HOTEL IDEALE, Milan

Situated in the quiet university quarter of Città Studi, the hotel is about 2 km from Porta Venezia metro and a 15-minute walk from the city centre. The M4 metro at Dateo station is within 250 m and offers a direct connection to Linate Airport (5 stops) and central hubs like San Babila and Duomo (2 stops). Bus and tram stops are right outside the hotel, with route 92 providing a direct 8-10 minute ride to Milano Centrale. The area has several restaurants and a supermarket within walking distance, making it convenient for self-catering.

All rooms include air conditioning, heating, a minibar, a safe, a telephone, a flat-screen TV, and a fully private bathroom with a shower. Some rooms have been recently renovated with modern bathrooms, while others feel older and more basic. Rooms can vary significantly in size: some are spacious, but a number of rooms are compact with limited luggage space. Many rooms look onto a garden courtyard, providing a quieter atmosphere; however, rooms facing the street may experience traffic noise. The hotel offers triple rooms with a double bed and a single bed, suitable for families. No rooms have a balcony or kitchenette. Daily housekeeping is provided free of charge.

The hotel offers a paid breakfast (€11 per person) from 07:00 to 10:00, featuring a simple continental buffet with bread, croissants, cold cuts, cheese, eggs, yoghurt, fruit, fruit juices, and hot drinks like coffee and tea. The breakfast selection is considered adequate and filling but not extensive; it suits a standard continental start to the day. Breakfast can be enjoyed indoors or in the garden courtyard when weather permits. The hotel has a bar, snack bar, and coffee house on site, with drinks and snacks available in the garden. For fuller meals, several restaurants are within a 5-minute walk, including Italian, burger, and wine bar options.

Guests can unwind in the hotel's garden courtyard with tables and chairs, where drinks and snacks from the bar are served. The on-site shared lounge and TV room offer a casual indoor space. There are no wellness or sports facilities such as a swimming pool, spa, sauna, fitness centre, or games room. For recreation, the surrounding university district provides parks and lively streets with cafés and restaurants within a short walk.
