House Beatrice Milano

Good location 20 metres from Milano Centrale

The hotel was on the 6th floor and on the last two days the lift did not work which made for a very long climb up and down. Lift is in any case very old and ricketty, so don’t get locked in.

Employee service and attention.

Very thin walls and noise from other guests.

Hotel faces the side of the central train station on the side that the busses for Malpensa Airport park. The busses for Bergamo and Linate Airports are on the other side of the station (which you can either walk through or walk round). Property is on the top floor of an apartment building, so you have to look for the sign or you can walk past it. Would advise taking the lift up as I think it was six floors, walking down not so bad. Looked like the property consists of 6 rooms and a 7th that the chap running the place lives in. There’s a buzzer to get in the door the first time, after that you’ll be given keys for the building and a code for the door. The reception desk is in the corridor right by one of the room doors. Room was spotlessly clean and had a view of the station and airport bus rank. Had 3 single beds, 3 bedside cabinets, multiple lights, 3 chairs, 1 desk with a coffee pod machine on it as well as other tea making, shelving and an open space for hanging coats as well as a slightly cramped bathroom with a decent shower. It could be noisy depending on the neighbours, but wasn’t, other than people checking in and out in the corridor (which means the rooms are only semi-private). Was happy with everything including the wifi and the basic toiletries provided.

Tap to shower switch was a little unreliable causing me to soak my hair when I was trying to wash my feet as the wooden floor wasn’t quite as clean as it looked, and Found that the coffee pod machine leaked. Worth noting it’s a couple of miles walk from the property to the city centre or castle, but the flat rate subway runs from the station to all major points and you can use it as many times as you like within the 90 minute ticket validity. Due to the poor signposting, the only issue is trying to figure out which station you’ve entered to work out which route you want to take.

Nice plаce to stay, very close to Milan Central Station, room was new, clean and comfortable.
