Hotel La Residenza - Milan

7.8

Die Unterkunft war soweit ok, der Preis auch, wenn man bedenkt, daß man doch recht zentral wohnt. Wir hatten Pech, was die Nachtruhe angeht, ein Paar fetzte sich mitten in der Nacht auf dem Flur, Stöckelschuhe lärmten durch die Gänge, es wurde rumgebrüllt, vom Personal war nichts zu sehen.

8.7

Clean hotel. Friendly staff. Some disturbance from the road back of the hotel. The aircondition in our room was so efficent as wanted. Very good conections to the center of Milano with bus and subway. God value for the money.

8.8

This is my first time travelling to Milan. Everything was good - nice staff, tasty breakfast, clean room and bathroom. Besides, as we need to take the next plane at the early moorning, La Residenza can help us to book a shuttle van to the Milan Airport which cost us 80euros, I think it fit us a lot to catch the plane preventing from the heavy traffic. I recoommended this hotel a lot.

7.1

The surronding was offull - gheto. On streets non italians only foreigners from 3rd countries

8.6

Everything was nice. Difficult approach to centre. had to take bus and 2 lines of underground. Feeled not safe walking around at night. Very helpful staff, poor breakfast.Clean and nice rooms.

8.3

We stayed for one night only, but everything was good: staff, rooms, cleanliness,breakfast...RECOMMENDED for every type of clientele!!!

7.2

Wireless connection did not work in rooms or in lobby. Non-smoking room not provided.

6.7

We really enjoyed the stay and the only complaint is how noisy the room was. We stayed in the quad room which is right next to the reception desk which means you can hear the phone ringing and people talking. The breakfast was good and it is a good hotel for the price.

5.6

It should be clear from the start on the web that the hotel is quite far from the center. The hotel part is good enough (except for the narrow roomspace, though). The staff is fine. The trouble lies in the double standards concerning "ecology": on one side, the stress on the saving of energy cuts the hotel's expenses, for sure, "ecoworld" and all, but on the other side, the standard of quality for food is low and not ecological at all(there is not even a real "fruit juice no sugar added" for breakfast!). Why, if not for a one way profit that does not give a damn about customers ?

9.8

La Residenza was an excellent hotel to stay in. The staff was very helpful and provided us with everything we needed. The breakfasts and dinners were outstanding. I would recommend this hotel to anyone who wants to stay in a nice hotel but is on a budget.

5.3

My husband and I stayed here for a few days when travelling round Italy and France. Not a good area. Hotel was ok, however no garage and the restaurant was closed for the full of August which meant we had to go out all the time. We always had to take the car as the hotel is in the middle of the ghetto! The hotel is nice enough, and once you get in the grounds, you forget the surrounding area, but not good if you are not driving and want access to Milan centre as it's about 10 minutes in the car.

8.7

Especially nice was the eco-idea, which is why I chose the hotel in the first place. Arriving from Malpensa 1 to Bivosa, there was no other option than walking to Residenza, as no taxi was available. It was an adventure, without a map. Leaving the hotel was smooth, bus + metro. This information would be good to have on the website, as well as instruction (street map) how to reach it by foot. I was tired and soaking wet when I finally reached the hotel, but was received in such a nice way! Kitchen was closed, but a nice dinner was ordered from a pizzeria nearby. Breakfast next morning was rich and tasty. I especially enjoyed the atmosphere, which was kind, beautiful, tranquil. Lots of beautiful items to rest your eyes on. The ecohotel concept is here to stay! Nice bed, not too soft even for a person used to sleeping on a futon. No smoking was fine, I am allergic to cigarret smoke. My room was a single with bath. Very nice, thank you! Church bells ringing in the morning was nice, too.

7.9

Very friendly staff and rooms were as advertised. Ideal family hotel for overnight stay traveling to Italy. To vist Milan it is too far away from the city centre. Need to travel by bus and subway

7.4

I really like my stay at the Residenza and will return there in September.

3.0

The staff was gracious and helpful. However, I have never paid so much for so little.

9.0

i think its one of the best value for money hotels i have visited.the staff was quite helpful and the hotel was very clean.I think that renting a car is the thing to do if you want to stay in this hotel.I would certainly stay there again!

