Hotel The Best - Milan

2.4

The room was smelly and the air conditioner wasn't working, but the breakfast was great.

6.3

Good for budget tripper. The hotel is close to Piazza Lima which is very accessible by subway or bus.

4.6

The staff were exceptionally helpful and friendly. Good spoken english. The only set back was that the room was tiny and there's no ventilation in the toilet. There's a strong stench coming out from it.

7.4

Super Lage! Hotel und Zimmer ok! Würde ich wieder buchen!

4.2

le personnel repond à toutes les demandes touristique avec le sourire, l'hôtel est très proche de la gare. Mais la chambre une catastrophe : aucune insonorisation je n'est pas dormi pendant 3 jours. les voisins de chambre était très bruyants. le personnel est intervenu à 2 reprises puis à laissé tomber. se doucher relevait de l'exploit avec un pommeau de douche entartré qui ne laissait passer qu'un filet d'eau. bref très mauvais souvenir de cet hotel et très mauvais rapport qualité prix 85 euros la chambre.

9.3

Brilliant, Great rooms - clean, nice decor, quiet when the window is closed. Location brilliant. The best value for money we have found in Europe so far

6.4

Hotel liegt recht ruhig in der Nähe der Station Centrale an eneim Platz, an dem 2-3x die Woche Markt ist. Der Eingangsbereich ist sauber und freundlich; die Begrüßung vermittelze eher den Eindruck, der gast ist lästig. Unser Zimmer lag nach hinten und war ruhig; für 2* gut ausgestattet; das Bad jedoch klein und eher wie eine schwache Handwerkerleistung, aber ausreichend. Menschen über 100 kg dürften aber Probleme haben. Hinter dem Hotel ist eine Freifläche, auf der man sich aufhalten kann. Preis etwas zu hoch aber eben Milano. Gesamtnote für mich i.S. des Punktesystem: 7,5.

2.4

Sinceramente volví a Milán apra ver dos cositas que se me quedaron. Vista la ciudad y viendo que es de las más feas de Italia junto con su terrible hostelería no creo que vuelva por allí. El hotel era ruidoso, cuando llegué estab sucio, las toallas raspaban pareciendo más de la segunda guerra mundial, hacía un calor infernal en la habitación ¡sin calefacción! Sinceramente por el precio que pagué cualquiera de los hoteles que he ido es mucho mejor. El desayuno pobre.

7.1

+ Big and comfortable beds + Great staff + Good location close to the metro + Resonable price + Close to a ristorante called "The Kitchen"! - Rooms weren't quiet - The breakfast was only a croissant and a cup of tea/coffe

6.6

I was our first time in Milan and we enjoyed it a lot. We liked our stay in the hotel, except a problem that occurred in our room. The staff in the hotel speaks fluently english and is very kind and helpful. The rooms in themselves are ok but their problem is the bathroom. Firstly, it is not a separated room, there is just a thin plastic wall that makes the separation. Better be an intimate of your roomate because there is no privacy at all. Secondly, it seems that the air evacuation is common the different bathrooms of the hotel. Unfortunately, our neighbour was a smoker, and it has been as if he/she was smoking in our room (no smoke but an intense fragance). That has been extremely unpleasant. Coming back to the public areas of the hotel, their breakfast is very poor and all-industrial. I'd say 8/10 for the location (10min walking to the central station), 8/10 for the kindness of the staff, 4/10 for the room.

3.0

some indoor bathroom vechcio torn and dirty and very poorly kept near the station and Economic not recommended!

7.7

budget hotel, near central train station. very good value for money.

6.0

Even if the welcome is really good, our room was not very clean, was noisy and without any charm. And the breakfast was very poor. But for this low price, why not...

6.9

This was fine for a cheap hotel very near the central station in Milan - not particularly nice, but we have no real complaints.

6.9

Fine. Living in a historical house.

7.9

It felt like the other guests were walking through our room (and the concierge would be standing there and talking to all of them, as well) - it was very loud! but otherwise we had a great stay!

9.7

Reception was welcoming, friendly and helpful. Would stay again.

