Great hotel in a great location. Easy to walk to/from Milan Central Station as well as the centre of Milan and its tourist attractions. Hotel was very clean and staff helpful and friendly. Breakfast was lovely and the drinks at the hotel bar were very reasonable. Would definitely stay again.

Hotel Dei Cavalieri Milano Duomo
Location location location! Everything was walkable. We were able to get the room early which was amazing after our long flight and feeling the jet lag. The hotel and room was super nice, our bathroom was kind of tiny. The breakfast was a big highlight.

The room was amazing, lots of space, very comfortable bed, the bathroom was huge but the shower was a little uncomfortable, but the staff told me that the air conditioning was working and it wasn’t and those two days were really hot in Milan! 😕
