Hotels near Rotonda della Besana, Milan

I always prefer not to post bad reviews, but I am obliged to do so, in order for both, the hotel and the travelers, to be alarmed of the exprience of someone who stayed there. To be honest, I did check the reviews before coming and they were mostly bad, but I was on a business trip with 3 others, and it was the company who reserved the rooms for us. I will list below my experience: - The bathroom was the worst thing I have ever seen in a hotel!!! It was all rusty. From the sink, to the soap holder to the bathtub! Rustttttt everywhere. Also, the shower curtain was dirty, in the most disgusting way. Though its color was white, the edges were brown, a sign of how old and dirty it is. The bathroom door’s edges were rotten and awful. - The room was furnished in an old-fashioned way. The wood veneer was blue. BLUE! Can’t get any worse. My friends didn’t like their mattresses. Mine was good and I slept well. - Breakfast wasn’t bad, but not good either. - The 2 elevators took ages to come!!! we waited and waited and waited…. - The hotel was very clean, like extremely. Except for the rust, everything was clean! From the entrance to the hallways and the rooms. The housekeeping team might be the 2nd best thing in the hotel after the location. - Location: perfect! Right behind the Duomo and a short walk from Piazza Fontana, where you can take a cab. I gave the hotel 2 stars only: 1 for the location, and 1 for the housekeeping team. Our company won’t surely book us here next year for the Milan Design Week. The hotel’s management should read every single review here and work accordingly.

Great location — close but just far enough from the Duomo and relevant subway stops to make getting around Milan easy and quick. The staff was so friendly and helpful and clearly had our safety in mind. The room was right below the lively rooftop bar with a great view of the city. The room itself was small but perfect for me, my husband, and young adult son. The rooftop bar was fun and felt so glamorous, too! Their menu was on also topnotch, a great place to enjoy aperitivo and enjoy the nightfall sky. You could hear the slight thump of music from our rooms, but that didn’t bother us at all. The gentleman at the front desk was also so kind and helpful with all our questions from money exchange to metro stops to restaurant recommendations and even fashion advice!

The service of the hotel is invincible, much better than traditional high-end luxury hotels. There are only a dozen rooms in the hotel, and the service is one-to-one. The rooms are large, especially suitable for a family. The biggest highlight of the hotel is the invincible view, the most beautiful view of Milan is right in front of your eyes. The breakfast is very good. Ctrip does not include breakfast and the direct restaurant bill is 48 euros per person. It is very good, and the service is very considerate. Since I got up late, the waiter told me to eat slowly. It doesn't matter if we charge after you finish eating. It's really sweet.

We booked our trip with the priority of visiting Lake Como, Bellagio etc. We added two nights at the end of the trip in Milan before our flight home and left booking our accommodation til last. I didn’t have high expectations at all, especially since most of the service around Lake Como was pretty average. I was also reluctant to book this hotel as it was very new at the time of booking with no reviews etc. By far this was the best hotel we stopped in on our trip and felt the value was great! Alexandra & Simona on the front desk need a special mention. On check in, despite a queue slowly forming behind us, Alexandra was really patient in giving us 10/10 customer service helping us get accustomed with the area so we could maximise our time exploring before our room was ready. We were able to leave the bags at the hotel for free during this time. My partner also got in touch with the hotel in advance as we got engaged earlier in our trip. For comparison, we stayed in a 5 star hotel in Bellagio on the night of the engagement who knew about it all through my partner’s planning but did no special touches etc. I guess it is not a given but it’s a special touch… meanwhile NH Corso pulled out all the stops! We had a complimentary room upgrade (205) and were welcomed to balloons, confetti, fruit and a personalised message in the room! It was such a special touch! Alexandra also recommended a delicious local bakery called Pattini which is great for breakfast if you don’t have it included like us. For the hotel room itself, since it is a new hotel, it is very modern, clean and functional. Nice little touches like lighting in the wardrobe, a nice big mirror, hooks to hang up your jackets etc. It sounds a bit pedantic bUt it all made it such a comfortable stay! They have amenities you can request from the reception too but they are sustainable in considering wastage etc which is nice to see! My only tiny feedback would be the seal on the shower door isn’t fixed properly which caused the bathroom to get wet quickly, Im sure they can fix this quickly though :) the bar in the hotel lobby also looks great but we didn’t get chance to try. The hotel is a good location to the train station but it is still a 15 min walk, so keep in mind if you have a lot of luggage. Definitely doable though like we did! The area zona Buenos Aires is lovely and lots of shops around for an evening stroll. We went to the Portobello restaurant approx 10 min walk away which I would recommend. All in all definitely consider this hotel, especially when you look at the price compared to other £££ ‘central’ hotels as this is located super close to a subway station which makes transport so easy.

I have never been more pleasantly surprised than visiting this hotel. I was looking for an affordable hotel with a good location, so my expectations was mediocre. First impression couldn't be better with an amazing lobby, friendly service, and quality design throughout. The room was equally stylish, super clean, and with great space. Icing on the cake, I had forgot my shaving kit, but after visiting the reception they gave me a free shaving kit. I will definitely choose this hotel next time Im going back to Milano. It was honestly my best hotel experience!

The reason we choose this hotel was the approximity to train station Milano Centrale. It was abt 5 mins walk from the station. Check in was a breeze. We booked the classic double junior suite. Room was very spacious. Bathroom came with standing showers. Breakfast was good with a lot of varieties to choose.

We stayed here for 3 nights in August. The apartment offered a great view of Milan being situated on the 24th floor, it is totally worth asking for a high floor apartment! The kitchen was well equipped, complimentary coffeee was provided and also 2 bottles of water. Keep in mind that if you plan to stay longer you need shampoo and shower gel since only small toiletries are provided. The cleaning of the apartment each day and the change of towels comes at an extra cost, so be aware of that as well. The reception staff was very helpful and polite and we appreciated Them a lot. Overall it was a great stay for us, we would definitively come back here when visiting Milan.

My wife got a good deal on this hotel. At first it seems out of the way, but it is close to M1 underground line (Gambara closest stop). Plus there were quite a few very good restaurants within walking distance (＜15 min). We walked in to the centre of the city a number of times - around 40 minutes, but no big deal for us. I'd joined my wife at the last minute and the hotel were very generous and didn't request a supplement, which was not expected and obviously highly appreciated! All staff were polite and courteous. The room was spotlessly clean. Breakfast room on the top floor was great - light and bright with views west over the roof tops. We would recommend this hotel!

Wonderful place to stay in! The hotel is comfortable and nice, staff is very, very friendly and the rooms are clean. The rooms have lovely balconies. Soundproofing was bad though - I could hear everything happening in the corridor. Also there was a (locked) door leading from my room to the one next to me and when my ”neighbour” was taking a shower or watching TV, I could hear everything so well that I woke up one morning my shower was on. The location is bit weird, but worth the train ride and walk.

I stayed a few nights near the company's headquarters and had the opportunity to dine 3 nights at the hotel restaurant. Therefore, I had the opportunity to check the quality of the services in different circumstances. The first night I didn't know the reality and logistics of the structure, I was surprised by the courtesy and warmness of the welcome by Federica, came to me to make myself comfortable and to focus on dinner. The second night, all expectations from the first positive night were fully respected: reception, service, food and courtesy. The third was greater than expected, with excellent availability, professionalism and empathy, demonstrated by master Stefano and the sympathetic Nadia.
