Hello
Going to be stopping in Milan for one night between Orvieto and Lausanne. Looking for hotel relatively close to the train station for 3 (2 adults, 1 teen). Doesn't have to have special amenities, just clean, safe and location conducive for getting back and forth to the train.
Thanks!
I have had great success with Hotel Garda. Very short walk from Milano Centrale. I use it when ever I fly into and out of Milan. Others here have use Hotel Berna which is just across the street.
Love the Berna!
Those are my favorites as well - Hotel Berna (not Bernina) and Hotel Garda.
I have stayed at both the Hotel Berna and the Garda - both very close to the central train station.
I would recommend either one. I found the Garda to be a little bit cheaper than the Berna, but either one is perfect for your needs.
If we need to drop off a rental car at the airport in the morning, does it make sense to stay at either of these places. Can we bring a car there (and keep it overnight)? Or should we drop it off the night before and stay somewhere near the airport?
Thanks to everyone for the quick and helpful replies -- I have booked a triple at the Hotel Garda
Grazie Mille and Happy Travels!
Christine,
My suggestion was also going to be Hotel Garda, and it's nice to hear you've now booked a room there. I stayed there in early October and timed the walk to Milano Centrale at about five minutes (once you know the way, of course). I found the room to be very modern and clean, with a large bathroom (which is not the case with many of the other hotels I use in Italy). I left for the station early, so didn't get a chance to try the breakfast. The only minor annoyance was the fact that they charge for Wi-Fi, but other than that, I was pleased with my stay there.
