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.
The Airport that doesn\'t accommodate the needs of the smoker, (And the staff almost start laughing when you ask where the smoking area is!) brings to you the largest Duty free shop Ive ever seen in the EU, quite a few restaurants and cafe\'s and several bathrooms (Where the occasional smoker hangs out waiting to be handcuffed and pinned to the floor by the Italian Police)
The airport is connected to Milan by the Milano-Varese motorway as well by a dedicated train called \"Malpensa Express\". 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 ...
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 ...