8.2

When I arrived, I was informed that they had no room for me, due to some sort of damage to a number of their rooms (possibly water damage). Immediately the clerk had a new room for me in a neighboring hotel, transferring me from a two star to a three star, essentially, and keeping the price the same, all the while apologizing for the problem. It was well-handled and I was impressed with how quickly the problem was solved.

5.4

The hotel was a bit farther away from the train station than was anticipated. The hotel accomodated a family of four in a tight room that slept five. The room was on the ground-floor and was around the corner from the front desk. It was too noisy and made sleep difficlut. Late guests, faxes and the shuffling of the desk clerk were all easly heard from our room. This hotel would work for those on a tight budget - but don't take a room on the first floor if loud noise makes resting difficult.

5.4

While the staff were friendly and accommodating, and the room was clean, the physical condition of the room left a lot to be desired (e.g., duct tape "sealing off" a space around the pipe going from the toilet into the wall). The neighborhood looked marginal.

7.5

Convenient transportation, walk to the subway station and about 10 minutes.Nice staffs,especially the breakfast staff ,she work hard to provide a fast service.Thank you!

8.0

A nice hotel. The most important area for improvement is cleanliness of rooms. Also take care of mould in the bath rooms.

6.9

I thought this hotel definitely could have used improvement. The bedroom was seperated from the bathroom by a very thin wall (you could easily have pushed it down). Also, when I arrived, the room smelled like cigarette smoke even though it was a non-smoking room. It did have a balcony, which was an added bonus... and the room itself was fairly spacious, but I would probably not return to this hotel again.

8.9

Good location, close to main street and also to railway station. Not in a particularly attractive area but not threatening, although we didn't wander about very late at night.

4.0

the room was extremly small and the wc terrible!i stayed at the renovated rooms... the price for this room is no more than 40 euros (dbl). its recommended for just one night!

7.8

spacious room. nice staff can recommend really nice restaurants.

8.3

we wanted a clean cheap room convenient for station and that is exactly what we got. The staff at the hotel were extremely courteous and helpful and I would definitely stay there again at the price we paid (50 euros)

8.6

Excellent value for money in central Milan. We paid just EUR58 for midweek in November. Really friendly staff with an excellent sense of humour - all spoke excellent english. The room was pretty small, and the bed only a double while the bathroom was basically a closet. To be fair the hotel is undergoing renovation so it may well be that they are upgrading some of the rooms. We can't rate breakfast as we had to leave at 6 am to get to the airport and breakfast is served from 7am. Location is 5 mins walk from the station -easily walkable with backpacks for the Malpensa Express bus, and 2 minutes from the Lima Metro station on Line 1 and also the Corso Buenos Aires shopping street. TIP- Buy a EUR3 all day Metro pass and go anywhere easily in Milan! The Station area is not the greatest of areas(like any city) but we felt safe enough. Overall, it was excellent value for money, and exceeded expectations.

0.6

Dirty, not worthy for that price... Definitely not the best hotel in milan!

6.4

Good hotel. Only one thing that make me unhappy: I had to pay Euro 2.00 extra for a cup of boiling water (just enough for coffee at room).

7.9

Hotel was easily found, reasonably short walk from central railway and airport-link bus. Getting about the city was easy once we knew where to buy the tickets. Tour bus operators seem to purchase most tickets to Last Supper, so either book months in advance or use tour bus. Good food and drink locally but some of the restaurants start to get full about 9pm. ( - no adaptors for Italian plug sockets) Will certainly visit Milan again.

2.8

Wir waren das erste Mal in Mailand und vor ca. einem halben Jahr in Rom. Das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis konnte unterschiedlicher eigentlich nicht sein. In Rom haben wir für einen günstigeren Tarif - sogar kurz vor Ostern - weitaus mehr Qualität geboten bekommen. Zugegeben - man verbringt ja nun nicht 24h im Hotel, aber entspannen konnte man sich nach Sightseeing und Shopping in dieser Umgebung wohl kaum. Die Dusche war an den Rändern verschimmelt, das Bettlaken eingerissen, die Handtücher rochen entsetzlich nach Essig, die Heizung funktionierte (natürlich) nicht, und das Hotel machte insgesamt einen schmuddeligen Eindruck. Obwohl wir erst gegen 18 Uhr eintrafen, mussten wir knapp 1h auf unser Zimmer warten. Die Beratung des Personals hinsichtlich Stadtrundfahrten und Gastronomie hatte nichts von italienischer Gastfreundlichkeit. Insgesamt hatte das Etablissement wohl eher schlechte Jugenherbergseigenschaften und kann als Hotel maximal als Notunterkunft herhalten. Wir können es jedenfalls nicht empfehlen und waren froh, daß wir 4 Tage mit Sonnenschein verwöhnt wurden und uns wenig im Hotel aufhalten mussten.

