Hotel Gran Duca Di York is an artistic establishment in the heart of Milan, set in an 18th century historic palace with a display of period frescoes in the hall.

All other landmarks in Milan are easy to reach, thanks to the great proximity of the Hotel Gran Duca Di York to the city's efficient transport system.

Of course, I looked at the hotel's ratings when making my reservation through Booking.com, but I really did not expect to encounter such a good hotel. The fact that the drinks and chocolate in the minibar in the room are complimentary (and every single day), the aperitivo service is free every day starting at 18.00, the breakfast is great, the location is perfect, the cleanliness, the friendly and helpful staff make this hotel the best hotel I have stayed in Europe so far :) Extraordinary. It deserves every penny. The price-performance balance is excellent. Thanks for everything.

Friendly staff, who were happy to give local restaurant suggestions, like around Via Fiori Chiari. This was an old-fashioned hotel, typical of many you find in Italian cities. The price compared to more modern boutique or designer-branded Milan hotels was very competitive.