7.4

clean, peaceful, employees more than willing to help

8.8

Ottima camera,pulitissima.L'Albergo è molto carino,purtroppo la zona non è il massimo. Non ho fatto colazione quindi non posso dare giudizi

8.1

To far from the center of Milan, not a good communication with metro-bus.

6.0

Unfortunately this hotel is far away from the main city centre, bus and subway ride to be exact. good transport network in milan so getting to and from hotel was fine and very cheap. hotel was clean and well kept though. if i was going back to milan i would recommend staying beside the stazione centrale.

8.4

Room was very nice, just as described. Neighborhood was far from center and not so nice, would not want to be there without my husband! Considering we could have got great rates almost anywhere in August I would stay closer to center next time. Actually, I would never go to Milan in August, one of every 20 shops was open!

8.4

Bien qu'éloigné du centre de MIlan , cet hotel est à recommander... l'acceuil est hyper sympa et compétent .. tout le monde a le sourire et c'est vraiment trés agréable ...

7.5

The hotel was nice but was not pleased with the location. The listing stated a resturant yet when we got there was told that the resturant was not open and was given directions to a pizza place 6 blocks away. While the price was within reason an addition 15euro was charged for parking.

7.9

if you want a QulityVSPrice Hotel , its the better in milan! but the is nothing arrount the hotel, and you have to take the bus for 5 stops to metro and the more that 5 stops to Duomo.surround the hotel there is a school and a church.the garden was Great.

7.2

this place is very nice and clean. the only problem is that it is in a neighborhood that is far away from the center of the city. it is also not in the best location, the surroundings were questionable at night, esp. for 4 traveling girls. i probably would not stay here the next time i visit milan.

2.9

FIREST TIME I ARRANGED ANOTHER HOTEL BUT WHEN I SAW PICTURES ON INTERNET , I'VE CHANGED MY ARRANGED.THIS HOTEL VERY DIFFERENT TOTALLY HOW I SAW ON INTERNET.VERY VERY SMALL ROOMS, AND I COULDN'T SLEEP FROM LOUD.

7.0

Hotel very diffucult to find, breakfast for 6 years old son was charged. Other than this, the stay was OK.

7.6

Nice hotel, convenient to mass transportation, but a long way from the shopping areas. Nice breakfast.

7.3

Little bit further out that I expected, but once we figured out the bus and train system it was very cheap, quick and simple to get into the middle of milan. Once the next tube stop on the yellow line (3) gets built it should be even easier and take about 7 minutes. Area looked a little dodgy as we got a taxi to the hotel on the first night.. but the hotle was nicely secluded, the area looked much better in daytime. Breakfast was ok, but not amazing... rest of the food in milan was awesome.. especially the apertivo in navigli. Shame the coffee is only from a machine.. but if you pay cash its free so can't complain. Duomo was great too.. but the centre is pretty small and you can probably see all milan has to offer in a long weekend. Get the bus from the airport.. its only 10 minutes longer than the train, and costs half the price. To get to la rezedencia get the bus to the central station (4euro, 45mins) get the tube line 3 to the end (1e, 5 mins) and then get the bus (42, 70, 52?) 5 stops (1e, 5mins) then walk for 1 minute. Easier than it sounds.

6.2

they promissd a breakfast free of charge, but by checkout they told us: only when you payed casch by check in itis free of charge. !! thats not ok...or?????

7.5

We could not find the area of the hotel in the map. The hotel is found far from the city centre in a not so nice neighbourhood. It was difficult to find a restaurant nearby. We had booked a place in the parking of the hotel, but they had not keep it, because we had to call them before our arrival just to confirm the booking, as they had told us. So, we had leave our car outside the hotel, where it was very difficult to find a free place. The breakfast was marvellous and rich. The rooms were not so spacious, but they were clean. A young couple from Greece.

8.9

Our stay in La Residenza was very good. Reception was quite good. Transfer services of the hotel was very useful though a bit expensive. The elevator was not spacious and its floor used to make noise while you step in. Staffs at the reception was very helpful. The only exception was that we were not informed that eateries/reataurants nearby the hotel closes by 07:00PM while we were inquiring about a paticular restaurant (pizzeria) around 06:30PM on our first day stay. Breakfast served in the hotel was very good and staffs were around to monitor the needs of the guests. Once I misplaced my handycam batteries during my stay in the hotel, which were retrieved by one of the woman staff (who was quite impressive and attractive) from the transfer vehicle; in fact the driver of the transfer vehicle handed it over to the hotel staff.

