Are there any other recommendations for hotels near Malpensa airport, we will need 2 rooms for 5 people?
Darcy, thank you I think First Hotel looks good!
Sue, have you tried tripadvisor.com? I don't know when you need the rooms but I found 6 of 10 hotels available for 1 night for the first week in June.
In May, 2010 my husband and son stayed at First Hotel which they said was fine and very convenient. Note that the Malpensa airport hotels show up if you use Somma Lombardo for the town.
Here;s a link: http://www.airportmalpensa.com/airport-hotels.html I used to maintain a compilation of links to Malpensa hotels but I think this is better.
Sue - If the price is right for you, the Hotel First is terrific. I've stayed there twice.
Hope it works for you, Sue!
