About

Il Giramondo

Il Giramondo sits directly on Piazza Duca D'Aosta, in the commercial heart of Milan's eastern station district. It's a 3-star guest house rather than a full-service hotel, which keeps things simple: rooms, a lift, and a vending machine for snacks and drinks when you need something quick.

The trade-off for the location is a modest overall rating of 5.5 from 866 reviews. Guests consistently praise the staff and the position, while scores for rooms and value hover around 5. The rooms themselves are described as clean and comfortable, with a mix of private and shared bathroom options.

In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

3 reasons to book
  • Unbeatable location for trains and metro — Il Giramondo sits across from Milano Centrale, Milan's main railway station, with metro lines and buses on the doorstep. Guests repeatedly highlight how easy it is to arrive, depart, and explore the city.
  • Friendly, helpful staff — Reviewers describe the team as amicable, amiable, and professional. One guest noted the staff resolved a payment issue calmly, while another praised their knowledge of the business.
  • Clean, comfortable rooms — Despite modest room scores, guests consistently call the rooms clean, tidy, and comfortable. Several mention spacious rooms and comfortable beds, with some enjoying city views.

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Rooms and value score below average — The guest house earns a 5.3 for rooms and 5.1 for value, lower than the overall rating. This suggests basic furnishings and a price that guests feel is slightly high for what's offered.
  • Shared bathrooms in some rooms — Several room types come with shared bathroom facilities, which some travellers may find inconvenient. Reviews confirming shared bathrooms are common.
  • Strict no-pets policy — Pets are not allowed at Il Giramondo, so travellers with animals will need to look elsewhere.
