Stayed here in June for 2 nights at the end of 3 weeks in Italy. It was a great place to stay before flying out from Milan airport. We arrived by train and departed by direct airport bus to Malpensa, which was a great value and fast efficient service. Hotel Elena was a great find, central, comfortable, clean, quiet (back... more

We stayed for 5 nights at the Elena, which is more of a bar with rooms above than a full blown hotel.

Double glazing and shutters kept out the noise from the square which wasn't too bad anyway. The front room overlooking the square could be quite... more

My wife and I stayed here in May of 2008 (I'm a little slow) and found this hotel well suited to our needs. It was right in the center of town, probably a mile to mile and a half from the train station but a very short walk to the waterfront where you can get ferries to all the different... more
