Hotel Star - Milan

4.2

Too expensive hotel for the standard provided. Also it was very poor that there were no english-spoken news-channels on the TV provided!

6.5

The location of the hotel was very nice! (about 5 minutes walk to the Duomo) Hotel personnel was friendly and competent. Rooms are rather old but clean. Toilet was new but very narrow. Breakfast was a small buffet ("microwave" scrambled eggs, bacon, panini, yogurt, some cereals, juice and of course, nice coffee!) I would not say cheap but reasonable for its location and a stay of one to 3 days

5.5

The room was much too noisy (trolley passing in the nearby street).I recommend earplugs! An effort could be made to spruce it up (old furniture, everything is brown or beige: depressing; it was also a bit small). The advantage of the hotel is its great location.I would return to this hotel only if given the garantee of a quieter room. People at the reception desk were friendly and competent.

10

Great central location.

9.6

The staff were uniformly freindly and helpful. THE star for me at Hotel Star, however was Maria Vittoria. She called taxis, instructed the drivers... even helped with carrying it. I can honestly say it's one of my best hotel esperiences ever. Congratulations all!

8.7

If you visit La Scala, it is perfect, just 5 minutes' high heels walk.

9.8

Location is perfect. The atmosphere is very welcoming and all the people working there are extremely friendly, helpful and motivated. The structure is a great 1930-40 type sadly "partially reworked" during the 70ies and could use a bit of tlc but the care for the cutomer that I have experienced there is just fantastic and overcomes all the rest. Good on Hotel Star!!

9.3

I strongly recommend this hotel

8.9

Nice hotel in excellent location, single room was a bit small and somewhat old-fashioned, in particular the shower, but ok for a short stay. Staff was extremely pleasant.

9.4

The staff were extremely welcoming, friendly and eager to assist. A perfect place to stay if you are visiting La Scala, as the hotel is just a two minute walk away from the theatre. I would stay here again.

7.9

Sólo 2 días. Habitación-baño pequeños pero confortables, limpios y bien equipados. Staff amable. Hotel muy bien ubicado en calle muy tranquila. Buen desayuno

9.6

Although small and not full service for meals (the breakfast was very good and necessary items were kept cold, unlike some other hotels)- the location was perfect for a home base in the City. Rooms kept clean and tidied up twice a day. Lobby had all types of tour, travel books, and info for all excursions, museums (and in English), etc. Maria was very helpful in answering questions and offering alternatives. She was absolutely wonderful!

9.8

Stayed a weekend with my wife in Milan. The hotel was perfect for us - cosy, nice, clean and 200 m away from the Scala and a bit more from Duomo. Could manage our way just walking by. Would recommend to anyone!

9.1

The hotel is ideal for business travelers in the historic center, and tourists who want to walk to the many points of interest in historic Milan. We were just five minutes' walk from the Galleria, the Scala and the Duomo!

9.6

Location was fabulous!! The Star hotel was a great find. The Murals around the hotel we loved. The staff were very helpful, suggesting restaurants, pubs, etc.Fanastic value for the rooms, plenty of space, ours had a walk in wardrobe and hydromassage shower. On our last morning having breakfast we were planning our next visit there! Highly recommend it.

9.6

clean rooms and excellent breakfast. Nice staff, very attentive. We stayed just overnight, but the hotel was close to everything that was open on a Sunday. Next time, I would like to stay there again.

6.6

room on 4th floor was close to air condition engine ans consequently too noisy

7.4

Los baños estan muy limpios pero de alguna manera deben cuidarlos ya que es fácil resbalar y caer. Los complementos son muy buenos.

6.3

It's not recommended for single peoples... or single room!

9.8

Very pleased with our stay except for the occasional noise due to the fact the cleaner's closet was next to our room. A very minor thing given the quality of the service, location and overall good experience we had. Excellent location to the tourist sights we wanted to visit; walking distance to the Duomo (don't miss going to the roof), the Galleria, many resturants, castle. Safe area, pleasant experience-would stay here again. If you fly in to Linate Airport, make sure you take the white, official cabs lined up at the curb; as you exit the airport, you will be hit by a number of people asking if you want a taxi--they are private companies that cost much more than the white cabs. And be sure to book way in advance the tickets to the Last Supper.

