Hotel Sempione - Milan

First time visitors to Milan. It's not a charming neighborhood, but it's very convenient one, close to the metro at Pza. della Repubblica. Price reasonable for this expensive city. Clean and secure. Rooms are really tiny, but we didn't spend much time there. Breakfast is good, with croissants, cereal, yogurt, fruit, cappuccino, but the breakfast area is small. While the hotel is advertised as having air conditioning, it had not yet been turned on for the summer. With windows open at night, it was cool enough, but there was a lot of noise from the street.

A small room and bathrrom, clean and quiet. Within walking distance from the central station.

This was our first trip to Milan (at the end of a week in Sicily) and we loved it! Hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. Following the recommendation of one member of staff, we had the best meal of all our stay away, in the restaurant Da Giovanni.

Very convenient, clean, to consider as a smart solution when you are in Milan...Underground at 3 min walking ( restaurants and Mc Donalds nearby..)

The room itself was as Offered, clean and spacious, the only dissapointment was the restroom, it was really small and the shower even smaller. You can barely fit inside standing.

I have some difficulty walking so it was a little further from the Central Station than I thought. Not many restaurants closeby either. But, a good value!

We spent just one night in a double room and it was a good stay. The room was clean and quiet, just a bit small but for a short term stay was enough. Location is perfect if you travel by train and really next to the city centre. The only little complaint is about the hosts, not really welcoming. Good breakfast.

only a problem during our stay, the rooms are too hot to have to sleep with the window open all night, I think it is a waste of energy!

We were 7 girls in two rooms. The rooms were really clean. Not modern but functinal. Breakfast was good with fresh fruits, yoghurts and really good italian cappuccino. By bus or metro is it really easy to go to centre, also possibel by feet. We really enyoied end can recommend the hotel for people who like to travelle simple.

the room is clean. good location. wifi is kinda expensive and the receptionists are not that welcoming but they still do their job if u ask informations. good place for business trip if u have to stay in milan.

Rooms were small as expected for a european room. Accomodations were simple, as expected. Bathroom was tiny, as expected. All in all it was fine for what it was. If you're expecting the 4 seasons, dont stay here. If you want a place to sleep with a nice staff and a decent location in relation to travel points, its a good place

The receptionist who welcomed us was very brusque and flip so I dont think we will return to this hotel again.

Very good and nice hotel! All was exellent!!!!

Convenient business hotel in central Milan. We (my wife, 2 month old son and I) stayed for one night to attend an early morning meeting at the American embassy. The room was small, but clean. The breakfast was good and the staff was, for the most part, very friendly.

The hotel foyer was clean, renvoted and tready but the rooms definitely need major renovation. Bathroom very small. Breakfast was good, even the guy serving coffee was nice. Some of the reception staff, need some training with people skills. Very close to central train station but a bit far from Milano central (Duomo). Overall I enjoyed my stay.

Handy if you need to be near the railway station. 30 mins walk to centre, but quite pleasant really...

I went to italy n stay for three hotel n this one wasthe worst one.The morniing reception wasnot friendly n lack of customer service, the toilet was so small with bad smel as well. The shower room was horrible small that made me so uncomfortable . I would never book this hotel again n not suggest my friend to book it.

We passed two nights in this hotel.All the staff was very nice.Break fast Execelant.Hotel is in middle of the city.Ten minutes from the central train station to walking distance.Very quiet.No one will regret to come in this hotel.

A good hotel, with friendly service, good accommodations, in a good location, and at a reasonable price. We were very pleased.

Hotel staff (afternoon-evening) is not friendly but morning and night staff are ok.

Staff generally efficient and helpful although one of the reception staff had very few "people skills" and was a bit surly. Breakfast was simple but adequate and the waiter who served in the breakfast room was friendly and efficient.

Lovely hotel, staff very helpful, rooms were very attractive, especially the one with the balcony. Location is good, we walked to the central piazza, passing many beautiful shops.

The bed was very small for two people. Breakfast is served till 930 but if you come down at 9 there is hardly anything left.

