This is a design hotel, and it shows. Clean lines, modern style. It's very Milano, the design centre of Italy (perhaps the world). I liked the look of the room, but style and function aren't always in sync. I had to climb under a table to find what is I think the only electrical outlet in the room to charge my electronic devices. But they do provide a Bluetooth speaker for guests to use. Some things were counter intuitive, where light switches are, for example. And the lovely rain style showerhead is strategically located so that it's impossible to take a complete shower without wetting your hair. There is a stylish bench and a matching Ottoman, but no chair. The location however is ideal if you want to shop or visit the Duomo. Wi-fi signal is good. Would prefer a connection that requires a password, but that's a quibble. Breakfast is pretty standard, soy milk is on offer for cereal and coffee. Fruit is fresh and good quality. The staff are friendly and helpful.
