Room very spartan but very clean and brightly coloured. No pictures on walls. No front on wardrobe. No English channel at all on TV, one French programme we could watch. Central fluorescent light in bedroom - strange in a bedroom. Bed very hard and uncomfortable.
Breakfast ok, 2 cereal choices, yoghurt, fruit but tinned fruit cocktail, not fresh. Brioche type croissants which weren't very nice. This was 5 or 6 euros extra. Good transport to Milan city centre by no 4 tram - 1/2 hour's journey each way. Trams quite cheap. Some restaurants around in the area, one we tried was ok, the other was not very good. I don't agree with the person who said it was in a not very good area, it's quite close to the university and was not run down, quite safe to be in at night.
I would stay nearer the centre another time and pay a bit more money. This hotel is not expensive as hotels go but it does seem a bit like a hostel in that the walls are not well soundproofed, although this did not bother us much as it was November and not so busy.
