Hotel Molise 2 — Hotel in Milan

Overall: Good. And the clerk who was present at both our check-in and check-out was the most helpful chap imaginable. That may vary, of course -- there were at least 4 other clerks who were present at different times.||Check-in: Standard hotel check-in||Language: Italian. Our clerk had a decent grasp of English too. I don't know if the other clerks do too.||Space/decor: Surprisingly spacious. We had asked for a double, but were given a triple which meant we had an extra bed where we could spread out stuff. ||Noise: We were in the back, but there was still way too much street noise early in the morning. I recommend keeping the windows closed and the ventilation on. It was fine like that. And we didn't hear anything from the hall.||Comfort: The bed was fine although it was 2 singles pushed together, not a double.||Cleanliness: excellent||Heat/ac: Both available.||Internet/TV: WiFi costs extra (not too unreasonable). We found the signal very weak in our room: sometimes we could receive, sometimes not. There was a TV. The room did not have nearly enough electrical outlets for the modern gadget owner.||Breakfast: 7 euros per person -- too much I thought so we didn't try it||Parking: unknown. We used public transport. ||Distance to attractions: You'll need the tram to get downtown. I recommend #16 -- we got off at the Crocette Metro station and took the Metro from there. That was much faster than the #12 all the way in. If you load your GPS with the public transport routes, you'll have a really easy time. If you're a paper person, you may want to trace the tram routes on to your map. I found routes 2 & 3 (Duomo - Navigli/canal district) and 12,16 & 27 (Duomo - Hotel) useful. Brera is also a super area, but it is easy to walk there from the Duomo so you don't really need the...

Booked for two nights, definitely should have done more research on the hotel. No air conditioning, rooms are not sound proofed, could hear alarms/phone calls from other guests in different rooms, as well as the housekeepers tidying rooms. Noticed the towels were not folded nicely, as if they were thrown on the rack, and found a hair in the toilet when we first checked in. The location is not ideal, it’s loud, not too close to the city, and did not feel safe walking around. My friend and I came back to the hotel after a night in the city around 12:45am, rang the bell to get inside the hotel and had no answer. There was a woman yelling at us from across the street as we were waiting for a receptionist to let us inside. After approximately 5 minutes of calling the hotel and ringing the doorbell, a man came running to the reception desk to let us inside. Would rather spend the extra money on a nicer hotel if I were to visit...

Overall this is an ok hotel. My room was spotlessly clean and had a desk, TV, minibar, safe, phone and modern bathroom. The furnishings are outdated but overall a comfy stay and therefore good value for Milan.||||The reception staff were very friendly and helpful.||||The area is fine, there's a supermarket and couple of cafes around.||||Molise 2 Hotel is located about 5-10 minutes from Porta Vittoria Station - outside of the metro lines, you will therefore need to rely on trams or buses mainly to get into the city centre and you can always take the train (not metro). A tram takes about 20-25 mins to get to Centrale and from there you can take the metro to Duomo etc.||||Overall good hotel - would be better if it was a bit closer to the centre but then if it was it would be...
