In a city characterised by its old world charms and cosmopolitan élan, it’s no surprise that five-star, luxury accommodations have long outnumbered Milan’s affordable stays. However, affordable hotels in Milan do exist – some tucked conveniently, if discreetly— in Milan Centre, with others situated in the cooler peripheral neighbourhoods like Porta Garibaldi and Navigli. The allure of Milan’s cheap stays isn’t anchored in a string of new-agey boutique hotel groups (there’s none of that here, yet) but rather in their wholly Milanese fervour– from old-timey, bucolic guest homes, to sleek modern spaces studded with Gio Ponti furniture that give them a particular sense of place. Below, we’ve rounded up the best cheap stays in Milan, from £142 per night.
