Hotel Vittoria

Prós: This a nice small hotel with a posh interior decor reminiscent of 19th century. You can enjoy your nightcap in a charming small bar room of the same style. The location is close to the center (20 min non-boaring walk, 5 min taxi drive for 8-10 Euro, or take a tram). The breakfast is not too fancy, but quite fair. If you arrive late and want to have a dinner somewhere near the hotel, do take advantage of a restaurant a few steps away across the street. It appears to be very popular among local people. The place has a good menu at a fair price and excellent choices for break oven pizzas.

Contras: Rooms on a smallish, but this is quite expected for a hotel of this size near the center of Milan---cannot really complain; just a note.