8.5

One employee, Victoria, stands out for her kindnesses and constant good cheer. The location is perfect for sightseeing- in the middle of everything. My room was tiny but adequate. Breakfast was average.

8.6

Location was very convenient for central Milan-business and shopping. The taxi driver knew exactly where it was. It was a short ride from the Centrale Station. Room was very clean and staff very helpful. I would definitely return again.

9.0

Agree with other visitors, spotlessly clean,very polite and helpful staff, and a wonderful central location.Lots to see in Milan, we particularly mention two:- The rooftop visit of the duomo. The short tramride to Ciminentaro Monumentale,vast cemetery with hundreds of fabulous statues etc set in parkland

8.6

good location. Receptionists are kind.

6.9

Small central hotel near Scala. Good choice even if it is costly against the hotel class. Too much waiting time to pay the bill due to a group departure in the same time.

9.1

It was my first time to stay in Hotel Star. It was nice, and I will repeat it again.

7.8

This was the first time I had visited Milan and the hotel was in a great location for walking to all the main attractions.

8.6

The Star Hotel has got the best location, right behind Scala and just 5 mins walk to Duomo. The rooms (I had 2 rooms booked) were spacious, clean and quiet, one even has a huge bath tub. Kettles were provided in every room which was a bonus (it's the only hotel provided during my stay in Italy). The staff were very helpful. Free internet service at the lobby. The only flaw perhaps was the tiny breakfast area with just less than 20 seats.

9.8

an excellent small hotel just in the center of Milano - next to the opera, the cathedral and center malls. Extremely good value for the money. The hotel rooms are functional and clean, satelit tv with multilangaul progamms. Friedly and helpful employees. All in all a place to come back.

5.8

The hotel location was excellent. The morning staff were very helpful and efficient, but at other times of the day, dense and unhelpful.The breakfasts were lovely and the waitress a delight. The rooms had paper-thin walls nd were no barrier to noises from other rooms or the street. Our wakeup call on the day of departure was 45' late.

6.5

The Hotel is very conveniently placed close to the Duomo, the Scala Theater and the corporate center of Milan. It is in a very quiet small street, very convenient to reach touristic sites and banks. Breakfast was ok and public rooms have nice fourniture and have been freshly remade. On the contrary the room was really old, although very clean, and definitely not as spacious as one would expect for the price. Fourniture dated back to the sixties, I would say, and the promised hydromassage or sauna did look a bit old and not really inviting as well. The reception was not really friendly (as far too often in Italy) and not terribly collaborative in case of need. They also entered the room while we were out for dinner, for unknown reasons.

7.5

Everything was fine, except light coming in through the window early in the worning ; no opaque curtains. Also, in the morning, the service employers talked louder when cleaning

9.2

The central location and the nearness to Teatro alla Scala (we stayed at the hotel for a Scala performance). We plan to stay again at the Star Hotel.

8.9

Quiet, nice, clean and modest small hotel with great location. Excatly what we were looking for!

9.2

Already recommended this hotel, especially for its helpful staff and its location.

9.9

We were very pleased with the hotel which was lieterally beside the attractions we intended to visit namely, the Duomo and La Scalla and reasonably close to the Dominican Friary with Michael Angelo's painting The Last Supper. The reception staff were most helpful with Vittoria and Bruno providing assistance for any request and sound advice on where to go, how to get there and good recommendations on where to eat. The night we arrived we had a late dinner at the Bella Vista right around the corner from the Hotel Star and the following night enjoyed a very good dinner at Emilia and Carlo's Restaurant about a five minute walk from the hotel. Hotel Star is located on a small street close to the Metro and main bus lines which granted access to all parts of the city without any problem. Each morning the hotel served an ample breakfast that included scrambled eggs and italian ham. We would definitely return.

