A boutique hotel fashioned from the ruins of a Pirelli Tire service center, right by the Porta Ticinese at the fantastic location of the entrance to the Navigli entertainment district. This location is where you want to stay, an interesting 10 minute stroll from the Duomo and Galeria, and right across the street from all the shops,bars and restaurants of the Navigli. The hotel itself is almost impossible to describe as it fancies itself as some kind of British gentleman's sporting club, with so much crazy mismatched furniture and bric-a-brac you couldn't look at it all in the 4 days we were there. Lovely staff were a bit more friendly and nice than actually helpful, but not really a serious negative in most cases. A nice continental breakfast basket is provided as you are seated in the morning with homemade croissants, etc. Each room is based on a sporting motif which was kind of fun. It looked like an older Italian couple owned the place and lived there as well as you could talk to them around the public areas, and observe them reading the newspapers and watching TV with their feet up in the "lobby" area, which gave the place a nice homey feel. A shout out to their little dog Pina who has the run of the place as well and helps with the comfortable atmosphere.
