Hotel Ramada di Milan

Pros: 1. Very large room with affordable rates considering it was located within the city centre....and with big name 2. Friendly and fluent English speaking front desk staff. 3. Easy check in as I booked via Trip.com only 5 hours earlier. 4. My room has 2 conjoint single beds and an extra single bed (I didn't use it as I'm a solo traveller). Bed was comfortable and the pillow, eventhough a bit thin, still feel comfortable on it. 5. Large and modern bathroom. Amazing rain shower with immediately heated water. Plenty of toiletries were provided (shampoo, soap bar, bath gel)..only setback was no toothbrush. They provide a hair dryer and magnifying mirror. 5. Room was provided with kettle, sachets of coffee and tea plus with sugars. 6. Minibar was equipped with chips, chocolate bar, juices and beers (these were payment items) 7. The best part was the room has a large balcony. 8. Breakfast has plenty of choices. Need to be there early as the seat might be fully occupied. 9. They had a large lawn and garden between the main block and next block. If you have kids, they can play and run in this area. Small swimming pool here but was close during my visit. 10. They had spa and gymnasium. 11. You can rent a free bicycle to cycle around Milan. it took me just 10 minutes to cycle into Via Buenos Aires and another 5 minutes to Duomo. 12. They allowed my luggage to be kept in the store after checking out as my flight was at night. Cons 1. The nearest metro station is Turro which is located about 10 minutes walking if you come with a large luggage. 2. At first impression, the hotel did not appear to be like a typical version of the hotel from the outside, instead it looks like one of the neighbourhood blocks with a boring design. (However, once you enter it, your view changes 360°) 3. Breakfast has no variety on other days. Seems a repeated menu every morning. Overall, I was really satisfied to stay in this Ramada chain hotel. You will never regret staying here. Only distance might give you a second thought on it. But after staying here, this will be my repeated hotel if I will be back in Milan.
