Hotel is somewhat dated
Not near city center
Streets chaotic from close proximity to train station
Rooms don’t have enough electrical outlets
Due to its close proximity to Milan Central station, ADI Doria Grand Hotel is an ideal option for guests looking to travel. It’s a short walk from this upper-middle-range property to a variety of transportation options, from high-speed international trains to the local metro system. Being in such a major hub, the streets near the ADI Doria are bustling, but the area generally lacks charm. The hotel itself is a bit dated, while the rooms are adequate, clean, and spacious. It’s a venue best suited for business travelers and those stopping in Milan briefly.

Scene
Old-fashioned and disconnected, with borderline gaudy common spaces
The common areas at the ADI Doria are not understated. The lobby borders on gaudy with patterned marble floors, lacquered wooden furnishings and details, and tapestry-like upholstered furniture. The space lacks cohesiveness and looks a bit dated, and ultimately isn’t the most inviting common area though it's still bearable. The exterior of the building is nothing to write home about either. It generally seems that guests who are staying here didn’t book the hotel for its amenities or modern decor, but rather for its proximity to the rest of Milan. The venue’s most suitable for business travelers and those in the city for only a few days.
Location
Near Milan Central station and metro lines; unexciting area otherwise
The ADI Doria is in an ideal location for guests looking to be near public transportation options, as the property is a short walking distance from Milan Central, the city’s largest train station, and three metro lines. Linate Airport is only about a 15-minute drive southeast from the hotel, which also offers a shuttle for a small fee. The surrounding area is not all that spectacular, and most attractions in Milan are just a metro stop away.
Rooms
Quiet rooms, clean bathrooms, and dated decor
The ADI Doria’s 124 rooms mirror the style of the common spaces, with upholstered walls, shiny dark wood furniture, and marble tabletops and bathrooms. There aren’t any notable features that set these units apart from other hotel rooms besides how quiet they are. All units are soundproofed; the fabric on the walls probably contribute to their effectiveness. Free Wi-Fi and flat-screen TVs are also on hand. The rooms lack electrical outlets and the hotel has guests turn in their room keys whenever leaving. The beds are firm -- some may say too firm based on personal preference -- but the bathrooms are covered in marble and are bright and spacious. There's also a special Jazz Junior Suite with art and photography paying tribute to icons like Josephine Baker and Charles Mingus.
Features
Free breakfast and adequate meeting and conference rooms
The hotel offers a free breakfast to guests every morning, which is comprised of all the basic continental breakfast fare like hard-boiled eggs, pastries, coffee, and other simple foods. The hotel restaurant Il Capriccio serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner, but is only open on select days, while the bar and lounge Caffè Doria features live jazz on Tuesdays and Thursdays. There are three meeting rooms and a conference room that’s geared toward business travelers, and the hotel has a six-story parking deck that guests can use for a fee. Small pets are allowed.
