Hotel Vittoria

Really disappointing experience. Rooms were tiny (shower like being in a coffin). Described as having a bar - waited ages and finally gave up on getting a drink. Felt like a step back in time to the 1970’s. Hate giving bad reviews but travellers can get better accommodation elsewhere.

If you like really old fashioned Louis XIV like rooms this is the one for you, very very small rooms so you either can store your suitcase or get to the tiny wardrobe. Window was broken, so air con wasn't working (this was the case in most rooms as my colleagues who stayed there with me reported back), walls are paper thin and you can hear everything people do in the next rooms. The old and unwashed blankets are just covered in one sheet, and due to the smallness of the rooms it's not possible to clean them properly. Breakfast was good though and staff are friendly, but it's not a hotel I would stay again.

So overall the hotel was nice, but there were three things in particular that irked me. First, the WiFi is INCREDIBLY slow, to the point of being almost unusable. Second, they turn off the air conditioning at the end of September, so even though it’s still hot in early October all you can do is open the windows (and consequently have tons of mosquitoes fly in and bite you). And because it was so hot in the room, I raided the water in the mini bar because only McDonalds sells bottles that will fit in the mini fridge. Last, while the hotel isn’t too far from the Duomo, it’s on the east side of Milan, and a lot of things were on the west side, so the location wasn’t as convienient as I was hoping.

Friendly staffs

Warm reception and very helpful staff.
