Demidoff Hotel - Milano, Italy 

I went to milan with my mother and sister inlaw and stayed at the Demidoff for three nights, it was ideally situated but unfortunately there were several downfalls. Not enough cutlery or tables and chairs for breakfast, constantly asking for pastries to be replenished, which was done reluctantly. Air conditioning was non excistent and with the temperature at 37 degress the rooms were unbearable. Not enough towels to go round the hotel. Dont take any electrical goods as if you leave them in your room they will come along and take them away with out any explanation and when challenged there answer is they experience black outs if electrical goods are used with an adapter!! They do have a plentiful supply of mosquitos. My advice book somewhere else

My husband and i have just returned from a 3 night stay at the Demidoff Hotel. The hotel looks nice on entering, and the reception staff were very helpful with info etc. The rooms are basic and in need of a bit of modernization, but the bathroom was clean with towels changed daily. The air conditioning only worked when the hotel decided so on the first night due to the heat and a window being opened, my husband and i were eaten alive by mosquitos. The breakfast was worse than terible!!! It has won a prize for the most unfriendly poe faced waitress and stale sparce food. When we asked for another coffee we were asked to pay, and once the food had run out it was not replaced leaving only a basket with a few stale rolls and packets of biscuits. This really lets the Hotel down as it leaves you feeling annoyed by the attitude of the waitress who appears to go out of her way to be unfriendly and unhelpful. It is located in a good position and not too far to even walk to the centre, which we did several times during our stay. I would not stay here again and would pay the extra for a 4 star as in our opinion this hotel only qualifies as a 2 star
