We booked our trip with the priority of visiting Lake Como, Bellagio etc. We added two nights at the end of the trip in Milan before our flight home and left booking our accommodation til last. I didn’t have high expectations at all, especially since most of the service around Lake Como was pretty average. I was also reluctant to book this hotel as it was very new at the time of booking with no reviews etc. By far this was the best hotel we stopped in on our trip and felt the value was great! Alexandra & Simona on the front desk need a special mention. On check in, despite a queue slowly forming behind us, Alexandra was really patient in giving us 10/10 customer service helping us get accustomed with the area so we could maximise our time exploring before our room was ready. We were able to leave the bags at the hotel for free during this time. My partner also got in touch with the hotel in advance as we got engaged earlier in our trip. For comparison, we stayed in a 5 star hotel in Bellagio on the night of the engagement who knew about it all through my partner’s planning but did no special touches etc. I guess it is not a given but it’s a special touch… meanwhile NH Corso pulled out all the stops! We had a complimentary room upgrade (205) and were welcomed to balloons, confetti, fruit and a personalised message in the room! It was such a special touch! Alexandra also recommended a delicious local bakery called Pattini which is great for breakfast if you don’t have it included like us. For the hotel room itself, since it is a new hotel, it is very modern, clean and functional. Nice little touches like lighting in the wardrobe, a nice big mirror, hooks to hang up your jackets etc. It sounds a bit pedantic bUt it all made it such a comfortable stay! They have amenities you can request from the reception too but they are sustainable in considering wastage etc which is nice to see! My only tiny feedback would be the seal on the shower door isn’t fixed properly which caused the bathroom to get wet quickly, Im sure they can fix this quickly though :) the bar in the hotel lobby also looks great but we didn’t get chance to try. The hotel is a good location to the train station but it is still a 15 min walk, so keep in mind if you have a lot of luggage. Definitely doable though like we did! The area zona Buenos Aires is lovely and lots of shops around for an evening stroll. We went to the Portobello restaurant approx 10 min walk away which I would recommend. All in all definitely consider this hotel, especially when you look at the price compared to other £££ ‘central’ hotels as this is located super close to a subway station which makes transport so easy.
Excellent
