Starhotels Business Palace - Milan

excellent choice

After staying at some expensive but terrible hotels in Milan over the years I was pleasantly surprised by the Starhotels Business Palace. Staff were excellent: efficient but friendly and made me feel very welcome. The room was quiet, clean, reasonably spacious and comfortable. The area is pretty grim: industrial suburb of Milan next to the A1 motorway, but the hotel is very convenient for the Metro, also on a quieter road so you don't hear traffic noise. I wasn't in Milan for tourism so didn't need to stay in an area for it's ambience. I will definitely stay here again.

Very convenient location, Metro station around the corner, 10min to the Duomo. Nice rooms, lobby, bar. Excellent breakfast service.

Very nice hotel. Nice rooms and helpfull staff. Very close to the metro and then just 10 minutes to the Duomo

Very convenient location. Easy to be reached. Metro station only 50 meters away (Yellow line, going directly to the Duomo and Via Montenapoleone in a few mins). Excellent breakfast buffet. We got a room for 4 at the ninth floor and it was very quiet. Definitively recommend it!

IT WAS A VERY NICE HOTEL WITH EXCELLENT BRREAKFAST AND RELAXING BIG BEDS! THE "PORTA DI MARE" METRO STATION IS SO CLOSE TO THE HOTEL! 30 SECONDS ONLY!!! ALMOST 6 MINUTES FROM DUOMO METRO STATION AND 16 FROM CENTRALE METRO STATION. IF YOU ASK THE RECEPTION THERE IS A GREAT TRADITIONAL RESTAURANT NEAR THE HOTEL WHICH HAS LOW PRICES AND GOOD QUALUTY!BUSSINESS PALACE THANKS A LOT AND WHEN I COME AGAIN I WILL COME THERE AGAIN FOR MY STAY! :)

I can really recommend hotel Business Palace in Milan. Hotel services (accommodation, boarding, behaviour of staff, etc.) were really excellent. Very important advantage is the hotel location (approx. 50 metres from metro - yellow line going to most important places in Milan (cathedral, central railway station, etc.). Conclusion: Hotel is very good choice for stay in Milan.

hotel to be recommended

Wonderful!

Room for three people was VERY small. When we stayed there on October 25, they upgraded us to an executive suite. Had I known that before we left, I would have paid the additional monies involved to get that kind of room for our 5 night stay. The staff is very professional, kind and courteous. Couldn't ask for better folks.

For our stay on October 25, we were upgraded to an executive suite at no extra charge. Staff is wonderful there and friendly. Breakfast buffet is excellent.

Very good hotel to visit milano with metro. We´ve enjoyed the days there.

We arrived a bit too soon, therefore the room was not ready yet. It should have taken them another 30-45 minutes. After 45 minutes it was still not ready, so we got another room, I think it was a suite! when we came into theroom, we expected a room with 4 beds in it, but this was not the case. The room had a spacious hall with lots of closetroom. Walking through the hall, we found left and right 2 very large rooms, one with a double bed and one with two sofabeds, each room with tv, opening windows, minibar and airconditioning. The bathroom was very clean and big enough. We had more towels then we needed. The breakfast was very sumptuous, almost everything was there, croissants, different kinds of bread (you could make your own toast), different kinds of meat products, yoghurt, milk, coffee, tea, 3 types of fruitjuices, müsli, cereals, chocolate buns, stirfried eggs, sausages, fresh fruit, (melon, apples, oranges). You really don't have to leave there hungry!! Next time, when we travel again to the south of Italy, Hotel Starhotels Business Palace can count on our stay again. I can recommend it to everyone who will hear.

We were two families with 2 children each and we stayed at 2 family rooms at the last floor (11). The rooms were spacious (1 bedroom, 1 sitting room with sofa bed where they added another bed for the second child, wide corridor, and spacious bathroom). The breakfast was very good. and we also had dinner one night which was also very good and well priced. The metro station is just around the corner, which makes commuting to downtown Milan very easy.

very good value!! very near the ring of Milano, and a metro station around the corner of the hotel. The beds and pillows are the best i ever had!!

I would come to your hotel again when I am in Mailand the next time. We did not have enough towels in two from three nights, only one time the missing ones where brought after reclamation. That was the only negative aspect.

