7.8Verified guest“The location was perfect, surrounded by lively restaurants and cafés, just a short walk from the main sights. The interior had a trendy, hipster feel that I loved. The room was spacious and the bed comfortable. I also liked the cute common area where I could relax and meet people. Despite the busy neighbourhood, the place was well soundproofed, so I slept peacefully. I'd highly recommend it.”
7.8Verified guest“Great location near the Navigli canal with plenty of dining and entertainment options. Comfortable room with a good mattress and easy code-based check-in. The artistic design gave a vibrant, inspiring atmosphere. The common room had everything needed, including a fridge, microwave, and sink. Friendly and helpful staff.”
7.8Verified guest“We got excellent value for money here. The room was spacious, the bed comfy, and the common space had a lovely vibe. The location was perfect – just a 20-minute walk to the Duomo.”
7.8Verified guest“The location of CasaBASE was very nice. I was surprised to find it right opposite the Armani museum, which made exploring very convenient. The interior design of the room was really good – stylish decor and comfortable amenities made my stay enjoyable. I especially appreciated having both AC and a fan, as it was quite hot in Milan. The bed and pillows were comfortable, ensuring a restful night. Despite the lively atmosphere of BASE, the room was free from noise, so I slept soundly. My experience at CasaBASE was fabulous.”
7.8Verified guest“Mind-blowing location, super cool vibe, and easily accessible. The in-house bar/restaurant serves incredible meals. Great design and a breeze to check in. The room upgrade with its own bathroom was a pleasant surprise. The neighbourhood isn't too touristy but still has plenty of restaurants and bars. Communication with staff was brilliant and clear. The room was well-furnished, comfortable, and had amazing air conditioning. The shared kitchen and sitting area were well-equipped and cosy. The shared bathroom was clean and had all the necessary amenities. The area has lots of nice places to eat and is a short walk from the nearest metro. An amazing place with great-sized rooms and a fantastic location.”
7.8Verified guest“My group of friends and I stayed for a few nights and the location was perfect – close to the canals for lovely walks and great places to eat. It was also near a metro station, making it easy to explore the city. The rooms were comfortable and clean, and the shared bathroom was well-maintained.”
