Travellers to Northern Italy must not miss out on the posh fashion capital of Lombardy - Milan. The city is a hotspot for travellers who want to enjoy Italian art, cuisine, historically important architecture gems, and shopping. Despite Italy not being a too expensive destination, in comparison with those in Northern and Western Europe, Milan is not a place for cheap travel. If you like dining in fancy traditional Italian restaurants, experiencing a luxurious shopping spree in Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, and sleeping in romantic quality top star hotels, prepare a massive budget for Milan. There are tons of ways to spend money here, especially if you are into the latest fashion trends. However, it’s possible to visit Milan on a low budget. Experience a stay at Hotel Medea - one of the most affordable hotels in the fashion capital.
The hotel is located in a well connected area
Located just a 10-minute walk from the Milano Dateo Train Station, Hotel Medea is well connected to the main attractions of Milan as well as other nearby stations. From Milan central station, you can easily catch bus 90, 92, or tram 5, where in just 20 minutes it’ll lead you to the stop within a 5 minute walk away from the hotel. The famous Duomo - Milan Cathedral is just a 10 minute drive, or 20 minute ride away with public transportation. Milan Linate Airport is also a 10-minute drive from Hotel Medea, and there isA a bus stop offering links to the city centre just 100 meters (328 feet) away.
They offer amazing deals for a decent hotel
I booked a one night stay in a female 5-bed dorm for as low as 10 EUR (roughly 11.3 USD), excluding the 3 EUR (about 3.40 USD) city tax that is to be paid when checking in. During the mid or high seasons, the price per dorm bed can go up to 20 USD if you book in advance, but this is still fairly cheap in comparison to the other hotels offered in Milan. Keep in mind that hostel rooms in Milan have similar or higher price ranges than this. Some offer lower quality facilities than what you’d normally expect from a low-budget accommodation.
Their facilities are a great value for travellers
Offering a perfect combination of comfort and modern decor, this hotel has 10 rooms including 1 basic single private room, basic twin private rooms, basic double bed private rooms, basic 3-bed private rooms, a 4-bed dorm, and 5-bed dorms. Every room is equipped with a private bathroom, television, and telephone. Hotel Medea offers free Wi-Fi throughout, and rooms are provided with a satellite flat-screen TV. Lockers inside the rooms are not available, but feel free to ask the staff to secure your important belongings.
Several details to keep in mind upon your booking
There are a few things to keep in mind before booking: payment upon arrival is only accepted by cash, and the city tax is not included in your reservation. Though, one of the receptionists does not speak English so well, she is very friendly and eager to help with your luggage as well as check-in and check-out procedures. There’s no key for the main entrance to the hotel, but the 24-hour reception is usually available to open the door for you. It’s also possible to leave your luggage for few hours after checking out. Do make sure the staff is kept informed about your belongings left there.
