Maison Borella enjoys a fantastic location in the Navigli district, with many guests appreciating the lively atmosphere and easy access to the canal and nearby restaurants and bars. It's often mentioned as a beautiful property, with rooms described as spacious and well-decorated, some offering pleasant courtyard or canal views. The hotel restaurant, Bugandé, receives high praise for its excellent food and professional service; however, some guests have found the breakfast to be somewhat lacking in fresh bread or savory options. many find it a perfect base for exploring Milan, with the Duomo within a manageable walk and public transport readily available.

fantastic canal-side experience!

the room had a lovely size and felt well appointed. breakfast offered a good buffet spread with varied options. the hotel was clean, and the staff members were consistently friendly. the location along the canal was amazing, providing easy access to many restaurants.
the street noise was quite intense, continuing until late at night. even with closed windows, the noise was still noticeable, requiring earplugs.
