Hotels Near Chiesa Ellenica Ortodossa in Milan

My stay at Hotel Raffaello was brilliant. The staff were amazing, the breakfast buffet was exquisite with a variety of food options, I had no issues with the internet, the hotel bar was great (and so was the bar tender), and I really loved my shower. The only negative with the economy single was that the size was a bit smaller than anticipated. The hotel location was perfect for me as it is within walking distance to two tram stops (1 and 5 mins away) making it well connected. It was not too central, which is great because it meant that the area was less crowded and quieter than if it were located closer to the center. I would recommend the hotel to anyone, for sure!

Wonderful place to stay in! The hotel is comfortable and nice, staff is very, very friendly and the rooms are clean. The rooms have lovely balconies. Soundproofing was bad though - I could hear everything happening in the corridor. Also there was a (locked) door leading from my room to the one next to me and when my ”neighbour” was taking a shower or watching TV, I could hear everything so well that I woke up one morning my shower was on. The location is bit weird, but worth the train ride and walk.

After reading all the mixed reviews, I won't lie, I was not sure what to expect. The images on the site looked great so I stayed optimistic. We landed at Bergamo and got a coach transfer to Milan Centrale which was around €60. We had 2 large suitcases so got a private taxi to the hotel which was roughly €20. Be prepared to do lots of walking!! We checked in at 2pm and paid the local tax, and the staff were lovely, all bar one who was always a bit grumpy !! The staff were more than accommodating and welcomed us so well and one of the ladies gave my children a little Minions activity pack each which they loved. Breakfast was included in our package which I didn't realise- brilliant! The selection was good and I was impressed by how many alternative milks they had as well catering to those with intolerances/allergens ie a gluten free diet. (I would however recommend that the gluten free items be placed further away from the pastries and cakes to prevent cross contamination, as well as a separate toaster) Fresh juice was available everyday as well as a good selection of fruit salad, cakes, pastries and different kinds of teas. I would suggest a few more options for those that do not eat meat. Nonetheless the breakfast was great- especially the marble cake!! We had use of the pool and gym included. My children would stay in the pool all day if they could but it was great to cool down in as it is incredibly hot!! The gentleman at the desk suggested taking the 27 tram into the city centre, and this is just a short walk away from the hotel. It takes roughly 20 mins max to get to the centre and runs every 10 mins which is great. We purchased a travel card (3 day and 2 day separately) for €12 and €8 which covered bus, train, tram and metro. (These can be purchased at convenience stores or the metro station). Children also travel free on public transport as far as I know. The rooms were big enough for us and were tidy on arrival. We didn't need housekeeping everyday but the ladies who did come in did a fabulous job and didn't disrupt any of our items. These ladies were lovely and always smiled when we greeted them. We had air conditioning which was a god send as it was very hot during our visit- nearly 40°C!! WiFi is included but you have to get daily codes which was a bit annoying but the gentleman at the desk gave us enough to cover the last few days of our trip. The hotel was clean and tidy as well as smelling nice- I need to know what fragrance is used in the lobby!! The staff were great and I cannot thank them enough for all their help during our staff, they are a credit to the Novotel chain. I'm really sorry I didn't catch any names during our stay, but can gladly recommend this hotel to my friends and family! Arrivederci!!

Made two different bookings as I wasn’t sure if the hotel was good. However, it went beyond my expectation so I extended my stay. In addition to what I have mentioned on my earlier feedback, I was able to check out late at about 1:30 PM without any additional fee. Finally, I would like to thank the excellent customer service from the staff. The breakfast was worth more than the fee they charge. I’m definitely staying at this hotel when I visit Milan some time in the future.

Late arrival, booked through corporate AMEX, stayed in a room 1011 on 10th floor. Annoying street noise through large windows with no handles and no view of the street due to foils covering them. Was too tired, but could finally sleep. In the morning, the noise was even louder, I checked the windows again, and although they had no handles, I managed to open both of them. Neither was locked! The elevator experience was horrible, the elevators made horrible noise and one started beeping after the 4th passenger and only stopped beeping after 2 passengers got off. The hotel looks old and poorly maintained.

Near train station but far from city area. Have to take a train and transfer into a water boat to the city area. However, there’s quite a couple of Chinese restaurants nearby which is good!

