Hotel Kennedy - Milan

7.9

I went to Milan dor shopping and the hotel was ideally located. Cheap and convenient for a short stay.

3.1

It was a one night stay, the location is fine and rooms are small. However the really bad were the mosquitoes and the smell of the bathroom.

6.3

the hotel is situated on the 6th(? I dont remember exact) floor of the standard house. shared bathroom - clean. the rooms looking to the busy street with the tram ongoing, co better to take inner yard looking rooms. But overall - OK

5.4

Non mi è sembrato un hotel fenomenale, anche in funzione del prezzo (basso). Camera piccola e separata da una pseudo-porta a scorrimento con snodo.

2.7

The hotel was in a good location close to the centre, but was extremely noisy and very hot! We stayed 2 nights and got hardly any sleep at all. In the morning when we went to check out early, no one was there so we left the key on the counter. We did not have breakfast cause there is a very small area to stand and eat breakfast if you choose. The price was not that cheap for the low quality of the rooms.

5.1

I stayed in double bed room without bathroom. The first time, I got into the room, it smells something. That was a problem but got used to it a while later. Hotel is located in 6th floor of a building and space for elevator is really small. possibly only one person can get in. So if you have a really big suit case, you would have a hard time to go up to 6th floor.

1.8

well, perhaps, if I wanted hard to safe money and the room would cost 15-20 Euro, I would return there for one night (not more). We were lucky to get in there late in the night and to check out before 6 in the morning, I couldn't stay there longer. I could see that room was clean, but everything was so old, that you always feel like it's durty. There is no free space in the room at all, looks like a balcony is bigger than a room, perhaps summer visitors could enjoy it, but it was a question how to get into balcony, because the door was blocked by wardrobe..... It was no place to put two suitcases on floor. Even the door into room was more nerrow than standard. Bathroom....... 1m X 1,5 m - you have all, shower, toilet, sink... it's senseless to tell, that when you take shower everything is wet, because there is no curtain there. The only plus is receptionist, who was nice and helpfull, but I think this is very weak plus comparing to all other negative expirience.

9.8

Good situation near the railway station (Milano Centrale) and close to the metro. Nice cafes and restaurants nearby. The elevator is very small, it may cause difficulties to families travelling with much luggage. The balcony is nice!

7.6

Hotel Kennedy is a small hotel on the sixth floor of an older style building in a very central location.Access to public transport is good and there is shopping and restaurants nearby.The only breakfast they serve is croissant and coffee in the room but there is a small cafe across the road.The owners speak English and are very helpful.Only drawbacks are the traffic noise from the main road in front and difficulty of access via very small lifts.

9.6

EXCELLENT EVERYTHING; SUPER!

5.0

Very noise, coz nearby road.

7.0

Good, clean, efficient. Only criticism was the bed was a bit soft/worn out. Hotel prices in Milan very expensive but this one relatively reasonable. Near to very interesting areas of Milan and public transport and of coarse very convenient for the central station. Staff at the hotel were very helpful.

7.4

The staff were friendly, the hotel was clean. The directions to reach the hotel were a bit unclear and could be better.

4.6

Hotel au 6e étage d'un immeuble en bordure d'une grande artère du centre-ville. Pas d'insonorisation (beaucoup de bruit toute la nuit: tramway, véhicules,...)- climatisation par...ventilateur ! Ascenseur très petit (2 personnes)!

5.3

The hotel is near from the metro station,but not from the railway station.The room is not very clean.

7.6

Functional. Nothing fancy, but nothing wrong with it either. Room 13 does have a small deck with a lot of potted plants, which was rather nice.

8.5

i read someone els said about the noise from from the street, yes if your a lite sleeper get a room away from the main street, but the view down on to the main street was great

9.4

I had a wonderful stay at the Kennedy and would recommend it to anyone traveling to "costoso" Milano who is on a budget. The area is right in the middle of the city, about halfway between the Stazione Centrale and the piazza Duomo. The hosts are kind and caring, but there is not a lot of English here. So, a little Italian with some sign language should do the trick. The front desk is manned 24/7 and the hotel is right across the street from the porta Venezia metro stop. Please be aware that Milano is a really big city, visualize NYC LA or Chicago. There is a lot of traffic and it goes all night long. If you are a city dweller you will not be surprised, otherwise bring earplugs.