5.1

property was much further from central train station than we expected-off the city map sold at station. Desk staff English was spotty. Highway behind was noisy. Shower drained poorly and room smelled musty.

7.4

We had a good stay in la Residenza. The rooms and the hotel were very clean with a lot of good details but in the photos the rooms semmed a little bit bigger. The personnel was very friendly and gave us a good reception and all the information we asked for.The breakfast buffet was good. If you know how the bus lines work, the hotel has a good comunication with public transport service with a very near bus stop. Only 20 min. from the centre. If I remember correctly you can take from Machiccini metro station the buses No. 27, 49 or 52 that stops 200 away from the hotel in Rossi Pastro bus stop. If you're going to Milan and you are looking for a nice place to spend that days I recommend you la Residenza

8.6

A very nice hotel, unfortunately a little far from town in a slightly dingy suburb. Journey time into the centre may improve when extension to metro is complete in 2007.

8.2

The hotel we've picked was mostly as we expected, except the capacity of room we got. The place was quiet, not so far from city center and clean. We have to admit that the staff was very nice and helpful 24/7. We recommend it for people who are going to visit a lot and need an asylum to rest for the evening

7.5

Good, clean hotel, looked like newly remodelled. The hotel is confortable to stay in for a couple of days. However, even though the hotel is not on a major street, the cars and trucks drive by the whole night long. We had to use ear plugs to be able to sleep.

7.9

Ein nettes,kleines Hotel,das wir gerne weiterempfehlen werden.Sauber,freundliches Personal und ein ausreichendes Frühstück.Gute Anbindung zum Zentrum (Bus/U-Bahn).

6.7

El hotel esta algo lejos del centro , pero tiene buena combinación de metro-bus, y teniendo en cuenta el precio, es recomendamble. Nos sorprendió que nos solicitaron el pago en efectivo, ya que de hacerlo en tarjeta nos incrementaban el precio de los desayunos de los dos por unos 60 euros. esto fué la parte negativa, por el trastorno y riesgos que tienes llevando dinero en efectivo por la calle. Nunca hos habia pasado en otros hoteles ?. a parte de ello, el hotel es recomendable y esta en una zona tranquila de Milan.

6.9

Grundsätzlich war es ein gelunger Aufenthalt, ein kleines aber feines Hotel. Das einzige was mir nicht gefallen hat war die Tatsache, dass ich mit einem PKW kam und diesen nicht wie auf der Homepage angegeben in der Garage des Hotels parken konnte, sondern auf öffentliche Straßen angewiesen war und dort überall Parkverbot war. Weiterhin habe ich mich sehr darüber geärgert, dass man mir erst beim bezahlen erklärte, dass bei Barzahlung das Frühstück inklusive wäre, bei Kreditkartenzahlung allerdings nicht. Das waren zusätzliche Kosten, die nicht geplant waren. Ansonsten würde ich das Hotel jederzeit weiterempfehlen.

4.4

No breakfast included. Too far out of centre and main road. Too expensive overall.

6.6

Kleine Zimmer und beim Frühstück ging es etwas planlos zu. Die Anbindung zum Centrum war okay. Im ganzen war es auch okay

8.2

La Residenza is a quiet and nice hotel.The room is very good for two persons. Looking the map, I thought the hotel was nearer to the historical center, but it´s easy, anyway, to get there by bus and metro. The breakfast is included in the price only if you pay cash.

7.2

The hotel was clean and well kept. The garrage has limited space, but not knowing the area I was not comfortable leaving my car on the street.

6.2

The hotel was far from the city centre. We had to use both bus and tube to get there. The parking garage was not free and the surroundings was a bit to noisy.

9.2

Pretty nice hotel not far from city center. Not expencive but with great money/quality value. Hotel's restaurant is nice too. One minor issue: rooms look bigger on the photos but anyway I'd like to recomend this hotel for everyone who needs small, clean, quiet hotel with welcoming staff.

9.2

Hotel was amazing! Staff was outstanding! They spoke perfect English. They sell bus and metro tickets. Only complaint is the hotel is quite a distance from the city center. But public transportation is extremely close and they offer maps at the front desk. Also, the breakfast was great! Fresh fruit and even omelets.

