Aladin - Milano, Italy 

Our room in The Aladin was small and compact, but well appointed. The bathroom was a bit cramped, but it was very clean. The staff cleaned every day, and everything is well maintained. The staff were very helpful with information regarding places to eat, grocery shop, post office, wash laundry, take trams... etc. The staff also provided very punctual wake-up calls. We found the service excellent and the cleanliness excellent. There were double doors from the room to a small balcony, and this provided the best system of air-conditioning. The hotel is within a five minute walk of the train, bus, and tram.

We have stayed a number of times at the Aladin. It's cheap, clean and cheerful. It is a good walk away from the tourist areas, but it is well placed for public transport. The rooms are fairly small, but honestly, at the prices they charge, one would be petty to complain. Friendly and helpful staff.