We were told right off that we should think about upgrading to a renovated room. We should have done so. We highly suggest trying the better rooms. We had to pay for internet, which was disclosed, but that payment only covered a single device, so that was a disappointment. Breakfast was great.

Whenever we are in Milan we always stay in this hotel. By now we have stayed here ten times and we are looking forward for our next stay. Staff very helpful and friendly.

We had booked 1 quadruple 2 Triple rooms. i understand 1 bed added for the triple but even in those tiny rooms 2 additional beds were added and made into a Quadruple room. Besides that everything was nice the staff was very friendly and helpful. Very nice park next to the hotel with even a metro and the central station within walking distance.

quite good stay for this money. not in the city center but within 5 min walk to subway station. one night out of 2 was waked up at 4 am with awful sounds of garbage truck emtying containers. Hotel is offer parking around the corner and STRONGLY and PERSISTENTLY reccomend it for 20 euro, but there is other parking(next door to the hotel for 15 euro.it's ok, but you have to leave keys in the car. I did, nothing happened. overall I would reccomend this hotel for short stay.

The room (overall setting, bedding, bathroom etc.) was not fancy but ok for a short stay - we only stayed one night just for catching the flight next morning. Front desk staff was very helpful for providing traffic advices to me.

Was a day late for a two night stay and was charged for the late day. Short walk from the main train station. Was helpful with getting tickets for the last supper. Yes, I would stay there again. Good price value.

I expected a larger room. Even the toilet was a little tight. The breakfast was excellent. I would recommend it only for short stays.

Good as always !

Good location. The space was a problem, it was really tiny, both the room, bed and the breakfast hall. It was rather difficult to have a rest properly in that bed. When having breakfast it was quite impossible to move around. In the reception they were polite but not friendly. Thanks.

It was my first time in this hotel. The location is great. The room is good, not very spacious but clean and new. All the hotel is restored. Breakfast is good, according the price. I would return without doubt in a future visit to Milan. Sorry for my english. I don´t speak english very well. I would recomend this hotel to other tourists definitively.

the hotel itself was great, the price good, the breakfast included was great. location wise, only 10 minutes walk from central train station. very easy to get to from there. the staff were polite but stiff-necked, and did not take kindly to my request for a booking change. that's the only problem i had with them. overall i would recommend it, just be sure with your dates booked!

Finding the hotel is not easy and the map is not detailed enough to find your way in Milan if you don't know the city. An alarm kept ringing in one of the houses next to the hotel and therefore the noise never, ever ended during the whole duration of our stay. a whole evening + night + morning

When I got the hotel's confirmation letter, my room was written as“not renovated". So I worried how was it, but the condition was very nice,wide room, even with bath tab! So it was much better quality than I expected.

Very clean and modern hotel. Breakfast was excellent and the staff were very friendly. Very close to a metro station where you are only a few stops away from the Duomo and the old shopping mall. Supermarket round the corner. Would definately come back here - good value for money.

We were greeted by a man who did not seem to much care at all that we were arriving or that we might have questions. The room for 4 people indeed had 4 beds, but was so small it had no floor space -- none! An impossible situation. Price quoted was cheap, but not much value given for that! Though the porter and the breakfast staff were helpful and pleasant it was the worst hotel experience during 5 months in Europe!

Very good location. Friendly staff. Easy car parking. Good breakfast.

Great hotel close to center of Milano. Tasteful and clean interior, continental breakfast, friendly and competent staff speaking excellent English! Bathroom was small but it seems to be common in Italy. Great location close to a public park. We easily walked downtown. Will gladly stay again at Sempione!

The wiew of my room it's not good. From the outside came a constant noise due to an equipment installed in the ceilings below.

The location was excellent just a few minutes walk to metro stations. 3 stations to Duomo. For tired days there's a cafe&bar behind the hotel. Staff was very helpful and good humored. But bring your own laptop because there's no computer for using for yourself. If you're okay with walking few blocks there's internet cafe on the parallel street. Overall I recommend this hotel for its location, services etc.

Nice, clean hotel with friendly and helpful staff. Exellent location. Value for money.