8.5

We were warmly greeted upon our arrival.The lady at the frontdesk called to the dining room, although 10min after closing,asked them to accomodate us.That night I asked another gentleman at the desk about making a creditcard phone call from our room and he said it was not possible and said the only way was to leave in the rain and walk to another street to make the call.He was not polite in telling us this.The next morning there was a poster on the front desk explaining how to make a credit card call from the rooms.

9.6

I really had a good time in this hotel. The staff is really friendly and capable. The hotel is located in the north of the city but not so far from the center of things(ten to fifteen minutes from the tube station by foot but many buses even late at night which means: 12h45).Rooms are not too noisy and quite large.

9.8

Following directions given on the Venere site it was very easy to get to "La Residenza" a charming hotel with many beautiful details and a good female touch. Bus stop at short walking distance and the city centre at no more than 20'. Very nice buffet breakfast in a nice dining room and a relaxing garden where I got a drink at candle light. The area was a surprise, it is quite, green and I felt safe walking by myself. I coudn't find a tabacconist open at 11.30 p.m. and this is not a good point for an international city as Milan. I accidentally lost my wallet with 500,00 euros cash within in the lobby and a waitress found it and left it at the reception. Very honest and kind staff. I can say that quality of services provided were excellent. THANKS and see you soon! Mrs. R. Brown

4.2

Les chambres sont propres et assez spacieuses, mais vieillotes. En revanche, les cloisons sont si fines qu'on peut entendre les voisins ronfler. Quand au bruit de l'ascenceur... un must. L'hotel est très mal situé, puisque dans un quartier glauque. Prévoyez une voiture à tout prix pour vous échapper vers le centre de Milan. Enfin, comble, un Jean nouvellement acheté a disparu dans ma chambre.

7.0

Hotel ok but in a down market area. Do not purchase tourist information as it is FREE at the tourist office in Milan. Easy to get to on local transport.

6.1

Nous avons eu de la difficulté à trouver l'hôtel car le nom de la rue pour y aller est le même que le nom d'une petite communauté avant Milan. Cela devrait être spécifié. Nous avons été déçu de l'emplacement car il n'y a pas de restaurant près et que c'est un quartier plutôt défavorisé. On s'attendait plutôt à un Bed & Breakfast. Nous avons été déçu. Mais le personnel en général est cordial et c'est un hôtel propre et bien tenu.

4.1

I would definitely never stay here again! Although their service was ok and friendly, the hotel itself was terrible. The walls are literary paper thin and you can here the other guests perfectly clear. The location was horrible! Way outside of the city center; however, you can take the bus to the subway and about 2 or 3 stops away... I would not stay in this hotel again.

9.8

The hotel and its staff were excellent! Little hard to find at first. Would stay again and definitely recommend it. Thanks again.

7.5

Nice hotel but in a bad area; difficult to find!

5.3

This hotel is far away from the center of Milan. We found it to be very expensive for where it was located.

9.9

We were very satisfied with our stay at hotel La Residenza. The staff was extreamly helpful in any way and spoke excellent english. They gave us directions to a pizzeria nearby where we had the best pizzas on our trip in Italy. We definitely recommend this hotel.

6.5

L'accueil du personnel est parfait. Les chambres sont climatisées.Après, ça se gatte. Hotel à éviter en aout (restaurant fermé. Heureusement petit déjeuner assuré). A éviter la semaine du 15 aout. La plupart des restaurants sont fermés. Mais cela ne dépend en rien de l'hotel. Il est conseillé d'avoir du liquide pour règler. Si vous le faites par carte banquaire, le prix du petit déjeuner ne sera pas compris dans le prix de la chambre.C'est assez inhabituel, d'autant plus que cela n'est pas précisé lors de la réservation. On vous annonce cela lors du paiement...

8.2

A pleasant and friendly hotel, although in August the restaurant was closed, as were most of the facilities in the surrounding area.

9.1

Wellkome was OK. The map they provided on the net was excelent. Services are good but the room was small. There is not writen on the description that you have to reserve the garage, and you have the surprise that there is a fee of 15 Euro for each day. Th neibarhood is not excelent but the connections with the center are good. The rate price/quality is excellent.

