Several guests reported noise from neighbouring apartments or upper floors. Access can be challenging for some, with stairs to a tiny elevator, difficulty finding the entrance, and no on-site parking. Staff are widely described as friendly and helpful, though a few mentioned misinformation or dissatisfaction with room allocation. Best for travellers seeking character and boutique charm over big-hotel facilities.

Boutique setup inside an old building with access via stairs to a tiny elevator; several guests found the entrance hard to locate. There is no on-site parking, and the layout feels unusual to some.

Great location. Had a room w a terrace, which was an oasis in the city. It was comfortable and bright, and even had a kitchenette (didn’t use). The hotel is within a commercial/residential building. You need to walk up a small flight of stairs to get to a tiny elevator. It was ok for me but might not be for everyone.

We had a lovely, lift type room that was very spacious and it was well placed for the centre of Milan. However, the access through a strange little door into an unwelcoming lobby then up two flights isn’t stairs or an extremely small lift was very off putting. The staff weren’t particularly helpful either! This was not one for us

Did not receive the room that we booked! I specifically chose this hotel because it had a terrace and I booked a terrace room accordingly, but when we checked in and were shown to our room no terrace. I pointed this out to the clerk and was told there was "a problem with the terrace and that this room was a free upgrade". I reiterated again that I only chose this hotel because of the terrace and that I was not happy with the room, again I was told that there was a problem with the terrace that they couldn't fix due to lack of help and that this was "a free upgrade", as our car was parked on the street and we needed to move it and return it to the rental car company and we were tired from driving I didn't argue further. The next morning after a little investigating we found out that there was nothing wrong with the terrace and that all the terrace rooms were booked. When we expressed our displeasure to the morning desk clerk and pressed him on the matter we were told that only our room had a "problem with the bathroom"! We were never offered an apology and were lied to. I must add that my husband is native Italian and speaks fluently so language wasn't an issue. The sofa in our room was stained, the hotel was very hard to find because it isn't marked at all. We had to go into the hotels on either side of it (that did have signage to inquire) We stayed in 7 different hotels on our travels through Germany and Italy and this is the only one we wouldn't return to or recommend.

The staff is very friendly and accommodating. The hotel however is more like various rooms in an apartment building so the staff has no control over the neighboring apartments. We had to move rooms the first evening because there was a huge party in an apartment next door to our room (the terrace room on the 3rd floor). We moved to a room next to the kitchen adjoining the lobby which was quieter but again adjoining the kitchen and lobby. They were nice enough to move us but the whole situation was unfortunate. I’ve stayed in the area many times but my previous hotel closed because the owner retired. As much as I don’t like writing bad reviews and as accommodating as the staff was, I wouldn’t recommend staying here regrettably.
