Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Area around the station can feel busy — Being right by Milano Centrale means a lively, busy neighbourhood with constant foot traffic – not the calmest setting if you prefer a quieter base.
- Breakfast selection is modest — One guest noted the breakfast buffet isn't huge, though it was still described as good and enough to fill you up.
- Dining scores lower than other categories — The hotel's dining rating is 7/10, the lowest of the four measured categories, so expect decent but not exceptional food options.
