Holiday Inn Milan Garibaldi Station by IHG

Holiday Inn Milan Garibaldi Station by IHG Overview

First Impressions

The Holiday Inn Milan Garibaldi Station by IHG sits right where you need it — honestly, you can’t get much closer to Garibaldi Station without sleeping on the platform. This four-star hotel occupies a modern building that’s all glass and clean lines, which works perfectly in this rapidly evolving business district. When I first walked in, I was struck by how they’ve managed to create a welcoming lobby despite being in what’s essentially a transit hub.

Location That Actually Works

Look, Milan can be tricky to navigate, but this spot makes everything simple. You’re literally steps from the Garibaldi train station, which connects you to Malpensa Airport in about 45 minutes — no metro transfers, no stress. The Porta Nuova district around here has transformed into this sleek financial area with those twisty Bosco Verticale towers everyone photographs. What I really appreciate is that you can walk to the Corso Como nightlife area in maybe ten minutes, but you’re far enough away that you actually get some sleep.

The Room Experience

The room I stayed in was what you’d expect from a solid Holiday Inn — clean, functional, with that reliable comfort factor. The beds are properly firm, and they’ve got blackout curtains that actually work (crucial when you’re dealing with jet lag). The bathrooms are compact but well-designed, and honestly, the water pressure was better than some fancier places I’ve stayed. You know what surprised me? The soundproofing is really good considering you’re next to a major train station.

Dining and Amenities

The on-site restaurant serves decent international fare — nothing groundbreaking, but it’s handy when you arrive late or need to grab something quick before catching a train. There’s a fitness center that’s small but has the essentials, and the business center actually gets used by all the corporate travelers who stay here. The staff speaks excellent English, which might seem obvious but isn’t always the case in Milan hotels.

Why Guests Love It

This hotel works because it solves the Milan puzzle — how to stay somewhere that’s both well-connected and comfortable without paying premium prices. Business travelers love the proximity to the financial district and easy airport access, while tourists appreciate being able to hop on the metro and reach the Duomo in fifteen minutes. The parking garage is actually reasonably priced for Milan standards, which is saying something. It’s not trying to be the most glamorous hotel in the city, but it delivers exactly what most people need: a reliable base with excellent transport links and no surprises.

To book hotel in Milan for fashion week elegance, travelers reserve early to pair Duomo sunrise visits with evening aperitivo rituals.

Reviews of Holiday Inn Milan Garibaldi Station by IHG

• Good breafast,comfy room, very clean but not close to town center. – Arno from Australia – 23 October 2025 (8/10)

  Good breakfast, comfy room

• Very good – David from Luxembourg – 13 October 2025 (8/10)

  The best thing about this hotel is its location: the tram, that takes you to the city center, stops right next to the hotel. It's easy to get to the touristic places and the restaurants, and back home. Just tap your credit card on the reader in the team and that's all. Couldn't be easier.
  Additionally, even though the team passes next to the hotel, I didn't hear it at all.

  Everything once inside hotel.Food and service very good.
  
  What could be improved: The car park was nightmare to access hotel.Just not well enough signed

• A comfortable stopping place after a long drive from northern France – Mark from United Kingdom – 22 August 2025 (8/10)

  The room was comfortable and also quiet (with double/triple glazing), important in a district being developed and close to the railway. The staff were very helpful.
  
  What could be improved: Access by road was curious. My satnav directed me to go down a street plainly marked with a no-entry sign. In the end I stopped in front of the hotel entrance after crossing the traffic in a highly dubious manoeuvre (but a few other drivers did the same later)
