We went to Milano for a few days to catch an Inter's game and a friend suggested this hotel, near…read morethe Central Station.
Some other friends and also we read in online reviews, were less convinced about this people due to the safety of the area around the station and the fact that this is part of huge hotel chain and the rooms are small.
As far as I am concerned all these worries people had seemed out of placed and unnecessary. There was no safety issue whatsoever in the streets; right outside the station there are often groups of young immigrants spending time together, but we weren't bothered at all.
We walked with no problem around the hotel, to the metro and toward the center also in the evening, so relax, it's fine; just use the same common sense you use all the times.
The hotel: well, it is a bit small, but it's an Italian hotel, not an American hotel, so lobby is small but service was courteous and with no hiccups; room is not huge but it's all we needed and clean. Plus, let's face, if you are in Milan, how much time are you going to spend in the room??
Our experience was just very good and the location is perfect, a short walk to station and metro. Also, if you don't want/need to go far, from the hotel to the Station there are several good restaurants to stop by. Some told me they are expensive because of the location, but although I am Italian, I live in Florida, so to me those prices were extremely good.
We will be back to this location, hopefully this year!
