We stayed at Hotel Brianza for one night in July 2009, and were pleasantly surprised at this little hotel. The owner seemed a little cranky to begin with, but after a few bad jokes on my behalf he definately warmed up and shared with us some great tips on Milan and an extremely useful map. Close to the train, and... more

Stayed there 4 nights at February 2009. Took a taxi from Milan main train station and it costed about 8euros. Rate include little breakfast at downstairs. Hotels is equal distance from Repubblica and Porta Venezia subway stations which both take you to all the big sights. Rooms are very standard but sadle the bathroom is little crowded. Toilet is right... more

Been to Hotel Brianza end of May/ early June and I only can say it was fantastic. The hotels seems to be renewed with fresh paint, new carpets. The hospitality was perfect and the staff was helpful, patient and very nice. I have been reading some bad reviews here about the friendliness, but that's probably because people don't take the... more

If there is one thing you want from a hotel - just one thing - it is cleanliness. Most other sins can be forgiven, but cleanliness is a must. On our first night, we saw a BEDBUG in our bed. Hoping against hope that it wasn't a bedbug but actually something else, we went to sleep anyway. And woke up... more

We stayed 5 nights at the Hotel Brianza. On arrival at Central Station (off the Malpensa airport shuttle bus) the hotel is an easy 10 minute walk. It is then another easy 15 minute walk to the centre of Milan (the Duomo etc). This is a budget hotel, but good value for money and well situated. The rooms are small,... more

After a shaky start regarding a cot and some miscommunication from all parties this turned out to be a great little hotel for it's price range. We arrived in Milan after a train journey from Turin and aleady had a route to the hotel. We found it really easy. We did walk but it is poss to catch the metro... more

Stayed there for 1 night at end Sept 2008. A bit far from Milan Central Station (take about 15mins walk with luggage) but close to Repubblica Metro Station where you can take direct train to Duomo. Room size is small as expected but it seems to have been newly refurbished with some new furniture. Reasonably clean. Bathroom size is ok... more

Stayed for 1 night in a twin bedroom, for 120 euros. Booked thru booking.com after a night-search thru several websites. Others had this same hotel much pricier. Very basic lobby, with a counter, a bar/lobby to your left, stairs to your right (no lift). There is a breakfast room under the stairs. Everything small except the closet, sink and towels!... more

Enjoyed my brief stay in Hotel Brianza before catching an early morning flight out from Malpensa. The hotel is small, cute and has character - there is no lift and the rooms are small (as you would expect in Milan), but we had a room with a small balcony which afforded a view over the tramlines and main street near... more
