Hotel Italiana Hotels Milan Rho Fair

The room was okay, and being near the train station was convenient enough, though I'd suggest staying in the city. Breakfast had very few choices, with just eggs and bacon as the two hot options. Staff attention was poor: only the woman at reception was nice, the restaurant staff were nowhere to be seen, and the man who checked us in wasn't helpful. This definitely didn't feel like a four-star hotel.

There are plenty of free parking spaces, but during the day they're nearly impossible to find. By the evening, once you get started, the spaces are empty. The restaurant area on the fourth floor is nice, and the rooms are spacious and comfortable with everything you need. The fitness room is very basic, just three pieces of equipment. It's an old building that's been completely renovated and expanded, and it has a nice feel. The hallways, though, are so dark they look like a darkroom.

The breakfast selection was fairly limited, though the coffee was good and having it on the rooftop terrace was a real plus. The hotel bar is open whenever the staff decide to open it, which felt unusual. Check-in went smoothly, but they tried to photocopy my passport without asking, even though they only needed the details rather than a full copy. The rooms are fine, nothing special.

The young woman serving breakfast was lovely and had a smile throughout. Parking right in front of the main entrance was convenient. The hallways were very dim, and the shower leaked when I used the large shower head, so we had to stick to the handheld one. You also can't get from the first floor down to reception without taking the elevator.
