Hotel del Corso  

This was by far the worst hotel experience I have ever had in my life and I am saying this not taking into consideration that I almost filed charges against the hotel's so called manager Marco Zaza. There is no way this is a 4 star hotel. At best it is a 2 star hotel. I chose it because of price and proximity to train station since I would be arriving late at night. They gave me a room next to the elevator. Actually the elevator was more like in the room. I went downstairs to ask for another room leaving my bags in the room. When I went back upstairs the traditional key (not card) would not open the door or come out. The key got stuck in the door. I went downstairs to get the receptionist, Claudio. He came and tried to open the door for almost 45 minutes. Eventually he broke the key in the door. He gave me another room and I had to sleep only in my boxers during a cold winter night. It was almost 3:30 am by the time I went to bed. I was supposed to check out early next morning to go skiing but they told me that they could not open the door and get my bags before 10 am. I told them that they should either break the door immediately or let me stay another night at a discount because I was forced to stay an extra night in Milan. They gave me a %40 discount on the room (€30 rate) and promised I would not get a room next to the elevator so I left the hotel around 8 am.

I came back to the hotel around 10:30pm the same night. When I asked for the key I noticed they gave me the same room as the night before. I told the receptionist the manager in the morning had promised me I would get another room due to the problems I had experienced the night before. The guy at the reception, Marco Zaza, said that he would not give me another room because "I had cost him €100". I was furious. Claudio had told him I had broken the key although he broke it himself. Even if I had broken the key, Marco had no right to talk to me in that manner. It is a hotel and I am guest for Gods sake. He could not just blame me for something he did not witness. We exchanged ugly words. First time in my life a hotel manager cursed at me when he was supposed to apologize actually. Then he said the room is €100 instead of €30. He said I would either pay €100 or leave or he would call the police. I told him this was an unethical way of doing business besides being extremely rude. Marco said I had no proof of the €30 rate since it was only told to me verbally in the morning by his colleague. This is how low he could sink. I told him to call the police. Of course he called someone else most likely the owner of the hotel and told me I could stay at the rate of the night before, €48. I was so tired from the night before I did not want to go to another hotel. I should have. People like this should not be in business. No one should stay here eventhough it is cheap.

We spent two nights in the hotel with my husband and a baby and liked everything about it except for the weather. But this is not a hotel's fault indeed :) Clean, quiet, centrally located, staff ready to help, breakfast - really abundant and beyond my expectations (worth noting that I'm a vegetarian). WiFi free!

A minor dislike - cold tiled floor and only because my baby used to toddle barefooted.

Ideal for Linate Airport and Milan Centrale station both close to hotel

Breakfast coffee could be improved a bit.

really friendly staff, recommended well restaurants... would go there again when visiting Milan. Tram station 2 min walking, shopping street 1 min walking. perfect!

Very professional and friendly staff; Renovated, clean and comfortable rooms; Great location (5 min from central station); 1min from Buenos Aires street!!!!

Stazione Centrale is 10-15 minutes far by feet, 24H reception

It's within a low-cost 1 night stay format - nothing less, nothing more.

The hotel itself met the standard. The room was clean and comfortable. The bathroom was good. The hotel is very close to the big metro station, which allows you to access other areas of Milan easily. However, if you're looking for an easier accessed hotel, you would probably choose a hotel closer to the Milan Station Centrale. I was not the fan of the location. We needed to take the taxi to and from the hotel to get in and out of Milan city center. The really weak point is probably the staff's lack of knowledge about many attractions. We bought tickets to see Leonardo's The Last Supper. We were told that the chapel, in which exhibits the painting, was only 8 minutes away and was easily accessed. It's true that it was easily accessed, but it certainly took more than 30 minutes not to mention that the front desk staff told us the wrong station; so we got lost in Milan for quite a while. When we asked about the outlet over at Swiss Border, Fox Town, the front desk staff told us to take a taxi. Fortunately, we researched because it would probably cost us 100 euro to take the taxi. However, the hotel really assisted us when we wanted to leave the luggages at the hotel. There were quite a number of luggages; so the staff opened a room for us to keep all our bags. That was really helpful. Over all, it's a nice and comfortable hotel recommended for people with small luggage.

The room I stayed in was very small, the room was a little bit cold and the cleanliness was not so good.

Superb value for money - WIll come again Jonas, Denmark

I have stayed in this hotel for 7 nights.the location is perfect.it is just few steps from loreto metro station.the room was clean with moderate furniture .the receptionists marco and micheale were so helpful.if I come back to milano,i will definitely stay at hotel del corso.