8.7

Excellent location, all the comfort needed, competent staff.

9.7

Perfect location,well within walkingdistance to the Duomo,the La Scala and the Galleria.Also the tramcars run close by.Inviting and comfortable room,nice and warm enough in a cold November.Small breakfast-area.

9.3

Excellent little city centre hotel a few minutes walk from the Duomo and all the major attractions. Easily accessible by public transport on a quiet side street(easy to miss)this was a real find. Great hospitality.

9.1

One of the frielndliest, most helpfull hotels we have ever used, location fantastic for Opera etc.

9.5

Great hotel, great location, great price, but mostly I was impressed at how service-oriented the staff were. Always recognized us and were ready with room keys as we ran in and out of hotel with our shopping bags, and helped with any questions. The pocket maps with thier locaton marked were such a nice touch, and also appreciated were the tips on local stores. If you are going to Milan for a shopping trip (and who shouldn't be?), this is a great option!

9.3

The location of the Star was excellent. It was so easy to take the train from the airport and then a short taxi ride to the hotel. A 5 minute walk to the Duomo and other sites. La Scala was just around the corner. The public areas were small. The staff cordial and helpful.

8.9

very helpful and friendly staff; breakfast was adequate but not great; WiFi available in lobby, but not in room

10

hotel remarquable à recommander chaleureusement

10

Of our four trips to Milan this was the best and most comfortable hotel. The rooms, staff, and service were just excellent. Full breakfast service including eggs and bacon and an automatic coffee machine that makes fresh coffee of every variation imaginable. The bonus is the wonderful bathroom with whirlpool jets in every room - even in the shower of the single rooms.

9.8

Terrific staff. Extremely comfortable bed, and room was spacious, well equipped.

9.1

Hotel is in an excellent location in historical centre of Milan. We could easily walk to the major attractions. This was our first stop after an overseas flight an was used to unwind and adjust in preparation for a 4 week stay in Italy.

7.8

Mi sono fermato allo Star per una sola notte. In ottima posizione nel centro di Milano, ma in luogo tranquillo, ha stanze non troppo grandi, ma molto pulite e arredate modernamente. Il personale è preparato e gentile. La colazione è valida, ma non con non molta scelta (per gli standard internazionali) e priva di caffè decaffeinato o tisane o the deteinati (c'è solo il the verde). Nel complesso, comunque, l'hotel Star è davvero confortevole e ha un ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo.

7.9

Via dei Bossi is a little difficult to find for the first time, but the hotel is in a very central and convenient location. Close to La Scala, Duomo, and the Brera neighborhood. Some construction happening in the main lobby, but not too disruptive. Friendly, helpful staff.

8.4

mala coordinacion entre venere y el hotel.una de los matrimonios no pudo viajar y llame al hotel para pedir que cambiaran el nombre por otro y me indicaron que no lo podian hacer que tenia que comunicarme con ustedes. Al hacerlo, se demoraron dos dias en responder y se me aplico una multa de una noche en circunstancias de que bien pude haber cambiado la reserva para otros amigos y que como nadie me confirmo si era posible, tuvieron que irse a otro hotel. El resto de las otras dos reservas en Venezia y en Paris, muy buenas. Necesito un hotel en Nueva York, lo mas cerca posible de Naciones Unidas para noviembre 16 al 21) 5 habitaciones. atte Jacqueline Peillard.

9.7

Unfortunately, we were only in Milan for one night, but fortunately we stayed at the perfect hotel for such a short stay. What a location !! 2-3 minutes walk to the best shopping and sights in Milan. The hotel staff were also spot on, (I think we were met by the owner). Our room was ready on time and we were provided with all the info we needed. The room was great, the bed was and pillows really comfortable and bathroom near new. Although the hotel is very central, it is located on a quiet little street. We had a great night sleep. We will be back to stay at the Hotel Star for sure. 5 Stars from me !!

