Lonely Planet review
In a quiet alley off Via Camperio, this clean, three-star business hotel is a stone's throw from Castello Sforzesco. Given its position, it doesn't make a bad base from which to do the sights.
A modest redbrick building is home to this functional, clean and efficient 38 room hotel in a very peaceful spot, with the traffic of the Castello Sforzesco area out of sight and sound. It has a large lounge/bar area (open 24 hours) and offers up a pretty decent breakfast (for Milan). Most of the single rooms have beds so narrow that turning over in your sleep is a risk-laden proposition, so try to score one of the rooms with the larger beds. Some of the double rooms have balconies, which are the ones to snag. The rooms are simply decorated and are very clean, with spotless bathrooms. While it does most of its trade serving business clients, it's in a great position for a shopping stopover.