I stayed in Sempione hotel 1 week and can definitely recommend it to everybody. What is good - it's close to metro (2 min), close to the center (15-20 min), lots of cafes and snack-bars around and shops for reasonable prices. Quite area, very helpful stuff, good work of chambermaids, sound proofing windows. What is bad - non-sound proofing doors and walls between the rooms.

The Hotel Sempione presents well with delightful marble entrance and the staff are most welcoming, the breakfast is substantial and included in the price. However our room (a twin) was very small and overlooked the airconditioning unit which was very noisy, as were other guests in the room below who were unfortunately Australian! The toilet seat had a large crack in it but when we said we thought they ought to know about it, it was soon replaced without further ado.The rooms were serviced everyday. We did have 3 nights/4 days in Milan and there is a facility at the hotel to leave luggage free of charge after check out if departure is late in the day.

Our room was very clean and well appointed as it appeared to have been recently renovated; however the room was really really small and the bathroom, though stylish, was also very small with a teeny tiny shower. There were two of us but the size of this room really more appropriate for a single traveller. The hotel is inside a nice-looking vintage building, but completely new renovation inside, perhaps a bit cold and sterile for my taste, but I know that this is the style nowadays. Overall not a bad hotel, but for the tiny rooms. Very convenient to the Repubblica Metro Station (500m more or less) and about a 15-min. walk from Milano Centrale RR Station.

We loved our room w/ balcony. Spacious and updated. The bed did sink in to the middle.

We arrived late after a delayed flight. We followed the instructions and took the Metro, and found the hotel easily. The night porter who met us was very friendly and helpful, but it turned out that he was retired and only covering sick leave. The day time staff were fairly efficient but nowhere near as friendly. The room was clean and suited us well, and the hotel was close enough to the Metro to make it easy to access the city centre.

We were visiting family in Milan and although the hotel was nice it didn't offer really good value for money. The room was very small and the breakfast was uninspiring. The staff were competent and brisk but not very friendly (with the exception of one).

Classical old style hotel with lots of rooms and located a few blocks from the train station, but far from Milan center. We spend here one night just to catch a flight so we looked for somewhere near the train station. The staff at the reception desk is kind enough, but won't help you with your bags. I was expecting that being a 3-star hotel (this is not a hostel or a pension). The room was very clean, with mini-bar and nice bathroom. Overall was good, but tiny. The double bed was too small for two persons to sleep in, and it was towards the wall, what made it even more difficult. We asked for wake-up service and a taxi at 6 am to go the the station. That's was Ok.

When in Milan we always stay at Sempione. Excellent breakfast, friendly staff, good location, modern rooms (a bit smaller than normal but good nonetheless)

The hotel is conveniently located 10min away from the train station and 20 away from the city center. The rooms are OK for a stay where you spend the whole day outside and just care for a bed at tight. The rooms are clean. Not noisy. They are really tiny. The breakfast was poor.location great.

Good option for a stay in Milan

Great !

Good location, safe area. Beds were pretty good. Staff helpful. Great value for the money. I have stayed there twice. Excellent breakfast. Quiet area but walking distance to Duomo.

Small, clean, compact room. Good value for money. Ideal for short stay in Milan. Very convenient location. 2 minute walk to the nearest underground station, 10 minutes to the Central station and Corso Buenos Aires and 20/25 minutes to the dom. Night shop around the corner.

surprisingly smart hotel for the money and great breakfast included . . good location not far from central station and 15 mins walk to duomo. would recommend to anyone, young or old!

Great location and nice neighbourhood. Had triple room with 3 adults and enough room to be comfortable which was unlike other experiences in Europe. Room was clean and nice with window onto street. Restaurant downstairs was also nice. Very noisy neighbours and could hear actual conversations so must have been quite thin walls. Front desk was very efficient and capable but not very friendly. Really enjoyed our stay and would recommend as a good option for others.

Very abrupt

Didn't enjoy my stay due to the following reasons:- 1)reception personel were unfriendly 2)took sometime to find the hotel as we there were a few exits from the train station and underground 3)Need to open the windows as the air condition could not be turned on(not provided per hotel) 4)Bitten badly by mosquitos

I liked it,clean,good breakfast,attentive staff.I`m happy!

