ibis Milano Ca Granda Hotel 3 stars

The hotel seems really outdated, lift and corridor dirty, corridor long and narrow, bathroom also looks old, the tub is too high... seems an hotel from the 70's, not in a good way, and too expensive for its conditions.

Excellent

Great location (peaceful silent spot with beautiful territory in 20 min by tram or metro from Central Station). Kind and communicative stuff. Rooms r clear and perfect for the rest after long walking in the city. Thanks.

Everything was nice apart from USB ports that were not working

pent three nights here on a trip to Italy and the weather was very wet and atrocious for the whole time and made the building look very old from the outside and not great, but I always tell myself you should never judge a book by it's cover, so I didn't. I collected my key at 3.30pm having checked in on-line earlier and got a text at 2.01pm to tell me that my room on the first floor (asked for high floor but didn't get) was ready. I collected my key, got in the (old) elevator and made my way to my room. Wheeling my case across the corridors I was staggered to find a cleaner instantly berating me down the corridors for wheeling my case along the ground, seemingly suggesting she just cleaned it and I should carry the case, not the greatest of welcomes. Anyway, I got in the room, which had a very small window and had the smell of bleach and was very warm. The air conditioning didn't work and the window opened to a view of pipes and little else. The design was very much retro IBIS, with a poor square TV, one plug socket in whole room and probably the cheapest looking safe I've seen, not even a screen to confirm the numbers you just set, if you mistyped them, you'd be in trouble! The bathroom wasn't great. I had two toilet rolls, about 1/4 left on each which is quite odd, and the shower/bath combination unit was broken. Normally you can lift the knob fully up or down to direct water flow to shower/bath, but whatever I did, the majority of water always came out of the bath tap and the shower had very little pressure. From reading reviews here, it seems that this is a common issue here. I cannot honestly say I would be back here, unfortunately they failed on many of the basics and when any hotel does that, the chances of me ever returning are close to zero. The hotel needs refurbishment and some proper care taken over the rooms

Long back complementary water and toiletries were provided, this should maintain the tradition and this will make Accor brand different than others! In this competitive world, how to keep their customer becoming very complex task? But by doing little will make the customer felt home and return!

Basic amenities like tap on sink, shower, cleaning were not good.

Poor, dreadful communal areas, ran out of beer, poor breakfast and slow to replenish, cost much more than it was worth

Week-end découverte de Milan.

Everything was perfect except the rooms being too dark maybe. It just gives you a moody, sad feeling. Also maybe the showers shouldn't be tubs. But closeness of it to the metro and to the city center was perfect. Overall it was perfectly fine.

I booked the hotel as I needed to be in the area the day after - given its pricing I was expecting more. The hotel was extremely basic - rooms are a little outdated - even if there is a USB charger plug it did not work. And the breakfast was less than I expected. Also as a foreigner there was no need to open the TV for entertainment. Perhaps I was wrong - but I was not excited

Staff can't speak English. Communication between guests is important. No air-conditioning in the room which is a must especially when it's hot. As a result, we have to open the windows all night but the downside is we can hear the noise of the guests coming & a lot of mosquitoes came in. Flat sheet not readily available in the bed, we still have to request one. Pillows not good.

Ibis standard hotel from all over the world. Inside I expected. The cost versus benefit is good. I couldn't evaluate the breakfast, as Ibis's was closed and we had to go to the hotel next door to have it.