We had a very nice stay here. Very good value for money. Good buffet breakfast. A little out of town central(in the business area), but right next to the metro stop that takes you straight to the Duomo.

Excellent service in nice and clean hotel. rooms were spacious and airconditioned. Good breakfast.In close distance to motorway and metro station nearby.

A nice hotel located outside of Milan action. Location is a plus factor since it is located very near the Metro with Bank and a pizza restaurant at the corner. Room is spacious (we used the family room) with a king size bed, sofa bed and an extra bed for around 250 euro (2nights), a good deal compared to other city hotels where the rooms are crumpy or expensive. Breakfast is good with lots to choose from. Its a little farther in the center, however, with the nice metro system, it will not be hard.

Great hotel in perfect proximity to airport and short walk to underground system to downtown

Very nice hotel. Very confortable bed. At only 6 tube stations from town center (15 minutes). Car park charged (15 € per night).

I was travelling with my family on vacation, and the hotel was very nice and the staff friendly but had an awful time finding the hotel by car, the street signs are almost non existant and it is just a nightmare if you dont speak Italian. Not the hotels fault, for sure. GPS doesnt work very well in Italy. Locals were very helpful and so was staff, food was excellent in dinning room

EVEN THOUGH WE ASKED FOR A NON SMOKING ROOM, AND WE DID RECEIVE A NON SMOKING ROOM, BUT IT SMELLED LIKE A CASINO.

Perfect for every detail, cleanliness of room, spacious, breakfast, quietness. Only few minutes from the center with metro at 200m of the hotel Thank you to venere.com for the magic price !

Excellent 4 star-rated hotel at a fairly reasonable price, very close to the underground and only 10/15 mn from the duomo. Excellent breakfast with fresh products.

This hotel has good and large rooms and the price is very reasonable. Its near the Linate Airport and has a Metro Station at the corner( 100 mt from the hotel), therefore you can go to the center of Milan very easyly. Wireless internet was not good.

Starhotels Business Palace was better than described in other reviews. The rooms were really clean, comfortable and the staff very accommodating. Our shower did have slow drainage, but water was hot. There is full breakfast with many choices of eggs, bacon, sausage, cereal, crossaint, pasties, juices, coffee, tea and very gracious staff. In particular, Dominique assisted in a very tough situation where we needed to adjust our flight arrangements. She helped us locate the correct persons to contact and get all arrangements updated. We also got very good directions, dinner recommendations, metro tickets, and information on metro and train systems. (Try La Vela just around the corner for dinner!!) The location is very good. The subway can be accessed right at the corner which links to every metro line and to the Central Station-very convenient. Every staff person from the front desk and all around were great. The lobby staff even assisted us with taking photos before we left!! This is a great place for business or vacation. There were families and business people, there during my stay and all seemed to be well. If ever in Milano again, I would definitely consider a stay at Starhotels Business Palace. Thanks SBP for a wonderful visit.

Beautiful hotel. Competent staff. Excellent Breakfast. Was disappointed to be given a twin room after having booked a double, but this often happens in Italy! Many Italian hotels don't seem to make a distinction between double and twin. The room was very warm, I'm sure they could lower the heating by a few degrees, the environment would certainly benefit! The minibar wasn't very cold but that was probably due to the room being so hot! All in all excellent value for money and I will certainly be staying here again! (Excellent restaurant just two minutes from the hotel!)

Good breakfast near the metro station old moquette in the room

The hotel is very good value and lovely breakfast, the area is not much but it is next to the metro stop and in less than 10min you are at Duomo. We are going back surely!

I suppose it would be good for the hotel if some of the staff get possibilities to participate in some charming-courses and also improve their English. Everything else in the hotel wassatisfying.