7.5

The room we stayed in was EXTREMELY small, but it was very clean and comfortable. There was construction going on in the hallways and stairwells while we were there, so the place was a little torn up. There was no working early in the morning or after late afternoon, so it was no inconvenience. The hotel was located close to the metro, so getting to the sights was easy. Staff were VERY friendly and helpful.

4.8

Room was so small you could hardly walk around the bed. When it was light outside it was dark inside. When it was dark outside it was light inside. You knew when your neighbor was showering. Some of the staff was indifferent. Skip the breakfast. At least the sheets were clean. Close to public transportation.

1.3

The hotel was a big let down. I gave the wrong expiry date for my credit card deposit and it caused confusion as my deposit was unable to be deducted, but I received no notification whatsoever of this until fronting up to reception where I was made to feel like crap for such a small problem that could have been fixed with a quick email. We should have left then. The room was well below expectations, especially considering the price we paid and there were renovations going on so the hotel was a mess. Might be good when the renovations are finished, but steer clear in the mean time. Particularly unhappy with the hotel overall. ps the travel directions given were grossly inadequate.

7.3

Nous avons séjourné à l'hôtel The Best alors que celui-ci était en travaux, avec les inconvénients que cela implique : échafaudage devant la fenêtre, propreté pas toujours impeccable (poussière dans la salle de bain), réveil de bonne heure par les ouvriers. De plus, le mauvais temps nous a empêché de profiter de la terrasse. Malgré cela, le personnel est accueillant, l'hôtel est bon marché et proche de la gare, on peut accéder en ville à pied ou en métro.

6.3

This is located conveniently to the train station and is typical of Milan, you don't get much for your hotel dollar. The service was nice and it was clean and quiet enough. OK for a single traveller - probably not for romantic weekend away.

8.0

Milan is just very expensive, so what you get here for one price is far less than what you get in Napoli for that price. The staff was great and accomodating, we requested another room, becuase of the construction work that they were doing, and they immediately tried there best to get us the room we wanted. If it wasn't for the construction work the place would be a lot more quiet. They have a nice garden (unfortunately when we were there filled with work materials). There is an airco, but it's not one of the best, it was still quite warm, and the fact that the rooms are quite small doesn't help. However considering the town, i think it is a good place to stay for that money and i would definetly come there again (when the construction work is done).

8.9

i would definitely recommend this hotel to everyone. the staff is really friendly and helpful, speaking perfect english, italian and even french. the rooms are nice even the bathroom. we stayed in a 4-bed room for 90 euros, and it is really worth its price altough the breakfast wasnt too much and too good but, it s close to the station and a market and the subwaystations.

7.5

The Breakfast ist very small.

8.0

Nice hotel with short distance to railstation (walking distance) and metro. Bars and restaurants near by and on saturday is a big market directly in front of the house. We did like the stay very much. Very nice is the garden you can sit and relax a bit after a long day in Milan.

7.7

The hotel is located pretty close to Central Station, a very useful way to take buses from-to Malpensa and Orio al Serio airports. The Lima subway station is also near the hotel, so that, you have Milán in your hand to visit it. The room was neat and suitable for 4 people with bunk beds for the children. A relaxing morning shower in a medium sized bathroom comes before a good enough breakfast, but no juice included in price. At night, the back to the hotel was a little bit lonely. In summary an excellent relationship quality/price.

7.2

We stayed for two nights and the personal was really nice. The rooms are OK and the area it is situated in is very centric. Although I did not have a total feeling of security coming back to the hotel walking at nights, it is a very good choice as it is close to the subway and train station and centric. The people are really nice. Very good relation price-quality.

