ibis Milano Centro
The lobby had a very strong floral scent thats overpowering. The rooms were very clean and beds were comfortable. The water pressure wasnt the greatest and the water kept going cold and hot while showering. Everything was fairly priced. But the scent of the libby when coming and going was what ruined ...

Hotel was in a good location. Single room was cozy, as expected, but the bathroom was spacious. Room also had a yoga mat and some weights, which was cute. Staff all very nice. I would stay here again, and I would recommend it.
