Guest Reviews
Location
Additionally, the hotel also benefits from being near major highways, making it a suitable base for those planning to explore further afield or requiring easy access for onward travel. Despite being situated on the outskirts of Milan, the efficient public transport network negates the distance from the city center, making sightseeing trips manageable and straightforward.
The area around the hotel does cater well to concert-goers thanks to its close proximity to Fabrique. However, the location is less optimal for pedestrians as there are limited dining and shopping options nearby.
Overall, 'Novotel Milano Linate Aeroporto' is highly favored for its clean and spacious rooms, good breakfast options and accommodating staff. It stands out as a practical choice for airport transit, concert visits or as a quiet base to explore Milan.
Breakfast
The quality of the food is consistently highlighted with mentions of freshly baked products, savory and sweet options and a specific corner for coffee. The cozy breakfast room adds to the pleasant dining experience and the staff is often praised for being helpful and efficient during the morning rush. Despite the predominantly positive feedback, a few guests noted the early breakfast hours and occasionally high prices as minor drawbacks. Nonetheless, Novotel Milano Linate Aeroporto's breakfast is largely viewed as a standout feature, offering an excellent start to the day for travelers.
Dinner
However, the dining experience was marred by several downsides. Guests frequently commented on the high prices of meals, often indicating that the food quality and quantity did not justify the cost. The dinner buffet, priced at €30 per person, was criticized for being too expensive with buffet options not always warm and a limited menu that did not meet expectations for some visitors. Limited dinner options and early closing times were additional points of dissatisfaction.
While the restaurant serves decent and sometimes excellent cuisine, the inconsistency in food quality—with some describing it as mediocre or even terrible—left several guests underwhelmed. The lack of vegetarian and vegan options was also a concern. Moreover, some reviews mentioned unfriendly or unhelpful service, further detracting from the dining experience.
In summary, while the restaurant at Novotel Milano Linate Aeroporto has its strong points, particularly with its good ambiance and certain high-quality dishes, the overall dining experience seems to be hit-or-miss with high prices and occasional service and quality issues.
Rooms
However, some guests found the rooms outdated or in need of renovation with specific mentions of old furnishings, malfunctioning air conditioning and limited soundproofing. Issues such as dirty carpets, mold in the bathrooms and inconsistent room temperatures were reported, detracting from the overall experience. There were also complaints about small room sizes, especially in family rooms and instances of rooms not being properly cleaned or prepared upon arrival.
In summary, while the hotel offers a range of comfortable and well-furnished rooms with modern touches, it appears that maintenance and cleaning standards can be inconsistent and some facilities could benefit from updates and repairs. Despite these inconsistencies, the hotel's location and friendly staff add positively to the overall guest experience.
Beds
Nonetheless, there were occasional complaints about bed issues. Some guests found the beds and pillows uncomfortable, noting instances of broken bed frames or worn-out mattresses. Sofa beds seemed to attract the most criticism with reports of discomfort and inadequate setups. Despite these issues, the general sentiment reflected in the reviews is that the hotel excels in delivering a comfortable sleep environment, contributing positively to the overall guest experience.
Cleanliness
However, several reviews point out issues that require attention. Some guests encountered dust in their rooms, particularly on surfaces like the headboard and windowsills and there were instances of mold and dirt in the bathrooms. The carpets and some room furnishings appeared worn out to a few visitors. Specific issues such as dirty carpets, unclean toilets with limescale and occasional lingering odors were noted. Additionally, the early morning cleaning schedule disturbed some guests and there were complaints about the variability of the water temperature in the showers.
Despite these criticisms, reviews consistently affirm that, when it comes to the basics—like clean towels and the overall neatness of the rooms—the hotel meets general expectations. The spaciousness and modernity of some rooms also receive positive mentions, albeit tempered by occasional outdated features. While the cleaning standards sometimes fall short, the hotel still provides a decent level of cleanliness that many guests found satisfactory.
Staff
However, not all feedback was positive. Some reviews pointed out instances where staff members were less friendly, unprofessional or unhelpful. Specific areas such as housekeeping, evening shifts and the breakfast service occasionally faced criticism for their demeanor or efficiency. Despite these issues, the majority of reviews reflected a positive interaction with the hotel staff, emphasizing their supportive nature and commitment to ensuring a pleasant stay for guests.
Wi-Fi

Pool
However, the pool itself garnered a fair share of criticism. Guests frequently mentioned that the pool is small for the hotel's size, often becoming crowded at peak times. Issues with cleanliness were a recurring theme with reports of cloudy water, dirty edges and occasional lapses in maintenance. Some visitors also found the water to be uncomfortably cold and noted that it is not heated, which was particularly disappointing given the pool's inviting appearance.
The limited pool hours, closing as early as 7 pm, drew considerable frustration and the mandatory and somewhat pricey swim caps were an unwelcome surprise for many. There were also instances when the pool was not operational, further impacting the guest experience.
Despite these drawbacks, some guests highlighted that the pool is well-kept and a nice spot to cool off, especially on hot days. The accompanying bar and sun loungers added to its appeal as a relaxing outdoor retreat. Overall, while the pool area has its charms and offers potential for a pleasant stay, improvements in maintenance and operational hours could significantly enhance the guest experience.
Parking
However, some guests pointed out the limited number of free parking spaces, stating that they can fill up quickly. Paid parking is also available, though opinions here tend to be less favorable due to the cost. The charges for guarded and monitored parking are deemed high by several reviewers with fees ranging from €15 to €20 per day and hourly rates also mentioned. Despite these costs, the on-site parking is noted for being secure and convenient with options to park on the street for free if needed.
Additionally, a few guests reported instances of being unexpectedly charged for parking despite assurances of it being free, indicating a potential area for improved communication. Overall, while free parking is a strong point, the cost and limited availability of paid parking spaces present some challenges for visitors.

Despite the overwhelming positive feedback, some reviews pointed out minor inconveniences, such as small room sizes for larger families and the occasional lack of sufficient towels.
