The staff weren't happy to have religious Jewish guests when we explained the problem of opening automatic doors on Shabbat. When Shabbat came, however, they were very helpful.

welcoming at reception especially Irene!very helpful and knowledgeable.we were upgraded to a suite with sitting area on top floor.free mini bar with varied soft drinks was a lovely touch, and well received! we could see the alps from our bedroon window.trams and traffic can be heard especially as the trams rounded the corner that the hotel was on but we did manage to sleep!close to metro which is easy to navigate and fast to get to duomo etc.lovely patischeria about 100 metres away-go there for wonderful cakes!nearest supermarket about 150 metres.milan shopping great- especially round duomo area- and don't forget to take the lift to the roof of the duomo- fantastic!train to Como easy and views there wonderful.also if you fly into Bergamo get bus to medieval town on top of hill-beautiful-then come back down and get train to milan for less than 5 euros!

The staff who checked us in upon our arrival in the hotel acted more like a border guard than a receptionist. We arrived past 3:30pm but waited for more than an hour for the room to be ready. Upon check-out, we were slapped a charge of 10 Euros for phone calls we never made. Our rooms were facing the main street and the noise level was quite high. Rooms are large for the price but needed refurbishing and upgrading. Breakfast buffet was good and so was the quality of service in the area where breakfast was served.

The only 2 problems with this otherwise beaut hotel were- (1)the wretched trams that run past the western and northern sides of the hotel from about 5 am to 11 +pm- sleeping is possible and O.K. IF you wear ear-plugs (2) our room, facing west, was always just a bit too hot- we were there early Nov- we could not cool it down as we were informed that the hotel had turned the cooling system off, and only the heating system was available. However, for those travelling by train, it is an easy walk with bags from the main station, and this was hard to appreciate from your map. breakfasts were beaut. Increasing problem may soon be the huge development basically across the road, of the new Trade Centre, which is to be ready for the 2015 World Expo- it is about 1 km square!! I guess there will be plenty of trucks and noise etc associated with this.

This hotel is wonderful and I cannot recommend it too highly. The rooms have recently been refurbished and they are beautifully furnished. The breakfasts were excellent and, because we had to leave early on our day of departure before the breakfast room opened, we were given carrier bags crammed with food to take with us to the airport. We got all of this for a brilliant price and the next time that we're in Milan we hope to stay there again - I would be very disappointed if we couldn't.

El hotel se encuentra muy bien situado, a 15min de la estacion central de trenes y a unos 20min del Duomo.Lo que no nos gusto mucho fue la habitacion, nos dieron una primera planta(pidiendo si nos podian cambiar por una habitacion situada en un piso superior y dandonos la negativa,hicimos la reserva con un mes de antelacion)que daba a una calle muy transitada por coches y tranvias que cada vez que giraban la calle emitian un ruido considerable.Tuvimos tb un problema con el aire acondicionado y fueron bastante groseros a la hora de solucionarlo, uno de los recepcionistas se lo tenia un poco subido el ego.Los servicios eran los esperados y servian un bufffet bastante bueno y abundante!!

i visit milan vry often. this time i've been there during the fairs, so, all hotels were full, that's why i actually choose the windsor. what i've seen on the pictures and how hotel actually looks is one huge difference! room was looking dirty and bad smelling, the breakfast was very poor, the only good thing in this hotel is quite nice location.

Stayed 2 nights. The hotel staff was very competent and service very good. Good breakfast buffet, served till 11:00. Clean room and very nice bathroom. Welcome complimentary cold drinks in the room. Unfortunately on the 'wrong' side with noise from the rattling trams, but acceptable as it was a discount offer and good value for money overall.

Las fotos que aparecen en internet no corresponden a la realidad. La habitación que se nos dio era mucho más pequeña de lo que nos esperábamos. La situación está bien. Se puede ir andando desde la Estación Central si no vas muy cargado, son unos 15 min.(el primer día cogimos un taxi y luego nos dimos cuenta que sólo hay que bajar una avenida hasta la plaza de la República). La zona del Duoma está a unos 25 min. andando en línea recta. Puede hacerse si no se está muy cansado...

