From the outside it doesn't look that way, but inside it's brand new. The bed is really nice, and the shower is amazing! Impeccable, as with brand new hotels, and it has hard floors rather than carpets, which makes it more so. Wired Internet in the room (untested) but no wifi. Wifi was available free of charge (and unsecured) in the lobby and bar. Hamburger was awful (who orders a hamburger in Milan anyway) but the rest of the food seemed overpriced. Milan in August shuts down, so judging the area is difficult, but it has a subway station 1 min away.
