) didn't feel unsafe.(Wouldn't recommend walking around alone.) The hotel didn't have their own parking, but there was a guarded(paid) parking garage nearby. If you're on a tight budget, hotel Garda is a really good deal.

The price is a little bit high. And there's a strange smell in the room. The hotel is pretty close to the railway station (about 2 minutes' walk).

Good location. Very close to the central railway station and subway station (opposite). But a quiet street. Friendly personnel. Not noisy. Rooms clean. I have twice stayed in this hotel. In a single room. Different finishing rooms. The first time I did not like the number (old bedspread, furniture, but bathroom is normal). In other times was a very nice room and bathroom.

It was the second time for us to stay in this hotel. The location is good near the train station. breakfast is pretty good. rooms are small though. internet is available.

Spent one night at Hotel Garda because I had to catch the airport bus early in the morning to Malpensa from the Central Train Station in Milan. Location of hotel is great - 1 block from the train station. Excellent single room - small but very clean, very nice bathroom and great price. Marco, the night manager was very helpful and recommended an excellent and affordable pizza restaurant a few blocks away (not the poor quality tourist place down the street) - thank you! Would definitely stay here again. Not sure if there is any a/c - I opened the window. Great, practical small hotel in the heart of Milan...

The staff was really nice and helpful, the location of the hotel was very good - quite near to the railway central station. The room was small but very nice and well equiped. The walls are rather thin - you can hear lot of your neighbours ! The public hotel areas are very comfortable. The only thing to critize was the breakfast ! There was really few things to choose !

The staff was very friendly and helpful. The a/c didn't work well in my room and they gladly gave me a different room. Breakfast was generous especially for this price. The train station is 5 minutes away, and the metro even closer. The room is larger than many other single rooms I've had in Italian hotels.

Location relative to rail terminal very good, friendly and efficient reception, comfortable and quiet, internet at reasonable charge,overall a very satisfactory small hotel at very good price.

Staff very helpful, rooms exceptionally clean, only drawback was that all rooms did not appear to have air conditioning which is essential in a Milan summer

We loved it here, although our first impression of the room was not fabulous. It was small and not luxurious, but clean and quiet and a terrific bargain. The people at the front desk were just incredibly professional and accomodating. The bathroom was great. We highly recommend Garda and would come again.

demander une chambre sur l'arrière elles sont plus petites mais plus tranquilles