A great place to stay if you can get the weekend special rates. We paid 77-80 euro and it was well worth that price, but beware, it is a business hotel and prices nearly double on the weekdays! Location: 100m from Porte di mare metro station on the M3 (yellow) line, a direct run from Central station and Duomo. There is a good pizzeria about 1km and on the other side of the road (pizzeria del sole), or another small pizzeria on the corner. Restaurant on site as well, but a bit overpriced. Neighbourhood seemed safe in the evening hours. Rooms: Booked on Venere.com, weekend special. Room was very clean, had a Queen size bed, desk with chair, small table with 2 chairs, luggage rack, tea and coffee facilities in room, mini bar. Bedding is duvet cover type, (not the typical skank blankets that never get cleaned between guests!) Linens and towels changed fresh every day. Older TV, but has multilingual channels. Pictures on the website are true. Full bathroom with tub, 2 shower heads including a shower massage kind, toilet, bidet, counter space, hairdryer, makeup mirror. Facilities: large lobby with lots of seating nooks, free newspapers, on site restaurant, bar, internet point in lobby, bellman for luggage, fitness centre, multilingual front desk staff, outdoor courtyard. Internet is paid - not cheap: mobile devices (ie: ipod) = 5.50euro for 24hours continuous Laptop= 11 euro for 24 hours Lobby computer = 2euro for 15 minutes or 3.50 euro for 30 min. Breakfast: included in room price. Large variety to choose from. However, I should warn you that the coffee is UNDRINKABLE unless you like TAR. A better bet is to order a cappuccino or espresso from one of the servers (no charge). The scrambled eggs are kinda gross (watered down?) and the bacon is SWIMMING in it's own grease! If you prefer other stuff, there are croissants, breads, pastries, cereals, yogurt, meats and cheeses, fruits. Lots to choose from. Would definitely recommend for weekend rates.

I chosed this hotel for a weekend stay in Milan. The value for money is quite good, with a nice room and a good buffet breakfast (forget about the coffee or capuccino quality thou....). Door to Door via underground the hotel is 15 minutes distance from Duomo or Centrale train station, as the underground stop is less than 100 meters far from the hotel.

Tv not working, air conditioning not good, staff not too friendly/helpful, breakfast just alright. No free wireless in the room, no free bottle of water. Nothing really wrong but altogether not a particularly enjoyable stay.

Good hotel, very nice rooms and perfectly located near the Metro.

the hotel without updating elements. Poor Breakfast, standard rooms are really low qualities rooms.

Will stay again...GREAT value....

Quiet, comfortable, 1 minute walk to a subway which will bring you to Duomo. Good service, good breakfast, for the price I paid (60EUR)it was a great value for money, and parking during weekend is free.

We spent one night here (with a toddler). The room is very nice and the hotel was very close to the subway (ATM) yellow line, which runs to the train station and Duomo. We had an early morning flight out of Linate Airport and the staff offered us a box breakfast ready to go in the morning. However, they forgot to get it ready for us the next morning. Nonetheless, they had a cab for us in very short order to take us to the airport. There was no hotel shuttle service for Linate Airport. This hotel was an ideal place to spend the night before an early morning flight out of Milan. It was very easy to quickly travel into the city center and to get to the hotel from the central train station via subway. The hotel needs to get electronic keys though.

I'll surely come back and stay there each time I need to. The best for leisure or business travel.

very high quality hotel, near underground ststion so easy to reach central of milan.. however, the surrounding of hotel is quite empty, it was hard finding food when you hungry at night

i found hotel excellent for services and location

Very comforting, convenient location, quietness,the only thing - poor breakfast (poor for 4stars)

Very nice hotel and staff. Very spacious room and bathroom. The service was excellent and the hotel is near one of the metro stations on the yellow line (same one that leads to the Duomo) Will definitely go back

Very good location. Easy access to subway. Fifteen minutes to Duoma by subway. Very comfortable beds and vareity of anti-allergic different pillows. One may suitable for you to sleep better. Rooms are very clean and quite.

It was our first stay at this hotel, we were coming to visit Milan, me my wife and my son (18). The hotel is near the Duomo and the city center, if you take the subway. At the reception they are very nice. Because we had to wait for our triple room they gave us a suite!!! At the end of our stay they offered us the car parking!!!

Brilliant Hotel. Brilliant location. Will definatley return.

Il solo punto debole resta la colazione. C'è un po' di tutto ma sembra piuttosto scadente come qualità e questo stona con il livello dell'albergo che invece sembra ed è una struttura più che confortevole. Il personale, sia alla reception che in sala colazione, è molto migliorato nel tempo e ultimamente è più accogliente e cordiale. Lo consiglierei senza dubbio, nonostante la distanza dal centro, anche considerando che la fermata della metro si trova praticamente all'uscita dell'albergo.