7.3

I chose the Star because of its proximity to La Scala since we were going to an opera there. The hotel is well positioned around the corner from la Scala and also close to the Duomo/Galleria in one direction and an easy walk to Brera in the other direction. This hotel was not as charming as others we stayed in but it was clean and comfortable. There was a little noise from the trams at night. Staff were efficient and helpful when I needed to change my booking and also at arranging transport and restaurant bookings. The initial welcoming was a little curt.

7.3

Posizione strategica, prezzo conveniente ma arredi assolutamente da rinnovare (sembra di fare un viaggio indietro negli anni sessanta). Adatto per brevi soggiorni e per chi rientra in albergo solo per dormire.

9.2

The room was comfortable, and the bathroom had the most relaxing jet tub & shower combination! The breakfast was delicious too with quite a bit of variety.

7.3

Because I am tall I found the single bed a bit smaller... maybe it is better to give a double bed also in a single room.

8.6

The Hotel Star is wonderful - I am returning to Milan next week and although I tried to rebook, they were full. (very disappointing!) The location is very convenient to the central Duomo area, and there is a really lovely pizza retaurant around the corner with a good wine list and silver candelabras on all the tables. The tiny sidestreet keeps the property rather tranquil, but can be confusing to find at first. The single room I had was small, but perfectly adequate. The bathroom was new, with a spa shower.

9.8

I don't have any complains about my stay at Hotel Star. Perfect location - all imported sites are in walking distance. The terraces of the rooms on the last floor, where was mine, are with high wall enclosure (perfect for sunbathing on nude during the siesta time) which acts as acoustical barrier for the noise from the street. The continental breakfast was decent. The young blond lady on the reception desk was very helpful with her knowledge, that a tourist will need. I will be back.

9.9

Centralt beläget! Prisvärt!

9.8

So delightful to find an efficiently run hotel for a VERY reasonable price in the center of Milan. I was able to walk everywhere. Staff was friendly and efficient. Room (single) was small but spacious enough and well appointed with a small balcony with table and two chairs. Bathroom was clean and of good size with a well functioning shower. Mini bar, desk with room to write or laptop, comfortable bed, roomy closet. Very excellent for the price. Location was both safe and convenient.

9.7

It apparently caters to business travelers, but leisure travelers can be perfectly comfortable. Milan was a five-night stop in the course of a pleasure trip to Italy.

7.8

Tucked in the corner off the main streets. Wonderfully secretive and convenient.

6.1

An excellent location within a few minutes walk of La Scala,the Galleria and the Duomo. Difficult to improve! Excellent welcome with lots of helpful advise. Only let down was the refurbishment work which created lots of noise during daytime, despite the supplied earplugs - maybe that should have told us something! Check before booking.

9.7

This was my second time staying in this hotel which speaks for itself. I found it centrally located and the staff friendly. The rooms were spotless and the breakfast was good.They spoke English at reception and the first time I stayed my husband needed to see a dentist the staff went to endless trouble to assist us with this . It is excellent value for the money and I will stay there again.

6.2

Very central - problem to find and parking!

8.4

Nice room, very nice bathroom, close to the duomo, helpful staff. My only concern was that the street was very narrow and not full of people so when I came back at midnight I took a cab rather than walk by myself.

8.0

The management could not have been more helpful and pleasant!

9.4

Nice hotel, excellent service.

8.9

a gem! would come back any time. location brilliant comfort better than it looks!

9.7

We were on vacation to see the central sites of Milan and Hotel Star is in an excellent location. Everything was top notch and staff were friendly. The hotel is no louder than any other I'd expect in the middle of the city. Actually it's on a quiet side street and with the windows closed it is quite tolerable. Highly recommended for a value hotel!

9.9

The bed was a little uncomfortable, but otherwise it was really great! The breakfast buffet was very very good, and all of the little touches were really nice. Everytime I left, it seemed that someone came in and straighted the room for me. How nice!

