Hotel Brenta Milano

The hotel staff is nice and helpful but the building is not too new.

I had a pleasant stay at Hotel Brent Milano in Italy. The staff was friendly, and the cleanliness was commendable. Securing a parking spot was hassle-free and reasonably priced at 10€ per day. The hotel's proximity to the Metro station, just a short ride away from Milan's Duomo, was a major plus. While the neighborhood wasn't the finest, having a nearby supermarket was convenient. Overall, a comfortable stay with convenient transportation options.

I would not recommend a stay at this hotel. The parking was conveniently on-site and only $10 and the breakfast included was a nice touch, but that’s about all positive I can say. Oh, also, the staff was pleasant. However, the hotel has a policy of leaving the key with the front desk before leaving that I’ve never encountered before, and this is coming from a fairly well-traveled person (I worked for an airline). We didn’t run into issues because the front desk was always staffed but it is a bizarre policy, felt like we were in a dorm room and our come and goes were monitored. The room smelled moldy and there was a large patch of mold in a ceiling corner of the room. Mind you, after a long journey we were still very happy to finally have a room and bathroom to crash in, regardless of the smell, the weird policy and the mold. But that lasted until 230am when we were woken up my our neighbor’s conversations and subsequent hour long moaning action. I could not blame our neighbors, it’s not like they were loud, the walls were simply way too thin. Another, disappointment, if you will, were the towels. Although I appreciated that covered in plastic showed some sort of sanitation, we were provided with a hand towel, another slightly larger hand towel and a third which looked like a sheet? Not sure, but it was larger than a regular towel and very thin. Not practical. I wish I would’ve taken pictures! I think I was in denial and that was easier than looking for a new place to stay.
