Hotel Sanpi Milano - Milano, Italy 

"Beautiful Modern Hotel"
Posted: Mon, Nov 23 2009
The Hotel Sanpi (Sampi) is a beautiful hotel with a modern decor. We were amazed at the spacious room and the superb breakfast. The buffet had scrambled eggs and bacon for Americans if they wanted that choice along with the usual continental items. The reception staff and the staff in the breakfast room were superb hosts. In the evening, a glass of wine on the outdoor patio was just the thing after a day of being a tourist. Perhaps the walk to the subway is more than some would prefer, but that is about the only objection to this hotel

Excellent price/benefit ratio. Clean rooms, polite staff, good location close to metro. One negative point is the Internet pricing. Almost 10 Euro / hour is not acceptable.

Nice hotel. Clean rooms and at beautiful garden. The breakfast room was a little bit noisy but the breakfast was ok.

Really just a three star hotel

The problem with the Sanpi is that it’s not really a 4 star hotel --- on paper it somehow qualifies, but the bar is tiny, the concierge is the front desk clerk, the internet network barely works (and there’s no support/technical help to call), etc. Rates I think can be reasonable, but the hotel creates higher expectations and then fails to deliver. Furnishings in the single and standard rooms are very bland and dated. Even the superior rooms are unimpressive, to cite one example their bathrooms have no tile or stone but painted walls and floors, and no bathtub but a small plastic shower. I believe there are a handful of interesting rooms in an historic building in the courtyard, but chances are you won’t be in one of these. The location is reasonably convenient though not particularly charming. The staff is friendly, and the breakfasts are good. But the hotel owners need to live up to their marketing and upgrade this hotel.
