Antares Hotel Rubens

The hotel is in walking distance from San Siro stadium and within a 3 minute walk to the Metro which makes it very easy to get in to the centre of Milan. However, area appears quite run down with lots of graffiti and litter. The hotel itself said it is 4*, however, due to the facilities and service available it appeared more basic. The bathrooms had been modernised but there was mould around the bath. The rooms were clean and adequate with tea and coffee making facilities. There was a fridge with a few basic items for sale. The bed was extremely hard and the rooms were very noisey at night due to the trams and other street noise. None of us got a lot of sleep during the three nights. The TV in the room only had Italian Chanel’s and did not offer Netflix or any extras. The reception staff were friendly and helpful and there was a bar that opened at 4.30pm. The bar lacked atmosphere, did not have as friendly staff and was very expensive compared to restaurants bars in the centre of Milan. There was a very limited food menu. We paid an extra 150 euros for breakfast for the 3 nights for the 4 of us. The first 2 mornings we were up early (around 7.30) and managed to get breakfast which again was ok, not anything special. Last morning we went at 9, it was complete chaos, couldn’t get a seat, when we did we couldn’t sit as a family no plates despite asking 3 members of staff and not very much left to eat and they could not replace items quick enough. Really poor offering for 50e.

Great familyrooms, great service.
