Atahotel Contessa Jolanda

We got this hotel after making a bid on 'name your own price'. As the reviews were 1 good, 1 horrible, I had mixed feelings. However, the fears were baseless: We got a very nice huge room on the 8th floor. The building may date from the 1970s but it is well maintained, furniture quite new, big rooms, huge bed (especially for Italian standards) and all clean. The area is a bit off the center, but at a normal residential area. Metro station is a 5 min walk. Graffiti are a general problem in Milano, not only in this district. Taxi is some 15¿ to the Cathedral during the day.

Positiv: big room, big bed, 8th floor

Negativ: location a bit far from main attractions but not too bad

Positiv: Great free breakfast, served in a restaurant at the top of the building with great views.

Negativ: WiFi charges. Small and dated exercise area. Out-of-the-way location.
