We had a request sent with the reservation, and we were very happy to see that our request was respected and made. The room was spacious, clean,quiet,free speed wi-fi.My husband had some problems with the bed-slowly slowly older matrasses have to be changed- and after trying other matrasses in other rooms, they were very kind and with no complaint at all, to change our room.Breakfast was very good and rich.i don't understand about "too sweety breakfast",we read in other comments. Salt breakfast, with many propositions was reach as well, like mozzarela,cherry tomatoes,prosciuto,spek,sausages,three differrent kind of cheese,bacon,focaccia,pizza,omelette,boiled eggs,different kinds of bread and fresh squizzed orange juice(!)
About the area, we had no problems. Milano is a big city and if you don't stay in the "touristic" areas,doesn't mean that all the other areas are dangerous or not beautiful.In the area around the hotel,there weren't many shops and so later in the night there weren't many people around,because there were just houses.This hotel had a very good price for its services, comparing with other hotels very close to the center of the city,that are much more expensive with very low quality,juste because they are closer in the center.
