Hotels near Leonardo＇s Horse in Milan

Thanks for all.The everything was good.I hope we will return again. The location is great,near the metro station. The only drawback was that they put the towels on the bidet for some reason. Thanks for our enjoy holidays.

A few years ago this was Mini Hotel Portello, very known among conventioneers heading to Milan Expo. Recently it has been acquired by B&B Hotels. Husband and myself spent there six days during our house renovation, we are very pleased about our staying. We got an updated room, spacious and bright, overlooking Via Silva; we were on third floor and never were annoyed by traffic nor by noise from street. There is storage space enough for an urban stay or short vacation, just one drawer though. Plenty of plugs for your devices, two chairs ( no sofa nor armchair - in Milan space is very precious!!). Bathroom was ample, well appointed, but a bit dated - very clean though. Room was serviced every day, I would say it was sparkling clean. We loved their buffet breakfast/so called ”Better than brunch”, they offer choices for everyone, gluten free and vegan included. The ”Sweet corner” had brioches,muffins, donuts and different cakes that were constantly replenished. At the ”Salty corner” we enjoyed Leerdammer and Brie cheese, assorted salami (Parma included) , scrambled eggs and wurstel. Of course there were freshly baked different kinds of bread, jam, Nutella, yoghurt and assorted cereals, milk , tea , a coffee machine (so so expresso for us Italians!!) and fresh orange juice. Definitely that good breakfast display can keep you going until dinner time!! B&B offers also a small bar and ”shop” with essentials such us ”forgotten” toiletries,bags of chips, shortbreads , sodas , bottles of water and, I believe, a few choices of wine. At walking distance - less than 5 minutes - there are two underground stations with different lines, you can reach Duomo square in twenty minutes! At walking distance,10 minutes, you can reach Citylife centre that offers many restaurants and various shops. A convenient supermarket is nearby as well. Highly reccomended

Just a word: I'm a shit! I have sleeped a night in this hostel for need (with two friends fortunately!!), an experience I don't advise anyone. At first the girl who checked in told us “it's a 50s hostel, so wait for this,” we thought at the beginning it was ironical but it was really like that. It was still in the 50s for the CLEASE speech. The structure is decadent, dirty. A room on the ground floor, half-stop door, “balcony” connecting to all the other rooms with door that is directly on the traffic without even a tent (so they could see inside)!!! The beds were linen, no couchs (and I have to say less bad, because I used the towels they provide you...). To do not mention the bathrooms with unexisting cleaning: washing boxes, bathrooms with no key to close, and on 5, 4 was without toilet paper. I did not do the shower for fear of the conditions in which it was. Well, I and my friends have laughed not to cry, but it would be a place to look again or close, given the price you ask for a night!!

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 ;)

Very good Budget Hotel. All the staff are lovely. The rooms are dated but solid with loads of extras like a hair dryier, kettle etc, The Breakfast options and room are good. The area is not central to Milan but your not paying Milan central prices. so bare this in mind when reading negative reviews. Also 10 min walk away is a lovely shopping centre, that has food hall that has options to suit all tastes and much cheaper then Milan central prices. Ideal for a few days exploring the area.

The Klima hotel is absolutely lovely. The service was wonderful, all of the staff were polite and friendly and we got a”Bonjourno!”or a “Ciao!” every time we passed. The room was spacious and the bed was huge! The shower was powerful and everywhere very clean. The location is within an industrial estate but the bus stop is a 5 minute walk, the tram stop is a 10 min walk, and the local train station is a 15 minutes walk, with a Milano card, this was great. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay.

So we went to Milan to watch the football at San Siro stadum and this hotel was perfect for the price. It is in an industrial location however there are resturants close should need to find somewhere to eat or have a drink. It is easy to get around and to get into Milan by using the buses and tram and all you need to do is download the ATM to get a ticket and it will work out how to get to where you need to be. Hotel is modern and very clean. Brewakfast was nice with selection of cold meats, cheese, bread, eggs, bacon, cereals, pastries and fruit. For the price I was impressed and would definitely stay here again if I visted again.

Disappointing and horrible service! We check in here last night and to start off, the hallways are so dark, it’s like a horror movie. Not the kind of hallway you would want for a vacation. The room is not sound proof so we can hear a couple next door fighting for an hour in the morning. Ohhhh and there’s no free coffee, they charge for a coffee and as well as getting our clothes ironed! We called to ask if they can deliver us an iron board since in our stay in Rome & Florence, we had access to it with no issue. Here they charge to iron your clothes and we couldn’t get the iron in our room. For the price they are charging, it’s not worth it!

It is good to find such a hotel in Milan at this price. Although it is a little expensive, it is worth it. The rooms have been upgraded and the view is particularly good. I also helped park the car in the garage 100 years ago.

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
