The overall opinion regarding Glam Milano was positive. The staff was friendly, the location was great and the service in general good, although not always adequate. The breakfast was average - a little less than expected. The beds were comfortable.

Dear Tom
Your mail was unfortunately in the undesirable box !
I do really thank you for your help, mainly before our travel because it was very very helpful for me.
The hotel « Zum Deutschen Eck » was perfect for what we wanted and a special mention for the person at the reception : he was very nice and competent.
The hotel was clean and very arranging so perfect for all our next K fairs for sure !
I wish you a nice day and will not hesitate to call you when we will have a need.
Best regards,
Marianne Pack
The location of the hotel was great since it was all walking distance. Facility was not as nice as I expected but the maintenance was good enough. However, although I booked for the twin bed, I got the room with a double bed. Nevertheless, again, the location was great. There was a supermarket right next to it and a nice cozy cafe across the street. I would stay at the same hotel again.
