Facilities

Hotel Aurora Milano is at Corso Buenos Aires 18, in the Porta Venezia district. The suburban rail stop is about 150 metres away, M1 Porta Venezia metro 250 metres and Lima 400 metres. The Indro Montanelli Gardens and Villa Reale are about ten minutes' walk away, Milano Centrale station roughly a kilometre, and the Duomo three metro stops.

Rates at Hotel Aurora Milano vary with the season, the day of the week and availability, and also depend on the room type: singles, doubles and the triple are priced differently. During the Salone del Mobile, fashion weeks and major trade fairs demand rises sharply, so it pays to book early. For specific dates you can check availability with our booking partners.

Couples can choose the Double Room, with a large double bed, or the Twin Room. For three people there is the Triple Room, with three single beds or a large double and a single, which also works for a couple with a child. Cots and extra beds do not appear to be available, so the maximum remains three guests per room.

Check-in is from 14:00 and check-out by 11:00, with an express procedure. Reception is open 24 hours a day, and luggage storage, for a fee, is useful if you arrive early or leave later. At check-in every guest, children included, needs photo ID, and the credit card used to book must be in the guest's name, otherwise a cardholder authorisation is required. The city tourist tax is paid separately.

Breakfast is not among the hotel's confirmed services, so it is best to ask the hotel directly before you arrive. Either way, Corso Buenos Aires is full of bars, cafés and gelato shops, with several just a few metres from the entrance.

No, the hotel has no parking; there are public car parks and paid on-street spaces in the area. Corso Buenos Aires lies outside the ring of the old Spanish walls, so outside Area C, but inside Area B, which from Monday to Friday, 7:30 to 19:30, bans the most polluting vehicles. With the metro and suburban rail close by, a car is of little use in the city.

The hotel's services do not state whether pets are allowed: this is something to ask the hotel before booking, along with any conditions.

Yes, Wi-Fi is free and available throughout the property, rooms included. Every room also has a telephone, a flat-screen TV with satellite channels and a desk, handy for working.

From Malpensa, the Malpensa Express reaches Cadorna in about 37 minutes, then the M1 runs straight to Porta Venezia; alternatively, coaches to Milano Centrale take about an hour. Linate is just a few kilometres away: the M4 reaches San Babila in about 12 minutes and from there the M1 goes to Porta Venezia. From Orio al Serio, direct coaches run to Milano Centrale in 50 to 60 minutes. The hotel also lists a paid shuttle service, on request.

Milano Centrale is about a kilometre away, a 13-minute walk; by metro, take the M2 to Loreto and the M1 to Lima, about 400 metres from the hotel. For Fiera Milano Rho, the M1 runs to the Rho Fieramilano terminus with no changes, or you can take the suburban rail from Porta Venezia.

The Standard Single Room with Shared Bathroom sleeps one person in a single bed and, as the name says, has a shared rather than private bathroom. Otherwise it offers individually controlled air conditioning, heating, satellite TV, a desk and a safe. If you prefer a bathroom of your own, choose the Single Room.

Yes. The hotel is served by a vintage lift with a narrow door, worth bearing in mind if you travel with large suitcases, and every room has individually controlled air conditioning and heating. The whole property is non-smoking.
