The variety is generally lauded with terms like varied, rich and extensive frequently mentioned. However, some reviews suggest there is room for improvement, particularly in expanding the selection of hot dishes, fresh fruits, nuts and non-carb options. While most guests find the breakfast generous and delicious, a few note that it could be more extensive and include fresher products.
Overall, Maison Borella offers a hearty, satisfying breakfast that leaves many guests pleased, contributing significantly to the charm and appeal of their stay. For those particularly fond of sweet breakfast items and a picturesque dining setting, it seems Maison Borella's breakfast is a highlight.
Dinner
The atmosphere of the restaurant is noted as pleasant and inviting with a dreamy courtyard adding to the charm. For those who dined in the interior garden, the experience was described as a haven of peace, enhancing the overall dinner experience.

The positive reviews also extend to the staff, who are described as friendly and helpful with restaurant recommendations. Whether eating on-site or seeking their advice for other dining options, the staff's guidance proved valuable.
However, one mention of the associated restaurant Bugande suggests it may not meet the same high standards as the main restaurant, indicating some variability in dining experiences within the hotel’s facilities. Despite this minor criticism, the general consensus is overwhelmingly positive. Maison Borella's restaurant is lauded not only for its delicious food and beautiful setting but also as a worthwhile dining destination in its own right, making it highly recommended for anyone staying in the area.
Rooms
Some of the standout features include large beds, luxurious bathrooms and rooms that are equipped with all the necessary amenities for a comfortable stay. Guests often mention the excellent insulation and soundproofing, which ensure peace and quiet, especially for rooms facing the inner courtyard. Rooms are consistently highlighted for being kept spotless with daily room service contributing to their high standards of cleanliness.
However, not all reviews are entirely positive. A number of guests indicate that rooms facing the canal can be quite noisy, even though windows are well insulated. Additionally, some rooms are described as dark, particularly those on the first floor and occasionally the air conditioning systems are cited as being noisy. In some cases, smaller rooms are noted for being less comfortable with issues such as low ceilings and outdated furnishings affecting the overall experience.
Despite these occasional drawbacks, Maison Borella largely impresses with its spacious, tastefully decorated rooms that offer a blend of comfort and style, making it a notable choice for travelers seeking a charming stay in Milan.

However, the feedback isn't universally glowing. A few guests found the beds somewhat hard and some noted that the mattresses were not to their liking with occasional mentions of bedding that could be improved. Despite these minor critiques, the prevailing sentiment is one of satisfaction with most guests finding the bedding top-notch and conducive to a good night's rest.
In summary, while there are some concerns about firmness and mattress quality, the overall impression of Maison Borella’s beds is highly favorable with comfort and cleanliness leaving a lasting positive impression on most guests.
Cleanliness
The hotel's approach to cleanliness extends beyond the rooms to the entire property, including a well-kept courtyard, creating a welcoming and cozy atmosphere. The cleanliness of the accommodations pairs well with modern decor, adding to the overall appeal.
However, not all feedback is entirely positive; a few reviews noted areas for improvement with comments suggesting that the thoroughness of the cleaning could occasionally fall short of expectations. Despite this, the majority of guests consistently report a high standard of cleanliness, appreciating the comfortable and clean environment that Maison Borella strives to provide.
In conclusion, Maison Borella stands out for its dedication to maintaining exceptionally clean and tidy spaces, although there remains some room for further improvement based on select feedback. Overall, the hotel is highly regarded for ensuring a pristine and welcoming stay.
