Nhow Milano, Milan

Advantages: cheaper than many in the area, clean, comfortable, easy access to sights
Disadvantages: bathroom not great, no restaurant

....00 Triple room: ? 450.00 Junior Suite ? 600.00 (prices may vary - this was posted in November 2008 - check website at http://www.hotelteco.it/prenota.asp for the most up-to-date rates) OVERALL VERDICT At 80 Euros per night, including breakfast, I was very happy with this hotel. It was clean and comfortable, in a safe location, and within easy travelling distance of the main sights of Milan. If you're looking for a cheap and relatively basic hotel as a base for your city break, then you could do far worse than the Teco.

Advantages: Clean, Loads of restaurants, comfy seats
Disadvantages: No where to smoke

...Imagine being tired, yet handcuffed to a running machine thats on full pelt, welcome to Milan Malpensa.

It is also connected to Linate Airport by a scheduled bus service. The Milan airport system has a third international airport, Orio al Serio Airport, which serves low-cost and charter traffic. Malpensa handled over 21.7 million passengers... Read review

Advantages: Historic, decent restaurants, good shopping!!!
Disadvantages: Don't speak the language!!

...I was somewhat persuaded to visit Milan in November last year. My best friend Dani, being Italian herself, therefore completely biased, nagged and nagged me for 3 whole weeks to go. "Right" I thought, "if it shuts her up I'll go." Her smile was the size of the moon, a full moon that is. No problem with the country or the people. It does help though when you can speak a little bit of the language. Could I? No, not a word. So Dani taught me a word or three. "Busta di munetza!" (Excuse the incorrect spelling). "Bag of rubbish," it means, literally. Right, that will get me a long way when I ask for a cup of coffee won't it? Dani hates flying. God that journey was an absolute nightmare for the first 20 minutes. I held her hand like a kind friend would do. Had no blood in my left hand by the end. The price you pay... Read review
