I stayed in the Hotel Lloyd for 2 nights on a weekend in September 2005. Room and bath were clean and the bed and chairs were comfortable. Closet space was adequate for leisure or business travel. I was there on a combination of both. Hotel was quiet and security good as there was only one entrance and hotel keys are stored at the desk, which was staffed 24/7. No smoking rooms of course.

There were pay per view programs available of all types and venues to guests and there was one German TV channel and two or three English TV channels, with the rest in Italian.

Breakfast was quite adequate. Coffee/espresso,capucinno, latte machiatto, steamed milk and hot chocolate made to order. Water, juices, yogurts, jams, jellies, some cold meats, cheeses, breads, and croissants were served in a buffet presentation. A toaster was there as well. Room was a bit crowded but pleasant and quite lively.

Only drawback was the elevators. They were quite small but there were two.

My room faced the back of the hotel grounds on the sunny-side and was very quiet. The room had an air conditioning unit that was controlled by the guest.

Staff was pleasant and helpful - speaking beautiful Italian and very good English. Not sure about German. Most guests in the hotel were Italian but there were some Dutch and British guests.

Hotel was located between two Metro stops. You can walk about 10 minutes or less to the Dome. Neighborhood seemed fine but was more commerical than residential. Taxis come quickly if needed. There was a bar/club or two nearby but this was not the nightlife area.

Overall my stay was excellent, no complaints. The hotel was nice. Of course there are many more expensive and perhaps nicer hotels near the dome.

I paid 130 euros a night and in Milan for what I received -and the location - this hotel is a very good value. I would stay there again.

Just returned from Milan and stayed at Lloyd Hotel (approx. 8 minutes from Duomo) Excellent location, high standard of accommodation and huge breakfast. Staff very helpful. Tram stop opposite hotel after a long day sightseeing. Would recommend.

In a city the size of Milan it is hard to find a good value 4 star hotel that is right in the centre. It is 2 minutes from the Duomo square and I think the staff are very friendly. Be sure to ask for a room at the top as it can be a noisy city during the early morning. I think I paid about 120 dollars per night with --------. The breakfasts are huge, by Italian standards!

we were welcomed by a very cold female receptionist who responded to our questions (like how do we make a local call on our hotel phone or what time is breakfast) like we are the scum of the earth. breakfast the next morning we also encountered the de niro look alike who was super rude, doesn't smile when you greet him bon giorno & sighs very very heavily when we order our 2nd round of coffee (like it is a terrible chore to serve us or something like "why do these **** tourists have to drink so much coffee??!"). thirdly, the shower turns from hot to cold then cold to hot (so prepare to freeze then burn then freeze). next water pipes would rattle while we sleep. furthermore, my husband lost a t-shirt in our room. sometimes losses cannot be helped but the attitude of management was "sorry! we cannot help you! it's not our fault!" it's okay if they cannot find it, but at least try to pacify your guests or say something like "Oh i'm so sorry to hear that! we will do our best to look for it." blah blah blah. basically we felt like 2nd class citizens in a supposedly 4-star class hotel.
