This was our second say at the hotel and just as lovely as our first. The staff is on point and our suite was the perfect place to relax during our time in Milan.

ibis Milano Centro
Spacious lobby and bar, rooms were very small. Our initial room had a foul, sewer-like odor. We asked to be switched and they accommodated our request which was really nice. We did not have the breakfast but enjoyed a spritz in their outdoor area. Convenient to Milano Centrale.