6.0

my experience is not bad considering the price. the hotel is in god location and convenienet fm the major shopping area. i might stay there is i go to milan in the near future. dara dnb

8.0

Once we managed to sort out how to turn the map it was quite easy to find the hotel and it was only a five minute walk from the train station. Very handy for us as we were flying back to the UK very early hours of the morning. We couldn't be bothered to get up early enough to have breakfast so can't comment on that but at least it was included in the price which isn't always the case... The staff seemed very friendly and spoke okay English. We would recommend this hotel to other travellers and will definitely be gonig back ourselves later this year.

7.9

Very well situated, near the main train station and subways. Staff was helpful. Good room for four of us.

6.9

The hotel was very convenient for me. I just needed a place close to the train station to sleep 1 night. The breakfast is served in a lovely courtyard however the quality of the food was awful. There was a private bathroom in my room which is a luxury considering the standards of 2 star hotels at Italy. The staff was friendly and helpfull, they recommended an Indian restaurant in front of the hotel which is very good and cheap.

6.5

Clean and neat, walking distance to main train station. Street may be quiet at night. Flea market just right opp the hotel :)

6.2

Not a bad little place but don't expect a good breakfast, even by italian standards. We were unlucky in that we had one of the smallest rooms in the hotel, but it did have a nice balcony. If you come by car and park out front watch out for the market which is on Saturday. If you leave your car there over Friday night it will be impounded! Location is not bad at all. I would stay again, but not in room 107 (I think it was) - not enough room to swing a cat... Oh there is a great fish restaurant in the parallel street in front of the hotel. It gets packed so book...it really is good.

6.7

Very disappointed with breakfast. Hotel employee paid more attention to her own breakfast than to ours.

8.3

Wir waren in dem Hotel vom 11.-14.09.06. Zu dieser Zeit war Messe und F1 in Monza, so dass wir froh waren, überhaupt ein günstiges Zimmer (67 EUR/Nacht inkl. Frühstück) bekommen zu haben. Ein gutes Preisleistungsverhältnis, wie sich zeigte. Unser Zimmer (und auch einige andere)war zwar nur ca. 15 m2 groß (exkl. Bad) aber gut ausgestattet. Ausreichend Bügel im Kleiderschrank, zwei gute Betten, Nachttische, großer Schrank, Gepäckablage und kleiner Schreibtisch. Die Klimaanlage arbeitete nur im Umluftbetreib und war sehr laut. Die Fenster zur Straße waren sehr gut isoliert. Das kleine Bad verträgt jedoch keine zwei Personen gleichzeitig und hatte kein Fenster. Für einen Stadtaufenthalt als Basis in das Hotel völlig ok. Das Frühstück wurden in einer Art Kellerbar eingenommen, die aber nicht ungemütlich war. Es gab die freie Auswahl an Heißgetränken, Saft, Brötchen, Brioche, Honig, Marmelade, "Nutella" und eine Sorte Käse (alles abgepackte Hoteleinheiten). Alles konnte nachbestellt werden. Also mehr als das klassische italienische Frühstück. Ein durchaus ausreichender Start in den Tag. Das Personal an der Rezeption war ok, aber irgend etwas Herausragendes gibt nicht zu berichten. Gut ist, das man gegen 20 EUR Cash am Abreisetag das Zimmer noch bis 18:00 Uhr nutzen kann. Zur Haltsstelle des Malpensashuttles am Bahnhof sind es zu Fuß mit Gepäck keine 10 Minuten. Taxi oder so also nicht notwendig. Vor dem Hotel ist Dienstags von ca. 08:00 bis 14:00 Uhr ein großer Markt, der glücklicher Weise noch nicht zu stark touristich geprägt ist. In unmittelbare Nähe des Hotels ist ein Breck-Restaurant, in dem man sehr gut und günstig Mittags und am frühen Abend Essen gehen. In unmittelbarer Nähe kleine Lebensmittelgeschäfte und Restaurants. Zu den Metrohaltestellen sind es ebenfalls nur wenige Minuten, ein 2-Tagesticket kostete 5,50 EUR/Person.

