I was pleasantly surprised by Hotel Villa Malpensa. The property has a lot of character while still…read morefeeling updated, and I liked the balance between the more traditional style of the hotel and the modern touches throughout.
I stayed in a Junior Suite with a king bed and balcony, and the room was incredibly spacious, clean, and comfortable. It was a great place to spend the night before an international flight. The room had AC, plenty of hot water in both the shower and sink, and automatic window covers that could be lowered with a remote. I also enjoyed the morning view from the balcony. You can see the parking lot beyond the front lawn, but the grounds and surrounding scenery still made for a nice view. Despite being close to the airport, I didn't hear any noticeable noise during the evening or morning.
I unexpectedly arrived very late in the evening and was initially worried about checking in, but I was told there was someone at the front desk overnight, so it ended up being easy and stress-free. The parking lot is also very spacious and gated, which made me feel comfortable leaving my rental car there overnight.
Breakfast was included and was decent, filling, and convenient before heading to the airport. Overall, I had a very comfortable stay and would definitely come back if I needed a hotel near Malpensa before or after an international flight.
