Hotel Bristol

I chose this hotel because I was only staying one night in Milan and needed to catch an early train the next morning. The facilities are quite old, much like most apartments in central Milan, and my window overlooked the train station. There were some good points though: two large bottles of mineral water, which showed thoughtfulness, and surprisingly, disposable toothbrushes. The cleanliness was also well-maintained, and the breakfast was ample, which was a plus.

Very close to the train station and easy to find. The front desk staff were friendly, and the room was clean and comfortable. I would choose this hotel again for my next stay.

I initially hesitated to book because of reviews mentioning it was old, but it turned out to be okay. It definitely has an older decor, and the wooden window shutters need to be manually pulled up. The air conditioning was broken, and I had to specifically ask for a fan before they brought one. Sleeping with the window open was a bit noisy due to the street, but thankfully the neighbors weren't loud. The toiletries provided were tiny, but when I asked the front desk, they brought me plenty. They provided two bottles of sparkling water in the fridge, though I would have preferred regular water. It's a very convenient 5-minute walk from the train station.
