La Sacca accommodation

If you are flying from Malpensa MPX Terminal 1, you should stay in this amazing hotel.

Osteria staff friendly and professional. Great food at the restaurant, busy so reservation is recommended. Hotel is close to the airport, you pick up shuttle at #5. If you need to travel to downtown Milan, you need to take the train, a 40 minute ride. The walk to the train is 10 minutes, no sidewalks.

Although the hotel's location was less than ideal, situated in what seemed to be an industrial estate, stepping into the lobby felt like entering an oasis of calm. The check-in process was smooth, and the atmosphere inside was welcoming. My room was spacious, impeccably clean, and pleasantly quiet, aside from some occasional door banging around 11:00 PM. The comfortable bedding and well-maintained amenities made for a relaxing stay. The restaurant had a nice ambiance and was not overly busy, making for a pleasant dining experience. However, the menu options were somewhat limited. On my first night, I ordered a Thai yellow chicken dish, only to find the meat undercooked, with a bright pink centre. When I raised my concern with the waitress, she insisted this was normal, though I remained unconvinced. Erring on the side of caution, I sent the dish back, which was disappointing. Additionally, wine was only available by the glass, which I found restrictive, as I prefer to enjoy a bottle and top up myself over the course of my meal. The bar, while very quiet - I was the only patron - was a comfortable spot for a nightcap before heading to bed. One standout feature was the airport shuttle service, which was excellent and much appreciated. Despite a few shortcomings, the hotel provided a comfortable and enjoyable stay, and I would recommend it overall.
