Loft in Navigli District with Jacuzzi & Sauna – Papiniano

Loft in Navigli District with Jacuzzi & Sauna – Papiniano Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to the Loft in Navigli District with Jacuzzi & Sauna – Papiniano, you’ll immediately notice this isn’t your typical hotel experience. Located on Viale Papiniano in Milan‘s trendy Navigli area, this three-star property feels more like staying at a stylish friend’s place than a traditional accommodation. The building has that industrial-chic vibe that works so well in this part of the city, and honestly, it sets the tone perfectly for what’s waiting inside.

The Loft Experience

The apartment itself is where things get interesting — and I mean that in the best way. You’re not getting a cramped hotel room here, but rather a proper loft space that actually feels like home. The open layout works brilliantly, with enough space to spread out your stuff without tripping over your suitcase every five minutes. What really caught my attention was how they’ve managed to fit a full kitchen into the design without making everything feel cramped.

The Star Attractions

Now, let’s talk about what makes this place special — that jacuzzi and sauna combo. After spending days wandering Milan’s cobblestone streets, sinking into that jacuzzi feels like pure magic. The sauna is compact but does exactly what you’d want it to do, and having both right in your own space means you don’t have to queue up or worry about opening hours like you would at a bigger hotel.

Navigli Neighborhood Perks

The location on Viale Papiniano puts you right in the thick of Milan’s most vibrant district. You’re literally a few minutes’ walk from the famous Navigli canals, where the aperitivo scene is legendary — trust me on this one. The area comes alive in the evenings, but it’s not so chaotic that you can’t get a decent night’s sleep. There’s decent parking nearby too, which anyone who’s tried to navigate Milan by car will appreciate.

Why Guests Love It

What strikes me most about this place is how it bridges that gap between hotel convenience and apartment freedom. You get your own space to cook breakfast or store those inevitable shopping purchases, but you also have someone to call if something goes wrong. The 7.4 rating makes sense when you consider what you’re getting for the price point. Sure, there might be a quirk here and there — this is Milan, after all — but the combination of location, unique amenities, and that loft aesthetic creates something pretty memorable. It’s perfect for couples wanting something different or friends traveling together who actually want to enjoy each other’s company instead of being stuck in separate tiny rooms. The fact that you can unwind in your own jacuzzi after a day of sightseeing? Well, that’s just the cherry on top.

Reviews of Loft in Navigli District with Jacuzzi & Sauna – Papiniano

• It is large and fits many, but that is all. – Carolina from Malaysia – 26 July 2025 (7/10)

  It is large, and well located.
  
  What could be improved: It is not well maintained and the cleaning was poor. The main suite has a large bathroom with the jacuzzi and sauna, but there is a huge window missing curtain sheets. Then people from the living room can see you in the bathroom so huge lack of privacy. The AC in the main living room works well, the master suite room had to keep the door open to benefit of it as the AC in the rooms would not cool. The basement had a social area, nobody stayed there as the musty smell was strong.

• Pleasant – Carlos from United Kingdom – 18 May 2025 (6/10)

  Large space, with good location.
  
  What could be improved: Very early check-out, Sauna doesn't work, Jacuzzi doesn't work.

  Piso muy espacioso, perfecto para grupos o familias. Dispone de cocina, 3 cuartos de baño y camas suficientes para los 9 que éramos.
  
  What could be improved: El jacuzzi no funciona correctamente (tampoco era necesario), y el a/c de la habitación perdía agua (nada relevante).

• Good – Ali from Switzerland – 8 October 2023 (7/10)

  It has a lot of space. it's on the ground floor and very easy to access . It's right on the main road, so parking on the roadside was possible.
  
  What could be improved: It's an old but fairly kept house like apartment attached to a building . It has a basement, and I am not sure why it's called a loft because it's not. Facilities was not that great, so we did not use it. There was construction next door, and there was some early morning noise and portable toilet kept near by the interance

• Fabulous, well equipped apartment in ideal location near to Metro, Trams, bars, restaurants – William from United Kingdom – 5 September 2023 (9/10)

  Facilities were great, rooms were large and spacious and very well equipped. The bonus ‘cellar’ room was great and the architecture was amazing. The hosts Michele and Marika were very friendly and helpful.
  
  What could be improved: The noise from neighbouring building work early morning was a nuisance but didn’t spoil the stay.

• Enjoyable stay with friends, great location. Recommend. – Callum from United Kingdom – 17 May 2023 (9/10)

  Huge place, lovely rooms. Great looking living spaces. Sauna and Jacuzzi excellent.
  
  What could be improved: Hole in upstairs bedroom through to downstairs bedroom a bit weird. Lack of air conditioning.

• Hidden E300 cleaning bill for 1 night stay! Broken boiler. Cold water for Jaccuzi or showers.. – Timothy from Hong Kong – 28 April 2023 (2/10)

  The apartment is lovely, and the location is great but…
  
  What could be improved: There is a 300 euro cleaning fee after the promoted booking fee for a one night stay. That is just wrong. The boiler downstairs malfunctions so forget the jacuzzi. On our first night i assumed it was because my kids had used the jacuzzi that there was no hot water so went to bed without a shower. Next morning, no hot water and found out kids didnt have a shower or jacuzzi either as freezing cold. Called Fabio and long story short one of us have to stand by the boiler and restart it every time it went off and shout through to whoever was in the shower to watch out for cold water. Whole process added an extra 2 hours to our morning when we wanted to see Milan and had to check out at 11!! 🙁 On reflection they knew about it because the check in process included the Russian lady making me confirm there was hot water in the downstairs bathroom which i thought was odd at the time?? Afterwards asked 3 times if i could have a discount off the 300 euro cleaning bill due to cold water and ruined morning but was told 'no', so above is my reply.
