Oh dear...... Great location without a doubt, friendly staff, a comfy bed but my goodness if anywhere has been 'over designed' this is it. The worst thing is, it has been desigend without the guest in mind. Lighting so dark you can't see where you are, no drawer space, electric sockets hidden away and none anywhere near a mirror. Crappy... more

Hotel Straf is a cool, young and trendy hotel. We had a good stay for a romantic getaway for shopping in Milan.Its stylish and the staff are friendly. Nice presentable breakfast and a cool pulse bar. But it's not luxurious or elegant. The room was small, but had a great bed and a aromatherapy area. Bathroom was cool with some... more

I do a lot of business travel and have stayed in many hotels. The Straf was one of my most disappointing hotel experiences. My main issue were the hotel rooms; I’ve never stayed anywhere that made me feel so uncomfortable. Everything in the room was black including the bathroom suite. The décor was cold, sterile, over designed and awkward. There... more

My husband and I stayed at Hotel Straf in September and we were pleasantly surprised. We were a bit worried after reading some of the reviews complaining about all the concrete and the dark walls, but after we walked into our hotel room we were able to let go of our fears. I work in the luxury hotel industry and... more

We stayed here for a couple of nights in February and absolutely loved it. The hotel is close to the main department stores and right on the square.

This hotel is in a great location right next to the Duomo and the major shopping area. However the decor felt very cold, and somewhat over-designed. Concrete walls and concrete floors and lots of mirrors meant that it all seemed rather impersonal. Although the bathroom was wonderful in burnished brass. Breakfast was very good and the staff helpful and friendly.... more

Expensive for what you get in quality, but it is at a great location right next to the Duomo and the major shopping area. Rooms were tiny and decor felt cold. Will opt for other hotel next time. more

330 euros a night and they don't supply an iron. Guests are instead advised to leave their creased garments out for the laundry service at 9am and you'll have them back by 8pm. No use if you're staying one night and at 8 euros an item, expensive. I walked about Milan creased for 2 days out of principle. Further evidence... more

Just come back from a three day shopping trip to Milan with my daughter. I was a bit afraid booking the Straf, we usually stay in classic hotels but I wasn't disappointed! If you are going to Milan for shopping, it's the perfect spot : close to corso vittorio emmanuele, just across the street you have an entrance to the... more
