Positive Reviews
positive:
Close to tram that takes you to Milan's centre
Though not all that close to Milan's main attractions, about 25 minutes' away on foot, there is a tram stop very nearby and this can be used, together with the metro, to get into the centre relatively quickly. Business people seemed to be satisfied with this, tourists somewhat less so.
positive:
Great option when visiting Bocconi University
Bocconi University virtually across the road from the university, and the many guests attending events there say it is the ideal hotel for this purpose.
positive:
Fast and reliable Wi-Fi a boon
Considering the D'Este Hotel is very popular with business travellers Wi-Fi is perhaps a bit more important than usual. Guests were happy to report that the Wi-Fi was both consistently available and fast, so they never need to worry about not being able to send that important email.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Peculiar narrow rooms failed to impress
Though not all rooms are of this style, guests staying in the narrow rooms did not really seem to care for the layout, describing it as odd. They would have been more comfortable in a room with a conventional shape.
negative:
Not ideal for tourists
The hotel does indeed tout itself as ideal for business people, rather than tourists, and guests tend to agree. Sightseers felt that they would have been happier with a more central hotel.
negative:
Questionable value for money
Even guests who didn't have any major issues with the hotel where not entirely convinced they got a good deal. Many feel the price-quality ratio is worse than they are used to.
