“Reasonably priced Milan Hotel”
The Novotel Nord Ca Granda is not the best situated hotel, but it is only a short, cheap tram ride to the Metro station, and once the M5 line is complete access will be better. The hotel itself is in a square alongside a sister, ibis hotel. It was clean, the room was spacious and well-fitted. There were 26 tv channels, including (in english) CNN, CNBC, Eurosport and National Geographic Channel. BBC World was mentioned, but not available during my stay. Aircon worked very well (it was over 30C yet the room stayed pleasant), and all other fixtures/fittings worked. A negative point, for a mid-range hotel was no free WiFi access. It was available, but at a rather hefty 15Euros/day!! Nearby were a range of good eateries, and Milan's public transport is so good and cheap that even though the hotel is a distance from the main tourist areas it can be used as a base. Overall good.
