Hotels near Fitness Barre Studio in Milan

I was so happy that the hotel is located 300m away from the metro station that has elevator and escalator access. I was carrying a luggage that is 40kg over and I’m happy that the metro it’s not far from the hotel. The hotel staffs upon checking was very nice and I decided to extend 1 more day and the staff was happy to assist me on that. My room was at level 6 which is great because I prefer staying at high floor (level 7 was the highest). When I inspect the room upon checking-in, it was very clean althought they only provide soap, shampoo, towels & toilet rolls. No toothbrush etc. which I don’t mind at all because I brought my own. The housekeeping was great although some only speak Italian and don’t understand English but they did their job in cleaning my room every single day, just like how I entered it on the first day. They did change the towels to fresh towels and make my bed. Overall, I will stay again at this hotel whenever I’m in Milan.

We stayed in this hotel for one night, but we were really happy with it. Staff courteous, attentive and very helpful with all requests. Furthermore, the hotel is full of greenery and plants and this gives a very bright and welcoming environment. The center of Milan can be reached in a few minutes by taking the metro line from Maciachini. Absolutely recommended.

The hotel is somewhat off-centre (away from the business districts of Milano), but within broader city centre with reasonable public transport (~20 mins tramway including wait at the stop) and ~10 mins by taxi. Lively city area for non-business travellers (tourists) with choice of restaurants and more public transport links to areas of interest. The cleanliness is rather good, I only scored it less (2/5) because of the interior in bad need of renovation. The design is 1970-s/1980-s and the age since last decoration is probably not much fresher. This gives it the appearance of a run-down place, although they make good effort to keep it clean. The choice of darker brow-nish colours, combined with the installation of (very) very economic light bulbs, makes the room feel too dark and thus - less pleasant to stay in. For a business traveller it is impossible to read anything outside the spot of the reading lamp. It is also impossible to shave in the dark-ish bathroom, except for people who know their face well enough to shave with their eyes closed. The extra lamp above the mirror did not work, it was a bare little bulb (apparently in need of replacement) and the lampshade gone. Further need for maintenance in the bathroom was the sink - with the waste plug not opening to empty the sink, and the latter filling to the safety hole near the top, even form just a brief handwash.. The breakfast area has capacity for a busy crowd in the rush hour of all tourists taking a late breakfast, but the staff struggle to serve everyone fast enough. Some supplies were not replenished (e.g. bread, the fruit juices, milk for coffees) and later nobody ever came to the table to ask if we need something (perhaps they are not meant to serve tables, just clean them and replenish supplies?) The reception area was much brighter lit than the rooms, had modern automatic glass doors, and overall felt newer and better. Reception staff were friendly and helpful. Based on the overall experience, approx. 4/5 is a reasonable score, but by the hotel categorisation criteria I think 4 stars is too much and 3-star would describe it more accurately. They should remember that satisfaction is always biased by expectations - from the higher expectations of '4 stars' there would be more dissatisfied guests (like yours truly) than if you honestly promise a decent 3-star experience (then I'd have scored everything 5/5). This wouldn't impact revenues as, from what I know form MIlano hotels, the price was very competitive and would fit a 3-star property. Would I recommend it? To tourists - yes; to business travellers - only as a backup in case of fully-booked Milano like duringthe trade fair or Fashion Week ;)

Francamente una delusione. Prenotare un 4 stelle ed essere deluso su tutte le aspettative dispiace molto. La struttura non si trova nelle immediate vicinanze della metropolitana. Ma questo è un aspetto che già conoscevo. Struttura molto grande con reception che non ti mette certo a tuo agio all’arrivo. Freddezza ed antipatia. Questo è il primo impatto. Un 4 stelle non può non avere un bar nella hall. Ci sono dei distributori automatici funzionanti con sole monete. Se si è sprovvisti di monete non si può consumare, in un 4 stelle! Pazzesco. Alla reception ti dicono subito che loro non hanno monete per il cambio perché le macchinette non sono gestite da loro. Ridicolo. Nella stanze, a noi hanno dato una familiare con angolo cottura, quindi servizio residence, c’era solo una bottiglietta d’acqua nel frigo della cucina. L’albergo andrebbe ristrutturato o perlomeno non può essere, allo stato attuale, qualificato come un 4 stelle. E lo voglio spiegare, secondo il mio modestissimo parere, con il supporto di fotografie. Le tende non sono mai state lavate. Sporche e puzzolenti. Avvolgibili che non si chiudono benissimo, con manipola per alzarli, visibili in foto. Sembrava di stare a casa di mia nonna. Televisione vecchia con decoder che noi a casa abbiamo cambiato da tempo. Il bagno è vergognoso. La descrizione del water la affido alla foto. Rubinetteria, flessibile della doccia, maniglia nella vasca da bagno (la doccia è troppo moderna da queste parti) pieno di calcare e ruggine. Tenda alla vasca, in un 4 stelle, improponibile. All’entrata, dal soffitto piove, l’impianto di condizionamento gocciola di continuo. Piastre dei fornelli elettrici della cucina completamente arrugginiti. Mi chiedo se non c’è un ente, un’associazione di categoria che controlla gli alberghi ed assegna le categorie. Il Contessa Jolanda dovrebbe avere l’onestà di declassarsi di qualche stellina e dovrebbe provvedere a dei corsi di accoglienza ai clienti per i propri dipendenti. Un cliente deve sentirsi prima di tutto ben accolto e coccolato. Se questo avvenisse, su molte delle problematiche esposte si potrebbe anche sorvolare. Pessima esperienza, da non ripetere.

I stayed in this hotel for almost two weeks in March and April 2023. I was satisfied in every way. The reception staff are all very experienced, helpful and kind. Special thanks to the Mr. Stefano and Mr. Simon and the all other colleagues. The breakfast was also very good. The hospitality of the ladies in the breakfast section was excellent. I had a long stay and the hotel staff treated me in such a way that I didn't feel like I was away from home. My room was big and very clean. The ladies who were in charge of cleaning the room were experienced in their work. All in all, I had a very good experience of staying there and I also strongly recommend this hotel to others. I would like to thank the management and the staff of the hotel and wish them all success. Thank you all Mahnoosh Yazdanpanah

The hotel is very close to the train station, but the entrance is quite small, causing some difficulty in finding it. The breakfast on the top floor is excellent, and the rooms provide a view of the train station.

Very good location; 5 mins walk from the station and 20mins walk to Duomo. Easy access to the Metro as well. The lady at reception who welcomed us when we arrived was very nice (half pony tail and blond). The phone in the room doesnt work; had to go down to ask for a kettle. The room is really small though as well as the bed. Great that they allow us to store the luggage before check in and after check out. View from the room overlooking the station is not bad. Not noisy.

This hotel is under renovation. When I checked in, it was around 2pm and desperately wanted to rest but the room was REALLY loud because construction was happening right outside of my room. It was ridiculously loud. I asked the front desk to change the room and the second room they gave me was a lot better. I personally do not understand why they charge you full price when the hotel is under construction. There should be some kind of advantages to customers when the hotel is going under construction.. The room was small and clean. It was clean but I can tell air wasn’t. The mattress was terrible also. Right side of the mattress was a bit sagging. It was obvious that the customers were sleeping on the right side of the mattress more often.. it was sagging on the right side. I stayed in this hotel for 4 days and definitely would’ve moved if it was free cancellation. Front desk staffs were very friendly and supportive. However I do not see this hotel as 4 star hotel.

Hotel location wise was near to Milan city but the train interval was not that frequent. Hotel room was clean (except bathroom curtain) but lacking of many things such as complimentary drinking water.
