Me Milan Il Duca

"We had a wonderful stay. Luca at check in was wonderful. He answered all of my questions and had great suggestions on where to eat and what to do during our stay. Due to booking through Amex, we were upgraded to a junior suite which was spacious and relaxing. Beautiful bathroom full of amenities. Great minibar selections. Even though the hotel is on bust crossroad and our room was facing the front, it was very quiet. We slept very well. Breakfast on the rooftop was delicious and fun. Loved that it was an extensive buffet but you could also order from the menu. Highly recommend the waffles and the hot chocolate. It is a bit of a walk to the Duomo but the hotel had a great courtesy car that will drop you off and pick you up at La Scala during certain hours. The metro stop is also right in front of the hotel. The train station is also just a 10 minute walk. Check out was seamless. We left for Rome and halfway there I remembered I forgot our psssports in the room safe! I called the hotel and they were so kind and helpful. They had a great protocol to insure you got your property back safely. We were re-united with our passports. Highly recommend ME Milan Il Duca!"

"I’ve stayed in hundreds of hotels (see my other reviews), so this comes from experience. This hotel is one of the worst experiences for a “five star” establishment. I was booked for two consecutive stays, which I confirmed with the front desk during check in. At the end of the first stay, I had several phones calls and then someone knocking loudly and urgently, shouting about my check out. Housekeeping repeatedly knocking on the door one morning despite having the do-not-disturb sign out front. The front desk required full payment on check in. Moreover, the rooms are dimly lit and poorly designed. They also show more age than they should. Overall it’s an overpriced and subpar hotel - please do not stay here. Milan is full of five star hotels, including two on the same square as this one, Principe de Savoia and Westin."

"We stayed at this hotel in Milan for Barbara's 45th birthday and we had a really great time. From our arrival, the staff members were very welcoming, kind, and professional. We had chosen the Romantic Weekend option and they were truly great at making the stay special: they had the room ready for us very early, just as we had asked, and Barbara really appreciated the surprise and all the attention they showed us. The hotel is very beautiful, well-kept, and in a very convenient location, about a kilometer from the Central Station. The room was beautiful, clean, tidy, and the service was always efficient. A special mention definitely goes to the Radio Rooftop Bar: one of the most beautiful things about the hotel. The view towards Milano Porta Nuova is truly enchanting, especially from the sofas on the outdoor balcony. Next time we will definitely ask to sit there, because the view is definitely better compared to the seats further inside. In conclusion, it was truly a beautiful weekend and we felt pampered from beginning to end. Hotel passed with flying colors and definitely a place where I would return very gladly."
