IH HOTELS MILANO WATT 13 Luxe

We stayed 2 nights in this hotel. 2 nights was plenty for Milan. I won't dwell on Milan as a place as I'm meant to be reviewing the hotel, but any more that 2 nights/3 days and you may find yourself twiddling your thumbs. The hotel is located in a fairly rough looking side road (of which there are plenty in Milan). There is no view, apart from a couple of small resturants/cafes across the road. However within a 20-30 minute walk along the canal is a really nice parade of shops/cafe/resturants based either side of the canal. To get to the main shopping area and cathedral is around a 20 minute drive. Parking at the hotel was minimal, however we managed to find a space every time, so I can't complain. Check in was uneventful which was a pleasant start. I write this 2 days after our visit and I'm already finding it hard to remember the room. It was very bland but clean enough. Breakfast was very tame. So much so that we skipped it on the second morning. In summary, you have what I would liken to a travel lodge/premier inn for £165 a night. Extremely unlikely to visit Milan again and equally unlikely to use this hotel if I were to end up in Milan in the future....

Stayed in the hotel for 5 nights with family and while we booked two triple rooms (Which are shown on the website as a double bed and a single bed), we were given a double bed and a camping bed which was completely unsuitable to sleep in and remained unused the entire trip. Our bathroom was also a disabled bathroom which made the shower quite uncomfortable to use and we were also not made aware of this before the stay. The wifi is very slow and most things didn't load so if you need to use the internet while there, you're better off using mobile data. We also had a late check-out which was confirmed through the booking site we used and when we went to confirm this the night before, we were told we did not have late check out as it was not in their system. We then produced our confirmation email which included the late check out but we were still told we had to check out at the normal time. To save an argument we just said forget it and did bother to refute what we were told. There were also works going on on our floor during our stay which we were not made aware of until they began. We were woken up by the noise of the workmen at 8:30am which was not nice and they were also whistling at the teenager's in our groups appearance which was vile. We also had to ask for more toilet paper by leaving a note in the room as this was not replenished. Walls are also paper thin. could hear the room next door taking a shower or people coming back to their room late at night or very early in the morning. The breakfast is nice and I would recommend you make a toasted ham and cheese in the toaster it's fab! You need to take the 47 bus to Romolo and back if you're using the metro and the tram 2 takes you to Duomo which is handy. There is also a Lidl nearby which is great for food! Navigli is a great spot for dinner and Apervito in bars is great if you're looking for a little food but a great cocktail!

Middle of nowhere. Dodgey area. Breakfast was delicious though, cannot fault that. Asked the hotel to call us a taxi to go to the cathedral. He asked for 5euro each for the two of us, for the taxi, so we assumed it was the taxi cost, but infact it wasn't, so we had to pay the taxi another 15euro too. I mean, wtf is that all about' They charge to call for taxis'

Great place, very nice and new, best value, I have gotten in Italy. BE AWARE... Parking is EXTRA ... I did find parking on the street... wasn't easy, but saved the additional 10 EUR. I will stay here again, if the opportunity arises.

Our room was ready early. The room is a good sixe, and was very clean. Our room had a litle balcony looking onto the road but it was not noisy at all. Location of hotel is ideal as not too far from city center
