 Being near the Train Station there tend to be more transient people You need to watch your surroundings but in general it is safe if not a beautiful part of Milano although the station building is quite impressive 
 the location across the piazza from the Milano Train Station is very convenient if you are traveling by train since it is 5 10 min from the station There is also easy access to the subway lines The breakfast was above average and the complimentary light snacks during the evening cocktail hour were a great treat
