HOTEL MENNINI, Milan

The hotel is only 6 minutes on foot from Milano Centrale station, giving direct rail access across the city and Malpensa/Bergamo/Linate airport connections. Metro and tram links are excellent: the Duomo is 4 metro stops away (or a 20-30-minute walk). For city-centre trips, Tram 1 from around the corner takes you straight to the heart of Milan. The surrounding street is lined with restaurants, cafés and a supermarket, and the area is generally quiet despite being so close to the station. Parking is not available on site, but a discounted public garage (25 EUR/day) is just 100 metres away.

All rooms include a private bathroom with hairdryer and toiletries (some with bathtub rather than shower). Bed preference should be specified at booking - twin or double - as the room type is allocated upon check-in. Some rooms feature a balcony, which can be requested. The hotel uses physical keys instead of electronic key cards. Room size varies, with some rooms described as spacious and bright, while others feel more compact. Road-facing rooms may be noisier at night; higher floors tend to be quieter. Reception is on the first floor, and guests must climb a flight of stairs from street level to reach the lift. Daily housekeeping is included and generally keeps the rooms clean.

Breakfast is a continental/Italian/vegetarian/vegan buffet, featuring bread, pastries, yogurt, fruit, cheese, and cold cuts, plus made-to-order coffee (espresso, cappuccino, etc.) from the breakfast staff. It is served until 10:30 and can be brought to the room on request. The fee is 12 EUR per person. The hotel has no restaurant for lunch or dinner, but the surrounding street has numerous Italian and international restaurants within a 2-minute walk. A snack bar at the hotel offers drinks and light bites, and wine/champagne are available for an additional charge.

The hotel provides a free fitness area for guests who want to keep up with their workout routine. There is no spa, swimming pool, sauna, or other dedicated leisure facilities. The area is suitable for walking and jogging, and the central location makes it easy to explore Milan's sights on foot.
