Hotel Mennini - Milan

6.8

A basic room in a basic hotel. The staff was cool and unhelpful (a request to reserve a spot at the Last Supper was declined with the explanation that you have to make the reservation months in advance; a phone call to the site got us a reservation the next day). Easy walk to the train and Metro station. Breakfast was plentiful and good.

7.5

Not the cheapest hotel, but reasonable price. Location was the most important thing: just few hundred meters away from the railway station. Difficult to say anything special, because I arrived about 9 p.m. and left the hotel at 4 a.m. next morning!

1.9

My husband and I stayed here for two nights in May and were horrified by the snobby hotel staff, something we didn't run into anywhere else in Italy. Their "double" bed isn't double sized, more like a large twin that doesn't fit two pillows wide. Since my hubby is over six foot, we were pretty cramped. The AC is a window unit, and ours made a terrifying racket. After it warmed itself, it sounded like it was falling out of the window every 15 minutes. But it was 90º outside, so we needed it on even at night, though it scared us awake. We got used to it, however; we'd shut it off, then wake stiflingly hot and turn it on again for another hour until it freaked out, repeatedly through the nights. Other than the AC issue, everything worked fine, though fixtures were old and spare. Hotel puts out a good breakfast and things were clean. The overall cost is far too high for the age of the rooms and furnishings, and the staff is dishearteningly unfriendly. It is a quick walk from the train station and easy to find, but the neighborhood is a bit sketchy, especially at night. I wouldn't stay here again.

8.4

It is a good hotel with confortable and clean rooms, employees are very polite, brekfast is good, price is low for a Italian hotel and is located very closed to Milano Central Railway Station. A very good choice!

1.8

I have scarcely ever had a more unpleasant stay in a hotel. I was a woman traveling by myself. I asked specifically for a very quiet room, as I was extremely tired and coming down with a cold. I went to dinner, came back and went to bed. A few minutes later someone started dumping glass bottles for several minutes in the bottom of the area right below my room. It was very noisy and kept me awake until about 11 p.m. I then went to sleep. at about 3 a.m. a person started hauling around paper and garbage in the same area directly below my room, and continued to do so for over an hour. I called the desk, asked them to stop it, and they did nothing. I finally yelled out the window to stop. The man said it was his job, and kept it up. At 5:30 I finally showered, and went down and asked that the desk person confirm my return flight. He could not get the airline on the phone, nor could he print out my travel documents. I asked for an early breakfast since I'd only gotten 4 hours of sleep: "No , we serve at 7 a.m" so I went to the train station, got some food, went to the airport, waited another 3 hours, then went home. It was my worst hotel stay ever!

3.9

The hotel was not 150m from the central station as described. It was about 10 minute walk from the station. The checking-in was efficient. The hotel staff were polite. The room initially looked ok. The bed was just good enough to sleep. The bathroom was not small, but poorly designed (the space was rather wasted). The toilet was quite strange but was effective. The shower (in the bathtub) was weak and the bathtub was disgusting. The air-conditioning was so noisy that it really disturbed our sleep. We felt like we were sleeping in a construction site. We were in Milan in June and it was hot and humid (about 30'c everyday). The air-conditioning was attached to the window (similar to the ones in New York) and when it rained, it added spectacular noise (the sound of the rain hitting the unit) to the already extremely noisy unit. Because of the dirty shower and the noisy air-conditioning, we will not return to this hotel again. The breakfast was ok (not exciting, but rather eatable food). There weren't many places to eat near the hotel. The area surrounding the hotel was very quiet (there was nothing but apartment blocks). The only places we found were an outdoor wine bar next to the entrance to the hotel and a Japanese restaurant run by Chinese on the other side of the block. As it was quite hot to sit outside even at night, we tried the Japanese restaurant (air-conditioned). It was cheap but was surprisingly nice. But as our Italian was very basic (they speak Italian or Chinese, but not English), we had a minor language barrier. But it was nothing like having to tolerate the air-conditioning noise or the disgusting shower.

4.3

This hotel had really deserved its 3* in the past. Unfortunately, the last visit was a nightmare. To save their money on your health and comfort, the management was so "clever" to put so called "centralized airconditioning"! Beware such hotels during the summer time, which have this type of conditioning. First of all it did not work well at all, no cold air arrived to the room, but rather slightly warm airstreams. After the 4 hours of activity my room still had the same temperature as it was outside, about 28! Second was the noise, that made this device. Such approach for their clients is absolutely inacceptable for the 3* hotel, so I downgrade it to the ordinar 2*.

6.4

I was came to milano for business.

6.5

Good option near Railway Station

4.8

the hotel is near central st. surroundings and breakfast is good. but price is too expensive.

5.8

The next room was noisy all night until 4:00 a.m.

2.6

Poor rooms and cold in winter. Very small bathroom

8.8

Comfortable hotel and very good quality service

7.0

Unhappy with breacfast. But everything else is value for money.