7.1

The staff is cool, but the street near the hotel makes a lot of sound during the night. Pric/quality is ok, the hotel is in the center of Milan, you can visit all the great things with 30 minutes of walking.

5.6

I guess this hotel is blanched with the price for single traveller.

7.6

i spend 2 nights in hotel kennedy, it was worth the price,the lift was a bit small,the place was very clean,it was just perfect for shopping,i would definitly recommend this place to people,if your on a low bugget holiday,hotel kennedy is your place.

5.6

The room is so so. I stayed in the room which is closest to the reception. So, it was quite noisy. However, the staff there really impressed me. I have left my glasses there. They have not just e-mailed me about this. They also went to post office to check up the price of sending the glasses back.

4.7

On the first day, there were young people who stayed in front of my room. They were so noisy until early morning and the door was like the panel, partition in office, I couldn't sleep well. And the next morning, there was the small bar and I could hear the conversation and the preparation of the staff and so I got up early morning.But staff were so kind and the room and the bathroom were very clean.

8.4

Cheap and cheerful. Those people who wont be spending much time in the room and are only looking for somewhere to keep their bags and put their head down at night.

5.6

Staff very friendly and helpful. A little noisy if your room is close to the reception, ppl buzz every 10 min downstairs to get into the hotel.

9.8

I have been to Milan before and was looking in the location of Hotel Kennedy, knowing that it has easy access to the historic center, subway lines, and the main train station. I stayed for two nights and was very content. I will definitely try and stay here again on my next trip back. I would advise arranging an early check-in, if necessary, in advance, as it is a small hotel. Clean, quiet, good location, and good showers.

7.3

I had a small room, but with large terrace on the side of court. Shower connected with WC was very narrow. But for 1 night it was OK. For more nights it would be hard to live here because of awfull bed quality. Old, noisy and noncomfortable.

9.3

Satyed in family room, 3 adults and a child, enjoyed it very much, very friendly stuff.

9.1

comodo per la metropolitana, pulito, la signora alla reception è gentilissima e dolcissima, sono spesso a milano per lavoro e mi fermerò di nuovo molto volentieri in questo hotel.

6.4

The rooms are fairly small but I was lucky enough to have a balcony for fresh air. The hotel is VERY noisy. You can hear other guests through the sliding doors and there isn't much privacy. There is no communal area to sit and the shared bathrooms were in need of an update. There is no internet access as it stated on the website, instead you have to go across the street and pay for access. Breakfast is additional and is a small cup of coffee and 4 chocolate biscuits ... not substantial! The staff were friendly and polite and it was located in the centre of town, so I guess it depends on the trdae off you wish to make! If you do stay there, the Japanese restaurant downstairs is exceptional.

4.4

This place was awful, dirty, it was the worst hotel we stayed at in two weeks of travel in Italy. We read decent reviews of the place and I don't know what the reviewers were thinking. The beds were horrendous and the shared baths filthy and gross. Do not stay here unless you have no other choice.

5.4

Hotel piccolissimo, composto da una dozzina di stanze alcune delle quali senza bagno. Un paio di stanze hanno delle porte a soffietto. La signora della reception si è dimostrata estermamente gentile. Metropolitana vicinissima. Nelle immediate vicinanze un ristorante giapponese ed un cinema multisala.

2.2

I would not stay there again, extremally noisy, tiny rooms. Full of mosquitoes!!! Though quite good location.

9.7

Stayed 3 nights and this is a very friendly, clean and efficiently run family hotel. The management went out of their way to help. I highly recommend it and will stay next time I am in Milan.

7.8

This is a good one-night stop-over in Milan hotel. It meets your basic needs. The price cannot be beat. We flew into Milan and stayed one night before leaving the next morning for Lake Como. This hotel worked for us because it was very cheap and very close to the Metro.

4.0

We did not find any nice restaurants nearby.

7.1

This Hotel is ideally situated for accessing central Milan. The rooms are small but clean. The breakfast could be a little more substantial but with macdonalds 50 yards away a second coffee was not a problem. Overall it was good value for money.