3.5

NOT The Best. The pictures for this hotel are a bit misleading. The facade is quite pretty and some effort has been but into the public areas - reception, garden, breakfast room, which are welcoming - however the bedrooms, where one spends more of one's time, are tiny and very shabby. In particular the beds are were lightweight and unstable affairs, unsuited to a hotel. The laths (strips of wood holding up the matress) in one of the beds in our room were inclined to fall out when the occupant moved. We bore this with some good spirit but gave up on the third night when the matress fell through and we discovered that the laths that had fallen to the floor had simply been removed. A replacement bed was brought in from the bacony, which seemed to be a storehouse for old furniture and other rubbish. This could be a lovely hotel - the staff were pleasant and the building iteslf has character but I really can't recommend it as it stands, and as comparably inexpensive as it is to some Milan hotels I don't think it represents good value.

8.6

Goede locatie nabij Centraal Station en metro. Nette kamer met airco. Zeer behulpzame, aardige receptionist(en). Eenvoudig ontbijt. Wij waren er voor 1 nacht als tussenstop. Lijkt ons voor langer verblijf ook een ideale locatie.

3.2

a horrible hotel dark and dirty with a friendly staff

8.4

I chose the hotel course of the garden photography. It's a really nice garden. Good to have breakfast there. Nice hotel near the railway station with friedly staff.

7.3

Price vs Quality is reasonnable . Nice backyard court garden . A bit far from Central train station (15 min.walk). Manager Ricardo is helpful and friendly . An open market in front of hotel is very interesting (only Tuesday & Saturday). Convenient and close to the shopping area Corso Buenos Aires (10 min walk). Recommend !

5.6

We had bookd through the website, however when we arrived to check in, the staff had "forgot" to look at the website so that we had not any room booked, and proposed to move us to another hotel. Fortunately we arrived late and some customers due to arrive earlier did not check in so in the end we had a room with a lot of luck... The rooms are a bit old but clean, the breakfast good, and the staff speaks very well french and english. So a bit expensive for the services provided, but I would not discourage from booking in this establishment, however if you do CONFIRM your booking by phone first !!

4.7

Very small room with bathroom with mould on the walls. Plus for the fact that we didn´t have to pay for the last night we had booked although we left one day earlier then planned.

7.4

The staff at reception was most helpful in making dinner reservations and teling us how to get there via public transport. English language skills excellent. Location good but needs a better map. It's a bit shabby and run down, but clean. Patio in back was great - right in the middle of the city. Great price for Milano.

9.0

Near to MIlano central station,but quiet. Breakfast is very good and staff's service is very fine. Inside garden is wonderfull. I can say that this is Very fine B&B.

6.0

Limpio, hablan perfectamente castellano, muy cercano a la estación central, buena relación calidad/precio.

6.9

The credit card was charged in CHF instead of EUR, using a very bad exchange rate. Take a closer look before signing!

6.9

Unfortunately I could not stay at this hotel due to a problem they had, having booked it in advance via yourselves I do wish they had let me know beforehand to choose another rather than they book mne into another one which was not as nice at all!!! You could have notified me easily in advance even if the day before!

9.8

nice low-budget hotel. the staff was kindly and helpfull. the rooms were clean, a little bit small, but it doesn´t matter. good surroundings. every tuesday market right in front of the hotel, statione centrale and corso argentina near by and the tram und autobus stop just 100m away. so what do you want more. we had an excellent stay and we´ll be back !

9.8

The room was exactly as described. This hotel is a great value because the rooms are nice, the service is excellent and friendly and the location is ideal near the metro and central station. We enjoyed our stay here immensely and highly recommend this bargain hotel.

9.2

Loved this place for spaciousness & nearness to transit/shopping/food/laundry/etc. A little bit noisy (could hear the staff on the ground floor during the night) but otherwise fairly quiet. I would definitely stay there again.

7.8

Very close to the train station, clen and safe

7.8

Hallo, das Hotel "The Best" ist sehr nah am Hauptbahnhof gelegen, er Fußweg bis zum Hotel dauert ungefähr 8min Fußweg. Man gelagt sehr schnell mit der U-Bahn in die City (Station Lima). Uns hat es sehr gut gefallen.

