Hotels near Kasa Dei Libri in Milan

The reason we choose this hotel was the approximity to train station Milano Centrale. It was abt 5 mins walk from the station. Check in was a breeze. We booked the classic double junior suite. Room was very spacious. Bathroom came with standing showers. Breakfast was good with a lot of varieties to choose.

In Milan, I have also stayed at B&B Hotel Milano Cenisio Garibaldi, Hotel degli Arcimboldi, Lloyd Hotel, Hotel Pierre Milano, Hilton Milan & Mokinba Hotel King. My reviews, to compare, can be found on TripAdvisor. Pros: - Location: (Walking) Porta Nuova (6mins), Corso Como (8mins), Brera Art Gallery (15mins), Monumental Cemetery (17mins), The Fashion District (20mins). - Bathroom amenities: Soap bar, combined shampoo/body wash, shower cap, hairdryer. - Free in-room WiFi (average speed approx. 29Mbps). - Quiet at night. Cons: - Room design is rather impracticle: no chair with back if you need to work (only a pouf stool), small desk not deeper than a laptop, almost no storage spaces, very dimly lit, bright neon light for the keycard slot that you cannot disable during sleep, in-room safe not large enough for a tablet or laptop, no door on bathroom area (so if you travel with someone else, make sure you are comfortable seeing each other intimately). - Breakfast is quite odd and overpriced. Located in the reception area, you can see and overhear all the discussions with guests (or gossip among staff about guests, which we found rather unprofessional!). A set menu plate with no choice (so we had a lot of food wastage). No standard items, ie. no fruit yoghurt, no cereal, no pastries (only a mini donut and mini muffin), no fresh fruit, no hot food, savory items only a couple of slices of ham and cheese from a plastic supermarket packet. Same items every day, mainly bread-based. - Staff need more training for a 4-star hotel. Check-in was slow, used toiletries not replenished when cleaning rooms, unprofessional staff behaviour as mentioned above. - Quality of towels and toiletries very low (more suited to a 3-star hotel). - Many fire escape maps in the hallways are completely incorrect, wrong room numbers and wrong hallway designs. Unsure how these passed safety inspections.

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.

Service: Glam Hotel did not honour the booking but instead they put me up at Smart Hotel next door. Hence the review is on Smart Hotel. No explanation was given by Glam except that they had issues with their reservation system. My friends checked in 1 day earlier with no issues. Smart only provided body shower gel. No soap toothbrush etc.i also could not adjust the room temperature. It was hot. Room was clean though.

The hotel was very welcoming and had such great amenities! We highly recommend the breakfast and ask for Francesco! By the second day he remembered our coffee and juice order. He was so kind and offered such great service, as did the bartender and staff. It is a really lovely hotel and experience in a great location.

Before arrival, I contacted our Globalist Concierge about securing an update for our 5 night trip with one of our upgrade awards. They responded almost immediately that we had been upgraded to a Premium Suite which was a nice way to start out. We arrived about 2.30PM via the Central Train station and it was a pretty quick 7 or so minute or so walk to the hotel. We found the path straight forward via Google maps and the area around the hotel seemed to be a mix of business and residential and we thought it was perfectly safe. The walk to the hotel was quick and easy enough but the train ride from Malpensa was longer than I thought and not that great really for being called an ”Express” train service. Arrival at the hotel we found only steps to get to the lobby which was mildly annoying as we only had limited luggage, more luggage would have been more annoying as it was several steps not a few. The lobby was a bit of a mess when we arrived but the check in desk agents got the rather complicated guests before us (why do some of you make check in so complicated?) sorted out quickly enough and it was our turn to check in. If there was a Globalist check-in area is was not practical to use as there was not much room to separate the masses at the desk. To be fair, I never saw the desk that busy again during our stay so we may have hit it at just the wrong time. At check-in we were advised of our upgrade to a Premium Suite, about Globalist breakfast option being in the restaurant and also about a free minibar. We also got two drink coupons, I believe that was due to Globalist status. Based on what I heard from the previous check-ins, it appeared the minibar was free for everyone but it was just a few sodas. Our room was not quite ready so they asked us to sit. They insisted on taking our bags while we sat in the lobby. We no more sat down and they came over and gave us our keys and said our bags would be taken to our room. We got to the room and the guy was just leaving from delivering the bags. The room was nice but I would not call it a suite, the terminology is a bit misleading. Imagine a normal European sized room (small) with a entry way on the other side of a half wall and a shower on the the other side. Ok, the shower was the steam room but it also had a shower so you could rinse off after the steam. Honestly, it was a waisted upgrade for us. We had not interest in the steam thingy and the way the room is laid out with the half wall, you are really crammed into a small bedroom area. I have plenty of the upgrade awards that I don't use so didn't bother me but I would likely just prefer a regular room in the future that was maybe slight bigger than the bed area of the suite. Functionally, the room was ok but one glaring missing item is USB ports next to the bed. I have come to expect that in any nice property these days and for a hotel that serves a lot of international guests, I think it is a must. People can mostly do without an international plu

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.

If you are even marginally interested in architectural history and international modernism, this hotel is a must. Beautifully restored and within a short walking distance of Milano Centrale, it was ideal for our 3-night stay. The floor to ceiling windows offer spectacular views, the room was warm and spacious and we appreciated the complementary drinks and the gift wrapped panettone cakes left in our room for New Year's. The breakfast was delicious, varied and plentiful and we loved the fact it was till 10:30am and till 11am on weekends. Special mention and THANKS to the reception and laundry staff who did everything to fix the button on my husband's suit in no time when we were running late for La Scala. We would definitely return!

Worked with TripGuy.com to book this hotel during our 2 week travels in Europe. This hotel was so nice and loved all the amenities. We did splurge for the suite and the extra room was so nice. Def get breakfast included. It was great and an awesome spread each morning. Service is super nice and it's really close to the train station. It was 15 min walk to the Duomo and other awesome parts of Milan. Negatives: I will say the room walls are on the thin side so when there was one rambunctious family, the concierge was quick to act and comped us some items to make up for it. I'd recommend bringing ear plugs.

Great hotel right across from the Milan Central train station. The staff were very organized and friendly. Great suggestions for places to eat and literally 5 min from the train station. The hotel is very trendy and the rooms were a great size. Funky vibe and well situated. I had a sitting area and separate desk space. The closet was different, shelves and open hanging. Safe and fridge there too, free wifi. Great pillows and bed. Bathroom was excellent, huge shower and great amenities. Definitely would stay here again.
