Vico Fashion District

I booked this place thinking it was a hotel. But when I got there, it wasn’t. Very small spaces and rooms

We had two rooms that we rented for a weekend with friends. The place is odd as it is on the 5th floor of an extremely old building with both commercial and residential occupants. Hallways have not been cleaned for some time and there is an overwhelming smell of mold. The staff is quite personable but only there for a few hours each day. The rooms themselves have been modernized and refreshed, but again, ours was so moldy we had reactions. It was impossible to leave the windows open due to mosquitos which we assume were an ongoing problem as each room had bug killers in place. Not sure if we would stay there again. If you love steampunk, this place has an elevator for you!!!!!

This is a very funky hotel - but more hostel like. We had two rooms as we were hosting a newly wed couple of friends so we could all see Milan together. It is very old but not ‘clean old’. More like ‘mold old.’ Hallways to the building are communal. And dirty. There is a very pervasive mold smell throughout. The actual rooms are on a fifth floor. Ancient elevator or 5 flight walk up. Nice little balconies but a previous dog had pooped on our AstroTurf. It was cleaned up the second day. We had to ask for fresh duvet cover as there was dirt on ours. The staff come from 2-8 pm to man the desk. If you are a great independent traveller it is ok, but if you need help or store luggage etc. It can be challenging. Nice bits - coffee is provided. (No eating places very close on weekends). Clean water for drinking is through a central filtering machine and free of charge. Historic area. Near metro.
