IBIS MILANO CENTRO, Milan

The hotel sits in a central but mixed-use area between the city centre and the station. Repubblica Metro (line 3) is about 5 minutes on foot, giving direct access to the Duomo in three stops. Milan Central Station is within walking distance or one metro stop, making airport bus and train connections easy. Linate Airport is a 15-minute drive away; Malpensa Airport is 50 km. The surrounding streets have many restaurants, cafés, supermarkets and bars, and the neighbourhood remains busy and relatively safe at all hours.

Rooms are compact and basic in style but well-equipped for a city stay. Each room includes air conditioning, soundproof walls, heating, a wardrobe, direct-dial telephone, and satellite TV. Private bathrooms come with a shower, hairdryer, shower gel and soap. Triple rooms are available with two beds. Standard double rooms have a step into the shower - not a walk-in. Rooms are generally clean and comfortable, though some are described as small with limited storage. Power sockets are mostly near the door rather than by the bed; a single USB port is provided. Road-facing rooms can be noisy from tram traffic, and internal noise from doors slamming may carry. There are no balconies.

Breakfast is a continental buffet with pastries, bread, cheese, cold cuts, scrambled eggs, hot dogs, cherry tomatoes, fruit and prosecco; gluten-free options are available. Served from 06:30 to 10:00 daily. The dinner menu is limited but includes options like lasagna; a bar food menu operates in the evening. The lounge-bar area overlooks the garden and offers snacks, hot drinks, cocktails and a small pizza buffet with the cocktail offer. Several restaurants are within a short walk for those seeking more variety.

The fitness centre is available free of charge to all guests. The hotel also features a pleasant outdoor garden with seating, offering a quiet space to relax. Live music or performance events may occasionally take place on site. There is no spa, swimming pool, sauna or jacuzzi.
