Best Western Hotel Blaise & Francis

Hotel staff are very welcoming and bend over backwards to assist you. The rooms are a good size and clean and hotel is quite quiet and the bed is comfortable also. toiletries are supplied in the rooms. Pay extra to have the breakfast it's very nice and plenty of choice it even has a fresh orange juice squeezer.Evening meals are very nice but pricey. The area is not the nicest a bit run down with not a lot to do, but it is located 5 mins walk from Lancetti metro station easy to hop on a tube 4 stops to Central Milan or get a train to Lake Como (about a hour). If you are out and about visiting its cheaper to buy a 3 or 7 day ticket that covers zones 1-3 metro (not trains) The train stations are a challenge at the beginning but ticket staff spoke English, some stations didn't appear to have staff hence the difficulties, we got the hang of it. If you are visiting Duomo buy tickets in advance the queues are horrendous if you buy on the day and its hot standing in the sun. In a nutshell great cheaper end accommodation yes we would go back to the hotel, a beautiful city and areas around the lakes have incredible beauty but eating is expensive. Enjoy! less

Looks old and tired, elevator makes noise, water pressure in the bath tub makes washing a challenge, reception a little slow. Nothing really wrong with it, decent room all in all, just not that good an experience to make you come back less

Not happy with this hotel. Although it appears good it is not. No phone service in rooms, no air conditioning, in rooms, lobby, elevators, and restaurant, Many complaints about service and stay. we had to share irons and ironing boards they had a schedule at 1am for the use, crazy. I had to sleep on top of my sheets because ac in room was not working so they gave me a fan it was 95 degrees outside you think a fan works???? Restaurant staff although very nice were clueless. When you asked about the choices on the menu. they did not know anything or what it was. I once waited 1:30 hrs for my meal. I would have left but there are not real restaurants in walking distance. less

This hotel is located in between Garibaldi Train Station and Technical University Milan. The nearest tram line is number 2 that gives direct access to the city center. We stayed for business reasons. They upgraded our room, which was kind. Staff was very friendly. Few restorations can be recommended. In example the door of the room was not closing itself. You really needed to pull hard to lock. The safe was not functioning but as we did not need it it was not a problem to us. Breakfast was reasonable. less

We have just come back from a two night stay and this hotel was great for us. For the price we paid we couldn’t complain, it was easy enough to get to the metro station about 5minute walk and then a 10minute journey into the centre. We didn’t use the hotel for food but the staff gave us the information if we wanted to. Staff were friendly and polite especially the guy who was cleaning the rooms - had a smile on his face every time we saw him. The room was spacious, the bed was comfy and the room was clean. less
