Manin

"Hotel Manin is very much a business type hotel. No real personality to it. Upon arriving, we asked the front desk where to go for lunch and all her recommended was the hotel restaurant(which was not open yet). That was it. The same front desk man was incredibly unhelpful when it came to making or canceling a reservation. When asked, he stated that the restaurant was closed. Did not offer to call when they were open - unlike the very accommodating coworker. Angela, I believe. We ate dinner at the restaurant our first night. While the food was good, the wine selection was terrible - maybe 3-4 wines total. The living wall had mosquitoes in it, there was 1 waitress was was struggling and the atmosphere was atrocious. The hotel was very clean and our room was nice. It's also located within walking distance to the Duomo."

"Hidden treasure in the heart of Milan. I came upon Hotel Manin in some Milan travel guide, since I come here often and solo I needed something centrally located but not in a busy street. The location is stellar, a short walk from the fashion center, but in front of a beautiful park. To begin with it has an ample lobby and the reception is incredibly welcoming and helpful. It’s the second time I’m here and it’s a live review, since I’m still here and having breakfast, which may I say it’s one of the most generous I’ve ever enjoyed. The array of offerings is vast. By the way, perfectly done scrambled eggs, I think I’m getting up for more. Besides that I’m overlooking a stunning garden with huge trees which weather permit guests can enjoy. I got the smallest bedroom they offer, but it has everything I need, including a lovely bathtub, and a comfortable bed. I’m happy to say I’ve found my home in Milan. Grazie Manin!"

"Just a couple of minor points stopped this excellent hotel from getting five stars. Its in a great position for an easy walk to the city tourist spots such as the cathedral and there's trams and metro around 5 minutes walk. A modern hotel, well equipped and we found it very clean and welcoming with friendly staff. The minor points we thought could be improved were only basic tea and coffee facilities at breakfast (you had to pay extra for a 'proper' coffee for instance) and a shutter in the bedroom that made access to our balcony very difficult. Only BBC news in English on the TV is not acceptable these days! Having said that we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend Hotel Manin."
