For those accustomed to traveling to Milan, you will know the importance of finding a location that is central, easy to get to, and close to the underground subway system. On my last trip to Milan I chose this hotel and I have to admit it satisfied all 3 criteria.
The hotel is situated in one of Milan's most popular shopping streets Buenos Aires, having such stores as Terranova, Benetton, OVS and many many more just paces away. As far as getting to the hotel is concerned, whether you're coming from Malpensa or Bergamo airport there is always a shuttle bus which takes you to the grand central station. From there it is a simple matter of using the underground to get to the stop right next to the hotel which lies on the red line at the stop named 'Lima'. You will have to hop onto the green line to 'Loreto' to switch to the red line. You'll get the picture when you're in front of the rail maps, its quite straightforward as long you keep the ends of the line in mind.
Alternatively you may opt for taxi from the grand central station which wont cost you anymore than 8 Euros. For those planning to go to other cities the grand central station is a useful landmark to know how to get to. Once you get the underground in your system you'll be amazed how fast you can get to anywhere.
As for the hotel itself, the rooms are quite comfortable with available broadband as well as Internet on Tv. The television actually comes with its own keyboard. Bathroom facilities are also more than adequate, furnished even with a 'bede'. The morning breakfast leaves nothing to grumble about either, even though the selection is mainly continental. You won't find sausages or bacon but its well stocked with cereals, yogurts, ham, cheese, fruits etc.
As far as price is concerned everyone has his own standards. What I can say is this hotel cost me less than my usual hotel next to the grand central station so it was quite a bargain.
