IBIS STYLES MILANO CENTRO, Milan

Lima Metro station (M1 red line) is just around the corner, putting the Duomo and major attractions within a direct, quick ride. Milano Centrale railway station (with airport bus connections) is a 10-15 minute walk away. Linate Airport is a 15-minute drive (a paid shuttle can be arranged via the hotel). The neighbourhood is lively yet safe, with restaurants, bars, cafés, and shops within a 0.5 km radius, including a popular pizzeria across the street. The area is pedestrian-friendly and well-connected to San Siro Stadium via metro lines M1 and M5 (metro runs until 00:30). For those arriving by car, paid parking (on-street or private garage) is available without reservation.

The accommodation is housed in an early 20th-century building with modern interiors. Rooms are compact yet functional, with some offering a small balcony or terrace upon request. All rooms include a private bathroom (some with very compact shower cubicles), central heating, air conditioning, and a flat-screen satellite TV. Double-glazed windows help reduce street noise, but rooms on lower floors or facing the street may still be affected by traffic. Soundproofing between rooms is limited, so hall and adjacent-room noise can be heard. A mini fridge with two free bottles of water (refillable at the reception water station) is standard. Some rooms sleep up to four, often on a mezzanine level - these are more compact. The property is lift-served except for the breakfast room (located on floor -1, accessible via stairs). Note: the bathrooms in standard rooms are modest in size and some fixtures may feel dated.

Breakfast is served from approximately 07:00 to 10:00, featuring bread, pastries, cereals, fruit, yoghurt, hot drinks (made-to-order coffee), and cold cuts. The selection is considered adequate for a short stay but can be simple - guests wanting a more varied morning meal may find it limited. The 24-hour bar offers drinks, wines by the bottle at reasonable prices, and snacks throughout the day and night. No restaurant is on-site, but the surrounding streets (Corso Buenos Aires and side streets) have numerous dining options within a 0.5 km walk, including pizzerias, bistros, and cafés. A coffee machine (hot water, tea bags, instant coffee) is available near the bar with complementary supplies. Breakfast is an additional charge; it is not included by default in all room rates.

The hotel does not have a spa, swimming pool, or fitness centre. The outdoor areas include a sun terrace and a garden with outdoor furniture and a small terrace, suitable for a coffee or a quiet moment. Leisure activities available off-site (at an additional cost) include cycling and skiing (with paid ski storage). A temporary art gallery is also an option nearby.

Free Wi-Fi is available in all rooms and public, with wired internet also accessible. The 24-hour front desk offers express check-in/check-out, concierge service, lockers, and free luggage storage - ideal for early arrivals or late departures. Paid services include airport shuttle (arranged via email or phone), private transfer (from €40 to €155 depending on airport), laundry/dry cleaning/ironing, fax/photocopying, and conference facilities. Parking: a private garage next door (€25/24h for a standard car, no reservation needed) or public parking nearby (€30/day). The hotel is wheelchair-accessible, has a lift servicing all floors except the breakfast room, and provides family rooms, soundproofed rooms, and non-smoking rooms throughout. Safety features include CCTV, key access, safety deposit box, smoke alarms, and 24-hour security.
