Hotel Catalani & Madrid

The owner and staff were very kind, and breakfast was very good, with bread and pastries. There wasn't any fruit or fresh ham, though. For the price, it's an okay place to stay. The room felt like an old apartment, with a small TV and ordinary bathroom. The fan wasn't very good, and my wife and I felt hot, even though we knew Italy was getting very hot. My wife also left with a lot of mosquito bites, so I'd give it four stars.

The rooms were at least clean, and we got fresh towels. Breakfast was decent, though the sweet croissants were the only good part, and the coffee could have been worse. The walls were so thin we could hear a feather drop in the adjoining room. The pictures I added speak for themselves. This was nearly the worst hotel I've stayed in. The unfriendly old man at reception was very unprofessional. There are two buildings: you check in at the one that looks decent, then find out your room is in the other, which looks like it barely survived World War 2. The location isn't as good as the booking site claims. If you've got 5 bucks more, find another hotel. I'd give this one 1.5 stars if I could.

We found the area quiet, and breakfast was fine. The room was small but big enough for sleeping and using the bathroom after a day out in the city. It was cleaned every day, and the bathroom had everything stocked. The staff were kind and helpful. I'd suggest this place to people planning to spend their days in the city, or on business in Milano, who don't want to spend a lot on a hotel. I liked it!

The breakfast was simple but good enough, though there weren't any vegetables. The staff were friendly, helpful, and spoke English. The place is good for the price, but we were charged 3€ per person per day in tourist tax, which wasn't mentioned on booking. It also said all taxes were covered and included in the price.
