Hotel Vecchia Milano

A inexpensive hotel (and families' secret weapon) in Milan, Italy

It's on the high end of inexpensive, but well worth it for the semi-rustic wood paneling, good-sized tile-floored rooms whose modern built-in units come with marble tabletops, complement of amenities from TV to A/C, and location a quiet side street that's not quite near anything, but close to everything.

That sounds like either a backhanded compliment or a nonsensical statement, but what I mean is that, while it is sort of squirreled away on a side street you wouldn't normally stumble across as tourist, it is also within 500 yards (easy walking distance) of many top sights, including the Duomo (to the east), the Castello (to the north), Santa Maria delle Grazie with Leonardo Da Vinci's Last Supper (to the east), and the Pinacoteca Ambrosiana painting gallery (to the south).

Also, frugal families take note: many rooms come with third beds that flip down from the wall.
