Excellent central localisation for this boutique hôtel. Some rooms have a view inside the Galleria! If you appreciate high ceilings and unusual places, go for it! Second stay, I will return!

ibis Milano Centro
Spacious lobby and bar, rooms were very small. Our initial room had a foul, sewer-like odor. We asked to be switched and they accommodated our request which was really nice. We did not have the breakfast but enjoyed a spritz in their outdoor area. Convenient to Milano Centrale.
