Snel Overzicht: A polished, sustainable oasis that makes you forget you're staying next to a chaotic train station—until you step outside.
Beoordeeld door @molliechapman_: I stayed in this suite right next to Milano Centrale and was blown away by the massive private terrace. It felt like my own quiet rooftop in the middle of the city, perfect for unwinding after a long trip.

Reality check
The 'eco' heating/cooling system can be aggressive, turning off AC the second you leave the room, meaning you return to a stuffy box.
- You have an early train to catch and refuse to stress about traffic
- You care about your carbon footprint but still want 4-star comfort
- You need a serious gym with a view, not a basement dungeon

Veelgestelde vragen & Verborgen tips

It's a major train station area. It's generally safe but gritty; keep your wits about you and avoid unlit side streets after 11pm.
Does the AC really turn off when I leave?
Yes, it's part of their energy-saving protocol. The room cools down quickly upon return, but don't expect a fridge.
Is the breakfast worth €18?
Yes, if you like high-quality organic produce, fresh juices, and local cheeses. If you just want a croissant, go to a local bar for €3.
Can I open the windows?

Is there parking?
Yes, on-site/valet is around €45/day. Expensive, but secure.
Do they allow pets?
Yes, small/medium pets are welcome for a fee of roughly €35-40 per stay.

5 dingen die je moet weten voordat je gaat
💡The building was formerly the 'Hotel Splendido' before its eco-rebirth.
💡The lobby scent is a polarizing, heavy floral fragrance that hits you the moment you enter.
💡The 'eco' toilet flushing system uses recovered grey water—don't be alarmed if the water isn't crystal clear.
💡You are 3 minutes from 'Mercato Centrale,' a massive food hall that beats most tourist traps for a quick dinner.
💡The blackout curtains in some rooms have gaps; bring an eye mask if you need pitch blackness.