7.2

The location is Ok, near the city and station. There's a lift. But the staff could understand English a little bit. And the outside was noisy because the hotel is on the street.

6.9

It was a fairly nice room. Not far from the train station about a 15 min walk. I was able to walk to the duomo, but for those who cannot you can take the metro, also the bus they are both near by. If you like the night life here you have to get back before 23.00 because the close at this time.

6.1

This hotel managed in the family was a friendly, kind hotel. The bottle of big water was able to be bought by one Euro, and it survived very much. The wine opener and the fork, etc. were able to be lent. However, the extra bed was in the cushion the space and was very sleepless. The room faced the Main Street and when the window was opened, was annoyed by the noise and the vehicle exhaust emission. It might be severe at the midsummer if there is no air conditioner. However, the downtown in Milan from the sixth floor is looked at and it satisfies it.

8.4

Hotel Kennedy is always a good choice if you need a nice place for a reasonible price to stay in Milan.

7.3

ottimo per soggiornare un paio di giorni al fine di visitare i maggiori punti della città!

6.7

it is the 3rd time we have stayed at the Kennedy a good base for a short stay,handy for Railway Station. Very friendly family run establishment.

7.1

I felt a little noisy outside.

7.6

A bit hard to find,but a good place where to spend a night in Milan.

8.4

Small basic room, but nice bathroom, and clean. Close to restaurants, shops, metro stop. Did not have the breakfast, I think there is an extra charge for it. A 15 minute (or less) walk from Stazione Centrale.

2.3

it is difficult to call it a hotel, more than a pension. 6th. floor of a building. The noise comin from the street was awful. But the employees were quite friendly and nice. The beds should be changed immediatetly, your body is like in a well in the middle of the bed. The price we have paid was too much for this hotel.

9.0

If you search a cheap and clean hotel, with really nice people, in the next near of a Metro Station (where you can start you trips)- ... than is the Hotel Kennedy the right! Everytime again.

9.3

Hotel was exactly what we expected - simple, clean rooms, good price, helpful staff, food and such very nearby. Walking distance from central train station, or tram right outside. Visitors not used to big city noise may want to ask for an inward-facing room.

6.9

Location was near subway with a number or nice cafes/restuarants near by and laundry 2 blocks away. Rooms were nice and fine for 2 nights for a family with 2 children 12 & 9 years. While were on the 6th floor, we had a fair amount of street traffic noise which made it hard to sleep at night. Rooms on the other side of the hall faced quite area. Suspect that the accoustics of the street and the building caused the noise issue. Staff are very competent and helpful.

8.6

Plain accomodations, nice friendly staff, right near metro, great place to stay if you are on a budget.

4.2

When we stayed there in June, it was really hot and also very noisy outside, and we couldn't sleep very well. I do not recommend this hotel. The owner spoke good English but when we were about to leave and pay by credit card, she said the credit card machine is not working only that day. So we had to run to ATM to get cash... I wonder if she does that to everybody.

8.4

I stayed at the Kennedy's for two nights in June 2006. The location is very convenient, east of the city centre, a fair 15 minutes walk to the dome and the galleria Victor Emanuele. There is a metro station close to the hotel, an internet cafe opposite the hotel and several cafe bars and moderately priced restaurants in the vicinity. The hotel is on the sixth floor of a renovated building. The rooms are clean, comfortable, quiet and safe, shared batthroom were OK, and there was a sink in the room. All rooms have a small balcony; as the Viale Tunisia is quite a busy road, the city noise is audible in all the rooms. There are fans, but no AC so it does get a little stuffy on hot days. Staff are helpful and speak English. Reservation said "incl. breakfast", but in the hotel they told us that it wasn't, we didn't really mind as there is no restaurant or anything attached. I would recommend the Kennedy for budget travellers,it offers good value for money, it is certainly not suitable for business travellers. And: if you know how to spell "CLAUSTROPHOBIA" stay away from the elevator and use the stairs!

7.3

room is very clean. price is very good. I have a good room at sixt level with a loggia with good view. next time I will stay in hotel Kennedy. breakfast is too small.

