Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Hotel Dover, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on a higher floor (4th floor or above) for a quieter stay. The hotel's location on Via Pasquale Sottocorno, a relatively busy street in the heart of Milan, means you may hear some traffic noise, especially on the lower floors.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the first floor, as they may be closer to the street and service entrance, potentially leading to more noise from foot traffic and service activity.
Best views
Unfortunately, the hotel's address on Via Pasquale Sottocorno does not offer any notable views, as the street is lined with buildings and the hotel is situated in a relatively dense urban area.
Quietest floors
Floors 4 and above are likely to be quieter, given the hotel's layout and the fact that the lift only goes up to the 4th floor.
🔊 Noise notes
Be aware that the hotel's location means you may hear some traffic noise, especially during rush hour, and the sound of people walking by on the street.
Insider tips
Consider asking for a room with a balcony, as it may offer some fresh air and a small view of the surrounding area. If you have a lot of luggage, it's worth asking the staff if you can store it in a secure area, as the lift is only up to the 4th floor and you may have to carry your bags up the stairs.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Money & Currency
Get a travel card →Euro, EUR
Use bank ATMs for the best rates; avoid exchange bureaux at airports and tourist offices, which charge high fees and poor rates.
Cards (Visa/Mastercard) and contactless (Apple Pay, Google Pay) are widely accepted in shops, restaurants, and transport; cash still useful for small purchases and markets.
Not expected but appreciated: round up taxi fare, leave small change (€1–2) for good service in restaurants, and tip hotel staff €1–2 per bag or for cleaning.
Eat, Shop & Travel on a Budget
Cheap car hire →Espresso at the counter in a bar or café: around €1.10.
Pizza al taglio (pizza by the slice) from a bakery or takeaway: about €4–6.
Simple pasta or risotto in a trattoria, or a panino: main course around €12–15.
Look for bakeries and pizza al taglio spots along Corso Buenos Aires and around Porta Venezia; also try the weekly markets for ready-to-eat options.
Conad, Carrefour Express, and Esselunga — the latter is a popular discount chain with good own-brand products.
High-street chains (H&M, Zara) along Corso Buenos Aires; also try the Vintage Market at Mercato di via Feltre on weekends.
Single ATM bus/tram/metro ticket €2.20 (valid 90 minutes); a day pass (biglietto giornaliero) costs €7.60. From Malpensa, take the Malpensa Express train (€13) or a bus (€8–10) instead of a taxi (€100+).
Buy a travel card (like the 10-ticket carnet for €18.60) to save on single fares. Eat lunch at a bar or bakery rather than sit-down restaurants for cheaper meals. Visit the Navigli canals or Parco Sempione for free entertainment and picnics.

🚐 Pre-book an airport transfer →Getting Around
Find train tickets →MXP Airport (T1 arrivals level) → Milano Centrale (west side)
💡 Don't bother with the door-to-door shared van services from the airport — the traffic on the Tangenziale Ovest is brutal, and you'll sit in it. The bus drops you at Centrale, then the metro is three stops to Cadorna.
Malpensa Airport (MXP) – Terminal 1 & 2 → Milan Central Station (Milano Centrale)
💡 Buy tickets online or at airport kiosks to avoid queues. From Centrale, get tram or metro (MM3 yellow line, stop Repubblica, then walk 5 min to Via Tarchetti).
Milan Malpensa Airport (MXP) → Hotel Boutique Duomo
💡 Book through the official app or taxi stand queue to avoid being overcharged; fixed rates to central Milan are around €100, but some drivers may try to add surcharges late at night.
Malpensa Airport (MXP) → Hotel Ambra (via G.B. Pirelli, 6)
💡 Ask the driver to drop you on via Scarlatti—Hotel Ambra's entrance is easier that side. Flat rate to city centre, but verify before setting off.
Milan Malpensa Airport (MXP) → Cadorna Station (then 10 min walk to hotel)
💡 Buy tickets at the machine or online in advance to save €2; the walk from Cadorna to Via Dogana (hotel) goes through Piazza Duomo – quick and scenic, but wheeled luggage rattles on the cobbles.
Milan Malpensa Airport (MXP) → Milano Cadorna Station
💡 From Cadorna it's a 10-minute walk to Hotel Fioralba. Buy tickets online or at kiosks, avoid buying from ticket touts near the station gates.
Malpensa Airport (MXP) Terminal 1 → Milano Centrale Station
💡 Buy a round-trip ticket online for €26—it's valid for 60 days. From Centrale, walk 8 minutes to hotel: head north on via Vittor Pisani then left onto via G.B. Pirelli.
MXP Airport (T1 & T2) → Milano Cadorna or Milano Centrale
💡 Buy tickets from the Trenord machines before boarding. Validate at the platform — €50 fine if caught without a validated ticket.
Malpensa Airport (MXP) – Terminals 1 & 2 → Milan Cadorna Station (or Centrale or Porta Garibaldi)
💡 Skip Centrale if you're heading directly to Hotel Berlino – get off at Cadorna, then take metro MM1 red line to Porta Venezia and walk 2 minutes to Via G.B. Pirelli.
Via Settembrini (near Centrale Station) → Piazza del Duomo
💡 Buy tickets at metro stations or tabacchi—don't board without validating; inspectors are strict. This tram passes near Hotel Fioralba; get off at Duomo and walk south on Via Mazzini.
Cadorna Station (from Malpensa Express) → Duomo Station (one stop on Line 1 or 3)
💡 Use the same ticket for both train and metro if journey is under 90 minutes total; buy a 24-hour pass (€7.60) if you plan more than two rides that day.
Cadorna Station (tram stop at Via Boccaccio) → Via Dogana (hotel, stop: Teatro alla Scala)
💡 Tram 1 runs past Castello Sforzesco and into Galleria Vittorio Emanuele – great intro to the city; buy a ticket from tabaccherie or the ATM app before boarding, as drivers don't sell them.

Top Attractions in Milano
💡 It's free but no online booking needed. The temporary exhibitions cost extra but are often skip-worthy.
💡 The tearoom next door (Caffè San Maurizio) is a good spot for a quiet coffee, but don't photograph the frescos with flash—the light damages them.
💡 Go early morning to have the place almost to yourself. No photography with flash allowed.
💡 Combines with the adjacent Museo Archeologico (which costs €5) but the church is free. Go just before noon or after 2pm to avoid tour groups.
💡 Bring snacks from the Mercato di Via Paolo Sarpi nearby; park benches fill up by noon on sunny days. The aquarium at the park's edge is free on the first Sunday of the month.
💡 Arrive 30 minutes before opening on free Sundays to avoid a 1-hour queue. Otherwise, standard tickets are €15, but you can book online at no extra cost.
💡 Bring a picnic and sit near the lake. Avoid the small zoo enclosures if animal welfare bothers you.
💡 Bring your own snacks—the on-site cafés are pricey. The grassy areas near the pond are less crowded than the main path.
