B&b La Foresteria

When you arrive at the B&B, there is no one there to greet you. You ring the bell, say who you are and you are buzzed in. No words spoken. Your key is on a table. We entered the room and it was decent sized and appeared fairly clean (more on this later). As about a 1/2 hour my wife said, “it seems like a bunch of “dudes” run this place.” And she was right…. There is an incredible lack of attention to detail —- no glasses in the room,no bottled water in the room (although there are bottles of water in the breakfast room - you have to search for them). Lights don’t work. Towels are grey and threadbare. Safe doesn’t work. There was a print leaning on top of the armoire taped to a frame without glass-wrinkled, and ripped. Why wouldn’t they just get rid of it or fix it? The rug in the entranceway is so thin that it is completely not functional. You just slip on it. Coffee pods in the breakfast room are not well stocked. Breakfast is supposed to start at 8 AM at about 7:57 a “dude” running in with a bag of croissants and proceeded to set up the breakfast room. He finished about 820 or 830. He barely greeted me, just mumbled the entire time. I think my wife was right! The biggest offence (this was commented on by various other guests): We stayed in the gray room, and the shower was completely full of black mold. The owners know this because of the Expedia reviews, but nothing has been done about it (so they dont give a crap). And…Light streams in all night from the street

Good place to stay

Check in and out were very easy, very walkable city so easy to get to and from places

Great place to stay, staff is friendly, convenient location. Breakfast not of great variety, but great quality compared to mainstream hotels.

I was only in Milan for a day. The location is only 5 minutes walk to the train, where you can access everything. Alessandro was a fantastic host and very helpful with giving recommendations. Great deal for anyone wanting to explore Milan!