The room itself was spacious and clean. Trouble was that when we tried to have some rest during the afternoon hours (we arrived that same day to Milan and were very tired) - we couldnt close an eye for a second. ON the floor above us, some renovation works took place... Someone was wrecking the walls with a heavy hammer, and our room shook. When I told all that to the person at the reception, He just shrugged and didnt say a word... Sorry fellows. That is not the attitude you expect in a hotel, let alone a 4 star hotel.

In this hotel female single corporate travellers are not allowed to bring a guest to the room. I have had a dinner with a business client and wanted to bring him to my room to discuss the schedule for next day. (my pc and calender was in my room). I was told in a very rude way that it was not accepted by the hotel. I have travelled as a single corporate traveller for many years, all over the world. This is the first and only hotel that treated me as if I was a prostitute.

El hotel está muy bien, tiene internet wi-fi gratis, al igual que el minibar. Lo único reprochable es que tenía solo una ducha muy pequeña, cuando creo que un hotel 4 * tendría que tener bañera. Y lo que sí, mucho ruido de la calle, sirenas, coches y tranvía. Yo no tuve problemas para dormir, pero me despertaba de a ratos.

Buen hotel. Situado cerca de estación de metro Pza. República. Buen desayuno buffet. Las habitaciones son cómodas, aunque se oye el tráfico de la avenida. El personal también es amable.Los alrededores del hotel son tranquilos. No hay restaurantes o locales de diversión demasiado cerca. A pesar de ello, el ruido del tráfico se escucha por las noches. El hotel es recomendable.

Nice, budgetery, but not the most modern hotel. A unique thing: they have free mini bar (restricted to a waffel and some non alcoholic soft drink) in the rooms. Not the best 4 star hotel, but defenitely worth the money. Can be offered to anybody.

This has to be one of the better hotels I stayed during my long trip around europe. it was very well priced for a 4 star establishment, especially this being milan! I paid a mere euro 45 per night for a single room which makes it excellent value. They say that its walkable from the train station but so is everything if u have the energy. Its not that near the main train station. its better to take the metro to republica and walk from there. The hotel looks good and the stay were helpful. They spoke english but had difficulties with communication at times. There were free snacks and coffee in the foyer which was great. My room was not huge but done up well. The toilet appeared as big as the room proper! the TV was of a good size with good reception. there was the usual writing pads/pens etc which was useful. One night, when i returned to my room..my used towels were removed but not replaced. so when i rang the front desk, there was only one person on duty ( not for a 4 star hotel i am sure!!!) I had to go downstairs and get a key for a different room to obtain the towels and go back down to return the keys! The breakfast was great. a selection of cold ad hot choices. good quality and quantities. well presented. nice dining room too. location was avaerage. its in between the main train station and city centre. it is walkable to the core but will take a good 15-20mins. Prices in milan are very variable but when u get a good deal..grab it. This hotel is very good value for money but the location was average. I would certainly recomend this hotel to anyone who wants a little luxury at a budget price. a good choice.

Average hotel; unfortunately, welcoming at reception was very unfriendly and discouraging. If personnel had been more appreciative it would have given my stay a different perspective. Otherwise o.k. regarding the room as such. Location of hotel in walking distance between Central Station and historic city centre.

For a 4* hotel not as good as I expected in terms of quality of room. A little impersonal but the staff were very competent (even to the level of arranging a printer for a laptop in order to print som late modifications to documents). Overall, adequate for the business traveller without being special.

Decidedly unfriendly, unhelpful front desk staff who double qualified that we wanted a room with a double bed despite the special request being made at the time of booking, obviously because we were a homosexual couple. My advice to other gay couples, this appears to be a molst unwelcoming place to gay couples, and in a city like Milan, very disappointing.
