HOTEL CHARLY, Milan

The hotel is located on a quiet residential street within 5 minutes' walk of Milano Centrale station, providing direct rail connections to both Malpensa and Bergamo airports. The Lima Metro stop and the Corso Buenos Aires shopping area are also a 5-minute walk away, with the Duomo reachable in 4 metro stops. Several restaurants, cafés, and a self-service laundry are within walking distance. While the immediate area is busy and can feel less secure after dark, the hotel itself is secure and gated, creating a calm oasis away from the street. A tram stop outside offers an easy car-free route into the city centre.

Rooms feature satellite TV, free Wi-Fi, air conditioning (active June to September), and heating. Some rooms have a private balcony overlooking the garden, while others overlook the street; garden-view rooms are quieter and brighter. Superior rooms with a balcony offer more living space. Parquet flooring, a minibar, and free toiletries are standard. Rooms on the ground floor near reception can be noisy due to foot traffic and breakfast service. Upper-floor rooms are quieter and accessed by stairs, though a luggage lift is available. Some rooms have limited natural light; requesting a garden-facing room is recommended. Bathrooms are modern but some have compact shower stalls.

The breakfast buffet includes bread, pastries, cakes, ham, cheese, boiled eggs, yoghurt, cereals, and fresh coffee.
