First Trip to Europe. Did not know that the room key also turns on the lights in the room by turning on a master switch. So look for a slot for the key by the door that activates a master switch. Clean and comfortable enough, and close to transportation and the office.

Mixed Experience
This hotel gets very mixed reviews from me, and I likely will look for another place if I'm in the area in the future. Pros The staff representative who checked us in and out (Monday am and Sunday am) was awesome and nice. Very close to the Milano Politecnico where we had business all week. Short train ride to the center of town (recommend a 2-day pass) and on the main train line to Malpensa, Como, and stops north and east. Wifi was not bad; adequate for email and web browsing. Not fast enough to watch movies. Cons Extremely noisy, both from the street and the other rooms/hall due to the lack of any carpeting or soundproofing in the hotel. Very hard to sleep because of the noise that goes on all night. Furniture was student hostel like, with one electric outlet for electronics far across the room from the bed. Beds were low and hard. Had to open windows for air, leading to many bugs and exterior noise. One of the reception staff was exceptionally bad and rude (Wednesday night, late), making unacceptable assumptions about myself and a colleague who was also staying there.

The hotel is a nice enough place but in the worst area of Milan. You dare not go out after dark. You must car park or .... Just not a nice place. Room was creepy and the lay out is terrible

It could be better
Good things is its location.It is close to a train station. A single room 412 is on the first floor near the entrance on 2 story building. It was a bit difficult to move baggage up and down the stairs. Noise from outside could be heard. Air con was quiet cold and noisy. Blanket wardrobe and carpet were not clean. TV show are all in italian. A bottle of water costs 1.5 euro. Bathroom is big but the shower area is so small. Shower gel, soap and shampoo were provided. Towels were changes every day. Ironing in a room is not allowed and to be paid varied by clothes. Staffs could be more helpful. There are supermarkets, not far from the hotel. Breakfast was average. No free internet/wifi were provided.

In need of an upgrade
Very poor quality hotel. No WIFI, only wired internet which has the speed of dial up. Very old fashioned Hotel in general and in need of some refubishment. Only positive was the location in relation to the Train station to Central Milan but walking there @ night not recommended as area is very poor. Staff were not friendly and area around hotel very poor.

Nice, budget, convenient hotel to MXP
The breakfast is good. The staff work there is nice and patient. The first day when I arrived there, the hotel staff asked me to pay city tax in cash for all my stays. I paid it, but I did not get a receipt. I was told I would get it the day before I check out. I insisted if I give you money, you have to give me something to prove I paid. The gentleman wrote a note using hotel letterhead paper indicated my payment, said this is special for me. I did get the receipt the day before I checked out the hotel. I did feel special since there might be no other people asked for this. Their system seems different from American hotels. I feel home whenever I arrived hotel after a long working day every day in Milan. Thank you.

Clean, nice staff, convenient to airport
Nice staff work there. Very helpful. I emailed them several times for my concerns and questions. They emailed back. They printed my train tickets for my day trips. The breakfast quality is good. They have fresh fruit and different kind of cookies, fresh boiled eggs, yogurt, coffee, cakes, warm milk and a lot more others food, can prepare me well to start my day. One stop to convention center MiCo. Very convenient to airport. A little bit hard to find out their location first time. Remember to turn left when you walk out the train station, then turn right to a square, then turn right. The hotel is on the left side and right in front of you. It's very close to train station. The stop's name is Bovisa in airport express time table, but it announced as Bovisa Polytechnic (something like that). Only one old guy works in evening shift seems not as patient as other staff. One night after 11pm, I heard loud sounds like firework. It was quite odds to have firework after 11pm and little bit worried. I called front desk to check out what was going on, the old staff answered "how do I know". Not sounds polite.

This hotel is not a 3 star hotel and looks NOTHING like the advertised pictures. As budget travellers, we don't expect much but this was beyond disappointing. Way overpriced, not close to anything. Would not stay here again.

Booked it last minute and for the quality, it was a good price. Location is good but need to be informed they are not close to metro but train so need to be careful when trying to get there.

The only upside is the price
As with most 'city' hotels, the reception area makes it looks quite a nice hotel despite the 80's sofas, until you open the door to your room. Our dreadfully appointed third floor double room (bedside table? only if you sleep on the left) gave us a great view of the derelict land opposite, and the paper thin walls, worn out mattresses and noisy A/C did not make for a comfortable night's sleep. The bathroom was laughable, with one low powered light bulb, a leaky shower, and a toilet with a weird 'tap' flush which made a loud metallic grinding sound when you turned it - as did the neighbour's, which we found out when they used the toilet about 5am, as we were startlingly awoken by the loud grinding sound through the paper thin wall. Add some cold coffee and a poor choice of foods at breakfast, and you can imagine why we were so underwhelmed by this place. The only positive things I can say is that it's near to a train station, there's free parking in nearby streets if you can find any, and it's cheap. Given a second chance, I'd pay more for somewhere better.

Bad location when you only have a few days!
Overall the hotel did the job. It was quite small and the rooms were a bit old fashion. The toilets were very clean. Most of the staff was kind and serviceminded, beside from the night staff. They were rude and inpolite. Bovisa is not the right location if you only have a few days in Milano.

Excellent service, very kind and helpful staff, excellent cleanliness - room was cleaned daily and towels and bed sheets changed daily. Location is not very convenient as it is not so close to the city center, but the excellent service quality makes up for it.

The Valganna-conveniently located
The Valganna is minutes from public transport and only 10 minutes from the heart of the city. Very friendly and helpful staff. The bedrooms need a fresh coat of paint- not as flashy as the reception area. But overall, very good hotel. Would stay there again.

Good Hotel - near subway and fantastic Bathroom
Although the neighbourhood might not be ideal the Room and breakfast are more than adequate. The bathroom is amazing and from the outside you definately would not expect to find this. The subway is 1 - 2 stops from the centre of town and there is a supermarket around the corner (ask at reception for directions) so great for the budget traveller. Reception is rather laid back but just ask and they will provide.

Only positive, close 2 train 2 Malpensa Airport
The hotel lobby is beautiful. Then you get to your room. Toilets that don't flush, showers without working drains, cracks in the wall foundation, in the worst possible neighborhood (unsafe). I would NOT reccommend staying here.

Reasonable priced hotel
The hotel is pretty basic, it has all the facilities that you can expect for a 3 star hotel. i do have to compliment the householding staff for keeping the room clean and tiedy during our 3 day stay. the rooms are quiet, and the beds are ok. The breakfast is also pritty basic. and the English of the staff could be better. but then again it was good engough for me to make myself clear.

Front desk people are friendly, but the beds are hard...
I stayed here for a few days at the end of September 2009. The staff is very friendly and answered all my questions that I had, even allowing me to speak what little Italian I knew. I was a little put off by the location. I had chosen this hotel because it was "near" Malpensa airport, but it was actually a 33 minute ride by train or a 90 Euro taxi ride. The Bovisa station is near by so you can train it into town which is nice. I didn't enjoy sleeping on a hard bed. No give whatsoever and I woke up with sore joints. The location and neighborhood is a little on the unsavory side. I never really felt comfortable walking around at night. But there is a pizza place within a half mile that has good pizza. I probably won't stay here again.

Ho prenotato l'hotel e mi sono subito accorto di aver sbagliato data: ho quindi chiesto il rimborso pochi minuti dopo e mi è stato negato. Solo pochi minuti dopo aver prenotato! Rientra nei loro diritti ma certo è indice di scarsa considerazione per il cliente ed è segno di una struttura mediocre che non rinuncia ad una figuraccia pur di prendere un centinaio di euro.