Bed in dbl room is not suitable for 2 persons, too small. Good breakfast.

I loved Hotel Sempione. It is very close to the train station and just a short metro ride to the Duomo and shopping. The rooms were clean and spacious. The rooms were soundproof and the staff was very helpful. I will definitely be returning to this hotel.

Good location, close to Statione Centrale and Malpensa bus to the airport. Price is well balanced.

Slightly out of the centre (we reckoned 40 minutes walk to the Duomo, 55 to the castle) but plenty of trams and the metro, neither of which we got round to using because the walk was good. Very easy. Rooms small, but tidy and clean. Breakfast simple and nice. No problems with leaving luggage. Great value for money.

Very suitable for families spending a few days in the city. The public transport (underground to the center) is only 5 minutes from the entrance's door.

I was chuffed I use this website Venere.co to find my hotel and even more delighted with the hotel - it was perfect for all my needs- clean , quiet, with ensuite, air-con and breakfast included - what a find- central and safe area- brilliant !!

The hotel is located quite close to the central railwaystation and there are a metrostation (Republica) nearby. The area is OK, but not the most charming part of Milano. This is a good hotel for short visits. The rooms are clean and of good standard and the breakfast is OK. Because the area is rather dull and the hotel a bit impersonal I would recommend something else if you are planning on a longer stay. We only stayed one night on our way home, and for us the hotel served its purpose.

The hotel is near the train station, so it's perfect when you're travelling by train. It's also not that far from the center by walk (20 minutes) or by metro (10 minutes). The staff is ok but could be more welcoming. We lost our luggages at our arrival in Milano and the staff wasn't very helpful. Overall, it was a could place considering the price we paid!

Very clean, with helpful professional staff.

The hotel is very well located, between Central Station and Piazza Duomo, both of which can be reached easily on foot or by metro or tram. The staff were efficient and friendly. Porto Venezia nearby had some nice restaurants or it's easy to get to Navigli by tram or metro if you want the buzz. My only quibble was noisy people in the halls early morning or late at night, but that's common to all hotels.

Very nice hotel at a very good price, location is great, just a short walk from an underground station which is only 3 stops away from the centre of Historical Milan and there are plenty of bars/restaurants just a short walk away. The staff are very welcoming and friendly and I would definately stay here again. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that I could get a direct train to Malpensa airport from the same underground station that I had been using for the last few days.

Hotel Sempione is good and inexpensive. The service is good and breakfast versatile. Also the location is good (near Metro station and main railway station).

Absolutely satisfied.

No air conditioning during May. The little trouble is the noise from the road at nighttime. when we open the window for our ventilation.

The Hotel is very clean and renovated. THe staff is very helpful and courteous. The surrounding is very nice and safe. Many good restaurants in the area and close to a subway station. The continental breakfast was very good and copious. All in all we appreciated our stay at this hotel ...

good hotel, exellent pisition, near metro and central station, district very quiet, good breakfast, non t expensive, we had 2 romms very nice.

very very noisy room and poor welcoming

Extrasmall single room, with dated furniture and bath. Unfriendly and cold staff.

I tried to get the same room as last time, and enocoutered a fiasco. The room I got now was awful, I have never seen the smaller bathroom and shower in my life), but the most unpleasant thing was the unfriendliness of the personnel. it looked as if guests were very irritating. On top of this we were charged for the second cup of coffe at breakfast(I am afraid that guests are only entitled to one)without any notification. I just got 8 euro extra on the bill(an expensive cup!) VERY disappointing. Will never recommend it to anybody and never come again

Ok for Milan price. Room decor A bit dated but still comfortable enough for the price and very near metro station. Easy access to metro.

We spent 3 nights at Sepione on jan.2010. Location of the hotel is perfect - 10 min.walk to central station and to Corso Buenos Aires, metro station at the corner. Rooms a bit small, but very clean and worm. Breakfast excellent for Italy. All in one the relationship between price/quality is excellent

If you like an early wake up at Saturdays and Sundays by screaming cleaning ladies, you wish a person at reception desk with a face telling “ don’t waste my time, have a newspaper to read” that’s place for you. Otherwise stay as far as possible from this place, pity because the position of the hotel and it’s architecture are really good.

