Hotels near Basilica di Santo Stefano Maggiore 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.

You are basically paying for the location with this hotel. It is about a 3 minute walk to the cathedral which is amazing. The rest of the hotel if poor, the rooms are very old, it was january and yet the room was very stuffy and warm, taps were rusty, stains on the carpet. The staff were friendly!

I always prefer not to post bad reviews, but I am obliged to do so, in order for both, the hotel and the travelers, to be alarmed of the exprience of someone who stayed there. To be honest, I did check the reviews before coming and they were mostly bad, but I was on a business trip with 3 others, and it was the company who reserved the rooms for us. I will list below my experience: - The bathroom was the worst thing I have ever seen in a hotel!!! It was all rusty. From the sink, to the soap holder to the bathtub! Rustttttt everywhere. Also, the shower curtain was dirty, in the most disgusting way. Though its color was white, the edges were brown, a sign of how old and dirty it is. The bathroom door’s edges were rotten and awful. - The room was furnished in an old-fashioned way. The wood veneer was blue. BLUE! Can’t get any worse. My friends didn’t like their mattresses. Mine was good and I slept well. - Breakfast wasn’t bad, but not good either. - The 2 elevators took ages to come!!! we waited and waited and waited…. - The hotel was very clean, like extremely. Except for the rust, everything was clean! From the entrance to the hallways and the rooms. The housekeeping team might be the 2nd best thing in the hotel after the location. - Location: perfect! Right behind the Duomo and a short walk from Piazza Fontana, where you can take a cab. I gave the hotel 2 stars only: 1 for the location, and 1 for the housekeeping team. Our company won’t surely book us here next year for the Milan Design Week. The hotel’s management should read every single review here and work accordingly.

If you have a very gritty skin, you should pay attention to allergies. Breakfast is good. Unevenly boiled bath water

We were in Milan for a couple of days in August 22. This hotel is only one kilometre from the centre in Milan but it’s not in a great area. Positives. - The hotel in lovely inside and is built to a high specification. - The staff were all very friendly and could not have been more helpful throughout our stay. - the WiFi is absolutely brilliant. - You’re a 12 minute walk from Milan Cathedral Less positive - this doesn’t appear to be in a great area. It’s hard to find a bar or restaurant close by - There’s a lot of work being carried out in the roadway almost right outside so it appears to be like a building site. - It’s a busy hotel, so at checkout / checkin time it’s carnage. The foyer is pandemonium and littered with lots of cases and lots of Taxis etc piled up outside. Not a massive problem, but just one to be aware of. - Our room had a terrible view into a dirty apartment block

The location is excellent, a few minutes away from the left turn is the shopping area, and a few minutes away from the right turn is the cathedral and the Promenade II. The front door is very small, and the room is much smaller than the pictures you see. It is booked for 4 people, but there is no room for the sofa bed to be opened, so it can only accommodate 2 people. The room was reasonably clean.

Not our first time staying here. We have requested for a good view room. But, they checked us into a old wing room and without any sign of the views. After feedback to the front desk, the staff arranged another room in new wing for us.

This is a beautiful hotel and we had a great time. The hotel was nice a clean, had a nice garden, the restaurant was nice and the bar was open until late. We stayed on the 2nd floor and our room was nice and spacious, aircon was great, the mini bar was well stocked and the maid came everyday. Our view out the window was nice too, we could see the cobbled streets and the tram passing by, it kind of looked like a postcard. The restaurant was nice, staff was friendly and if you like traditional Italian food then you would enjoy it. The breakfast was also nice we went down every morning, it was the same thing everyday but that was ok because it was good food. Only thing is tho, there were no omelettes as standard, I think they could have made you one but you had to pay extra (€8) Let’s talk about the bar. The bar was amazing, not only was it open til late but the bar staff were very knowledgeable on anything drink related. There wasn’t a drink that the lovely Henry or Paulo couldn’t make you. Whilst I am on the Henry and Paulo subject, I’d like to take this opportunity to just say how amazing they are. They introduced themselves and asked our names and it was lovely service ever since. They made us feel welcome, kept the amazing drinks flowing, learnt early on what kind of drinks we liked and kept the drinks coming. The service from them two was absolutely outstanding and we would visit again just to see them. They are real assets to the hotel. Thank you. The hotel itself is not far away from the duomo. We just took the subway, it was 3 stops. Once you get to the duomo you can also do the bus tours, we did the 4 tours over 48 hours which was nice. We also did the canal cruise which wasn’t far from the hotel too. Immediately outside the hotel you can also hire bikes and scooters. You just have to download the app if you haven’t already and go. All in all the hotel was great, service was great, location was great and we love Henry.

I´m not sure how it is like to stay at Ostelzzz for several nights, but I find it a very convenient solution for me who arrived around midnight in Milan, and already had leave from Milano Centrale by noon on the next day. I had a proper sleep for one night in a capsule. It really was a hostel, but with so much better privacy. Staffs were extremely kind and helpful. They gave me a welcome drink. Online check-in in advance made my actual check-in so much easier. Had everything I needed, incl breakfast, towel too. Clean and well-organized. Breakfast was simple, but more than good enough for me. I wouln´t hesitate to choose Ostelzzz next time.

I have stayed here once - I will not make this mistake again. The location is good (a few blocks from the Duomo) and the rooms are good (with in my opinion one basic flaw, see below) and spatious. However, this are the only good things with this accomodation. The rest is downhill all the way. The costs charged at this place is ridiculous compared to similar apartment hotels nearby and in even better locations. In fact, the pricing and mindset of this hotel are bordering to total meltdown, showing this establishment has no respect and scruples towards their clients. To make a long story short: . - First of all the room alone was approx 50-100 EUR more expensive than similar hotels I use in the area. - Secondly the price for a breakfast served at the hotel but made by the next door caf'e was a stunning EUR 30. Walking the 20 metres to the cafe and having the exact same breakfast at it's origin costs EUR 9 (nine)! - Thirdly, the front desk staff seemed highly trained to do nothing and excelled in not being service minded. - Fourtlhy, do not bother to make any complaints on the hot water being not existing in the early mornings when you want to take a shower. The only answers you will get is: A. ”There is noting wrong - this is because you do not know how to turn the hot water on in the washbasin” (!) B. ”There is nothing wrong - there are plenty of hot water in the afternoons” (!) After getting these answers to my complaint I realized I am totally stupid - despite more than 40 years of business travels worldwide,I have not been able to learn how to turn hot water on in the washbasin when taking a shower and to take said showers in the afternoons only. Me being a stubborn old fa*t, tried despite the above to take a shower the next morning again. However - learning from the front staff - I turned on the ”hot” watrer in the wash basin AND in the shower at the same time and let it flow freely for 5 minutes before entering the shower. Sadly enough, this made no or little difference. The water was luke warm at best. Washing my face in the afternoon when coming back to the hotel, using hot water from the wash basin, gave me a phenomenal insight - the water was hot! So I stand corrected - SHOWER IN THE AFTERNOONS ONLY!
