We stayed here for 6 nights largely because excellent reviews we read on TripAdvisor. Unless you stay on the "executive floors", the service is not really that good. For example, we arrived early and asked for early check in. With some fees, that was possible. Without asking us they put us in smoking room although we did not know about it. During the middle of the night we woke up because dense smell of cigaret smoke coming through the vent. We complaint to the front desk about it, but their answer was that we did not specify on our reservation for non-smopking room. We are from US (the majority of people are non-smokers) and Hilton is American company, the front desk could have asked us whether smoking room is OK. By the way I am a Hilton HHonor elite member and stay at Hilton at least 4 times/year across the world. They do have our profile specifying "non-smoking room". After some argument, they moved us to a non-smoking room. Generally service was not that good. We had to use the same little bottle of shampoo and little bar soap for 2-3 days unless we called the front desk and ask for them. They did not change towels every day and despite our request, they forget to put wash rugs. When we complain to the front desk, a woman named Christina started argue with me and with my wife and said it is our fault. As you may guess from my other reviews, we are very friendly and not so fussy people. About location, many reviewers states that it is near the central station. Unless you wish to use rails everyday to go far, I am not sure why this is such a big deal. The station is dirty and full of 'scary looking' people sitting around. This hotel is far from the city center where Duomo, Gallaria, and castle are located (i.e., not walking distance away). Unlike what some reviewers stated, we did not find many good restaurants except one or two. The surrounding of the hotel is very quiet. It is great if you live in Milan but not if you wish to have good time for your vacation. Breakfast was OK. So unless you are in Milan for business and must stay here on executive floor, find a nicer hotel near the city center.
