Great hotel for a family stay. Staff were all very friendly. Hotel has a great swimming pool, steam room and dry sauna. Changing rooms and lockers are available along with Towels provided in the swimming area for use on the poolside loungers. No need to take down your room towels. Had a stocked mini-bar in the room which was reasonably priced. Bottled quality water in the room. Nice large restaurant serving until 10:30 pm. Bar/pound menu available until midnight. I highly recommend the €8 Ham and Cheese toasted sandwich if you are not that hungry. Two pinball machines in the lounge area and two pool tables which were great fun. Spaghetti Carbonara is very nice. Steaks in the restaurant are very nice. Good breakfast choices with Omelettes also made to order. Plenty of breakfast seating and as you would expect for Italy, good Coffee selections! The Hotel has a nice outside seating / smoking area next to a waterfall wall. Taxis called from reception arrive within 5 minutes. Things to consider: It will cost you more to get into Milan Centre than it will to come back to the hotel. The standing charge for hotel pickup starts the meter rolling at €9 so getting into Milan Centre (Duomo) will cost around €30-€€40 euros. Taxi drivers do not use the fastest route or the SatNav. Returning to the hotel from Milan Centre will cost you €25-€30 as the pickup charge from a Taxi rank is only €4 to start the journey. Do not use Uber!! They are very expensive and frowned upon by the Milan Taxi Driver community! Taking the Taxi from Malpensa to the hotel may cost around €125-€130 on the meter. There is a flat fee maximum charge from Milan to Malpensa of €114 which we paid even though the meter ran to €128. Don’t attempt to drag your kids on the Trains from Malpensa onwards to the hotel. It may be significantly cheaper but you will regret it especially at night as you have to walk a total of 25-30 minutes between stations and then on to the hotel. We did it on the way but my son is 18 so we coped. In summary, hotel is great but the travelling from the Airport to the hotel and in and out of Milan Centre cost us €450 for a 5 night stay.

“You may love it or not”

This is a very modern hotel and not really my sort of thing. But gave it 4 out 5 as that is personal preference. They love the use of plastics and bright green! Indeed the shower cabinet is a walk in affair but very very plastic. The hotel is a good 20 mins from centre of Milan. Taxi costs around… more

This is a very modern hotel and not really my sort of thing. But gave it 4 out 5 as that is personal preference. They love the use of plastics and bright green! Indeed the shower cabinet is a walk in affair but very very plastic. The hotel is a good 20 mins from centre of Milan. Taxi costs around €23. I feel if you are visiting to see the city - bite the bullet and pay a little more to stay closer. (We were in business) The beds are very comfortable and so are the pillows. There is a topper on the mattress. Breakfast has vast choice but the little we had seemed to be quantity over quality. Eggs were tasteless. Baked beans cold and salmon had a bone in it. Staff not particularly friendly but ok. (With a security guard) The other bug bare is the lifts. They are very tech but not in a good way. You have to present your keycard to the lift and it automatically knows your room floor. All well and good when it works properly. Our first attempt took us to the wrong floor. In addition when waiting for the lift you cannot see its progress. Which might sound ridiculous but subconsciously when you’re in a hurry, you at least know it is on its way.

Good hotel, rooms in perfect conditions, but restaurant service fit dinner is very poor. The servers are not organized, and the service is bad and poor, I waited for the starter 40 minutes, I did not like so I asked some french fries to the second dish, after more than 30 minutes they gave me the dish without any french fries, but at the meantime they were serving the fries to other clients on restaurant… so I started to eat but asked them 3 times please could you give me the french fries? They say yes but nothing… and after waiting again and again nothing happens so I have left my table very sad and dissapointed and paid my invoice. I don’t like the way this people treated me, the price I payed is very expensive and does not go with this level of service and even for the dish quantifies. This level of service is not for a 4 star hotel ! I will never come back.
