Grand Hotel Duca di Mantova in Sesto San Giovanni

Comfy bed. Hotel wall paper was peeling. Could hear rooms either side talking almost like they were in the same room. Cold food at breakfas

Room wasn’t that great, just average. Lights were too dim and one light bulb blew after I’ve moved in.

This hotel is located on an upper floor of what feels like a deserted complex. There's a spiral driveway leading up, but guests usually don't use it, making it really hard for first-time visitors to find the entrance, especially at night. When I arrived late at night to see an exhibition in Milan, I drove around three times, asked two people for directions, and still couldn't find it. On my third loop, I finally met a local who pointed the way. It was so complicated! Why don't they clearly mark how to get to the hotel? It's incredibly inconvenient! Maybe it's easier to find during the day, but at night, once I finally found the way, it felt like I was entering a horror movie scene. Why would a hotel choose such a location?! The next day, when checking out, there was no elevator directly down to the ground floor for a taxi. I had to walk down the spiral road! It was a terrible experience! I strongly advise against staying at this hotel; it's genuinely frustrating.
