Loved the refined and upscale decor that had a Winston Churchill-esq feel. This was a 4+ hotel through and through! The front staff was also refined and organized and the little finishings for arrival were a pleasant treat (candy and short story) the art and historical presence was delightful and I wish we stayed longer to experience more of what the hotel and the surroundings had to offer. The pictures do not do this hotel justice as it is even better in person. The customer service was easily 5+ star, perhaps better than actual 5 star places I’ve stayed. we experienced gentle, genuine, and warmth from the staff that we (esp. Canadians) enjoy and truly appreciate at home and more importantly abroad. I highly recommend staying here if Milan is your destination or if you’re catching a flight or are traveling all over Italy like us. Also, it was a great bang for your buck and the breakfast was awesome with a great latte maker. It was very easily accessible to major roads/highway. they also had abundance parking free or 6Euro a day depending on where you decide to park. it was 10 mins to the airport and a gas station across the street to fill up for our car return. It was only a 15 drive to the Milan Duomo and 5 mins to the main city.

Hotel Santa Barbara is outstandingly good. I stayed there with my family on 29/12/2022 in a one bedroom apartment and we felt very comfortable. Room is large and comfy, with 2 smart tv and a large private balcony. The hotel staff is impeccably mannered, polite, professional and last but not least well dressed just as you'd expect in Milan :) There is a secure, spacious, gated parking lot in the backyard. Surrounding area San Donato is newly developed with modern residential and business buildings, very safe and pieceful. M3 San Donato is 15 minutes on foot away and takes you to Il Doumo directly in 25 minutes. Within 10 minutes on foot there is a large discount supermarket Essalunga and a cosy trattoria Nonna Emilia. Eni gas station across the street. Breakfast was rich in sweet pastries and fruit and very tasty. Outstanding value for the money! Highly recommended for family and business travelers alike!

Unfortunately no cheese at breakfast. This is my only remark because I personally love cheese so much. Un jour sans fromage est come un jour sans soleil ! :) Perhaps this has been occasional though, I don't know :)

I chose this hotel because it was conveniently located and a reasonable price for two nights in Milan between the train from Piacenza and the bus to Genoa. All the train stations are outside the centre of Milan and I discovered that staying on the outskirts is a preferable alternative to the centre, provided you are prepared to use the local metro, suburban trains and buses. It was excellent value for a 4 star hotel. Apparently it is mainly used by business people in the week and quieter at the weekends, when I was there. San Donato is a pleasant mix of beautifully designed modern office buildings and residential blocks with plenty of trees and green verges. Round the corner from the hotel are a number of places of eat and drink and a superb gelatieria called San Giuda which in October offered flavours such as chestnut, persimmon (from locally grown fruit), saffron and lavender as well as the more usual flavours. Having had a really good steak dinner at a good grill place the first night, I decided to try out the hotel restaurant the second night because the menu looked interesting and I wanted to eat some fish. I was not disappointed: the cooking was very good and not expensive for what it was. Two courses, two glasses of wine and a bottle of water, with bread, cost €38. The breakfast was excellent, with plenty of fruit, fruit smoothies, a vegetable juicer and a chocolate fountain!

Great location if you are in Milan with a car. To reach the Duomo, you can reach the metro San Donato in 5 minutos, park your car there in the metro garage (which is cheap and easy) and reach the Duomo easily. Park in the hotel is easy and cheap. Great breakfast with a lot of options. Room with good space for a family of 4 (2 kids). Nice bathroom. It is good to have a check at 1pm (better than most hotels).

Although superficial cleaning is good, looking a little bit more carefully it could be better. Under the bed and over the bed headboard there was a lot of dust.

It is a good hotel, high attention to detail and rooms are simply very good and large. Kids really liked it. Great facilities. Very friendly and caring staff at the reception - def big compliment. Good breakfast with lots of variety too.

Location is a bit somewhat remote, but def not a problem with a car - you can park it at the San Donato metro station which is reasonably priced (eur 1.5 for 5 hours) and visit any spot you want in Milan.

I was there for business, and the hotel is conveniently close to the offices. The check-in was quick, the employees were kind, the breakfast was full of choices (bacon and eggs, fruit, yogurt, muesli and cereal, ham and cheese, croissants, etc.). In general the hotel and the room were pretty nice.

Quiet and Rich Environment Quite Room with relaxing accessories Fridge with Drinks Well mannered staff Well dressed bed with chocolates

Lack of African food in the Hotel No Microwave in room No Bottled water in room

The breakfast was very good, not a big choice, but excellent. The private parking makes you feel that your car is safe, it's not obvious in Milan.

The gym was underground and the room too small: sorry I'm a bit claustrophobic. The restaurant is a bit expensive and the portions are small.

The breakfast was awesome,we decided to take the route back to our country to make the memories of especially the breakfast fresh ..lol

No food preparations for guest except in the morning

Breakfast nice and with many choices. Private, survayed parking available on the backside of the hotel.

The sofa bed was supposed to fit two children (7 and 10 years old) but was far too small and very uncomfortable. Thin mattress and you felt the hard strings in the back.