Mediocre and unprofessional welcome, pathetic and claustrophobic room, totally different from the description at the time of booking, non-existent bathroom external sink uncomfortable bed and non-opening windows, double bed wedged between two walls with 25 centimeters of space only on one side, TV hanging very up and not even leaning towards the bed, which is also uncomfortable, such small rooms at about 100 euros per night is a theft, personally, if not forced by force majeure, I will never sleep there again. Of the whole complex, the restaurant saves little choice but good and well presented, and even the courtesy of the lady of the dining room makes the difference, also included at breakfast, with enough choice of sweet and savory, it allows you to have an excellent breakfast, too bad the Indian guest, who barefoot, it left a not exactly scented trail, but this is not the fault of the structure, however my advice is to avoid the hotel

Επέλεξα να μείνω στο συγκεκριμένο ξενοδοχείο τον Νοέμβριο του '22. Σε γενικές γραμμές ήταν καλό. Το δωμάτιο ήταν μεγάλο, με καθαρά κλινοσκεπάσματα, υπέροχο στρώμα, καλό φωτισμό και με ευρύχωρο μπάνιο. Ωστόσο, η μία λάμπα στο δωμάτιο ήταν καμένη ενώ το mini bar για 4* ξενοδοχείο, άδειο! Το πρωινό ήταν πλούσιο σε επιλογές, σε ένα ήσυχο περιβάλλον με καθαρά σερβίτσια. Το προσωπικό του ξενοδοχείου φιλικό, πρόθυμο να απαντήσει σε κάθε ερώτηση, ωστόσο, όταν ζήτησα πληροφορίες για μεταφορά προς το αεροδρόμιο, η μοναδική επιλογή (τους) ήταν ”ταξί” που κατέληξε σε συνεργαζόμενο γραφείο - ενώ σε ερώτηση ενημέρωσης δρομολογίων των λεωφορείων (μιας κι η πτήση ήταν πρωινή ώρα), η απάντηση τους ήταν ”δεν γνωρίζουμε, πρέπει να ενημερωθείτε απ' την εκάστοτε εταιρεία”, κάτι φυσικά που με απογοήτευσε, διότι περίμενα καλύτερη και πληρέστερη ενημέρωση απ' το Guest Relation. Όσον αφορά τη τοποθεσία, βρίσκεται μόλις 5 λεπτά μακριά (με τα πόδια) απ' το μετρό και μέσα σε λίγα μόλις λεπτά βρίσκεσαι στο κέντρο του Μιλάνο.

A very spacious and well-kept hotel on the outskirts of Milan. The reception desk staff is prompt and helpful; be it checking-in, asking for advice or calling a taxi. Very much appreciated their courtesy. The room was a bit smaller than expected and had no tea / coffee facilities or ironing stand. But all these things were provided quickly if requested. Daily room making service was very good. The bed was comfortable and there was no extra noise around. The breakfast was wonderful, with lots of choices. The girls there spoke very good English and cappuccino was always served in style and courtesy. The hotel had three lifts and each was indicated by a digital sign board beneath the centre one. They were quick and it was easy to know which door would open by looking at the display board. The only drawback was its distance from anywhere of interest in Milan. We chose the public transport a few times and the journey involved travelling one part via tram and then switching to the underground metro system with one change to reach the Duomo area.Taxi ride each way was around 30 Euros. The low cost of the rooms was an incentive to choose this place to stay but if you are to enjoy Milan then it is better to be closer to the city centre though it is quite expensive.

I booked and paid for standard bed however once I was there I was informed they are full to capacity and only twins beds were available. My trip was for 5 nights and the they would only be able to offer me a standard bed the last night of my stay. I was also told that I'm staying longer than the normal as their minimum patrons stays between 2-3 nights and my stay is longer. The food is also not desirable. I was disappointed by that being in Italy and not having a capable chef. The person working was overwhelm as the was the only one and there were many people to attend to. The location was not ideal as it was right next to an abandon building and walking to get the bus was dark and creepy. Because it was my first time in Milan I was expecting more but next time I'll choose another hotel closer to the town. It's good if you're seeking few days just to stay All the staff at the front desk were exceptional and that was a pluys