7.9

it's a nice hotel provides individual traveler sufficient information and place to have a rest, it also has a great location very close to train station but the deafening should be improved more coz' we can hear the sound from next door.

6.2

Occorrerebbe insegnare al concierge l'educazione.

6.9

breakfastroom to cold!!!!but good coffee

9.0

Excellent website and when i visit Italy again(because i intend to visit again some day soon)i will use your website. Ave xxxx

3.9

Of all the places we booked through Venere.com, this hotel was by far the worst. I don't know if the hotel stuck us in this room because we were basically staying the night to catch an early train. It was awful. The room next to the reception and you could hear everything. At one point the phone kept ringing and I wanted to go and answer it to stop it from ringing. The walls were very thin indeed as you could hear the couple in the next room having "relations". I probably didn't complain at the time just because it such a short time we were there. And I wouldn't have stayed any longer.

6.9

The hotel was located within walking distance from the central train station. Whilst the room was a little cramped (you could only walk around the beds single file), the staff were helpful and the hotel has internet access which was handy. Breakfast was included in the price of the room which was not the case for ohter hotels that we stayed at on our holiday. Given the price of the room and the amenities provided we would recommend this hotel to other travellers.

9.3

Concierge was very helpful and extremely nice. Would definitely recommend to others!

8.1

For a hotel in Milan, this was a good price for value. The bed was confortable, it was close to shopping and food. Very near train station and the reception was great. The breakfast was not worth going to unless you need a cup of coffee to start your day. Much better food in Italy.

8.1

Wir haben zwei Nächte im The Best verbracht. Super gelegen, man ist fix in der Stadt, der Corso Buenos Aires ist um die Ecke. Die Zimmer sind klein aber sehr ordentlich. Das Frühstück ist sehr übersichtlich wird aber dafür sehr nett serviert. Kurz: Wir kommen gern wieder!

6.6

Einfaches, aber sauberes Hotel. Kann man jederzeit weiterempfehlen.

8.1

We found this hotel small but sufficient. Since it is located close to the subway and central railway station, it made it easy to get to different parts of the city. The staff was friendly and very good at English. The breakfast however was not much of a breakfast for us who are used to a more sturdy meal. But there was a food market just outside the door on Saturday to make up for it... And the terrass in which we sat for a glass of wine in the evenings, was also very nice. All and all, we are satisfied with the Best, good value for money. But they forgot to mention that you need to bring your own hairdrier...

4.0

I stayed in the hotel for 3 nights in late summer. The location is alright, 5 blocks from Termini Station with bus station nearby. The room and the toilet are small. Even we asians feel the shower is exceptionally too small. Besides, we need to group the twin beds together to leave space for us to unpack our luggage. Hotel breakfast is OK for such price. No air conditioner is provided but a ceiling fan in the room can make the room air moving, hence, not suitable for a hot summer For people who want to staying without good satifaction and a location-convenient cheap price 1.5 star hotel, the hotel is one of the choice.

6.2

I am somewhat disappointed with my stay in "The Best Hotel". I would say that it is the worst hotel I have ever been in Milan. However, Milan comfort stadards are quite high, in comparison with other Italian regions. The worst aspect is the room: poorly furnished, too mildly lighted and generally unwelcoming.

8.8

The employees at the Best Hotel are really helpful and despite not being a 6 star hotel, they surely provide a 6 star service. Speaks excellent English which made my stay there much better due to my inability to speak Italian. The lady who served us breakfast are excellent and are always smiling. I really do appreciate the friendliness and would definitely go back there if I am to visit Milan again.

8.4

Any employee was very kind. They taught a nearby delicious restaurant. It was a delicious shop though the shop was cheap.

10

It really was the Best hotel!

5.5

You get what you pay for. Nothing less, nothing more.

5.9

within walking distance of the train station. staff very friendly and spoke english. Garden is nice to relax in and breakfast was fine, usual wrapped croissants. however our bed sheets were ripped and the toilet made a noise during the night and the walls and doors were a little thin. nevertheless this is a good hotel for staying one night.