8.1

This was located in a residential area and next to the autostrada. It was difficult to find since we didn't drive in on the autostrada, although the map they e-mailed at booking did help some. You can catch a bus to the city center just down the street, if you don't want to drive in. The traffic on the autostrada was audible, it didn't bother too much, but if you're a light sleeper it may. We only wish they had had a mini refrigerator in the room. They allow 10 minutes free internet access, $4 per hour after that. The breakfast had quite a good variety to choose from. Staff was very friendly and helpful. They charge 1 euro for an area map which I found strange, every other hotel gives them to you free. They have pay garage parking for $15/ day or free parking on the street. You only get breakfast free if you pay cash and they do not take traveler's checks. Not sure what they charge for breakfast if you pay by credit card. They have a restaurant as well, but it was closed for August holidays. For traveler's who are not driving, I am not sure it would be the easiest, most accessible choice.

6.9

Sehr schönes Hotel, einfaches und reichhaltiges Frühstück; sehr saubere und neu renovierte Zimmer. in der Umgebung sind aber keine Möglichkeiten auch am Abend etwas zu unternehmen, dann muss man immer mit Bus und S-Bahn fahren, was bei 3 Tagen Mailand etwas nervt.

7.8

Un peu loin du centre, d'autant qu'un bus est nécessaire pour se rendre au métro puis dans le centre. Le quartier est sans intérêt. MAIS l'hotel est confortable, assez tranquile et on y est très bien pour peu que l'on soit un peu dégourdi pour visiter Milan. Très bon rapport qualité prix et bon accueil.

9.5

La Residenza was a nice, clean hotel with very friendly staff. On two evenings there was a party with loud music in the church-congregation beneath. But that is not all days ... The street is very quiet on normal days. There is a good connection via bus to metro-station Maciachini. We enjoyed our trip to Milano and recommend this nice Hotel. P.S. A rich breakfast buffet was included in the price after having payed by cash at arrival.

9.4

sometimes when I'll come back to milan I would like to stay at La Residenza again. excellent value for Price/quality!

7.9

Nuestra pretensión era pasar un fin de semana en Milán aprovechando las super ofertas de vueling.com.Buscabamos un hotel barato con buena relación calidad/precio.Es un hotel totalmente recomendable.Buen servicio,habitaciones adecuadas al precio pagado,limpias y silenciosas.El único 'pero' es que el desayuno no era demasiado abundante.Por lo demás el hotel resultó perfecto para nuestras aspiraciones.En caso de volver no nos importaría repetir.Totalmente recomendado.

7.8

A nice hotel a little bit outside the city center. You must use bus and metro to come to the center. Tickets can be bought at the reception. We stayed 3 nights. OK for the price.

8.4

hotel is very clean ,very impressive.staff can speak english this is very important to us.breakfast is excellent,different kinds of food are available.we got taxi from central station to the hotel cost about 8euro.it is better not go outside when is dark outside.Milan is not a clean city.but this hotel is highly recommended.

8.0

A little further out from city centre then we thought but access to public transport very close we were able to purchase tickets at reception and the staff were very helpful with directions. Needed to catch a bus then a take the subway all fairly straight forward. Breakfast included when paying cash

9.9

I reccomend this nice hotel to anybody. The area is quite and and I didn’t expect to find so much green! 3 lines bus stop close to the hotel.Room is clean especially the bathroom and all pretty new. Rich buffet breakfast and good dinner as well. Price versus quality at la Residenza is GREAT! Very helpful and friendly staff, they organized for me a transfer with driver to the main outlet….. I had a fantastic shopping! Thanks

8.8

Hotel staff was great. Very friendly and spoke great English! Rooms very clean and good Italian breakfast included! A bit far from the city centre but only a quick bus/train ride away!! I would recommend La Residenza to anyone looking for a great value in Milano! I would definitely return.

8.0

The hotel was friendly and clean. Directons were not too clear on first arrival but easy enough once we had been there for a while. The room we stayed in was lovely and was well equipped to accomadate 4 adults. The service received from staff was excellent and they helped with all questions we had.

