"We stayed in two different suites during our visit. On the first night, we had a suite with three beds on the third floor. After deciding to extend our stay by an additional night, we moved to a different suite with two queen beds on the fourth floor. While both rooms were comfortable and well designed, we preferred the fourth-floor suite. It featured higher ceilings, a larger bathroom, and one of the queen beds was a foldout sofa that was very comfortable, and felt more spacious overall.
The rooms are compact, as is common in many European city hotels, but the layouts are excellent and make very efficient use of the space. The beds were comfortable, and the shower was fantastic.
A special mention goes to Luca at the front desk, who was exceptionally attentive, professional, and welcoming throughout our stay. The entire staff provided excellent service.
A highlight was lunch at Ristorante Da Gennaro dal 1936 near the Duomo. We ordered Spaghetti alle Vongole and were immediately impressed—it was not only our favourite version in Italy but quite possibly the best we have ever had anywhere. The flavours were perfectly balanced, the clams were fresh and plentiful, and the pasta was cooked beautifully. We enjoyed it so much that we ordered a second serving to share. (The opposite was true at the Risoellate.)
Overall, this is a comfortable, well-located hotel with excellent service, and I would not hesitate to stay here again or recommend it to others visiting Milan."
