I am thinking of staying at the Hotel Cervo in Malpensa the night before my flight. However, I have a concern about potential noise given it is so close to the airport. Has anyone stayed there and can comment on how noisy it is to sleep in it?

I have not stayed at that particular hotel, but did stay at another close to Malpensa. One of the best things I did a few years ago was to buy a small, portable &quot;sound machine&quot; (or 'white noise' machine) from Hammacher Schlemmer for about $40. I take it every time I travel, and if I end up in a noisy hotel, I just turn it on. It really helps to drown out any outside noise. I used it the night before my flight home from Italy and slept like a baby. Ear plugs are also a great thing to take along.<BR><BR>Anyway, I know this doesn't help you with your question about the hotel, but I thought I'd pass along what helped me. Enjoy your trip!

I thought this hotel was in Milan itself?

This hotel is at Malpensa airport between the two terminals. Check www.hotelcervo.it<BR>Unfortunately, apparently no one has stayed in it that reads these forum! No one has posted a reply to my question. Oh well....

I stayed there 2 years ago for an evening before an early fight out. I can't remember being kept awake by noise--the building is relatively new and pretty sound-tight once you close the window and turn on the the AC. And I'm a VERY light sleeper. The propritors are very friendly. The area surround it is NOTHING to look at...I took a walk looking for something of interest. But for a night before a flight, it was a good deal.

well bob the navigator rec. it to me on another post and he usually has pretty right on advice. Our flight doesn't leave til 10am so I think we are going to stay in Milan since we have time to train out in the morning. Good luck!

We have reserved a room for our first and last nights flying in and out of Milan. Don't know when you plan to be there but if it's after May 23-June 2 will let you know what we think
