Can anyone recommend a reasonably priced hotel in the centre of Milan - close to major tourist sights that is within easy access by taxi to Linate airport? For the middle of September.

I have been to Milan three times, though only one of those was an actual overnight - - partly because I found to quite difficult to select a good value hotel. I can only tell you about this one hotel, which I would describe as lackluster at best - - nothing wrong with it, but nothing memorable either. A satisfactory value in a city where value is hard to find<BR><BR>http://www.venere.com/it/milano/piacenza<BR><BR>Technically not IN the Centro Storico of Milan - - see map at the bottom of the webpage http://www.venere.com/it/milano - - but central enough, and of course, easily acecessible by taxi (but I don't know where would a hotel be &quot;in the centre&quot; and affordable and NOT easy accessible by taxi).<BR><BR>Best wishes,<BR><BR>Rex<BR>[email protected]<BR>

A question worthy of more answers, perhaps?<BR>

we stayed at the hotel manin. a nice hotel near the via della spiga and close to shopping district.

We really liked the Antica Locanda dei Mercanti. On a quiet side street near the Duomo. Very small rooms and baths, but divine beds &amp; linens. Breakfast not included, but served in your room upon request at extra $. We found it reasonable for Milan. Staff very helpful and English speaking if you care about that. They also responded to e mails &amp; res requests immediately.<BR><BR>Buon viaggio!

Thanks for the replies - especially Rex - will definitely look into them - I've never been to Milan before so any advice on hotels and places to visit gratefully received!!!

We stayed for one night at the London Hotel in Milan. It is 2 blocks from the Duomo and the staff was very nice. I think that it worked out to around $80 night 3 years ago. <BR><BR>Wendy