8.4

We have been to Milan several times and i would say this is a good quality basic hotel. Staff are very pleasant and the location is ideal for the train station and bus drop off points. We'll probably be back...especially if we get Inter in the next round! Hail hail.

3.1

just ok

7.9

Nice and good hotell which I would choose again if I´ll go to Milano more times. Earpluggs is a good idea if you are sensitive about noices when sleeping, as on many places.

9.8

It is very centrally located to the train station which was very important to us. The staff was very helpful and friendly. Great breakfast and good price for Milan.

7.8

Hotel had computers available at a very reasonable price per hour.

7.6

Good location near to central rail station and Metro. Only one complaint no First Aid Box in hotel.

6.6

The hotal is located cery close to the train station, only 5 min. walking. Goof for a short stay of 1 or 2 days for a quick tour of Milan. We only stayed for 2 nights as a stop over hotel for our Italian tour. The room was exceptionally small but no worse than many European hotel of this class. Not particulary bad or good.

2.5

Booked the hotel at the last minute. My usual hotels in Milan were unavailable, so I tried the Mennini. I arrived late from Genova and was greeted coldly at the desk. I needed to meet friends at Malpensa quite early so I let it slide. The room was as big as an Italian closet. The bed was big enough for a child. I am 6'1". The bathroom was bigger than the sleeping area of the room. A friend drove from Pavia to pick up some books from me and they would not allow him to come to my room. They said I had only paid for a single and no one else could be in the room. I was very embarrassed and angry. In over 40 years of travel, I have never heard such a ridiculous comment. I left at 5:30 that morning for Malpensa, no breakfast and no sleep. I should have slept at the airport. It would have been cheaper, more comfortable, and by far, more friendly. A disaster!

5.7

Welcoming is not the best.... not cheap, but it was ok for just 1 night.

8.1

Easy to find near to the Stazione Centrale. Clean, tidy and proper.

9.2

Expensive but near by Railway Station make the deal acceptional.

8.1

Just a nice hotel. And close to the railway station. But, the aircon is not working well during the hot summer day!

6.4

Cost performance is good. Very conveniente to every kind of stations and shopping too. But noisy air conditioner is problem when I stay July. But total perfomance is good compete with price.

9.5

Especially friendly staff and good prices. The perfect place to choose if you need to stay nearby the Milano Centrale railway station.

8.0

Clean room. Competent and very helpful employees. Well located, close to Central Railway Station and Corso Buenos Aires (shopping area). In my room air conditioner was very noisy. May be a problem if you need to keep it on while sleeping. Narrow choice of fresh products for breakfast. Good relationship price/quality.

5.3

We were misled by the photos in the hotel site, the room we had for 3 was very small, with a very ascetic furnitures, try to avoid the city if you are not in a buisness tour and you want to be near the central ctation.

8.4

This Hotel was reasonably close to the main train station and Metro. However we did have to dodge some seedy looking characters on the walk from the station to our Hotel. Both the main room and bathroom were spacious and clean. The continential breakfast was adequate. The room had a mini bar and there was a computer with internet access (for a good price) in the lobby. If you are used to eating dinner early (i.e. 6:00PM) you will be dining at McDonalds as the nearby restaurants open at approximately 7:30pm.

7.9

Ok per una notte va più che bene, specialmente se si deve rimanere vicini alla stazione centrale. Pulito!!!

8.9

I stayed in milan 2 day coz of work and i choose this hotel coz it was near my work. The hotel in general it's nice but the surrounding i didnt liked it.

9.5

tutto ok a parte che per trovarlo ho faticato un po in quanto sulla mappa non è indicato con precisione

8.2

Bad map. I've looked for this hotel for 40 minutes from Milano Centrale

7.7

Very good relationship between price/quality. Room simple but clean. Very confortable the breakfast till 11.00 am. The only problem was the noise from air conditioner machine. An internet point is available at the first floor for free.

7.6

Tiled floor, very spartan room in need of renovation, but comfortable bed - Renovated and clean bathroom - Very poor breakfast - Mini bar prices too high.

7.9

Rooms are average and clean. Bathrooms need to be renovated. Excellent location with easy access to both Metro and Central Station.

9.9

Was given very nice room and it was kept very clean. Staff were very friendly. Amazing value. Very close to Central Station and Bus to airport. Would use again and recommend.

8.2

Hotel very centrally situated .Room comfortable but small .Breakfast could improve with some hot food .

8.3

clean, comfortable, well located, good value for the price. Cleaners a bit slow however, still cleaning quite late in the afternoon, and our room always seemed to get done last.

8.8

Nice hotel with excellent price/quality ratio, 3 minutes walking from Milan Central Station and Metro. Friendly family owners.

9.9

We were very satisfied with the welcoming and the receptionists, they were always very kind and helpful, especially our friend "jimmy". We will come back for sure..Breakfast was good and the rooms were big and quiet.

