What a fabulous hotel! The city center location is excellent! The staff is brilliant and hospitable. The included breakfast had a wonderful assortment of delicious food on buffet and the Italian coffee was truly superb! I also loved that they had a harpist performing in the dining area. It made the experience next level. I highly recommend this hotel and would absolutely return.
Very welcoming, and attentive service. Fabulous room overlooking courtyard. Variety of breakfast items was great! Rooftop bar was a bonus for pre- dinner drinks in the sun. 10/10 location!
This hotel is well located and good appointed. Rooms smallish but great bathrooms. Quiet neighborhood. A couple of excelent restaurants you can walk to, about 200 ft away. Nice breakfast. But the most important: kind, nice employees with good attitude and ready to help you.
You can easily walk to Monteleone strada with plenty of high end boutiques and to the Duomo, which of course, you must visit.
It was very good to stay at a Green hotel. It was quiet and the staff worked hard to make our stay good. Unfortunately the food at the hotel let it down. Breakfast had a good range and I was delighted to find gluten free bread routinely available. The upstairs bar was a delightful place to be but I am afraid the food was sometimes dreadful. I sent back the risotto for instance. Service up there was a bit chaotic at times.

We had a decent stay at Milano Scala. We booked two rooms, one for $440 and one for $456. The positives: the staff were polite and professional. They always tried to help with our stroller when we had to go down the three steps to get from the entrance to the hotel lobby. The breakfast buffet was in a nice and airy room with the harpist. The critical feedback: one of the rooms (309) smelled bad. It wasn’t enough to complain about but it was as though something rancid was being covered up by very heavily perfumed cleaning products. I don’t usually mind when hotels have a signature scent. And I’m realistic that a lot of unfortunate things happen in these rooms unbeknownst to us guests. I would just suggest a deep clean. I believe it was either coming from the couch, bed or small bedside carpet by the bed. Otherwise, I thought that the large jacuzzi tubs could be attractive to some guests. Because it was quite elevated my 80-year-old mother found it difficult to get in and out. I imagine it can be a bit dangerous for older guests, although it does look attractive. The pillows were very flat and hard. I usually am not very discriminating when it comes to the bedding. I find most hotel beds to be comfortable. Both me and my partner, also pretty low maintenance, found these pillows to be very uncomfortable. It would be nice if there were a few different pillows in the closet if guests found this to be uncomfortable so they wouldn’t have to request for new ones to be sent up.
How lovely to have a quiet nights sleep in the centre of a busy city and only a short walk away to the major attractions of Milan. The reception staff at this hotel were exceptional. Friendly and very helpful.
I had a classic double room on the 2nd floor. I found it very dark — had to have lights on all the time! The weather probably didn’t help, it was overcast and rainy. Not the hotels fault!
Nice to have breakfast included in the price but will not recommend the hot option, it was cold and didn’t look appetising.
All in all though as a single and well travelled lady i would recommend this hotel.
Excellent standard of hotel near the centre of the city tourist attractions.
Staff very helpful and knowledgeable about all aspects of milan.
Wide choice of breakfast in delightful setting.
Would definitely stay again...
Very comfortable and convenient. Did see that it may need some updating soon. Carpet in hallway & elevators needs to be either cleaned or replaced. Staff was very helpful and accommodating.

Outstanding service; the room left a little to ber
The service and cleanliness was excellent. The layout of the room was confusing and a bit inconvenient. The light switch layout takes a couple of days to figure out – – there are no labels as to which lights are being controlled. In addition, I found the lighting to be substandard, especially for a room with stairs. The shower is typical for European showers, but does not have any safety features like grab bars for older adults. Otherwise, I found it to be a lovely hotel.