This hotel is quite good, with a very nice position, I would certainly recommend it

I would stay here again.

Fine for a night. Aircon Unit is directly in front of the first floor rooms, so an enormous noise when opening the windows, inside the room constant low level noise. The rooms are nicely designed and extremly clean. But they are also very small, so only recomendable for a short stay. The location is ideal!

perfect location for seeing the city and getting to the railway station. we enjoyed it.

Wonderful experience. Highly recommended Breakfast room could be bigger, however this was not a problem

The hotel is about 15 minutes walk from the main central attractions, but the surrounding area is nice enough - some great restaurants and bars close by and also next to a couple of indoor garages. The daytime receptionist was a little surly but the nightime staff were great. Breakfast was excellent - especially the fresh coffee. The room and bathroom was on the small side but clean with all amenities.

Breakfast is ultra simple do not expect much from this. Nice size room can stand to add in better decor. Do not open the balcony door during the (spring to fall)evening mosquitos! Evening front desk person reviews are true. Daytime front desk person (Angelo) nice guy. Nice location, Close access to metro and 10 minutes to central train station by taxi.

Excellent 3-star hotel in the area where we wanted to stay. The room was not particularly spacious, but was more than satisfactory for our needs. Excellent breakfast.

nice, quiet and good location. the bathroom is too small

It's not true that there's a wifi in the lobby. The toilet and shower are small. Overall, it's ok.

The hotel is close to the Republica underground station, form there it is a short trip to anywhere in town. Living on the third floor we did not experience any noise from outside, and there was little noise from inside the hotel. This is a cheap hotel, so you get small rooms and an adequate breakfast in a small room, but we were not in Milano to enjoy the hotel room, we were in Milano to view all the sights. As such the hotel fitted our needs perfectly. For 3 euros you can get a day pass at the underground and the hotel is just a few stops from all the central stations. So this was a cheaper solution than to live in the city centre. There are also lots of restaurants within a 10 minutes walk of the hotel.

deuxième séjour dans cet hotel qui répondait à notre attente. Le seul défaut de la chambre; la salle de bain vraiment trop exigüe même pour une personne de faible corpulence.

The hotel was close to the railway station (Centrale). It was clean and relatively quiet. The initial welcome at the front desk was quite abrupt and surly. It improved with time. Overall, a good hotel at the price for a night or two.

This is a clean hotel with modern, clean rooms. The staff were friendly and helpful for the most part. One staff member was less than helpful. The restaurant in the hotel was very good.

Sempione is a comfortable hotel in a convenient location. It is close to both a metro station and supermarket which we always useful when travelling. A couple things to mention about our recent stay there. (1) Upon check-in we were advised that a room was not available at the hotel for our first night's stay, but they had booked a room for us at the nearby Hotel Ibis - a little inconvenient, as we had to check in and out twice. (2) On one occasion, our room door was left unlocked after cleaning. Obviously we complained (hopefully enough) to ensure it didn't happen a second time.

First night, our room had been let to someone else(despite we made a booking 2 months in advance!)BUT the reception guy has been very nice and funny and had already been arranging everything for us to stay at the Ibis Hotel across the street for the first night, which represented little hassle to us. The only problem we had is no shower curtain, hence slippery floor and wet shoes :-) On the positive side, the hotel is very well located, close to the Central Station and the area is green and relatively safe. The hotel is clean and the room well equiped with air con, mini bar, flat screen cable TV on the wall, hair dryer, shampoo, soap, in short all mod cons you'd expect in a real *** hotel...with reception 24/7. Generous breakfast (for Italy) with healthy options such as fruits and yoghurts but also fresh croissants on a Sunday morning... The staff was extremely friendly, kind and fun, offered us cappuccinos when we missed breakfast :-P and were always happy to have a chat and help with directions. I think it's been a great experience overall and I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone.