Tres bon hotel, bon rapport qualité prix, proche du centre ville

excellent rapport qualité prix. Propreté irréprochable et personnel très aimable et serviable. Le confort de la literie est excellent. L'hôtel, bien excentré, se situe à 200 m du métro ce qui est très appréciable. on peut se rendre en centre ville en 12 min. Je recommande vivement cet hôtel.

Good location, near metro (Line 3, Porto Di Mare, 20 Euro taxi from Linate). Excellent reception staff. Would use this hotel again.

Ottimo servizio, ragazzi alla reception gentili e di ottimo livello. Peccato solo il bagno un po' piccolino: il resto di ottimo livello. Ci torno volentieri

Very nice modern hotel.

Rooms are Ok. Upgrading into a Suite. Quality of the breakfast buffet was very bad and the personnel in the breakfast room breakfast very stressed. The Hotel is not so easy to find even the highway is not far from the Hotel. Very good is the connection to the center with the u-tube just 100 meters from the Hotel. Also very good was the quality of the bed.

Good hotel. Good value. Except.... the rather miserable and cheap Mistral hotel, just round the corner, gives you internet access for just 5 euros for 24 hrs. The Santa Barbara, at San Donato, gives you 24 hours for 12 euros. Here, it is a RIDICULOUS 20 euros! With the same Swisscom company that the Santa Barbara use. This is way over the top, and a real consideration if you have to use the internet and are after a reasonably priced hotel.

Hotel very good situated, only half a street away from the underground and 5mins travelling by underground to the centre of the city (same line to Duomo). Breakfast included with a great variety, it´s all you can eat. The only thing is that the restaurants inside the hotel are a little bit expensive, but you can find restaurants near the hotel at good prices. The staff is very polite and they help you with anything you need. My family and I enjoy so much our stay and I will definitely come back to the same hotel

very very good indeed and I payed only 79 euro for double room!!

Buon albergo! Ve lo consiglio!

Everyone can find in this hotel all they need. SBP exceed my standard and I pay only 100€/day

Great location, very close to Linate airport, and 10 min by subway from center of town. Huge, spacious room, modern shape, well furnished. Easy to get to hotel, for a good price. Only negative is that there is parking in the basement, but there is no discount for hotel customers, so it comes out pretty expensive. However, there is on-street parking which isn't too hard to find a block or two walking distance.

Great place, great comfort! Bed is really king size, there are 6 types of pillows, there is a kettle and some instant coffee/chocolate/cappuccino, toilet is nice and clean, toilet kit comprises a soap massage bar... Well done!

Expensive open hour and breakfast not so good as I expected.

Apart from the fact that the cleaning staff left my door wide open for several hours with all my belongings in the room, having totally disregarded the 'do no disturb' sign and then did not do my laundry, instead prefering to leave it behingd the front desk, then leaving the cleaning materials and dirty towels still in the bathroom was MOST DISAPPOINTING. Apart from that the usual national offering for breakfast was inedible and the overall experience left me wishing I was elsewhere

veramente confortevole

Nicest hotel ive ever stayed at. The surrounding area isnt great but Town centre is 5 mins tube ride away. We were upgraded free of charge. Breakfast was excellent too. Great getaway from hustle and bustle of city!!!

everything was really nice and pleasent, the only thing that is bad is if you are in a tourist plan it is a little far, even though it has a metro outside in the corner. But there was a metro strike and we have to take a taxi that is very expensive.

slightly far from centre but really really near to the metro station (yellow line). 4 star hotel, and it is a four star hotel ;)

non ho parole per descrivere il mio soggiorno. forse due: incantevole e fantastico, amche se intorno il paesaggio lascia desiderare. ci tornerò sicuramente.

It was very clean, the breakfast was wonderful, the staff very helpful. Despite the hotel was not in thge center of the city it was very close to the Metro station so in 10-15 minutes we were in the center. The price was very reasonable for usch good quality. I wcan definitly recommend everyone coming to Milan to this hotel.

We've got a suit instead of double std. It was marvellous.

we where 3 adults they gave us the third bed by the feet of the two other beds with not even one inch of space, we could not move all the rest was OK

Generally good,rooms clean, staff very friendly and helpful. Breakfast good too. It was the end of April and quite warm but the air conditioning was not allowed to be switched on (govt regulations) which made for an uncomfortable stay. We opened the windows but were right above the front entrance and so it became noisy. Range of TV channels limited. Driveway to carpark is very narrow and curvy.

