A Hidden, Budget "Gem" in Milan
This was the best overall budget hotel in my trip. It was located about a 20 minute walk from the train station, but it was worth the extra steps. The area was not the best, but not the worst either. I did not see any disconcerting characters lingering about, but it was certainly no five-star street. Plus, it was a short walk to the subway, a huge plus. The hotel itself was cute on the outside, with a pointed-arch facade that subtly referenced the Middle Ages. The entry was small, down a few steps, but decently maintained. The lady who met me was very friendly, and always called me by my name and had a smile for me when she saw me. Her husband took off with my bag while I was still checking in, which worried me. It would be better to go upstairs with the customer, but all was fine. The room I had was small, like the cool, trendy dorm room you always wished you could have had in college, and decorated in a very cute way, with gothic-arched windows opening onto a balcony. The size did not bother me, and I did see in passing open doors that other rooms were larger, so if a dorm-size room is not your thing, you have options. Just ask. But the size was fine with me because it was clean, attractive, and cute. The walls were rather thin, but earplugs resolved that. My only real complaint is that the shower was very small and should have a shower door, not a curtain, as the curtain kept moving in on me which was uncomfortable. But I would stay there again if I returned.

Basic but pleasant
The room was lovely- plenty of space even in a single room and despite the road outside being relaid it was quiet. The reception is basic and could not speak English well so it took us a while to get through the process but the man was pleasant! There were no local maps or guides which meant I relied on google lots! There are no lifts and a lot of stairs which was hard going in the heat. Air con is only free for 12 hours at night which I did not realise until I checked out having packed in the heat! The area is quiet but very out of the way and is quite a walk to anywhere useful. However, as a lone traveller I never felt unsafe. Breakfast was very sparce although there was a lovely terrace you could sit on!

20 mins walk to Milan Central Train Station.
The walls are paper thin and you can hear everyone coming up and down the stairs. I was woken up by someone's alarm clock in the next room going off and 4 am. The night receptionist is very helpful.

Hotel Malta
Close to red and green metro stops which are direct to Duomo, Last Supper, Castle, and Navigli. The family that ran it was very nice and allowed us to store our luggage during the day after check out. They even allowed us to borrow an umbrella on the day it rained. Very clean, cute little rooms that overlooked a pretty courtyard.

We regretted staying here
At least in the summer months, do not stay here. You will sweat to death at night. There is no air conditioning and it doesn't cool down (ever). After 6 weeks of traveling, this was the only hotel we regretted - it ruined our next day - but if you don't mind baking, maybe this is the hotel for you. We spend little time in our hotel rooms, so the rest is just fine ... pretty clean, mediocre staff, and in a decent area. Just note: you might have to walk up 4 flights of stairs with your luggage (though if you are looking for a cheaper hotel in Milan, I assume you don't mind that).

OK for the price
It was OK. Not far from train station, close to metro stop. Room was adequate, bathroom was adequate, wifi sporadic but close to adequate (it was real good at certain times but not so good around 10PM but that may have had to do with the clientele and when the majority of people got on wifi when I was there). It really isn't anything special but it's not bad at all. Easiest way to walk there from the train station is to go out the front doors of the train station (which are blocked off now due to construction so you have to go out the side and go to the front and face as if you came out the front door:-) and turn left and walk around the left side of the "round-about" to Dorian Street. Take Dorian all the way to the second round-about (about 6 blocks; it's called Loreto). So you have to curve around the first round-about and get back on Dorian. Then you turn right and pass a street, maybe two but I think only one to Nicola Antonio but I think you only see Nicola (you will see it). Turn right and go one short block and turn right again on Giavonni Ricardo. It's about half a block on your left-hand side.

Perfect for lone travellers
All the reviews about the Malta Hotel being small and having no elevator are true. However, if you're travelling alone and don't have too much luggage, then it's perfect considering the price. For a price that usually would only get you into a youth hostel, you get your own room with your own ensuite bathroom (including a toilet, bidet and powerful shower), and my room also had a sink in the bedroom area which was handy for getting ready to go out. The room was very clean and pleasant. Negative points were: Firstly, the wifi doesn't work above the first floor. This is something they seem to have known about for a long time and are doing nothing about. Secondly, they provide very little in the way of soap or shampoo and I felt I was always rationed. A couple of extra sachets of shampoo and an extra bar of soap would have felt a bit better. Also, the TV is tiny, but that wasn't a big deal. Finally, the water system is very noisy and I was woken up in the night everytime anyone in a nearby room turned on a tap. All in all though, it's an excellent hotel for the price. It's close to Loreto subway station but I just walked into town. I'd strongly recommend this hotel if you're travelling on a budget - I find it hard to imagine getting anything better for the price! If you're looking for luxury though, or have a lot of luggage and family, this might not be the best.
There is a balcony but the view is just a small side street. I had been hoping for a nicer view!

