Antica Locanda Dei Mercanti

The Hotel was located in a very central part of Milan. The facilities were very clean. The staff was extremely helpful. The rooms were extremely spacious. The set up for the bathroom was a little bizarre in having two separate areas for sink/toilet, and the other side of the hallway having the shower. Given this set up, there was no privacy, especially if you were not a couple sharing the room. Otherwise, I felt that the facilities were excellent. The staff was extremely helpful. We had a early check out time and they arranged for us to have at least some coffee in the morning prior to leaving to the hotel. The included breakfast was also delicious and had a good variety to offer. They arranged for a taxi transfer to go to the airport. The property was also very central, close to the Duomo, the Galleria and the nearby fortress. Perfect walking distance to a lot of the major attractions as well as shopping in the area.

We had a room with a terrace. It was every bit as lovely as expected. We enjoyed our breakfast there and ended up spending time in the afternoon, just reading. The room itself was small, but the hotel managed this expectation so we were ok. The shower was great, hot and with good pressure, which is unexpected in such an old building. The layout of the room was well thought through and we had space for our things. The hotel is not easy to find, but we got a message ahead of time to help us with that. The location is unbeatable, right at the very center of Milan. The hotel is pricey but we felt we got the value we were after. To us, the lovely terrace in the center of a busy city was the main selling feature.

This hotel is a gem. It forms part of a larger, historic building so feels special and unique. The rooms are unusual and we had a lovely big terrace that effectively doubled the size of the room. Very good, hot shower. Spotlessly clean throughout. The breakfast was just the right amount - cereals, yoghurts and fruit, as well as a basket of pastries with choice of freshly prepared eggs and a cheese and ham plate. The staff were fantastic. Very helpful and friendly, creating a really nice atmosphere in the hotel. The location is perfect for walking to the main city centre attractions.

Accommodation is generally quite expensive in Milan, but we were very pleased with our choice as the room was really lovely, spacious, clean and comfortable. Breakfast was excellent and the hotel location was ideal for walking all the main attractions. The staff were also very attentive, gave great advice of where to eat etc. Would highly recommend the property.

The central location was great but a little hard to find. The room with a terrace was bright and open but as it rained the three days we could not use the terrace. As the reception is on the first floor and requires stairs it was a challenge with heavy luggage but there was a lift that took us to the third floor room.
