Milan Hotels with Balcony

"This hotel in Milan was very satisfying for our two-night stay. It's only about a 500-meter walk from the central train station. The hotel room was genuinely spacious!!!! This really suited me, as I travel with luggage and need comfortable space. The overall decor is very new, and it's quiet. There are many supermarkets downstairs nearby, and also a famous gelato shop. The only thing I wasn't happy about was the huge bathroom space, yet there were no shelves in the shower? There was nowhere to put toiletries, and the sink area was quite small. It really was a waste of such a spacious bathroom. Upon arrival, we had to pay an additional €20 per night for the city tax; this tax in Italy is quite high."

"The hotel room looked very new and clean, and the front desk staff were friendly. Although the breakfast area was small, the food was good. The location is convenient, right across from the train station. The only downside was the lack of complimentary bottled water, and the tap water quality was concerning; I wouldn't even dare to drink it after boiling. Luckily, I had some mineral water left from the plane, otherwise I would have had to buy the hotel's overpriced water."

"Hotel location: The Milan HD8 Hotel is located directly opposite Milan Central Station, just across the road. It's also conveniently located for the airport express train, even more so than the regular train, as it's just a short walk across the road. Room space: Very small. Once a suitcase is laid flat, there's no room to walk around. Facilities and hygiene: The bathroom has a separate wet and dry area, and the air conditioning is very strong. It has a 6-foot double bed, but there were no toothbrushes, conditioner, slippers, or tissues. [Unexpected Safety Incident] On the second night of my stay, the power tripped twice in quick succession. When I reported the first outage, the male front desk staff member was surprisingly able to accurately state my room number. He contacted an engineer to inspect, and the conclusion was that it wasn't due to a problem in the room itself, but rather the main circuit breaker on the first floor where my room was located. After it was reset, the power was restored. However, less than half an hour later, the power tripped a second time. This time, the male front desk staff member didn't call an engineer; he came upstairs himself and attempted to close me in the room. I managed to hold the door open in time, and clearly informed him and pointed out the switch location inside the room, which prevented an unsafe situation! The male front desk staff member then went to the main circuit breaker, and the power in the room was restored in just 2-3 seconds (presumably by flipping the breaker). This male front desk staff member offered no comfort or apology, but instead asked, “Are you scared?” Because the power tripped twice on the same night, making it impossible to stay safely, I contacted Ctrip customer service representative L19742 around 3-4 AM China time. Ctrip handled the situation appropriately for me, and there were no further power outages after that. [In summary, even with a good hotel location, I do not recommend single travelers stay here.]"
