3-Star Hotels in Lombardy, Italy

Clean, careful and friendly hotel. Advised for nights during long travel or for work because we are near the motorway. You need to have a means of visiting Mantova, which is a few km away.

Basic hotel with amazing staff, clean and spacious rooms. I was lucky enough to grab a corner room so I had a large view over Milan. Metro stop is just 3 mins walk away from the hotel (M1 Red line). Massive supermarket (COOP) across the road so you can buy plenty of food and drinks. Hotel also has its own small snack shop in reception and offers a buffet style breakfast. Rooms have one charging outlet 2 USB outlet (unfortunately not working in my room) Large bathroom Large TV

Service from the staff on arrival and during stay was very good and friendly, spoke good english. Breakfast options were good and had much variety. Only minor issue was the location and amount of plug locations within the room, as one was in bathroom, and other behind TV in our specific room. Noise from outside the room can be loud due to trains and other rooms along the corridor.

Nice hotel service and nice location. Near the train and the bus station. They call it the Eternal City. A phrase that feels almost trite until you stand alone, utterly dwarfed, beneath the Pantheon’s impossible dome, or trace your fingers over travertine worn smooth by two thousand years of passing hands. Rome isn’t just eternal; it’s immediate, visceral, a theatre of existence where the past isn’t preserved behind glass, but bleeds passionately into the vibrant, chaotic present. And experiencing it solo? That’s not loneliness; it’s liberation. It’s a conversation, intimate and profound, between your soul and the city’s timeless spirit. My dialogue began at dawn, chasing the first honeyed light spilling across the Piazza Navona. Alone, you move differently. Unburdened by consensus or compromise, I followed whims: detouring down a cobbled *vicolo* heavy with the scent of baking cornetti, drawn by the sudden, breathtaking reveal of the Trevi Fountain, still relatively quiet. Tossing my coin wasn’t just a tourist ritual; it was a whispered promise to the city, a silent pact sealed in the cool morning air and the fountain’s roaring majesty. Solitude amplifies these moments – the crisp *click* of your heels on ancient stone, the unfiltered awe as Bernini’s marble figures seem to surge from the water, frozen in divine drama. You hear the city’s own heartbeat, the murmur of awakening life, the distant clang of a baker’s shutter, the splash echoing in the vast basin. Wandering towards the Roman Forum, the sheer weight of history becomes palpable, almost a physical pressure. Alone, you can truly stop. You can perch on a sun-warmed block of tufa, gaze at the skeletal arches of the Basilica of Maxentius reaching defiantly towards a piercing blue sky, and let your imagination run riot. No commentary needed, no shared speculation required. Here, amid the ghosts of senators and centurions, the silence isn’t empty; it’s resonant. You feel the centuries compress. A stray cat sunning itself on Julius Caesar’s altar becomes a perfect, poignant metaphor for time’s relentless, indifferent march. The Colosseum looms nearby, its brutal grandeur undeniable. Observing it solo, you feel its dual nature more acutely – the awe-inspiring engineering marvel and the chilling echo of spectated suffering. It prompts introspection, a quiet contemplation on humanity’s enduring contradictions, impossible amidst a crowd’s chatter. Then, the Pantheon. Stepping inside is like walking into the mind of God, conceived by mortals. The sheer scale, the perfection of the dome – that oculus open to the heavens – is humbling beyond words. A shaft of sunlight pierces the dusty interior, illuminating motes dancing like celestial dust. Sitting alone on a bench, head tilted back, the immensity washes over you. The whispers of fellow visitors fade into a reverent hush. You feel infinitesimally small yet profoundly connected to the generations who stood precisely here, awestruck, for millennia. Solitude allows this space for pure, unadulterated wonder. It’s not just seeing; it’s *feeling* the architectural genius, the spiritual ambition made stone. But Rome isn’t just monumental stones; it’s vibrant, messy, delicious life. Crossing the Tiber into Trastevere, the atmosphere shifts. Narrow streets twist like tangled yarn, laundry flutters like colourful flags between ochre buildings, and the air thickens with the garlicky perfume of *cacio e pepe* and frying *carciofi*. Solo travel makes you porous. You notice the old men arguing passionately over espresso at a tiny bar, the clatter of plates from a hidden trattoria kitchen, the effortless elegance of a Roman woman navigating the cobbles in impossible heels. You slip into a *salumeria*, point at mysterious cheeses and glistening olives, and assemble a picnic feast. Finding a quiet step on Piazza Santa Maria in Trastevere, watching life swirl around the ancient basilica as you savour pecorino sharp enough to make your eyes wa

This is a great value accommodation. It takes 10 minutes by bus from the train station. The problem is that there is only one bus per hour. Cremona is not big, so you can walk to the Violin Museum in 20 minutes.

EXTREMELY NOISY HOTEL!!!!!! TRAVELER BEWARE. The walls here are like a paper sheet. Literally I heard the vibrate of a cellphone multiple times while staying in this room. Even people talking at a reasonable volume sound like they're standing at the end of your bed and speaking. The service and staff are nice, but the noisy rooms should be disqualifying for any kind of traveler.

My first time in Milano and staying at this accommodation for the first time as well (it functions as student accommodation during the semester). Was here for my birthday and I was unfortunately unwell when I arrived. I think all the travelling had finally got to me by this point in my trip! I was really grateful that I was able to check in early as I had been travelling non-stop since 8pm the night before from Lyon. I think overall a good first impression (staff were nice) and my only gripe was the lack of air conditioning in my loft room. The corridor was 20 degrees cooler than in my room and I was even tempted to sleep in the hallway - this is how hot it was in my room (I didn't despite my desperation). I did call in to reception on my first day and maintenance personnel did come up to take a look but it didn't change anything as the room was not cooling at all during my three night stay (even with the window closed). I was here in the first week of Aug so unbearable in the height of summer and based on this part of my experience I wouldn't stay here again. The actual room and bathroom is great (no kitchen equipment e.g. utensils but no biggie if you're not planning on self-catering). Other than this, the location is great as it is only a 10 minute walk to Fondazione Prada (a must-see) and there a lot of eateries and restaurants in walking distance. Supermarkets are also very close by. I didn't navigate the public transport to get here from Milano Centrale (I used a taxi to get here and then a taxi app to get back to the station) but I'm sure it is possible to get here using public transport which is much cheaper.

In fact, it is no longer part of Milan. To be precise, it is a village on the edge of Milan. If you are here for tourism, it is not recommended. It is recommended for business travel. The people staying in this hotel are basically business travelers and workers in the surrounding areas. The price is much more cost-effective than that of Milan city. It is a certain distance from Milan city. It is estimated that a taxi will cost more than 80 euros.

Successful location two steps from the station. Exceptional cleanliness everywhere! Common kitchen: you can cook or heat something. From the downsides - as already written here: It is not clear why it is impossible to send the codes in advance on the day of the check-in, if the foreigner asks, as not everyone has at the time of the settlement roaming or WI-FI. Requests for e-mail and SMS were ignored. It is necessary to call - standing in front of the door.

From Milan Central Railway Station, take three or four bus stops in 5 minutes on foot, which is more convenient than expected. You can take a tram to major attractions. Girls stayed alone, very safe, the single room was large, it was a double bed, stayed in Italy for 9 nights and finally lived in Milan. The biggest and cheapest room, no breakfast but pots and pans were all available. Unfortunately, I didn't cook. There are two access control inside and outside, very safe, check out free luggage storage, very satisfied!
