So thankful for the Malpensa Express and that the station is basically connected to the Sheraton at…read moreT1 Malpensa Airport. It makes for a super convenient and economic way to get from the airport or the Sheraton if you are staying there, to Milan! This review is if you're trying to get to Milan from T1 or the Sheraton. Make sure to purchase your ticket to get off at the Cadorna stop. Tickets are 13 euros each way. Make sure to have your ticket handy, as they have train staff come through to scan tickets. There have been times where they don't come by, but always make sure to have your tickets. You can purchase your tickets inside the terminal and then take the escaltor down to the track. It's super easy. Malpensa Express to Cardona takes about 45ish minutes. It is not non-stop, there are some stops along the way.

When living in the Centro Storico section of Milan we used this service often and boarded at the Cadorna train station. Have your ticket ready to scan for access to the platform and to show the train conductor. See the departures board at the station for track assignment. In our experience, Malpensa Express has a dedicated track at each station so if you use it often, you know where it will be. When purchasing tickets specify if you want to arrive at the Malpensa T1 or T2 station. One terminal is for flights within Schengen, the other is for destinations that require boarder crossing. Your flight confirmation should specify which terminal you are leaving from. Malpensa Express trains are 'direct'. When traveling from Cadorna to T1 the trip takes just over half an hour and costs one way thirteen euro. A direct train to T2 takes 3/4 of an hour for the same price. Other direct trains depart from Centrale station and Garibaldi station. All are the same price. Be sure you are using the Malpensa Express website to book these 'door to door' trains online. Each trip is under an hour in duration and conveniently arrive right below the airport. The trains offer overhead luggage racks for small bags, some storage is located behind/between seats and many cars have luggage racks by the door. All carriages are 1st class, the seats are comfortable and as there are no stops, there is no worries about missing your stop. Malpensa is the 'end of the line' or when leaving from the airport, your station of choice is the 'end of the line'. Several stations in Milan offer this direct Express service but not all of them. In these cases, you will need to book a separate train to reach your final destination or use the Metro. For a train, you may want to try the Trenitalia.com website for an English version of the Italian train service. Metro information is at milanpublictransport.com/metro-milan/ When you purchase your ticket from one of the many ticket machines at the station, be sure to 'punch' the ticket at one of the small green boxes on the platform to validate the ticket. If you purchase the ticket online bring a printout or have a screenshot ready for the conductor. You can purchase your ticket from the ticket agent at the airport station upon arrival. Follow the signs for Malpensa Express down to the lower level. A ticket counter is located at the top of the escalators and ticket machines are off to one side. The agents are not known for being chatty in English. All you need to know is how many biglietti you need ('bee-eht-tee') and what station you are trying to reach: Centrale, Garibaldi, etc. The ticket machines offer a number of language options - just touch the British flag icon for English.

There are 3 floors and you may have to walk up some beautiful stairs. The double room I was in was modern and very nice and large and very QUIET. Another room I saw was more rustic but also very nice. The service is very personalized. The owner will go out of her way for you. The hotel is in more of a business district and very safe. But there are some nice restaurants close by. I chose it due to proximity to Cadorna station where the airport express runs from. The hotel is a 10 minute walk to the station. You have to walk through a grassy park so if you have a lot of bags you may need to take a 2 minute cab ride. The train to the airport takes 30 minutes and the hotel will help you with the schedule and help you with tickets. I recommend this hotel and I would stay here again!

Excellent hotel, location and staff…read more I had to call their reception staff prior to our flight to Milan to advise them we were running late due to airport delays. The person on the phone in perfect and very polite English assured me they won't issue a no-show and will be waiting for us. This was relieving as no one was certain when the plane was about to take off (yes, t'was a low-cost carrier, but that's another story). We arrived at close to midnight time, but still welcomed with a smile. The reception was anything, but big, however, the 2 personnel were efficient and the checking-in did not take much time. The lobby looked fantastic for a 4-star hotel - very clean and spacious. There were complimentary fruits, candy, cookies for guests to enjoy while waiting. We got a room on the 2nd floor. It was relatively small, but we were aware of that prior to arrival (it was a bargain price, so no reason to complain). It had everything needed - clean bathroom, comfortable bed, TV/WiFi, enough room for two suitcases. No view from the window, but that was OK, too. Overall, I'd give the room itself 3.5 Yelp stars. Breakfast the next morning was very rich. Great selection of cheese, bread, salami and Italian specialties, coffee, fruits, yogurt. The hotel's located very close to Milano Centrale train station, and also about 5-10 mins walking distance of the famous Corso Buenos Aires with numerous shops, outlets and gelaterias. Metro stations of two of the lines M1 and M3 are easily reachable (they both go to Duomo cathedral). Stayed there in the end of May, but doubt much has changed since then. Overall, I enjoyed the short stay in this hotel and if I get the chance, would book again.

While checking out we had a bit of confusion about the rates we had gotten, but it turned out we had made a mistake. However, they right away suggested to only charge the lowest rate first and double-check everything with the booking company on monday (we left on sunday) and get back in touch with us to charge the difference between the two rates on monday if needed. Also the breakfast is super nice here! Very big selection of all kinds of delicious things to start your day with :)

Convenient way to travel between Milan Central train Station and Bergamo Airport (BGY). Purchase a…read moreticket at Centrale in Milan from the outdoor Orio kiosk, (turn left when exiting Centrale and walk around the side of the building) or from the tobacconist shop inside on the lower level. At the Bergamo airport there is a desk/window just inside the doorway to purchase your tickets. When purchasing a round trip ticket, you save one euro. Buses are parked in spot #3 at both Centrale and Bergamo. The bus advertises free wi-fi, however I was not able to connect. Luggage is stored under the bus. The over head bins do not fit suit cases, or back packs. Although close together, the seats are comfortable. It's a quick easy ride.

(There is a VisitBergamo app and you can send a text that allows you WiFi access while visiting Bergamo.) Don't forget when you depart the train station to validate your ticket in the yellow box located in the terminal. I think the train tickets on Trenitalia are a very reasonable way to travel within Italy. I know some trains get delayed, but they make announcements at the stations. My experience, fortunately, has been on-time and very efficient service.
