Teco Hotel

Loved this hotel that was charming and clearly well-loved. I arrived a sweaty mess after walking from the Centrale train station (don't recommend that!) and the lovely young man who checked me in took pity and got me into the room a little early. Despite being more boutique, there is a well-functioning elevator so no worries if you have a room on the third floor and a big roller bag, as I did. I was given room 301, which is one of the solo accomodations and a very rare find in Milan. The room is beautifully decorated with lovely touches and attention to detail, like the varnished woodwork and marble bathrooms. A lot of thought went into making this an elegant and polished hotel that is also well-maintained and cared for. My room was clean and well appointed, including a mini fridge and kettle, and space to settle into. The bathroom was larger than I might have hoped and included a bidet as well as toilet, plus a full shower. The water pressure was great and there was plenty of hot water should you need it, as well as counter space around the sink. Breakfast was also an elevated experience, with a wide array of food types to choose from. There were very elaborate and delicious pasteries, meats and cheeses, plenty of fruit and even hot beverages made to order. The attendants were friendly and efficient and the breakfast room well appointed and stocked. The area in which the hotel resides is very convenient to the subway system, being near the Lima a Porta Venezia stops. I walked to the Duomo, which took about 35 minutes or so and was a pleasant way to get to know the city. There are a variety of restaurants nearby as well as a little grocery store very close to the hotel too. All said, my only gripe is that I was only here for one night and I certainly hope to be back again in the near future!
