Velvet Grey Boutique Hotel

We stayed three nights in a street-facing room on the fourth floor. Building has a lift. Our room had a lovely small terrace with views over the Via Monte Napoleone. The room was clean, bed pretty good and amenities were fine. Enough space for all our luggage. Reception was quick and helpful, also responsive over email. The hotel is located on two floors in what is likely an 18th century building, which means the shape of the rooms and hallways is a bit quirky, and some bits need a touch-up. No breakfast and the walls are indeed a bit thin. Street below is lively, at least until around 9pm. Pros however far outweigh the cons and no doubt the strongest selling points are the location and the value for money (in March at least). Short walk to the Duomo, Galleria, and Milan’s shopping districts. The metro is closeby as is tram line 1 (10 minutes to Da Vinci’s Last Supper). Would stay here again.

The hotel is located in between the designer shops, which is fantastic for shopping. It’s not too far from the metro system and walking distance to the duomo. The reception staff are very friendly and helpful. There is no breakfast option in the hotel. There is free Wifi. Our room was not very clean and there were dust bunnies that moved across the bathroom floor. Both showers leaked and one had very poor drainage and would be very close to overflowing in ＜ 5 minutes. One of our beds was an inflatable mattress on the floor. I have to admit that I expected better for about 450 euros/night.

Massively overpriced even for the location. £367 per night in mid September. Small room. Bathroom poor, shower cubicle leaked all over the bathroom floor and shower head needed replacing. No hotel facilities or breakfast provision. They are even tight with the nespresso capsules in the room. One per person per day. No free water, you had to pay €1.50 a bottle. They could do it so much better. Will not be returning.

This was a cute 2-level room in the heart of the Fashion District. It even had two bathrooms and a private little outdoor terrace. However, we booked this hotel because it stated it was good for 4 adults. It was not! It had a large bed for two on the lower level and stairs that led to a small bed on top which was only good for 1 person. When I brought this to the attention of the receptionist, she brought up an inflatable mattress. The first night, the mattress deflated so my daughter basically slept on the hard floor. A different air mattress was brought up the next day but the air mattress was definitely what we expected in a "Quadruple" room.

Hard to find. Quite a few steps before elevator. Not a friendly welcome. Due to a storm the power went out during the night. It didn’t return before I left and so neither did hot water, WiFi or AC. There was nobody at reception at all. This is not a hotel but rather a few of the top floors of an old building made into rooms. Designer style but overpriced IMO

Superb location for those interested in exploring the bustling streets of Milan.

Best location in Milan

We got the terrace suite based on the pictures and several reviews. I must say, the photographer was very talented and must have had an amazing lens. The photos made it look spacious and nicely lit. The actual room was more like a college dorm room than a “suite”. Having said that, it was clean and safe. But the “suite” was definitely what we expected.