Very charming hotel not too far from the center and near the the subway.

Great hotel, kind staff, acceptable prices. However, there are 2 problems, first, the external aspect of the hotel which needs a lot of work, and second there is no bathtub but only a shower in the bathroom.

Nice hotel, not far from the center of the city. We would stay there again. Das Hotel hat uns gefallen. Es befindet sich nicht weit von dem Zentrum der Stadt.

The breakfast was very poor.Excellent location to underground. I was very happy for early check in.

Very clean and comfort offering hotel, few steps from the underground station

Excellent Hotel.

The stay at the hotel was quite nice. The only thing I was not happy with, was that the hotel restaurant was closed during our whole stay. We were ther from 28 to 30 of december '07.

What a great experience! This is the best deal in Milan, it is a bit outside of the city but very easy to get to via the metro (3 euro for a whole day of rides). It was the best bed I have slept in in 4 months of traveling Europe. Everything was better than expected, would highly recommend!

OTTIMO HOTEL, ELEGANTE, PULITO, SILENZIOSO, VICINO METRO, PERSONALE GENTILISSIMO, CONSIGLIO VIVAMENTE!

Our stay was very pleasant. Hotel reception was attentive, quick and helpful. The rooms are quite big, the beds are amazing. Amenities and cleanliness was wonderful. Easy to rich from the centre of Milan. Thanks for all :-)

My husband and I were so disappointed with this hotel that we cut short our stay. The room smelled like old smoke and urine. We were concerened about the security because when you leave the hotel for the day, you give your key to the person at the front desk to place in this slot with your room number. We watched as people came in and simply asked for the key to a room and were never asked to show some form of identification. We had a difficult time finding this hotel. The location is in a rather distressed neighborhood. We tried to eat in the restaurant but we could not eat the food because the place was dirty. I would never recommend this hotel to anyone. The write up, pictures, comments etc. on this hotel and the reality are like night and day.

la colazione e'veramente scadente

Viaggiando sola per lavoro lo Starhotels business palace è perfetto poichè trovi tutto all'interno della struttura senza dover uscire. L'unico "neo" è il servizio serale al ristorante che, per lo standard qualitativo trovato, risulta veramente scadente poichè lento e poco professionale. Comunque è un albergo dove tornare!

It is a good hotel and just a few steps from the underground station. The breakfast is great and the rooms are spacious and quiet. But the reception staff were rude, somewhat. When I get to the hotel to check in it was 13:00 and one of the employees told me that they may not have a room ready even after 2 PM despite the fact that I reserved this hotel a month before my arrival date. I argued with them and hopefuly they accomodated us by 14:00.

I travelled to Milan for family reasons. We stayed two nights, had dinner the first evening and both breakfasts at the hotel. We were a party of three adults and two children (one 4 years, the other 10 months) and the hotel staff were pleasant and most helpful with luggage, high chairs, food requests, etc. We had a large car and the hotel underground parking was a little tight, especially the access and exit ramps. Beware of the door stop in the bathroom, it is at the foot of the toilet. Still overall the hotel was ideally located for our purpose, the services we used were totally satisfactory.

Very good hotel. Nothing nearby.

très belle chambre spacieuse pour 2 adultes et deux enfants, métro à proximité. tarif avantageux. à recommander. accueil exceptionnel. garage payant mais fermé.

very handy if driving as you can park easily and get a quick metro into the centre

Cable internet wasn't working, and internet access must be paid separately, something which I don't expect in a 4-star hotel. One of the employees was not competent.

le seul point negatif est le restaurant de l'hotel qui est en sous sol et ressemble plus a une cantine. malgré cela nous avons appréciés notre séjour a cet hotel qui est trés pratique d'accés par voiture; sortie d'autoroute tout prés.

nice choice but a bit expensive for those offered..

Da ritornarci

PERFETTO! DA RITORNARCI VISTO ANCHE IL PREZZO

Although I advised the property in advance to change my reservation (change a double for a triple room), they charged me a no-show fee.

Hotel highly recommended!

very close to metro station!!

Hotel molto bello, forse un pò fuori mano ma avevo l'auto e quindi per me la posizione non rappresentava un problema. Molto vicino agli snodi viari più importanti del nord Italia.
