Hotels Near Church of Saint Gregory The Great in Milan

I have never been more pleasantly surprised than visiting this hotel. I was looking for an affordable hotel with a good location, so my expectations was mediocre. First impression couldn't be better with an amazing lobby, friendly service, and quality design throughout. The room was equally stylish, super clean, and with great space. Icing on the cake, I had forgot my shaving kit, but after visiting the reception they gave me a free shaving kit. I will definitely choose this hotel next time Im going back to Milano. It was honestly my best hotel experience!

I stayed at the Hotel Galles with my two year old son to visit the Christmas markets and generally do some sightseeing in December 2022. From the get go the staff were fantastic and we had a room with a large and comfortable cot (with small duvet and pillows) and a big bath tub. The breakfast is a buffet style and has a great range to select from. We had dinner in the restaurant on our first night and it was beautiful 🤩 I managed a sneaky glass of wine at the Cardiff bar where Christian was absolutely lovely with my little boy. Whilst we didn’t use the pool, it was great to know it was there if it became too chilly to go out. The location of the hotel is perfect, ten minute walk from the Central Station - don’t make the mistake of getting the airport train to the Cordona station…it’s a 50 minute walk even if the train is quicker! The reception staff were incredibly helpful and gave us lots of advice about where to go and how to get there. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend to others. There’s is some residual noise from the streets and the trains but it’s an inner city hotel, so I expected that but it didn’t keep us awake at night. Thanks to all the staff who made our weekend away extra special.

We booked our trip with the priority of visiting Lake Como, Bellagio etc. We added two nights at the end of the trip in Milan before our flight home and left booking our accommodation til last. I didn’t have high expectations at all, especially since most of the service around Lake Como was pretty average. I was also reluctant to book this hotel as it was very new at the time of booking with no reviews etc. By far this was the best hotel we stopped in on our trip and felt the value was great! Alexandra & Simona on the front desk need a special mention. On check in, despite a queue slowly forming behind us, Alexandra was really patient in giving us 10/10 customer service helping us get accustomed with the area so we could maximise our time exploring before our room was ready. We were able to leave the bags at the hotel for free during this time. My partner also got in touch with the hotel in advance as we got engaged earlier in our trip. For comparison, we stayed in a 5 star hotel in Bellagio on the night of the engagement who knew about it all through my partner’s planning but did no special touches etc. I guess it is not a given but it’s a special touch… meanwhile NH Corso pulled out all the stops! We had a complimentary room upgrade (205) and were welcomed to balloons, confetti, fruit and a personalised message in the room! It was such a special touch! Alexandra also recommended a delicious local bakery called Pattini which is great for breakfast if you don’t have it included like us. For the hotel room itself, since it is a new hotel, it is very modern, clean and functional. Nice little touches like lighting in the wardrobe, a nice big mirror, hooks to hang up your jackets etc. It sounds a bit pedantic bUt it all made it such a comfortable stay! They have amenities you can request from the reception too but they are sustainable in considering wastage etc which is nice to see! My only tiny feedback would be the seal on the shower door isn’t fixed properly which caused the bathroom to get wet quickly, Im sure they can fix this quickly though :) the bar in the hotel lobby also looks great but we didn’t get chance to try. The hotel is a good location to the train station but it is still a 15 min walk, so keep in mind if you have a lot of luggage. Definitely doable though like we did! The area zona Buenos Aires is lovely and lots of shops around for an evening stroll. We went to the Portobello restaurant approx 10 min walk away which I would recommend. All in all definitely consider this hotel, especially when you look at the price compared to other £££ ‘central’ hotels as this is located super close to a subway station which makes transport so easy.

Rooms are good toilette and shower very good. Lifts a bit too noisy. No Gym no swimming pool are a very negative aspect. Overall the relation between price and services are not worth the money. Location very good for business..

A little different than I’m use to, the hotel is on one floor of a building. The room was spotless and very nice. The features of the room were mostly what I would expect from a high end hotel. The only things I would have liked were a softer bed and fluffier pillows (and my room was 13 lol) The location was perfect just a minute or two walk to the trains, and right across the street were restaurants selling anything you could want. I’ve seen this property rated very low and was concerned but when I arrived I was very pleased.

It was a very suitable hotel for our family travel. We were very happy with its breakfast. You stay in a kitchen room like apart hotel. Also around it is a huge supermarket and beautiful places. The greatest advantage is that it is at the bottom of the metro station. I would prefer the same hotel again if I were to go again.

This is my second time at Hotel Tocq, there’s no better recommendation than that. The location is great, near Garibaldi station so not far from the central station either but in a much nicer and safer area. Well connected with metro, tram and suburban train. Walking distance to a lot of nice areas. The breakfast buffet is rich, it has a lot of savoury and sweet options and also caters to vegans and lactose intolerant. The staff is friendly and quite helpful. I would only improve on some things included in the room: -the slippers (there’s always one pair instead of two, but they will give you the other if requested); -there’s no where to put the soap so maybe a hand soap dispenser would be better than the bar soap; - for lingerie stays it could be useful to have somewhere to store the clothes, am armoire or some drawers.

The service of the hotel is invincible, much better than traditional high-end luxury hotels. There are only a dozen rooms in the hotel, and the service is one-to-one. The rooms are large, especially suitable for a family. The biggest highlight of the hotel is the invincible view, the most beautiful view of Milan is right in front of your eyes. The breakfast is very good. Ctrip does not include breakfast and the direct restaurant bill is 48 euros per person. It is very good, and the service is very considerate. Since I got up late, the waiter told me to eat slowly. It doesn't matter if we charge after you finish eating. It's really sweet.

Great location — close but just far enough from the Duomo and relevant subway stops to make getting around Milan easy and quick. The staff was so friendly and helpful and clearly had our safety in mind. The room was right below the lively rooftop bar with a great view of the city. The room itself was small but perfect for me, my husband, and young adult son. The rooftop bar was fun and felt so glamorous, too! Their menu was on also topnotch, a great place to enjoy aperitivo and enjoy the nightfall sky. You could hear the slight thump of music from our rooms, but that didn’t bother us at all. The gentleman at the front desk was also so kind and helpful with all our questions from money exchange to metro stops to restaurant recommendations and even fashion advice!

I believe that if one is visiting a city with a good metro/underground system, then there is no need to stay in the centre of the city: choose a good hotel near a metro stop and one is set. Thus the Rubens hotel meets those criteria, being a good hotel and almost equidistant from the Gambara and De Angeli stops (they're on the same line). Breakfast was excellent with a good choice of foods available. One day we even had smoked salmon, replacing cold turkey slices. The coffee machine is probably very good if one drinks coffee, but we are tea drinkers, and the hot water could have been hotter. The room (114) was functional, good but not excellent. There is no full size mirror, no clothes drawers and the height of the bath tub seems excessive. The windows block any noise coming from outside. The area in which the hotel is situated is not the most upmarket but it is sufficient. As I noted previously, there is good metro service (the Duomo is eight stops away with no need to change; the central train station is a bit further away with one stop). Near the hotel is a Carrefour market where one can buy food at a reasonable price; they also have a cafe. There is an upmarket Osteria nearby (Osteria dei Malnat) opposite a good pizza restaurant (Billy's place). There are a few bars on the way to Carrefour, but I didn't go into any of them (check that they have tavolo calda - hot dishes). There is also a take-away kebab place. I can definitely recommend this hotel.