5.0

Breakfast is not included. Its in a dingy part of town, I made sure I was in before dark. Although during the day I didn't feel threatened. The mattress was very bad, lots of bumps and lumps. The bathroom cleanliness was good. The staff were competent.

4.9

The hotel is useful only for its relative proximity to Milan central station. It is situated on a noisy street - the noise level is tolerable at night if the doors are tightly closed. When we were there it was around 32 degrees during the day and very hot in the room overnight. There was an air conditioning unit but no apparent way to switch it on. When I asked whether I could have a remote control for it I was simply told "no".

7.6

The place was hard to find and it only had a small sign above another hotel's sign on a main/busy road. The room itself was good with a nice view facing the street. We could hear the traffic with windows shut and the rooms are on the 6th floor, it was warm in the room and too loud to open the window. (No air conditioning) Would not stay here in the middle of the hot months as it would be too loud to open windows. Overall cost vs quality was about equal. I would stay here again just not in the hotter months.

9.9

Very clean hotel for a very low price. We staid in the room for four people, it was spacious and clean. Employees were very nice: we could leave our bagages in the morning before take the room, and in the afternoon when we leave the room.

9.6

Cet hôtel correspondait à mes attentes. Le personnel est très serviable et disponible. Le seul défaut est le manque d'isolement sonore des chambres, dû au type de portes utilisées. Les clients sont susceptibles d'être réveillés par le bruit des autres touristes qui rentrent tardivement ou qui partent de bonne heure.

7.8

I considered this hotel to have a good correlation between price and quality, until after I paid less per night for a much better hotel in Florence. However, I think Milan might just be more expensive in general? I'm not sure. There's not much space in the hotel at all (tiny room!), no public areas to speak of, but the room was clean and served its purpose - a place to sleep. Also, the staff was friendly and helpful, despite the language barrier!

9.6

the place was clean,quite and just what i thought it would be. next time in milan i will book again

8.9

Niedrogi jak na warunki Mediolanu hotel, 5 przystankow tramwajem Nr 5 z dworca kolejowego. 50 metrów od stacji metra. Znajduje siê na 6 pietrze budynku. Dojazd na gore dosc ciasn¹ wind¹ ale mila obs³uga mowiaca po angielsku. Budynek na zdjeciu nie jest w calosci hotelem a hotel to tylko 6 pietro. Trzeba nacisnac domofon zeby wpuscili do klatki schodowej. Na trzecim jest inny hotel. W pobli¿u na rogu McDonald, nie korzystalem z niego ale widzialem w nim sporo osob. 150 m za rogiem jest supermarket SMA gdzie mozna zaopatrzyc sie w tanie produkty na sniadanie. W hotelu mozna poprosic pania o zrobienie kawy z ekspresu. W pokoju jest telewizorek ale na antenie pokojowej ciezko o dobry odbior wiec tak jakby go nie bylo. w pokoju przynajmniej 2 gniazdka elektryczne typu wloskiego z malymi dziurkami wiec mala grzalke albo ladowarke do komorki jest gdzie podlaczyc. Jak bede jeszce kiedys mial odwiedzic Mediolan skorzystam na pewno z hotelu Kennedy. W Mediolanie warto kupiæ bilet komunikacji miejskiej na metro, tramwaje i autobusy dzienny tzw "Giornaliero" na 24 godziny jazdy kosztuje 3 euro i liczy sie od chwili skasowania albo na 48 godzin za 5,50. Nie ma ulg dla studentow.

7.4

Buon rapporto qualità/prezzo.

3.3

Not particulary clean. The hosts did nothing to make us feel welcome. There was mold on the walls of the bathroom. The towels were as cheap as you could buy. The overall quality of the furnishings was poor. I would never return nor would I recommend this place to anyone.

6.7

L'Hotel pur con i suoi limiti di spazio, (essendo situato al 6° piano di un palazzo condominio)è a 15 minuti a piedi dalla stazione e ben servito dalla metro di Porta Venezia, Camere arredate in maniera "elementare" e suppelettili di basso profilo, la stanza utilizzata aveva il lavabo in camera in stile inglese, ma anche una invidiabile vista sulla famosissima "Madunina" del duomo di milano (Camera 6) sconsigliato ai claustrofobici per le dimensioni dell'ascensore! Non abbiamo usufruito della colazione, anche se sarebbe divertente capire dove viene proposta essondovi un unico corridoio con banco Bar 1 metro per 1 metro.

