 Although we chose the hotel for its location the area around the station is really not very nice and we would not have liked to walk through it at night with our children There are lots of young men hanging around outside and there was some police action when we were walking back from the underground station after visiting the Duomo 
 The hotel is very conveniently located near Milan s Central train station which was the primary reason we chose it The hotel initially seems a little tired and dated but the staff were helpful and friendly and the rooms were clean and comfortable Showers in particular were excellent Breakfast was included in our room rate and was very good
