Manzoni Metro station is also nearby, and Termini Station is about 10 minutes on foot. The tram stop right outside provides easy access to the city centre. Taxis are readily available. Note: rooms on the street side can be noisy due to trams and traffic; light sleepers should request a quieter room.