8.7

carino, a due passi da metro e stazione centrale, è abbastanza pulito, il personale gentile anche troppo.

8.3

Conscierge was very helpful. Hotel was very easy to find and close to the main railway terminal.

9.4

Mennini is a good place to stay. Close to the station and good service. If I have a chance to coming back to Milano, I will stay with them again.

7.8

We enjoyed our stay in the hotel Mennini. The rooms are clean but not very spacious.

8.0

Fairly noisy rooms if facing road (early morning rubbish collectors etc) and from next rooms (running water/voices etc). Overall, good place to stay, good breakfasts, clean rooms, and close to central station and main line into city centre.

7.8

A good clean hotel set in an excellent location for exploring Milan and the surrounding areas.

6.7

Nice enough hotel, but condescending manager, who was arrogant and unhelpful.

7.7

I am a frequent guest to this hotel and I know it very well. The hotel is good from the point of view of its location, very close to the main station and other facilities. The rate for this period of the year sounded good and the standard of services is also good. Thanks for VENERE.COM

9.8

Satisfied with the hospitality with very attractive rate.

7.2

I enjoyed my trip to Italy and we had a very nice time at the hotel Mennini. It was located close to the cenral station and offered good service. The breakfast was good and the breakfast crew was very nice. If i should come back I would probably choose your hotel again.

8.0

Hotel Menini is a plesant place with very helpful, kind people, who are verz competent in their job.

7.4

A good hotel in the centre of Milan, close to public transports

7.9

The hotel met our needs but Milan is soo difficult to drive in and the map on the website was not very helpful

6.6

I payed €120 for a two night stay. The room (nr. 408) was confortable, although with an old bathroom (to be roughly dated to the early sixties)and without a normal armoire with normal doors. Good continental breakfast. The surroundings are full of hotels, from average ones to luxury. At € 60 per night Mennini is probably a little expensive for the quality of room, but is not a bad choice if you have to stay one or two days in Milan.

9.5

Although the hotel is very basic, it is comfortable and the staff very very friendly and helpful. I think the rooms can be made a little more comfortable and nicer to look at by spending very little money on them. Overall all it was good value for money.

7.9

The Location was very convenient for Bus, Train, Trams and Metro. Although the Breakfast was tasty the variety on offer was restrictive.

4.9

I was really annoyed to learn that the hotel which i booked through your site did not have any booking when i reached there. Luckily i was holding the print out of your sites confirmation of the booking. But then also the hotel staff made us wait for quite a long time before giving us the room. Am sorry to say but it was not a memorable experience.

3.8

Hotel stuff was NOT kind and we were NOT satisfied this Hotel. 1)we don't know how to operate the safty box, but hotel stutt did NOT explain. 2)we requested the double room but the bed was the twin. 3) very noisy air conditional. 4) No parking space -- we have to pay additional 18euro for one nigth car park. 5) the bed light did not turn on.

5.4

very very noisy air condition, several problems with electricity, no light. problem is known with the staff an exists already a long time but nobody is up for a solution

7.8

very good and welcoming place price vs. quality was excellent great breakfast

7.9

For a short-term visit, the Menini is a good choice. Not as near to the Stazione Centrale as we had been lead to believe, but still a fine choice. Our room was ready at 9 a.m., so we could clean up and rest after our transatlantic flight. Most welcoming staff at the front desk.

8.1

We realy appreciate the correspondence between web pages and actual property.

8.1

A very nice hotel w/ welcoming, English-speaking staff. Not so near the train station as we were led to believe. The street isn't easy to find even w/ map and directions from bystanders--especially w/ luggage in the pouring rain. However, the room was ready at about 9 a.m., a relief after our transatlantic flight. A good value for a big city. I'd recommend the Menini to anyone for a short stay in Milano.

7.8

Location is good. Near Milano central station. Mr.Ciani speaks Japanese. It is helpful for Japanese traveler.

6.2

This hotel is a little bit expensive,because this hotel is not so clean and there is no special service. Bat, I think that this hotel exists near the station very much. It is very convenience for a traveler.

8.0

Place was clean,specially,bath room. People were very nice and friendly.

7.6

The gentleman who checked me in and out was especially helpful. I found the baggage man disrespectful.

7.1

The first room they reserved for me was a small room wýth wýndow lookýng to a wall. I insisted on for changing the room. They offered me a new one looking to the street...

8.7

The hotel is conveniently located, although it would be helpful to have a map with directions from the central train station. The hotel was very quiet.

9.4

Very polite and helpful staff. Nice room, good convenient location, but a little noisy. Would stay here again.

8.7

The room corresponded to the information displayed on the web page. The booking was also very easy to do.

10

This hotel matches any four stars hotel. The location is very convenient and the staff very friendly and helpful.

6.5

It is hard to rate a hotel when you stay only for one day, but I tried to be fair.
