“Quiet and clean”

Just came back from Milan where I stayed in Zambala for 5 nights and it was the second year in a row that my colleagues and I stay here and could not complain about anything! the hotel is located a bit away from the Duomo which is really great because it's quiet but the good thing is that you can reach anywhere in Milan using the LODI T.I.B.B. subway located a few mns' walk from the hotel. Next to the Zambala you have some interesting places such as the Fondazione Prada and the QC Terminale Milano Spa. The staff were really helpful and decent, making sure everyone was more than satisfied. We each stayed in a nice studio with a queen bed, kitchenette and private bathroom. On the ground floor, you can use the gym, yoga room, even a laundry room! We will surely stay here next year for the Salone Del Mobile.

Stayed with wife and 2 kids in large suite while brother and wife stayed in another room for the same weekend as we coordinated a visit to our sister who lives walking distance from the hotel. This hotel is quirky- not sure if the building started out as something else and became a hotel, but anyway it served us just fine. Quirky - the property has a private entrance which is gated, requiring the front desk to let in unregistered guests (e.g. taxis or visitors), but depending on whether the person on duty went to the washroom or is attending someone else, there is no way to get in if he gate is closed - there are no phones/intercom in the room, so the only way to contact the front desk is to head downstairs - the wifi had a 29 character passkey (fortunately, once set it did not need reprogramming) - they have a coin-op washer and dryer, but no detergent on site - there is no breakfast on the premises, but croissants are served daily when staff arrive - the elevator has a Buddhist colour coding for each floor (see photo) Our room was handicap accessible, so the bathroom had oversized space for wheelchair access - very spacious. And yet not so much room for toiletries except on the ledge of the mirror. Moreover, the shower box had a tendency to spill all over the place after showers and we had no implements to mop up the floor afterwards, except for some towels. That said, the rooms were very spacious, even with the living room sofa unfolded into a bed. Kitchen amenities were ample and the motorized window blackouts worked as intended. AC worked well during the sweltering summer heat. Reception staff were friendly, although there were periods that no one was manning the front desk. I would like to recommend guests looking for breakfast options to consider the Fondazione Prada which has a mini-cafe open even on Sunday morning. There is also a cafe about 3 blocks away that seems to be open all the time. I think people looking to find a Buddhist vibe would dig this place. I appreciated the proximity to my sister's apartment, but I doubt that would be the major appeal to most guests.
