Isola della Scala Vacations from $1,439

The staff is very helpful. If you need something they are very accommodating. The location is great. It is close to all the shopping. They have a dock right outside the hotel that can bring you by private transfer ($$$). Another option is the "bus taxi" where you bring your luggage on and you get off at San Marco Vallossa. Its a 5 min walk. If I can do it, anyone can! The breakfast is ok. Downside for travellers. The hotel needs to update the rooms and repaint. No elevator. 2nd floor = 4 flights of stairs but they have someone that will bring your luggage up to your room and back down. It is a very busy dock and used for bringing supplies to all the businesses nearby in the morning- very noisy. But All the waterways are noisy, Welcome to Venice!!

The breakfast was pretty good and was included in our room rate, but the scrambled eggs were powdered eggs (they were terrible) and if you want fresh cracked eggs you paid 8-12 euros. We stayed in the presidential suite. It was very nice and large room and had a nice view of the Duomo. The outdoor balcony was very large too. Unfortunately, the lobby chairs and sofas need to be updated. They smelled bad and had stains on them. Otherwise, you are about a 10 minute walk from the galleria shopping area. Nice hotel and once they update the lobby furniture, it will be much better.

We really enjoyed our stay at Magna Pars. The room was clean an bright and had a lovely feel to it. The perfume smell in the room was pleasant and not overpowering. Staff are friendly and efficient. Although the location is not central Milan, we actually preferred that as it is quiet yet close to a Metro line than links you easily and quickly to the main sights of Milan. It is also walking distance to the Navigli area of Milan which has plenty of restaurants and bars. We would stay here again next time we are in Milan.

Had a lovely time, helpful and friendly staff, and they gave me an upgrade! Close to the station so convenient if you're travelling by train.
