Hotel Sabatino Milan

I also had a very bad time in this hotel. The staff is not friendly at all, they were greedy and made me pay a price which wasn't the one that was foreseen and put on the contract. Since they had my credit card number (they force you to give it when you book the room) I could not do anything, and had to accept 5€ more per night and per person. the sheet were not clean (marks of make-up everywhere), the TV set did not work, and the breakfast was awful. Just don't go there if you want to have a good time in Milan!

We had a very bad time in this hotel. The staff was really terrible, one of the them loooked at us in a strange way everytime we'd pass over the counter (we were four young women), and I saw him actually looking at my friend's breast, in a very pervert way. The night staff was quite bad as well, first the guy didnt speak english, and wouldnt care if he couldnt find our key (you know that's not his problem, no wait, that's worse that's his job), and the manager was really bad as well. he would act friendly and all but when we told him about the problems we were facing in the hotel he just laughed at our faces! And then said -- Well, girls that's life, I was one in Paris (we're French), and it was awful! Is that a reason to make us pay for it? The services were really bad as well! As opposed to was was written on the website, they didnt have free internet access, for the internet just worked one evening (for a week of stay that's little), they didnt have credit card payment either, and the breakfast was really lousy, so called juice (water, with strange orange powder floating), and dry bread! And we also faced some issues with the bathroom, clogged toilets, and brownish water coming from the sink! We also noticed that the neighborood was not so nice, for we saw a prostitute at the entrance of one of the hotel nearby. All in all, we really did not enjoy our stay there, so we'd advise you to avoid this place!

Hotel Sabatino is great. It is very clean, and has a very friendly staff and a yummy breakfast that is simple but good (and fabulous coffee!). I would say that the shower is the only thing that leaves anything to be desired. The bathroom has an open shower, which gets everything wet. But still it is very clean, and you get linen provided, too (not towels, though). The hostel is in a great area, close to all the shopping, and about a thirty-minute walk to the Duomo, which is cool, because you get to see Milan very well. Be careful of pickpockets—I saw someone today getting their bag picked from, and it's not fun. The thieves are lightning-fast, so keep everything locked up and hold onto EVERYTHING! The hostel is a bit of a hike to get to if you're coming from Linate airport, but if you're coming via train, you are only two metro stops away. I enjoyed my time here, and met some great people. You only need to stay a day in Milan, as there are limited sights to see, but if you're here to shop and you have the money, then you should go for a week at least!
