My stay at Straf was quite an experience. The location next to the Duomo was perfect for exploring Milan, but the room design left much to be desired in terms of functionality. While the hotel had a modern and stylish vibe, it often felt uncomfortable, lacking basic amenities like storage space. Overall, it served well for my short visit, but I wouldn't want to stay for too long.

My recent stay at Straf in Milan had its highs and lows. The hotel's location is prime, just steps from the Duomo, making it easy to explore the city. However, while the design is modern and captivating, it sometimes sacrifices functionality, especially in the bathrooms. Plus, I found the noise from the bar below made it challenging to enjoy a quiet evening. Overall, I appreciated the vibrant atmosphere but was left wishing for a bit more practicality.

My stay at Straf Hotel was nice due to its prime location just steps from the Duomo, allowing me easy access to Milan's vibrant attractions. The contemporary design was visually striking, though the room maintenance left something to be desired, particularly in cleanliness. The staff were genuinely friendly and accommodating, enhancing my overall experience, but the unique decor did not quite translate into functionality in certain areas. Overall, I had a pleasant visit and appreciated the central location, but some fixes could elevate the experience.

Rooms

6.0

My room was modern and spacious, but I found the cleanliness wasn't up to par, especially with some stubborn marks on the black furniture. The eclectic design was stylish yet not particularly practical, with a bizarre bathroom setup and an odd mix of light switches that often confused me at night.

Breakfast offered a good variety, including fresh fruits and pastries, but I felt there could have been slightly more options to choose from. The atmosphere was quite pleasant, perfect for starting the day.

Facilities

While the hotel boasted a lively bar atmosphere with some fun offerings, the amenities felt like they were more focused on style than practicality. I did appreciate the availability of housekeeping and the other attentive services, though.

My stay at STRAF Hotel was quite nice, thanks to the vibrant location and innovative design. While I loved the cleanliness and modern decor, I did face some difficulties with the noise levels and room layout. Overall, the staff made my experience enjoyable, but there are aspects that could improve.

Rooms

7.0

The design of my room was striking, with good natural light from the floor-to-ceiling windows. However, I found the open bathroom concept a bit uncomfortable and missed having a door for privacy, especially since there wasn't enough soundproofing.

The guest service was really good; Anna at the front desk was incredibly helpful and friendly, promptly addressing my noise complaint. This attention to detail truly enhanced my stay.

The facilities were well-maintained, and the vibrant atmosphere at STRABAR added to my experience. However, I did notice that the single elevator could be busy during peak times.