6.1

my only real complaint was that the cleaners were a bit noisy when i was trying to sleep

8.9

Albergo pulitissimo, camera abbastanza spaziosa con balconcino e vista su Milano. Considerati i prezzi in città nel periodo della Fiera, è un indirizzo con un ottimo rapporto qualità-prezzo, centralissimo (accanto alla metro Porta Venezia) e confortevole. Anche la colazione essenziale servita in camera (non c'è sala colazione) con cappuccino, brioche e succo d'arancia vale i suoi 3 euro. Unico neo il rumore dalla strada, ma d'altronde si è al centro (corso Buenos Aires). Ottimo sushi-bar proprio nella via accanto, via Felice Casati (orario continuato 11-23).

6.4

A good budget hotel ideal for the short stay in Milan. Rooms very clean and staff efficient and friendly.

9.7

This is value for money. OK it's not the Hilton but it's clean, friendly and town centre. A true "tourist" hotel 10/10.

9.5

Es altamente recomendable por el trato amable y familiar , así como los servicios y el precio. La ubicación es excelente, muy cercano al Corso Buenos Aires y a todos los centros de interés turístico. Es para recomendar y volver.

9.5

This hotel is good enough for 1 or 2 nights. We stayed in the 4-bed room. It is not too spacious but it is still comfortable and clean. There is a metro station only 100 metres from the hotel, called Porta Venezia (Line 1 - Red), would be useful to indicate it in the website.

2.9

This is definitely the noisiest hotel I've ever stayed in. It's definitely not worth the money. While I appreciate Milan to be an expensive city, this hotel (I won't even call it a hotel, it's really just a floor on a building with some rooms), this hotel is way overpriced. I would get out immediately had I not booked for 5 nights.

9.7

Very pleasant people. Rooms and toilets were clean and well maintained. Very comfortable stay. Only problem was one night with other guests who partied all night. Would stay there again!

5.2

Acceptable for 1 night.Staff was very kindly but the room and bathroom is not so comfortable for this price.

6.4

about the price , i understand that there was a fashion week in milano during i stayed there , that's why it was more expensive . however i think it is too expensive .

9.7

the room was quite clean, the location is nearby those shopping streets, so, i will definitely come again next time coming to Milan

7.4

The hotel is basically OK, the staff is really friendly and for the price I paid, I didn't expect so much. The grid under the bed (I don't know how it is called, in german: lattenrost) was not so comfortable, so after 3 nights there I got a bit backache. If you are in a tight budget, the hotel is acceptable. Otherwise, I would rather look for another.

6.8

We simply wanted somewhere clean, central and cheap to spend a couple of nights during a trip to watch football, which is exactly what we got. Would not recommend for families or couples looking for a romantic hotel.

8.2

I would stay here again. I got lucky and had a room with a wrap around balcony. It was lovely place to sit and have my morning coffee.

9.6

Everything regarding the hotel was as I expected or better. Only disappointment was that there were some unclear details about credit card number. The thing is, when making a booking, money on the credit card account is reserved (in case of no-show etc). This money is frozen for weeks. No information about this procedure was available at the venere website.

9.1

The hotel staff was excellent, very friendly and helpful. The rooms were small, but very clean, as were the bathrooms. My room faced the street, which was quite noisy, even at night, though there are rooms which face the other side of the building. But, I would still definitely recommend this hotel, especially since the staff (especially the manager) are so friendly.

6.5

Although the furniture and fixture was quite old but in general the room was clean. For the price I think it was not too bad. ventilation of the toilet was not very good (a little smell when we came back at night). Close to metro (1 min walk) and central station (15-20 mins walk; suggest not to walk with luggage). Next to Corso Burea Aries (many shops)and 3 metro stops from Dumo and major shopping areas.

8.7

This hotel is ideal for a short break on a low budget. The quad room was ok in size and had a shower toilet and wash hand basin. The owners are very nice and helpfull.

