The hotel is in a very convenient and central location, with the Castello Sforzesco just nearby, yet it’s tucked away on an incredibly quiet and peaceful backstreet, which is especially nice given how central it is. The staff were very friendly and helpful throughout my stay. Everything from check-in to check-out went smoothly, and I was pleasantly surprised to receive a complimentary room upgrade.