8.2

The air condition eqipment was not enough for the room. It was too hot.

9.7

good location for metro and central station. rooms small but fine for our purpose. rooms clean, friendly staff, very helpful

5.9

A double room with a cot blocking the window is NOT a triple room. The advertising in that respect was deceitful. Parking was not adequate to the number of customers; staff did not clarify whether on-street parking was safe or legal. Additional directions as to location within Bayeux would have been helpful.

4.8

Very disappointing, we cancelled a subsequent booking at the hotel. The one positive was the staff who were friendly and polite. There was no air conditioning in the room and when I requested we be moved into a room with aircon we were told that it was not working. We were left with a creaky noisy fan. We could not leave the balcony door open (which came off its hinges) as we were only one floor off street level and we did not find the area to be too safe. The room was also badly located near the reception and we had to endure the noise of everyone's comings and goings. Breakfast was awful.

4.8

Fairly uncomfortable beds, not unusual for Italy of course, poor air conditioning

4.7

Air conditioning was sub-par. Hot water was only available if you were the first person to shower in the whole hotel. I found a different hotel at a better location. I would not stay there again.

9.1

Acceptable area. The hotel was clean and lovely. Staff helpful. Nice place for the price.

7.1

We had an interesting experience at this hotel. The first night we arrived it was in the upper 90's (very hot) and we discovered that the air conditioning in our room was broken. The hotel was full so they couldn't move us, however the staff was very friendly and helpful, and luckily had the air fixed the very next morning. Breakfast wasn't great but the location was perfect if you want to be near the train station and Corso Buenos Aires for shopping. Again the staff were very friendly and extremely helpful with finding restaurants and shopping areas. We would stay here again but request a room on one of the bottom floors.

9.8

The hotel was exactly as described. Very close to central station, walking distance to anywhere you needed to go or metros to get you there. Staff was excellent, with great recommendations for restaurants etc. Everyone we encountered in the hotel spoke excellent english and was very helpful and friendly. The breakfast service was not impressive (packaged croissant, melba toasts with jams etc, coffee and juice), but as other users had already indicated this it wasn't a shock. We basically used it to have our first coffee (which was good) but ended up having our first meal elsewhere (the coffee shop around the corner by the fish market is excellent, and puts out a selection of fresh snacks in the late afternoon and they are free if you have a coffee or something - they also serve great panini). There is a market a few times a week right in front that offered a great selection of fresh fruits and vegetables, cheeses and breads - buy your own and eat it in the back garden of the hotel. I would definitely stay there again, the value for money spent was great.

9.0

Excellent value for the price! Convenient to the train station, room was comfortable.

4.6

We were very disappointed with The Best Hotel. Room was very small and had no air conditioning, although the air conditioning was declared on the website. When we complained, the Receptionist said - well, it is not working. We were offered no discount for the inconvenience. I found this unacceptable. Bathroom was extremely small. Breakfast was very basic and consisted of prepackaged croissants, rolls, tasteless juice or coffee - wasn't worth getting up for. Breakfast service was poor. Staff was unfriendly; they never even smile to you, seem to be rigidly rule-driven. But may be we were just unlucky. Anyway, we will not stay at this hotel again and we would not be recommending this hotel to others.

9.8

This hotel was perfect for our needs (close to the train station) and was very clean and nice for the price. Staff was friendly and spoke English very well, the couryard was pretty and breakfast was great. Definitely recommended!

8.4

Good small hotel, 5 minutes walking from the Milano Centrale train station. Room was very small and no air conditioning, only a celing fan, but clean and updated. Bathroom very small too. Included Breakfast was standard with coffee, tea, orange juice and croissant/butter/jelly. 3 blocks from Lima subway station. Restaurants, cafes and several small shops a block from the hotel. Good value for the money.

7.8

Stayed one night prior to leaving Milan. Good location on quiet residential street - 4 blocks from Stazione Centrale and 3 blocks from Metro (5 min from Duomo by subway). Felt very safe. Lovely garden for lounging. Decent breakfast buffet consisting of breads, meats, cheeses, coffee, juice, etc. Small but clean rooms.
