Barcelo Milan

Great hotel! With awesome views of the surrounding mountains! Well connected to the motorways either you going to Como/Turin/Bergamo! With a 10 minutes walk you reach Certosa train station that leads you to the city centre. The hotel is very clean and staff super helpful! I will definitely stay again! The Spa /Gym access can be improved as it feels like you are always on a timer

Great hotel for a family stay. Staff were all very friendly. Hotel has a great swimming pool, steam room and dry sauna. Changing rooms and lockers are available along with Towels provided in the swimming area for use on the poolside loungers. No need to take down your room towels. Had a stocked mini-bar in the room which was reasonably priced. Bottled quality water in the room. Nice large restaurant serving until 10:30 pm. Bar/pound menu available until midnight. I highly recommend the €8 Ham and Cheese toasted sandwich if you are not that hungry. Two pinball machines in the lounge area and two pool tables which were great fun. Spaghetti Carbonara is very nice. Steaks in the restaurant are very nice. Good breakfast choices with Omelettes also made to order. Plenty of breakfast seating and as you would expect for Italy, good Coffee selections! The Hotel has a nice outside seating / smoking area next to a waterfall wall. Taxis called from reception arrive within 5 minutes. Things to consider: It will cost you more to get into Milan Centre than it will to come back to the hotel. The standing charge for hotel pickup starts the meter rolling at €9 so getting into Milan Centre (Duomo) will cost around €30-€€40 euros. Taxi drivers do not use the fastest route or the SatNav. Returning to the hotel from Milan Centre will cost you €25-€30 as the pickup charge from a Taxi rank is only €4 to start the journey. Do not use Uber!! They are very expensive and frowned upon by the Milan Taxi Driver community! Taking the Taxi from Malpensa to the hotel may cost around €125-€130 on the meter. There is a flat fee maximum charge from Milan to Malpensa of €114 which we paid even though the meter ran to €128. Don’t attempt to drag your kids on the Trains from Malpensa onwards to the hotel. It may be significantly cheaper but you will regret it especially at night as you have to walk a total of 25-30 minutes between stations and then on to the hotel. We did it on the way but my son is 18 so we coped. In summary, hotel is great but the travelling from the Airport to the hotel and in and out of Milan Centre cost us €450 for a 5 night stay.

Loved staying here! We stayed here for 9 days. The room was very spacious and the bed was extremely comfortable. Hotel and rooms were exceptionally clean. Miguel at the bar quickly became my buddy! He spoke Italian, English and Spanish, which was super helpful since I speak English and Spanish, and made my attempts at Italian, which he helped me with! The hotel is on the outskirts, so you’ll need a taxi to the city center/train station. But overall, it was a great experience here.
