We have just returned from staying 3 nights at the Antica Locanda dei Mercanti. I was very interested to read other reviews on this web site as they reflect our own experience. We felt that this hotel had gained a good reputation due to its nice location, and antique-furnished rooms, but was now resting on its laurels - and charging... more

Well, well, well… Not exactly grosso but definetely a “colpo” thing. Got there, asked for the price. Got a price and found it exceeding our budget. “OK”, the aged lady said “for the same price we will upgrade you to a master room”. Done? Done… Or maybe so. When we fill out the forms we find out that the price... more

The location of the hotel is great -- we were only in Milan for 24 hours and were perfectly situated for a few sites and a nice dinner/stroll. That said, the staff was not very helpful and we had some issues while checking in -- we were told to pick from several rooms and were even moved once. I was... more

Perfect location for a few nights in Milan - a stone's throw from the duomo, La Scala, Brera district - everything you'd like to see as a first time visitor to Milan. We had a lovely, good sized room. Staff at the front desk were helpful. Would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others. It can be noisy... more

Since conferences had hotels fully booked, we felt fortunate to get a reservation for one night at Antica Locanda die Mercanti. The cost was 255 Euro with no breakfast for a tiny room with a really small bathroom. The staff are unhelpful and condescending. Our room was located in a building down the street from the lobby, and the woman... more

Stayed here for one night and wanted somewhere that was central, comfortable, reasonably priced and non-corporate. It delivered on all of these. I liked its understated furnishing and my room (apparently a suite, though definitely a room to me) was like a cool metropolitan room in an apartment - i liked it. However, do NOT stay here if you are... more

This place, only steps off the via Dante, a walking, shopping street leading straight to the Duomo, in Milan is a real find for the price. Yes it's and older property, but charming, clean, and quiet because it's in a no traffic area. The elevator is small but okay unless you have monstrous luggage. Breakfast in the room was excellent... more

We stayed in this Hotel from 12/09/07 until 16/09/07 in Suites 41 and 42.It was by far the nicest place we stayed in in Italy. We wish now that we would have spent more time in Milan because we really liked this city. We've been in Florence for 4 days and spent another 4 days in Rome. We wish we’d... more

We found the hotel to be excellent. Everything was great: the location, the restaurants the staff reccomended to us in the Brera District, the room. It really was the perfect place for my daughter and I to stay - we had such a nice time and of course lots of good food. Don't understand why so many bad reviews....!!!! Alex more
