“Besides the beautiful artwork, the hotel is beaitiful, has a great outdoor bar area for apertivo and appetizers. Best location feet from Duomo, GalleriaVittorio Emmanuele and next to great restaurants and shops. They breakfasts are wonderful and they have a juice machine either a great selection of fruit. Amazing hotel! And they all speak English as well which is a huge help for my extremely limited Italian. I highly recommend this hotel for its beautiful accommodation and the wonderful staff.”

“We had the best hotel stay at the STRAF Hotel in Milan. The location is perfect, the service is excellent, and the rooms are beautifully designed. Breakfast was a real highlight, with amazing service and the best freshly squeezed juices. The spa was splendid, and what truly stood out was the unbelievably quick response to every guest need or request. A special thank you to Christina at reception, whose professionalism and warm hospitality made our stay absolutely wonderful and truly unforgettable. Highly recommended! Marat and Inna”

“Fantastic location for a short stay in Milan - right at the heart of the City. Cathedral at your door step and all the designer outlets so you can shop till you drop if you want. Plenty of ice cream and restaurants to keep you motoring. Best to stroll across to the department and head to the roof top bar/ restaurant to get a good view of the Cathedral and square whilst having a cool drink. The hotel itself is fine - location is the key benefit. This is not the Hyatt - don’t expect the communal spaces, lounge etc or refined rooms.”

“The location was incredible, right across from the Duomo and connected to the most gorgeous shopping center! The room was clean, modern and had everything we needed, including a clothing steamer and portable speaker. There were so many delicious restaurants and gelato shops. The hotel service was incredible! And our housemaid even went so far as to chase me down the street after she discovered I left my bag phone in our room after checkout! An absolute perfect experience!”

“We stayed here while on our honeymoon and everything about our experience was perfect. From the moment we arrived Victoria and the staff made us feel right at home. The location is perfect for exploring Milano, and while you are in the center of the city the rooms are still very quiet and the hotel feels quite calm. We will remember this experience for a very long time and we cannot wait to return.”

“We had a wonderful long weekend stay at STRAF with my significant other. The hotel is in an excellent central location, making it very easy to explore the city and enjoy everything downtown Milan has to offer. Despite being so centrally located, our room was not noisy at all, which made our stay even more comfortable. The rooms and common areas were very clean, and the hotel’s unique, modern design really stood out. It has a stylish and contemporary feel that makes the experience feel special. The staff were also very polite, welcoming, and helpful throughout our stay, which made everything even more enjoyable. Overall, we had a great experience and are already looking forward to visiting again. We would happily recommend STRAF to anyone visiting Milan.”
