Good value for Milan
The hotel/guesthouse is easily reached from the centre of Milan by metro followed by a short walk (past a nice bakery). Il Girasole looks unconventional, being a converted factory building. A nice courtyard is hidden behind a metal entrance door. Matteo and his brother are extremely nice hosts, who can provide enthusiastic advice on sightseeing in Milan. Our room was one of the two behind the courtyard which, unfortunately, the WiFi signal from the main building didn't reach - but was fine if you sat outside near reception/breakfast room. Room was clean and comfortable and spacious enough for chairs and a table. Bed was too firm for me (not my wife) so just luck of the draw. No tea/coffee making facilities per the property description, but also no glass for a drink of water (complimentary bottle of water for the first night). Nice breakfast: tea or coffee, a glass of fruit juice, a croissant and a salami and/or cheese roll.

This is a really nice place, run by two brothers who are charming, kind and filled with good energy. The place is not easy to find if you are using public transport: look for the image of a sunflower on the building, it does make it easier to spot. Also you may wish to ask for rooms facing the inner courtyard and not the street; not because of noise (the streets are quiet), but because the building across the street keeps its light on at night, and that can be disturbing for sleep. The area is very nice and they were kind enough to direct me to the nearby canal, ideal for jogging.

Interesting location and building
I stayed at this hotel more than a year ago, so my memories are not too clear. I do recall that the bathroom was clean and very nice. There were three of us, and we had enough room to move around and set out our bags, etc. The dining room/reception area is loaded with materials about the city. The hosts were very helpful and answered all our questions. The location was a little bit "out of the way", but as it is only about 7 minutes from the Metro station, not a big problem.

Quiet hotel in Milan
A small and beautiful hotel close to the metro in a quiet neighborhood. Hotel staff are very welcoming and helpful. We were given a good explanation of Milan and were best to eat and shop along places to visit within our stay. Large rooms. Good wifi and parking is available inside the hotel at a cost which is highly recommended since the parking spaces in the vicinity are all blue parking spaces (need to pay for the time parked). Breakfast selection is moderate but everything especially the bread, pastries and cakes are all freshly baked in the morning... what a nice smell to wake up to.

Convenient to all Sites in Milan
We had a wonderful stay at Il Girasole. Nicola was wonderful. We had a very limited stay in the city, but he took the time to orient us, provide some handy tips, and made us feel right at home. The rooms were spacious and comfortable enough. The breakfast provided in the morning was delicious and got us going in the morning.

Incredibly helpful owners and nice room
My husband and I stayed at Il Girasole for one night. We were able to find the hotel pretty easily but it took some effort to get in to check in. I didn't realize that we were supposed to call ahead and tell the owners when we would be checking in. When we did actually check in, Niccoli was very helpful. He went through where we should go, how we should get there, explained the metro to us, showed us where the shopping was and even explained where the locals go to eat. He also told us about apperitivo, which we took part in and loved. My only compliant is that there was no AC (was turned off on October 15) and we could hear everything in the rooms next door. The owners' hospitality more than made up for these complaints, but we didn't sleep all that much. Also, I should mention that Niccoli and Mateo went out of their way to help my husband (who I gave grief to after he did nothing for my birthday 6 days prior) to get a cake. They even threw in a bottle of Prosecco! I would recommend this hotel to anyone staying Milan.

Excellent Hotel Near Metro Red Line
Our primary purpose was to find a hotel in Milano with easy access to the Metro so we could get to Malpensa Airport quickly the next morning. Il Girosole fit the bill perfectly since we did not have to change metro lines to get to Cadorna train station for the Malpensa Express. There are plenty of good restaurants near the red line within a few stops of Il Girasole, and the hosts provided directions to some recommendations. The hosts also let us check in early, although all we wanted to do was check our bags. That was a pleasant surprise. The room has everything you could need including a small but very functional kitchen. Be aware that the exterior view shown on the web site is the view from the atrium, NOT the street view. The color of the building is correct, but you will need to look for the street number on the exterior. We did not sample the breakfast since we needed to get to the airport early.

A wonderful place to stay
Il Girasole is a hidden gem. The hotel itself is charming with wonderful touches, the service is top notch and Matteo and Nicola are very welcoming and helpful. The hotel is footsteps from a Metro stop which can get you to the Milan Malpensa airport, Milan Centrale train station and many other parts of Milan. If II'm ever back in Milan, I will be staying there again.

First of all it was a pleasant enough hotel located in a questionable neighborhood. The room were small with uncomfortable furnishings. The proprietors were very friendly, almost to the point of hoping you would look over the fact that the room was unsatisfactory.
