Amico Hotel

"This is the worst managed b&b i ever been. The owner is not getting calls, even rigth after he said "call me whenever you need me". Caos and dust everywhere around the rooms. Just tooday there was a dirty shirt on the stairs to my room. Even we arrived everyday in perfect time for breakfast, no one was there so we start to go in the right next bar. Last night the door console broke up and left us outside. We tried to contact the owner but no response whatsoever. Fortunately there was a guest who was sleeping in the ground floor rooms and woke up. Rooms are nice but really disappointed by the owner."

"I stayed here during my business trip to visit the EICMA show at the RHO Fiera Milano. It is just one stop from the Fiera on the S Line train which costs €2.20 per trip. It is also very handy for visiting the centre of Milan which takes less than 20 mins by train. La Corte del 26 is in a quiet area and apart from the odd rumble when a train passes there isn’t much noise. It is electronically gated so very safe and secure (although I never felt any unease outside). Due to its quiet location there aren’t many restaurants nearby apart from a pizza joint across the road. Check in was easy - helped by the message sent beforehand detailing the procedure. The rooms are clean and comfortable but sparse. Simone was very friendly and welcoming. Breakfast was good and the coffee excellent. Homemade cake and jam were offered. I had a very pleasant stay and would definitely return. "

"The place is run by Simone, who is eager to please and help his guests. There are however details that need to be told. First, the B&B is next to the Certosa train station, so if you have problems sleeping because of the ambient noise, give this one a berth. I, for my part, booked in early January, and with cold to freezing temperatures, the room stayed very cold, even tough I had been provided a second electrical heater to compensate the old and tired one set in the room. The breakfast room is tiny and breakies are made by the staff on demand, so if like me your italian is limited, you might fall short of a good hearty breakfast. The fact that the staff is not in live in position also was a problem as I could not get the breakfast before 09.00AM. On the very positive side, the bathroom was huge and the water boiling hot. The Certosa station next to the building means you're 2 minutes away from your train that rides stright into town. It also is a very small pension, so you're unlikely to be disturbed by the other guests. Again, the friendliness of the staff is a real asset. It might not be the best place in Milan, but at the prices they practice, La Corte del '26 is a steal"
