Hotel Milano Scala

Perused TripAdvisor when my friend and I decided to go to Milan for a long weekend. Neither of us had been before, and no one we asked had any hotel recommendations for us. We didnt even really know the layout od the city. The reviews of this hotel stood out, and we were not disappointed. It is extremely well-located to the BIG tourist must-sees in Milan. (We walked nearly everywhere.) The opera house is minutes away on foot. Our room, though small-ish, was clean comfortable and quiet. Nice amenities in the bathroom. Breakfast is incredible—lots of variety, hot and cold foods and drinks available and plentiful enough so that eating lunch was not really necessary. Drank at the (covered) rooftop bar one evening. Had a view of mountains at a distance and watched the sunset. It was delightful. The hotel staff were welcoming and helpful. Would return here without question.

I have stayed here on many occasions, and it is consistent. The rooms are comfortable and varied; they change quite a bit in size and shape. I was on a high floor this time with a walkway outside that leads up to the skybar on the floor above. Staff are helpful, breakfast is OK, albeit a bit boring because it has remained the same since the first time I stayed many years ago. The downstairs bar is no longer open in the evening. In past reviews I had commented that I thought it very expensive for what was on offer and that it was not frequented much. The skybar is equally expensive but one does get a great view of the city and it is open air.

This was our 3 time in Milan and we really enjoyed the location of this hotel. The staff were very helpful & polite and always available to help with any queries. Our room was spacious with a good bathroom & comfortable bed. Breakfast was a treat with an excellent selection to choose from at the buffet, the coffees & freshly squeezed juices were of high standard not just out of a bottle. Best of all was the harpist playing during breakfast creating the most amazing atmosphere, it was a lovely way to start the day. My only disappointment was the bar, with everything else being of a high standard it was lacking in customer serve & the quality of the cocktails and nibbles, it felt like it was rush through with very little care.

From check in to check out all the staff were very friendly and helpful. Our room was well appointed, fair size and comfortable. It has a shared balcony and not something the we found very usable or appealing. The breakfast room and ambiance with the harp player was fantastic, but breakfast itself was very average and did not stack up for what the hotel represents. Location of the hotel is another bonus and anybody planning to visit Milan should consider this hotel - great option. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would recommend it.

The staff are amazing - very helpful. Having breakfast while the harp is being played is just Devine. There is a great roof top bar- friendly staff and a great atmosphere. Proximity to all the sights is within walking distance. It’s only small but has a big impact.