Great for the price
I read a couple of reviews and was a bit apprehensive but glad we booked the hotel. At the price we pay, we have no complains. Not 5 star but it is clean, service is good (let us store our luggage when we arrived early and after check-out), near to the tube stop, large room and safe location. Only thing to point out is the stairs (not for those who cannot go up 3 level of stairs).

Malta Hotel - great for a short stay
Great location! There were plenty of nearby restaurants and shops, and the Loreto metro stop is very close by to take you to all of the sights. Very clean room with all the amenities we needed. The only thing I can complain about was the service. I'm not sure if it was the language barrier, but the staff seemed almost annoyed (like it was a chore) to get us checked in and checked out. Wifi cost 5 euros, but we weren't actually able to get it in our rooms (I believe it was there own personal wifi router). That being said, it wasn't too great an inconvenience to walk 2 flights down to use wifi. Overall a good value for the money and location, but I wouldn't choose this hotel for a long stay.

A 2 night stay @ Malta Hotel
It was pretty much what I expected and was looking for. I had two nights in Milan before flying out and wanted an affordable place to stay where I could relax and have some privacy. The room & bathroom were very clean and the shower had excellent water pressure. The location was actually pretty good, it was on a quiet residential street only a couple blocks from a major metro stop. I also greatly appreciated their ability to speak some English given how poor my Italian is. Unfortunately, the bed was small and very uncomfortable. In addition, the wifi only worked in the lobby (well, they don't really have a lobby, it basically worked while sitting on the base of the steps). In the end, it was what I was looking for; an affordable small step up from staying in a hostel. As mentioned by others, don't stay here if you can't handle going up and down a few flights of stairs.

Das Zimmer war klein aber sehr gemütlich und neu ausgestattet. Ich hatte einen kleinen Balkon der auf die Gärten der Hinterhöfe zeige. Am Abend habe ich die Ruhe sehr genossen. Das Personal war sehr freundlich. Einchecken war vor 14 Uhr nicht möglich, ich konnte aber meinen Koffer dort deponieren. Fünf Gehminuten von der nächsten U-Bahn Station und 20 Minuten vom Hauptbahnhof entfernt. Würde ich sehr empfehlen für wenige Nächte.

Absolut little pearl!
Very nice, clean and friendly little hotel! The room was tiny, but cute, and had everything in good condition and clean. The area is convenient for moving around the city having metro stations in a few minutes reach, and big shopping street Corso Buenos Aires leading to the centrum a block away. The area itself has several similar small hotels and a small shop to get water and fruits around the corner. Otherwise quiet, no noisy bars etc. The owner couple was very friendly and seemed to really care for their customers, greeting with my name every time. Definitely coming back to this place whenever in Milan!

Esperienza negativa
Avendo pagato 100 euro a notte, la valutazione non è sulla singola stella e sui servizi coerenti con quella, ma sul costo sostenuto. A parte i circa 80 scalini da fare per andare in camera (ovvero 160 per la colazione, peraltro piuttosto carente), la dotazione insufficiente come sapone e bagno doccia, la tv con qualche problema di ricezione su diversi canali, la cosa più negativa è il caldo torrido nella stanza, e quando ho chiesto di accendere l'aria condizionata (c'è lo split) mi è stato risposto che la accendono solo a giugno luglio e agosto. Inaccettabile, con 30 gradi.

Бюджетный отель с минимумом удобств.
Бюджетный отель с минимумом удобств. Нет лифта, по лестнице неудобно подниматься с тяжелым с багажом. Wi-Fi есть. Из плюсов: цена, расположение (в 5 минутах ходьбы от станции метро Loreto), уютный садик во внутреннем дворе, а так же всегда готовый помочь несмотря на то, что не говорит по-английски Альдо. Из минусов: кондиционер централизованно выключают часов в 7 утра и до 7-8 вечера. Лейка душа закреплена в стене, могут не поменять полотенца или забрать 4 а оставить 2. Несмотря на то что бронировали номер с балконом (за несколько месяцев), по приезде нам его не смогли предоставить и в качестве компенсации предложили утренний чай с булочкой, что явно не равнозначно отсутствию в номере балкона. Можно остановиться на пару ночей но не более.
