“Palazzo Cordusio's grand Milan stay, disputes”

Palazzo Cordusio Gran Meliá – The Leading Hotels of the World is a beautiful upscale Milan hotel — a restaurant terrace with Duomo views three minutes' walk away, a nice desk, first-class facilities, a bookable pool, and a decent buffet. Two severe dissents stand: one guest calls it a trap — recommended services presented as free were billed at checkout, plus a broken faucet and tiny shower flow; another reports a nightmare — rumbling metro lines beneath from 5am to 11pm, mostly untrained amateurish staff, no ground-floor entrance or lobby (check-in five floors up in a one-sofa corridor), a pay-to-sit bar, a converted-room gym, hospital-smelling sheets, and a towel that inflamed eyes.
