Hotel Riviera

Curtious staff, location close to Linate airport, reasonable price.

Pros *Front desk person who works until 11pm was upfront about hotel’s limitations except he should have mentioned that the AC shuts down automatically at 1 AM. He was nice and his limited English was ok. * Compared with hotels in the area, this was perhaps the least expensive in Italy’s most expensive city. * WiFi was reliable * 5 min drive to Linate airport with no traffic Cons * Door broken from inside room. Would not bolt lock. * Old dirty sock found in corner * Musty smell overall * A/C shuts off automatically at 1 AM. This should have been disclosed at the beginning. * Graveyard attendant who presumably starts his shift at 11 PM was lying on lobby couch evidently asleep when I went in there twice. First was at 1:30 AM when I noticed the room AC was shut off. Second time was at 4:30 AM when I followed up to confirm taxi was called for 5 AM. * seems to be poor communication between night attendant and graveyard attendant. If you are on a budget and don’t mind attempting to navigate public transportation (which is confusing even with GPS) and can put up with a musty smell, stay here but not more than 1 night! Caveat emptor.

Our door to the room was jammed and the knob was not working, temperature control in the room was broken, dustbins not cleared and smelling.......I asked the afternoon shift incharge if we can change the room and he refused, breakfast was very average. Only plus side it's close to LIN airport

Good staff , we where kindly helped by Simone from the front desk, always there to help with a smile , hotel is located 2 bus stops from the airport, costs 2,20€ Per 90 min of public transport use . This is enough to get you to milan with the 73 bus , very cheap if your on a budget .overall breakfast is also good.

Hotel staff are very kind and room is very clean! There is free parking place if you come by a car.

Good location near airport. We planned to spend the night before an early flight. The air conditioning did not work, so it made for a sweaty night. The staff tried to help out, but did not have any portable fans and could not fix the air conditioning. They were able to offer a single bed in another room for one of our three-person party, and they made us an early breakfast, so they really tried to come through, but it was still an unpleasant and mostly sleepless night before a long day of travel, so I can't really recommend the place.

Good quality, close to the airport but only 1 shop and 1 restaurant nearby. Area under construction right now, but should improve. The staff is pleasant and helpful.
