HOTEL SAN FRANCISCO, Milan

The hotel sits on a calm street, just 300 m from Loreto Metro (M1) and 500 m from Piola Metro (M2). From Loreto, reach Duomo, Via Montenapoleone, and San Siro Stadium in under 20 minutes; from Piola, the line connects directly to Fiera Milano and Forum di Assago. Milano Centrale railway station is a 20-minute walk or a short bus ride (bus 81). Corso Buenos Aires, Milan's main shopping street, is 10 minutes on foot. For airport connections, take the Malpensa Express train to Centrale then bus 81, or a taxi from Centrale costs around €15. Linate airport is about 40 minutes by shuttle bus; Malpensa about one hour. The neighbourhood is quiet and safe, with several restaurants and a supermarket within a short walk.

All rooms feature a flat-screen TV, safety deposit box, hairdryer, and free toiletries. Some rooms offer a refrigerator and a balcony with garden or street views - balcony availability is not guaranteed and assigned on arrival. The single economy room is notably small and located on the ground floor; the standard single is larger. Double rooms are available with either a walk-in shower or standard shower. Family rooms come in various sizes. Daily housekeeping ensures fresh towels and bed linen. While the overall style is contemporary, some rooms show signs of wear; air conditioning is individual but may be noisy in certain units. For a quieter stay, request a room away from the street.

The breakfast buffet includes fresh fruit, vegetables, cheeses, cold cuts, hot dishes (bacon, eggs, pancakes), pastries, yoghurt, and freshly brewed coffee. On fine days, breakfast can be enjoyed in the private garden. For those with dietary restrictions, gluten-free and dairy-free alternatives are provided if requested in advance. The hotel has no restaurant or dinner service, but a bar serves drinks and snacks until late. Many restaurants are within a 5-minute walk, offering Italian, Japanese, and other cuisines. Breakfast can also be served in-room on request.

The hotel's private garden is the main leisure feature, equipped with outdoor furniture and seating. It is used for breakfast in good weather and as a lounge area during the day. There is no swimming pool, spa, gym, or fitness centre. For sports and entertainment, the metro provides quick access to San Siro Stadium and the Forum di Assago concert venue.
