Thread: Malpensa Airport Hotel

Jan, Here is a website with good instructions for how to take the Malpensa Express train into Milan. - Roz

I've been meaning to write up my trip report/reviews from my trip to Italy in May but just haven't got to it yet(mainly because I've been sick with one thing after another since I got back!). However, our last 2 nights in Italy in May, we stayed at a wonderful B&B called I Castagni that was recommended to us by Tim from Villa Sampaguita. It is in Casorate Sempione and is only 10 minutes from Malpensa Airport. The B&B...

Like you, I searched the postings for a hotel near Malpensa and based upon all the comments made a reservation at the First Hotel for late October. I'll post an update on it when we return. However, it looks like you have some pretty good recommendations to look into. Good luck!

I wrote a positive review for the First Hotel after my stay there last summer. I will be writing another review, not as positive after my stay there this summer. If you do not need a shuttle ride to the hotel than I would probably continue to recommend this hotel, although the breakfast was quite sparse this year and the promised free wifi as a returning guest was worthless since I could not stay connected for more than 2 or 3 minutes if that...

My idea is that we would stay near the airport and drive my sister and her husband to the airport on the first morning, turn in the car and take the bus into Milan for the day. Return to airport and get some kind of shuttle back to hotel. Leave early the next morning for...

Hi Jan, Just replying to part of what you ask: if you're going to central Milan rather than connecting to a Trenitalia train, it's better to take the train from Malpensa to Cadorna station, rather than the bus to Centrale.

Hi Everyone, Looking for recommendations for a one night stay near the Malpensa Airport. All previous posting are several years old. Looking for ease & comfort at the end of my 2 wk trip.

I second Andrews suggestion. From the Cardona station you can walk to most of the attractions. It is very close to the Sforza castle and about 30 min from the Duomo. If you don't mind a busy sidewalk eat at Steve's trattoria on Corso Magenta. Also, see my review of Tre Fratelli restaurant. Santa Maria della Grazie,( last supper painting) is about a 15 min walk from Cardona. If you don't want to stay in Milan it is about a 45...

Sounds like a lot of people have stayed at and recommend First Hotel.
