Budget places to stay in Milan near Termini

Just curious, might make a difference, is this for a night or more before flying out? For a night or more on arrival before taking a train elsewhere, or just a stop on a longer trip?

In 2022, we stayed at Hotel Garda. Nothing swank, but nice and comfortable, and an easy walk (with luggage) from Milano Centrale. You can also see about using a Rick Steves discount if you book directly with the hotel.

Define budget.

colour me confused - Milano has several stations, none of them Termini. The main station in Milan is Milano Centrale.

Rome's main station is called Roma Termini.

I only find a legal firm in Milan called Termini.

Do you want around the main station in Milan, or around the main station in Rome, Termini, or is it something completely different?

Did you end up going to Milan in 2025? Your post from last year has two hotel recommendations.
