Hotels near Serendib in Milan

Hotel location wise was near to Milan city but the train interval was not that frequent. Hotel room was clean (except bathroom curtain) but lacking of many things such as complimentary drinking water.

This place definitely has its pro’s and con’s and it depends what sacrifices you are willing to make for price. Looking at other reviews I thought I wouldn’t mind it as I’m not too fussy usually but overall I felt uncomfortable and didn’t really want to stay any longer than I had to: Pro’s -Good cheap price -Whilst further out, it’s super convenient for public transport right outside the hotel only 2 euro to get into Milan only takes 30 mins tops -The man on reception was lovely and very helpful -Rooms are big and whilst very dated and nothing to shout home about if you’re used to budget travelling they aren’t filthy or falling apart -Nice big shower room -Fast, free Wi-Fi and slippers and towels Cons -We felt the area at times was slightly scary (although we did first arrive at night) some concerning characters/gangs in surrounding areas and appeared to be in the hotel as well. It’s a pretty rundown area and we didn’t feel very comfortable there -The walls - I’ve never known anything quite like it to be honest it was so so loud I could hear absolutely everything the entire time. Babies crying, doors shutting, people talking/shouting, playing music, stomps up the hallway - constantly and late into the night waking us up. This all added to the sense of un-ease as it didn’t seem like you were on your own and I couldn’t relax in the room and just wanted to leave. -We were also in an outhouse which wouldn’t usually be a problem but felt so exposed as it was that it just added to the feeling Despite all the positives we couldn’t look past these negatives and I really wouldn’t recommend regardless of price.

I was so happy that the hotel is located 300m away from the metro station that has elevator and escalator access. I was carrying a luggage that is 40kg over and I’m happy that the metro it’s not far from the hotel. The hotel staffs upon checking was very nice and I decided to extend 1 more day and the staff was happy to assist me on that. My room was at level 6 which is great because I prefer staying at high floor (level 7 was the highest). When I inspect the room upon checking-in, it was very clean althought they only provide soap, shampoo, towels & toilet rolls. No toothbrush etc. which I don’t mind at all because I brought my own. The housekeeping was great although some only speak Italian and don’t understand English but they did their job in cleaning my room every single day, just like how I entered it on the first day. They did change the towels to fresh towels and make my bed. Overall, I will stay again at this hotel whenever I’m in Milan.

The Hotel Brunelleschi is in a convenient location to the main attractions and amenities of Milan, a 5 minute walk in a safe location. The hotel is known for its' business travelers which is how we knew of the hotel from my husband's previous stays. It is clean and well appointed with a spacious lobby, restaurant and bar along with a large dining room on the lower level serving their breakfast buffet. The room was large,comfortable with an additional small sofa which was also a pull out bed. Multiple charges available. The bathroom was well outfitted with great fluffy towels. Generous breakfast buffet offered hot and cold items with a varied selection, even offering Proseco for those who wanted to make mimosas. Staff at the desk gracious and accommodating to questions and requests. Efficient in arranging our car transportation to the airport on departure.

Me and my partner spent some time there. After leaving, we had forgotten a costly item at the hotel. Upon trying to reach them to retrieve said item, we were met with disinterest on their hand. We tried emails, calls and reaching out to them on social media, all to no avail. It's been a month since we haven't heard anything about said item, and we are honestly very dissapointed at how our situation was dealt with.

I booked and paid for standard bed however once I was there I was informed they are full to capacity and only twins beds were available. My trip was for 5 nights and the they would only be able to offer me a standard bed the last night of my stay. I was also told that I'm staying longer than the normal as their minimum patrons stays between 2-3 nights and my stay is longer. The food is also not desirable. I was disappointed by that being in Italy and not having a capable chef. The person working was overwhelm as the was the only one and there were many people to attend to. The location was not ideal as it was right next to an abandon building and walking to get the bus was dark and creepy. Because it was my first time in Milan I was expecting more but next time I'll choose another hotel closer to the town. It's good if you're seeking few days just to stay All the staff at the front desk were exceptional and that was a pluys

Wonderful place to stay in! The hotel is comfortable and nice, staff is very, very friendly and the rooms are clean. The rooms have lovely balconies. Soundproofing was bad though - I could hear everything happening in the corridor. Also there was a (locked) door leading from my room to the one next to me and when my ”neighbour” was taking a shower or watching TV, I could hear everything so well that I woke up one morning my shower was on. The location is bit weird, but worth the train ride and walk.

What a great hostel, I’ve stopped at many hostels in my time but this was very much one of the better ones. I can only comment on our private room however. Friendly welcome, easy enough check in even though we arrived at 2am due to cancelled trains, not a problem! Great bar and area, things always happening. We saw a live jazz band in there for the one night we were there. Pub crawls, city tours for free, speed dating have it all. Our room was great, clean and comfortable. It was quite loud during the night, noisy neighbours (not the hostels fault) and a weird kind of opening of vents or something from the aircon possibly. Couldn’t put my finger on it but maybe worth looking at. Thankyou to the team!

Sono stato in questo hotel anche se per la prima volta è credo che ci tornerò al più presto, parcheggio enorme e gratuito, personale molto cortese, pulizia buona, camera comodissima e soprattutto ben climatizzata, ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo lo consiglio a tutti

We arrived in Bergamo airport via Ryan air and quickly bought tickets for the bus transfer into Milan Centrale station for 12 euros each. It being a Friday evening the traffic was fairly heavy and instead of the transfer taking 50 minutes it took and hour and 5 minutes but that was understanable on a Friday evening especially as the area had just had a heavy rain storm. We arrived in Milan Centrale and if we had taken a correct turn we would have arrived at the Grand Doria Hotel after a six minute walk. Sadly we turned the wrong way (mainly in part to a review on this site that told us to walk right at the Star Hotel. You dont. There is a Star Hotel on either side of the road. Walk between them and it's left from the station car park). Once we arrived (45 minutes after getting off the bus) we were presented with a beautiful hotel. It's been around since the turn of the 20th century and has kept that look whilst being descretely updated for the 21st century. We checked in quickly and was told that the resturant was closing in ten minutes so instead we bought some supplies from the Carrfour Extra supermarket which is located across the road and to the left. The hotel room itself was lovely. A massive bed, plenty of wardrobe space, a lovely bathroom with a toilet, shower, bath and bidea and all decked out in marble. The room had a good size television mounted to the wall opposite the bed (around 42 inch tv is my guess) and was in high definition. The breakfast, which was included, was excellent. Cereal, cheeses, figs, scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage (hot dog, european, style) juices, fresh coffee and tea, croissants, and plenty of other pastries. The choice was huge. We spent the day in Milan and then in the evning looked for somewhere to eat. Around the hotel choices were limited and closer to the centre Milan was heaving with people so we chose to eat in one of the two resturants the hotel had to offer. We ate in the Cafe Doria. My Wife had a delicious pasta dish and I had the veal escolope with a citrus sald and we shared a green salad. We alos had a large bottle of water between us and I had a very nice glass of red wine suggested by the maitre de. The total for this was 55 euro and was very reasonable. The maitre de even chased after us after we left to make sure we took the rest of the bottle of water with us. He was a lovely man. I highly recommend this hotel. It's location is good. Far enough away from the centre of Milan that you don't have to suffer with the noice of the city and close enough that it's a three minute walk to the nearest Metro station (2 euros for 90 mins of unlimited travel) and a 6 minute walk to the main station. It's beautifully kept, the staff are very friendly and it's well worth it's four stars. Normally they charge 285 euros per night but we managed to get the room for two nights for 250 euros. A bargain and well worth it. Highly recommended.
