"Near Linate airport and little else" Sheraton Diana Majestic Hotel Milan Tip by baronedivandastad

I got a room (actually, a suite) in this strange hotel on a cold February night after my flight from Linate was cancelled due to fog. My travel agency thought it would be a good idea to send me there as I had to catch a flight at 8 am the following morning. The fact that it was the only hotel available anywhere near the city also helped in the choice.

So I took a taxi there - the trip from Linate took about 15 minutes at 9 pm. The welcome at the reception was polite and rather fast. I was hungry so I asked whether there is a restaurant around - they told me there isn't any within walking distance. However, they promptly offered me to call a pizza delivery service, which worked fine and fast. The pizza was also good.

The suite I was assigned was furnished in style, spacious and quiet. However, the heating system did not function too well.

The breakfast buffet was average, but the staff was friendly. The price wasn't low at all, even considering that I was booked in a suite. It's worth noting that the trip back to the airport took almost half an hour during the morning rush hour (the tangenziale was totally stuck).

Unique Qualities: Very close to Linate (Milan's second airport).
