Hotel d'Este

We were very happy with our stay - walking distance to Duomo & meeting spot for our tour to see The Last Supper, comfy/clean room, great parking right next door & secure place to leave luggage before check-in and after check-out & nice breakfast to start our day!

The Hotel d'Este will appear, to many tastes, somewhat tired and dated - but for a short stay it was impeccably clean, and acceptably comfortable. The hotel is close to Bocconi University, and about 25 minutes stroll to the cathedral quarter. Staff were friendly and helpful, the wifi worked. The breakfast was included - and absolutely surpassed expectations. I would stay again if in this part of Milan.

My stay at Hotel D’Este was pretty good. The single room/bed is comically narrow by North American standards, but fine for a single person. The bathroom is large and well-appointed, except for the hair dryer which, like many Italian hotel hair dryers, makes a lot of noise and only blows warm air. My safe didn’t work. The entire hotel was impeccably clean, which I really appreciated, and the room was comfortable and quiet, musts for business travel. The breakfast was excellent - everything one could possibly want to eat. The breakfast server, Max, seems to have made it his life’s mission to ensure that everyone has the most delicious caffeinated beverage in front of them at all times. He was super friendly and made my breakfast experience over the top. Grazie mille Max! The main downside for me was the location, as it meant a ten-minute walk from the metro station alone in the dark each night. I would have preferred to be closer to a metro station. There is a tram that runs on the street in front of the hotel, but it rarely took me to where I needed to go. For this reason I would probably choose a hotel closer to the Duomo or Centrale, but Hotel D’Este is a solid hotel choice if the area works for you.