7.9

If one accepts that hotels in Milan will be expensive then the Star is not overpriced. The proximity of the hotel to la Scala compensated for the slightly cramped nature of the accomodation.

9.1

This hotel is at a very convenient location. You can literaly walk to all the major sights. The staff are friendly and competent. It was really nice to have someone take my lugguge and guide me to the room. The instruction on Venere is not very clear in terms of how to find the hotel. I hope they can post a better direction.

8.9

An excellent location and very welcoming hotel staff! Very close to everything. The rooms are a little tiny, but you get exactly what you pay for. That said, I was pleasantly suprised to find a balcony off my room which was very enjoyable! Overall a great hotel, great people, in a fabulous location.

4.6

Bed is not comfortable and old. Severe creaking noise of bed from upper floor come down to down floor. No internet access service is provided to each room. Internet connection is only possible by wireless access at hotel lobby.

9.3

We found the hotel in the internet and chose it because of its absolutely central position: Scala, Duomo,Castello,Pinacoteca, underground and tram stations are practically round the corner. The old building in a quiet street is not attractive from the outside, but the moment you enter you find that the interior is well equipped, the rooms are small, maybe the wardrobe is too small for a longer stay (we chose a standard room), but the beds are excellent, breakfast is good, and the service is really something to write home about. Everybody is kind and helpful, and the lady at the reception excels them all.If we decide to go to Milano again, we will certainly put up at the Star!

8.7

I stayed 2 days with my daughter. The hotel located very close to historical places. The room keeps clean allways by cleaning stuff, but bath room was very small. Ms Vittoria was very kind and her advice was very helpful and accurated. The room rate in Milan are so expensive.

8.7

Star Hotel is well placed for visiting Milan being close to both the Cathedral and La Scala. The hotel is in a fairly quiet , narrow street. Our room, which was at the rear of the hotel was quiet and comfortable - it might be noisier closer to the street. There are trams at the end of the street so it is easy to get around if you do not wish to walk. We found the staff excellent and would recommend to hotel to others.

7.5

I only stayed one night but everything was more than acceptable. Only observation was that my room, a small, single room, was very warm and I was unable to shut the radiator down. Other than that no complaints. All staff very pleasant and helpful.

8.4

Service was very good. Hotel in excellent, central location.

7.8

Great little hotel with family atmosphere in the centre of Milan.

9.9

Excellent the welcoming of the hotel. The reception employer is very good. I had been to Milan four times, but The Star is the best hotel I had stayed with the best localization for all shopping, lunch, dinner, Opera and Brera Museum. Newt time I will stay in the Star Hotel surely. Victor Mori

8.9

Great location. Helpful and friendly staff. As for number and type of room. I really don't know about rooms other than mine, but I had to answer the question to continue! As for quietness of rooms, no problem in winter with windows closed, but in warmer weather this could be a problem. Room fine, but balcony needs "refreshing".

9.7

Hotel comodissimo, situato in una stradina silenziosa e con poco traffico. Stanza singola 'intelligente'. Nella mia stanza ho trovato tante piccole comodità, che vanno dal piccolo vano anticamera, con attaccapanni e specchio lungo, ai gadget utili, come la mappa di Milano molto ben fatta e di facile consultazione, set da cucito, spazzolino e mini dentifricio, salviettina per pulire le scarpe, rasoio usa e getta con gel per radersi, oltre ai soliti saponi shampoo e bagni schiuma. Letto comodo e spazioso. TV satellitare. Finestre apribili normalmente o a vasistas. Bagno piccolo, ma con bellissima doccia, comode mensole e specchi grandi. Personale molto gentile.

7.3

Alla reception le persone sono molto gentili e disponibili a dare tutte le informazioni necessarie relativamente a come spostarsi a Milano, a dove cenare. Le camere vengono riordinate 2 volte ogni giorno. L'hotel è proprio in centro e comodo a tutto, grazie al metro a 2 passi.