7.9

great palce for getting your head down if on a short trip.close distance to almost everything. we were in milan for the football and would use again if i return.

7.8

I think it was cold in my room ,but I satisfy other things.

7.1

Family of 4. I was looking for a cheap one night stay near the train in Milan. That is exactly what I got. There was NOTHING bad, maybe lack of heat. But, the rooms are tired, the heat was lacking, and I would probably find another place if I was going back. You do get what you pay for. I stayed a week later in another hotel closer to the train with 3 this time and found a 4 star hotel, next to the train, for less money.

4.5

I spent much time to find the hotel. And I was very disappointed that the front clerk didn't speak English fully.

6.0

Small rooms but chain smoking owners kept it clean enough. Good location but expensive for what it is (Milan is expensive for budget accomodation).

9.1

The Kennedy is one step above a no-frills hotel. It offers a for-fee continental breakfast (coffee and a sweet roll) and a cash bar. That's about it. The owners are helpful and know English (the son is much better with the language than the mother). They are knowledgeable about things to see and do and how to get there by bus, tram, or on foot. Rooms are small but adquate and clean. The bathrooms, by small Italian hotel standards, are not excessively tiny; one can even bend down in the shower to pick up the soap! The primay advantage of the Kennedy is location. It is walkable from the Statizione Centrale (but avoid the walk with lots of bags) and the Duomo/Galleria Victorio Emmanuel II/La Scala/Montenapoleone. It is one block off a main shopping/eating/walking street (Corso Buenos Aeres). We'd stay again, but this hotel is not for anyone who needs more than bare bones accomodation.

9.2

For our first stay in Milan the Kennedy Hotel was,being room only was excellent for our needs.It was central to the city centre an very close to all the stations and airport.We will use this hotel again when we next visit.

9.2

Surprisingly high quality/price ratio. I can safely recommend this hotel to my friends.

7.1

It was adequate for one night of transition on our trip.

7.8

Small but exceptionally clean had no complaints what so ever and in Walking distance to Train station and main square. We were over for a Soccer game so only used it to get our heads down so it was fine.

8.1

The Kennedy was within backpacking distance from the train station (2-3 km, I guess) or a 8 1/2 euro cab ride. It is a 6 piano hotel but I didn't hear anyone playing. But seriously, you have to buzz at the street so they can open the door for you. Then you can elevator up. There was no ac in room 21, but there were fans and a nice corner balcony with chairs for viewing the activity on the city streets. The staff was most helpful in arranging for a wake up call and a cab for our early morning departure. They had a selection of reasonably-priced refreshments on hand which saved us a trip to market after a long day. The proprietors made this southern USA couple feel right at home.

9.7

For convience of location close to the Station Central, for service, security, and cleanliness it can't be beat. True, it is small but as a comfortable place to sleep I found it excellent.

7.1

We (4 girls) stayed for 3 nights and had a quad room. It had two seperate single beds and two single beds pushed together. It had an en-suite toilet and shower room (which was a bit close for comfort) but was very clean and the shower was good. Unfortunatley the room was facing the main road, and the trams were very noisy at night. Once we'd got over this though, I was very pleased with it. It's central to all the main parts (Central Station, Duomo etc) and I thought offered very good value for money. Would recomend this for a short stay.

8.3

My daughter and I stayed one night at the Kennedy. The elevator and the reception area are tiny, but adequate and clean. The room and toilet were spacious and clean. The three twin beds were comfortable. The coffee and croissant in the morning were very good. The staff was pleasant. The location of the Kennedy was excellent for shopping on Viale Buenos Aires. It was only a short walk from the cathedral area. It was about 100 yards from a metro station. I would choose the Kennedy again.

4.8

The room was good, but WC in the room was bad.

6.2

Convenient as MacDonald,internet cafe,laundry all within the block.However the hotel is far from Milan central station,don't try to walk,I made that mistake!Find Tram 5 and get off once your are on Via Tunisia(forgot stop name),hotel is 200 meter from the stop. The room are clean and staff competent; however the room door have not soundproof at all,so prepare to sleep and rise as everyone does.

9.8

A very pleasant stay. Great location, clean rooms, welcoming staff.
