Ibis Styles Milano Est Settala

The hotel is located outside of Milan. It fitted well for us as a stop on the travel back home. Positive: the pool (without service), the large park with a playground for children, the overall cleanliness, general appearance, locked parking space. The hotel changed newly to the Ibis Styles chain and we had e.g. no information leaflet in the room. The old hotel signs are still to remove. Some construction work was going on outside. Everything looked a bit unprepared. The once available restaurant is now closed. We chose that hotel among others for its presumable "free charging" offering for EV. Unfortunately, this is no longer the case with the Ibis Style chain. They still have four EV-slots for charging (AC) but claim around 1 Euro per kWh which seems a prohibitive price for AC-charging in Italy as even DC-charging is available for 30-40ct/kWh (see market giants ENEL X Way oder BeCharge with their attractive packages). This is like paying 4-5 Euro per liter of Diesel in comparison - you could just feel robbed. We decided to charge at a Be Charge HPC charger at the "near" (7km) Coop supermarket. There are more possibilities e.g. around Linate Airport. But of course it's the best to charge along the highway before your arrival - once you know about that unreasonable pricing (we didn't).

This is a great hotel. Who knew

This was the worst experience we have had in our 6 week holiday. Check in and front desk was good and they managed to persuade the restaurant manager to fit us in for dinner which was a pretty ordinary experience. The room was literally like a sauna so we turned on the aircon before going to dinner. It made no difference. Window was locked so we could not even cool the room that way. The included breakfast we paid for was not available as we had an early flight. Neither was the airport shuttle which didn’t start till 9am. If you have an earlier flight than 11.30 you need to take a taxi. When I reported the aircon not working the manager informed me that it only works in winter. I’m sure for the money we paid we could have done a lot better than this hotel.
