30 La Freina

It was very pleasant to stay at the Hotel delle Fiere because of the attention of the staff, especially the owner, who is a very formal and attentive person. I felt very comfortable and was able to enjoy the sunsets. Another facility is that it is close to the train station and I could get to Milan very easily.

The hotel is nice. Rooms are clean and functional, and the bed is comfortable. Hotel staff are courteous and friendly and we found breakfast to be quite good. What we did not like was the location. If you go to Milan as a tourist don't stay here; it's far from the city and you will spend time and money getting there and back. In speaking with the hotel staff, we are not the first ones to book Litta Palace thinking it's a 6-minute drive to the city center as Expedia indicates, when actually their reference is to a suburban shopping center called 'IL Centro' and we incorrectly interpreted that to mean Milan's city center. To get to the Duomo you have to get a ride from the hotel van (at 15 Euro) to take you to the nearest subway station at Rho Fieramilano (10-15 min ride), then take a subway on the red line to Duomo which is 15(!) stations away. Again, this hotel is nice but not for Milan tourists. Expedia needs to do a better job of making this more clear.

My hotel accommodation was fantastic! The staff (reception) were all accommodating, courteous, and displayed professional work ethics. The food was fantastic as they offered variety and good options for breakfast!!!
