HOTEL ASPROMONTE, Milan

The hotel sits on Piazza Aspromonte, a quiet, tree-lined square opposite a park. Loreto Metro Station (M1/M2 lines) is a short walk away, offering direct service to Milan Cathedral (Duomo), the central train station, and Linate Airport. The area is safe and quiet at night. Several restaurants, cafés, pizzerias, and gelaterias are within a 5-minute walk. The hotel is located within Milan's Area B restricted traffic zone, which may affect older diesel vehicles.

Accommodation ranges from single to triple rooms, all with private bathrooms (shower, hairdryer, free toiletries), heating, air conditioning, soundproofing, and dimmer-controlled lighting. Rooms are simple and functional rather than modern. Some rooms offer garden views or a balcony. Balcony rooms are available. Room size is compact, especially in standard categories. A family room is available but cannot accommodate extra beds. Rooms are cleaned daily. Tea and coffee making facilities are available on request. No elevator: the building is a 2-story Art Nouveau property with staff luggage assistance.

Breakfast is a continental buffet with bread, pastries, cereals, cold cuts, cheese, yogurt, fresh fruit, coffee, and juice. It is served in a charming garden courtyard or indoor lounge. The hotel has a bar open until midnight offering wine, champagne (for a charge), and snacks. No restaurant is on site, but several good pizzerias and Italian restaurants are within a 3-minute walk. A welcome drink is provided.

The hotel does not have a swimming pool, spa, or fitness centre. Guests can relax in the shared garden courtyard or the TV lounge with an LCD TV.