7.7

L' accoglienza di una signora di cui non ricordo il nome è eccezionale, la centralità è impagabile. Difetti: angusti i locali del breakfast; bisogna scendere dal taxi con molta rapidità

2.0

Camera tetra, angusta e con mobilio vecchio, letto piccolo, pulizia che lascia a desiderare, telecomandi che vengono dati con l'obbligo di restituirli personalmente alla reception. Ho scelto questo hotel per la sua posizione al centro di milano, ma è stata una scelta davvero infelice. Sconsiglio a chiunque di andarci

8.0

Very relaxed and helpful reception and staff. Breakfast a little limited but good for the price Convenient for the city centre. Small single room but very well equipped

8.5

Great place to stay in Milan city center, very close to main touristic attractions!

8.0

hotel semplice, non lussuoso, ma con servizi ottimi quasi da 4 stelle. La location è inoltre ottima: 2 passi dal duomo, dalla scala da zona Brera per la serata..ottimo!

5.0

It was extremely noisy in my room. The staff was not friendly. There appeared to be a video camera mounted on the ceiling. I would never stay at this place again.

8.2

Excellent location. Cosy and comfortable. Friendly and good service.

8.6

Overall a very nice hotel. Staff were particularly helpful and were patient as I practiced my Italian and understanding when we needed to switch to english. Location was very central and convenient to duomo and metro. However, the proximity to the main street resulted in noise from the street cars as they rumbled down the track from 8 am until midnight. This was tolerable, but a distraction. I would recommend with this caviat and personally stay there again.

5.0

Hotel front desk personnel were not intereseted in providing advice or help with tourist questions. Front desk gave up quite quickly when asked to try and make a reservation to see The Last Supper. Front desk was absolutly no help and had no interest in providing information on how best to acquire La Scala Opera tickets.

9.1

What a pleasure this hotel was. We enjoyed it very much - the welcome from the desk and the recommendation for a lunch restuarant nearby was excellent - our best meal in Italy. Its position is marvelous especially if you are going to La Scala and just around the corner from the Duomo. I cant thank them enough as we had been staying at a very uncomfortable B&B in Turin. To end up here for our last night in Italy was a real pleasure. I will return. Jill James

8.0

The most welcoming feature about the Star was Maria Vittoria on the reception desk. She gave us tips for restaurants, assistance in finding more remote places we were searching and she was always diplomatic and informed, especially about the striking transit workers. The breakfast was good including cereal meats, cheese, buns and juice. We were well situated to visit the Duomo, La Scala, Via Montenapoleone, Castello Sfozeco, The Brera, Chiesa Maria della Grazie. We would go back

9.9

I was very happy with the service, the room, the location and would happily return as well as reccomend to others.

8.6

Hotel Star's location is extremely convenience, but when you arrive at the first evening, may be you can take a Taxi from the Cadorna Airport Express Train Station to hotel directly, it cost around EUR 6~7 only, so convience!! Very close to the Shopping Area and Duomo, you can drop down your stuff after a crazy shopping. If I travel to Milan again, I will stay with this hotel again!

10

Totally pleased with stay at Hotel Star. Staff extremely helpful, room very comfortable, location great.

9.3

Great location and area, a few blocks to La Scala, the Domo and subway stops. That along with a bright front desk person, Victoria, who was most helpful with many of our question. The included hotel breakfast was not fancy but was plenty and was a perfect way to start the day. When a subway strike took place we even walked from the railway station to our hotel with 3 bags. It took us an hour but was an adventure. Our travel to Milan was part of our vacation and it was our third and most enjoyable vist to Milan. I would have no problem in recomending the Star to any of my friends visiting Milan.

9.1

This hotel is a great location for visiting Central Milan. Everything is within walking distance including the trams and metro. Well equipped rooms just a litle noisy at night if the windows are opened but dont let that stop you staying here. The staff at reception were friendly, competent and helpful. Would definitely stay here again. Perhaps the hotel should arrange a special rate with the car park facility they recommend. Parking in Milan can be very expensive.
