Ca' GrandeEditor's Pick

Reviewed by EuroCheapo.com Editors email this page

The one-star Hotel Ca’ Grande is an adorable and affordable oasis in the heart of Milan’s University district. Beyond a rather characterless boulevard awaits a sweet family-run property with a quiet garden.

The Hotel Ca’ Grande’s 18 rooms are mid-sized and decorated in blue. Furniture is a mishmash of utilitarian desks and beds and some funky accents and framed prints. All rooms are outfitted with air conditioning, a television and phone.

Although not new, the bathrooms (some private and some shared) are sizable and scrubbed clean.

The reception at the Hotel Ca’ Grande has a faded, 1970’s quality to it, with granite tiles, vintage movie posters and once bold colors. Even the bar and breakfast room, with its yellow tiles and café tables, brought back memories of a family’s sun-drenched parlor, faded but lovingly cared for.

Most of all, though, we admired the Hotel Ca’ Grande’s shaded garden.

Breakfast is included in the room rate. The Hotel Ca’ Grande offers a free Internet station and free Wi-Fi throughout.
