Experience of the stay
It was the cheapest option listed at HafH near Milan Central Station, but it exceeded my expectations in comfort!! Great for exploring Italy◎
I recommend it for those who want to enjoy a comfortable stay in Milan while keeping costs down.
I have included a lot of photos, so please take a look⭐︎
🔸Access
Just a 12-minute walk from Milan Central Station! (One tram line as well)
Perfect base for exploring Italy!!!
I arrived at the station at 10 PM and walked here without any security issues◎
On the last day, I ordered a taxi from the front desk to Garibaldi Station for around 12 euros at 5 AM.
🔸Room
I stayed in a standard double room.
The bed was spacious enough for two.
The mattress had no sagging and was very comfortable◎
Air conditioning◎
I usually dislike shower rooms that get soaking wet, but this one had a slope so the water drained well, which was not a problem🙆♀️
It was quiet at night, and I slept comfortably😌
🔸Atmosphere
The front desk was spacious, and there was a terrace and bar, making it comfortable to relax outside of the room~😙
The staff were all friendly and very nice, which made me feel at ease😮💨
In the stylish and open terrace, there were guests eating takeout pizza, interacting with each other, and even singing along with someone playing the guitar, which was such a fun “international” vibe✨✨
🔸Sightseeing
It’s just one tram ride to the Duomo!
We walked there while enjoying the city, but it took about 30 minutes with continuous Milanese sights along the way🚶♀️
There are about three tram stops near the hotel, so if you get tired from walking around, you can easily take the tram back!
You can hop on using a contactless payment card! So convenient🥹
🔸Dining around the hotel
There are lots of restaurants between the central station and the hotel!
Almost all of them have terrace seating, which is nice😙✨
🍽️ Restaurant
📍Osteria Del Lazzaretto

It’s run by Chinese owners, but it doesn’t feel Chinese at all; it’s simply Italian!!
The atmosphere is great, cheap, and everything I tried was delicious. I visited multiple times during my stay🫶 For value seekers, definitely go👍
☕️ Café
📍Pavé

Bread and coffee! The best!
The interior is stylish, and the staff was super friendly☺️
🛒 Supermarket
There are three within walking distance.
📍to.market
↑ The closest one. Open until 21:30
It had a decent selection of items◎
You can fill up on free water at the square in front of Milan Central Station, so I didn’t even have to buy any!
Experiences during the trip
Recommended by a couple in their 30s focused on value👨🏻👩🏻🦰
A day walking through Milan 📍
Although the tram is convenient from the Ibis Hotel to the Duomo, we chose to stroll through the stylish streets🚶♀️🌿
The scenery is lovely and just walking boosts your mood✨
⛪️ Arriving at the Duomo is truly breathtaking!
If you have time, don't miss the views from the rooftop🌇
🍕 If you get a little hungry, head to the nearby Luini.
The famous fried pizza (panzerotti) is worth the wait even in line!
🌇 In the evening, don't miss the vibrant Naviglio district.
There are plenty of stylish restaurants along the canal that are great for a leisurely dinner🍷
🍨 Finally, finish off with some exquisite gelato at Il Negozietto del Gelato!
Rich yet refreshing, it might just be the best gelato I had in Milan💯