5.7

Milano is a expensive city People are friendly and service minded To bad the Doumo was repaird when I stayed in Milano

5.3

I didn't appreciate that the Hotel changed the rate when I decided to pay by credit card instaed of cache . I had to pay 20 € more

8.6

hotel ok room to small breakfast poor overall 6/10

8.4

Ein sehr schönes Hotel zu güstigem Preis. Es war genau das, was wir gesucht hatten. Hätten Bauarbeiter nicht den Warmwasserboiler beschädigt, und somit für einen Warmwasserausfall für 2 Tage gesorgt, hätte es kaum besser kommen können. Das Hotel liegt zwar ein wenig ausserhalb von Mailand, ist aber durch öffentliche Verkehrsmittel sehr gut angebunden (20-25 min bis zum Dom). Der fast gegenüberliegende Supermarkt macht das Hotel ideal für Tagesausflüge. Das Hotel selber ist sauber und gemütlich. Zum Empfang gabs eine Flasche Wein. Die Bediensteten sehr Auskunftsfreudig (englisch) und nett, die Betten bequem, die Duschen auch für Personen über 190cm geeignet, das Frühstück gut. Zusammenfassend: zu empfehlen. Gerne wieder.

9.9

Absolutely a wonderful experience. Charming hotel very clean, quite rooms with a good working air conditioning. The buffet breakfast is really nice and served in a pleasant enviroment. Staff makes the difference: very friendly and professional they supplied clear and right direction to get to the center and what was worth to be visited. Thank you.

9.9

We enjoyed our stay

5.7

Directions given were accurate. This hotel is quite a bit away from the action. Construction work going on right outside our window - way too much noise.

10

Un oasi di verde e tranquillità non lontano dal centro e uno staff molto attento e cordiale. Camera nuova funzionale e arredata con gusto, fra i molti alberghi visti a Milano è uno dei migliori per rapporto qualità prezzo.Da visitare

9.9

A very nice hotel, with helpful and kindly staff, the restaurante was very goog, the room very clean and comfortable, the area was safe and quite with a lot of green. To reach the center is very easy by underground it took only 15 min. I'll come back for sure at " la residenza " also with my wife and childrens.

7.6

Very nice hotel and very friendly staff. The room is tiny but clean. The Web site mentioned that the breakfast is included but actually it is included if you pay cash only, I knew it before hand by the comments of other people. The direction on the web site is not up to date, so please up date it, I got lost the first date but the staff helped to know my way later.

7.6

Its a nice smallish hotel. Rooms are spotless and of good size. Dinner mune is a bit disapointing. Didn't go all the way to Italy to eat roast turkey and pork. Hardly any traditional recipes. Staff are nice, friendly and helpful. Only problem is that the venere map is very misleading of where the hotel actually is, its a lot further away from the city centre that first thought.

9.5

We did have a problem trying to find the place! Perhaps a bigger sign on the main street?

2.5

We were provided a room near the elevator. The noise made by the elevator all night long made it impossible for us to sleep. When mentioned to the person on duty the next day, she told us the place had just been renovated and made no effort to apologise or offer us anything more in the way of a discount for the inconvenience other than to waive the EUR 10 parking fee we would have been charged, even though there was no such mention of any fee in the description provided on their web page. A very unsatisfactory outcome and not a very welcoming hotel. Very far from central Milan and only found by chance due to poor signposting and inaccurate directions provided. Cannot recommend this property - grateful we only stayed one night!!!

7.4

If you pay cash instead of creditcard , you can have a free breakfast in the morning . But nobody keeps track of that , so if you pay by creditcard , you can get that free breakfast also . This is a nice/good hotel . Only one bad thing ; it's not near the centre of Milan .

7.2

Very good value for money. Slightly remote location, but a good bus connection exists. Only down side: the walls are paper thin. Make sure you book a room facing the garden, otherwise way too loud.

2.8

Not very serviceminded staff. No space at all in the rooms.

7.6

The hotel was extremely nice, with friendly staff, who had a good knowledge of English.

9.9

They kept the bar open for us!!!! Nice hotel, nice people but a bit of a walk into the centre of milan though.

9.2

good value for money hotel i would recommend this hotel for anyone coming to milan on business

6.4

For a short stay a good choice. Price and comfort - good relationship for a hotel in a main-city of Italy. Rooms are clean, people are friendly. Hotel is not situated near the centre but bus-station is very close and so you are in a few minutes in the centre.

8.8

Very good value for money.
