Hotel Ramada Plaza by Wyndham Milano

Thank you so much to Gaia, Abba, Martin and the rest of the team at Ramada Plaza. Our family suite was large and expansive, including a living area, 2 balconies, a spacious bedroom with enormous bed, shower room and a kitchen which included a hob, dishwasher and even a microwave! The pool is a decent size and there is everything you would expect of a 4 star hotel at breakfast and more. One of the main stand-out facilities is the pool - a decent size and enough to cool off in the heat and just about big enough for children to have fun with their families. It is perfectly located on the outskirts of town and a 5 minute walk to the red line on the Metro which takes you too the Duomo in around 20 minutes. Locally there are a few excellent Italian eateries, but if you venture into the centre there will be more on offer. Close by there is a Carrefour, should you prefer to eat-in. Overall, Milan is a wonderful city. Very clean (clean toilets everywhere!) and much more affordable than London at present. In Milan there are many things to do, from canal trips to shopping and from here you can visit the stunning Lake Como (recommend) and we visited Bergamo, an ancient village on a hill, about 40mins away by train. there are many more places to see if you have time. Our flight was not until the evening and the staff looked after our belongings and let us have full access to the pool, with changing rooms to freshen up before departure. But the stand-out 5 star review is goes to the staff who could not be more welcoming and accommodating. We had originally booked 2 rooms but had to cancel one of them on arrival, and Abba in particular went out of his way to ensure we received a refund for the room from Expedia, who gave us the run-around somewhat. Thank you Abba, Gaia and the rest of the team!
