Aldebaran is a bed & breakfast in Milan, open since 2013 in the Stazione Centrale neighbourhood, just 700 metres from the train station and 50 metres from the Loreto metro stop.
The property is designed for those looking for a practical base to explore the city: the seven room types range from the Single, suited to solo travellers, to the 32 sqm Family Room, which can accommodate up to five people. All rooms share certain common features — air conditioning, a tea and coffee making set and, in most cases, a balcony with a city view — while the bathroom remains shared in every room type.
Staff, available 24 hours a day and able to communicate in Italian, English and French, offer room service and luggage storage. Pets are welcome with no extra charge. The central location makes it easy to walk to nearby bars and restaurants, while the Duomo, Bosco Verticale and Castello Sforzesco are just a few kilometres away, making Aldebaran a convenient base for visiting Milan without spending a fortune.
The seven room types at Aldebaran share a simple, functional layout: shared bathroom, air conditioning and a tea and coffee making set, with almost all rooms overlooking a balcony with a city view. Sizes vary considerably, from the 9 sqm Single Room to the 32 sqm Family Room, covering different needs, from the solo traveller to large groups.
Those looking for more flexibility in bed configuration can choose the Basic Triple Room, the only one with two possible bed layouts, while the Economy Quadruple Room stands out for the extra sofa compared to the other room types. The Double/Twin Room, on the other hand, is designed for those who prefer two separate beds over a double bed, and is among the few without a balcony.
The Single Room with Shared Bathroom is the most compact option at the property, designed for solo travellers: 9 sqm with air conditioning, a tea and coffee making set and a balcony with a city view. As in the other rooms, the bathroom is shared.
With 14 sqm and a large double bed, this room is designed for two people and stands out for its private balcony overlooking the city, ideal for a couple visiting Milan.
