Crowne Plaza in Milan Malpensa Airport, this was quite a positive surprise. I initially booked this Hotel just as a short overnight stay to start my journey from MXP, but, the Hotel was a positive surprise for me, and I’ll definitely go there again as soon as I find another deal from MXP which can’t take too long as MXP usually is one of the cheapest airports to depart from in Europe.
The hotel isn’t the newest, the outside seemed quite worn out, the reception area isn’t the newest as well. Anyways the rooms, when entering are clean and offer all the amenities you need for a short business stay. This includes a well-equipped working table, phone, fridge, and water heater. Also, some teas were offered as well as a tiny bottle of water. You can choose between double bed and two single beds; I went for the single bed option as I was travelling with a Friend. The room was big enough and it felt clean. The bathroom offered shower, bathtub as well as a BD. Of course, also a toilet and a sink were built in, but this, I absolutely expect from a hotel. Amenities for showering and soap were also ready for usage.
If you plan to have some business meetings, the possibility to iron your suit is also given. All in all, an extremely good offer. Also, parking is offered but I’m not sure on the pricing. Breakfast and Dinner can be booked in addition too, I didn’t as my flight left quite early, and I wanted to check out the lounge offerings. From what I could see, the food offering looked quite decent.
The rooms have big windows and offers air conditioning, but in my opinion, it wasn’t strong enough to keep the rooms at a cool temperature, in the hot summer months, this could be an issue.
Now, let’s talk about how to get to the hotel, by taxi it is quite expensive at 15€ each way, but you can also use the shuttle bus between terminal 1 and terminal 2 and exit at Casa Nuove. The bus is free, but you must walk on the dirty Italian roads for 5min until you reach the hotel. Also, I’m not sure if the hotel offered a shuttle service pre-covid as there have been mentioned shuttle services in the reviews by booking.com, anyways currently this offer isn’t available.
The price was decent at 87€ per night, not too cheap but given that I booked only 1 week in advance where all other hotels in the area have already put their prices to extremely high levels, this was good.
Concluding, just a perfect hotel for what I used it for, pricing is fine, I’ll definitely come back if I need to depart from MXP in the morning hours.
