4.6 out of 5|89,021 reviews
A lively bohemian neighbourhood, where the streets celebrate their history and the bartenders remember your name. Hop between independent fashion stores, skate shops, vinyl hubs and trendy bars. You’ll see tattooists making art on one street, and nonnas hanging laundry over their balconies on the next.
Ticinese’s roots hang around in its medieval and neoclassical city gates, and the remains of a Roman amphitheatre. But it offers everything you want from modern Italian living — whether that’s fine dining, pizza by the slice, or something in-between.

How do I get to the hotel from the airport?
Flying into Milan and making your way to Bob W Ticinese? Welcome! Milan has a few airports, so here’s a guide on how to get to us from the two main ones: Malpensa and Linate.
The easiest way is with a Bob-Approved transfer from our partner Welcome Pickups. They'll meet you at the airport and take you straight to Bob W. Plus they'll be keeping an eye on the live updates so if your flight is delayed, no stress!
Click here to book your transfer.
From Milan Malpensa Airport (MXP) ✈️
The journey from Malpensa is a two-step process: first to the city's main train station, Milano Centrale, and then a quick metro ride to us.
Step 1: Get to Milano Centrale Station You have two great options to get from the airport to Milano Centrale:
By Shuttle Bus: The Malpensa Shuttle takes about 50 minutes. You can check schedules and book online.
By Train: The Malpensa Express train (operated by Trenord) takes about 40-55 minutes.
Step 2: From Milano Centrale to Bob W From Milano Centrale, it's a quick metro ride:
Take the Metro Yellow Line (M3) towards San Donato.
Travel 6 stops (about 10 minutes) and get off at Missori station.
From Missori, it's about a 5-minute walk (500 metres) to our building.
By Taxi Taxis are always available at the airport for a direct, but more expensive, journey.
From Milan Linate Airport (LIN) ✈️
Linate is very close to the city, making public transport quick and easy.
By Metro (Recommended)
From the airport, take the Metro Blue Line (M4) towards the city centre (about 10-15 mins).
Get off at San Babila station.
Change to the Red Line (M1) and go one stop to Duomo.
From Duomo, you can either enjoy a 10-12 minute walk to our building or hop back on the Yellow Line (M3) one stop to Missori for an even shorter 5-minute walk.
By Bus or Taxi
You can also take the Airport Bus Express (runs hourly) to Milano Centrale, and then follow the metro instructions from there (see the Malpensa guide above).
Taxis are also readily available at Linate airport.

Bob's Tips for Parking 💡
Area C First! Understand the rules before you drive in. If your vehicle needs an Area C pass, activate it for the day you enter during charging hours to avoid fines.
Ask Garages About Area C: When you park, ask if they can help with a discounted Area C pass.
Go Green (if you can!): If you have a hybrid or EV, you'll likely have easier access.
Milan by Foot & Metro: Ticinese is a fantastic area to explore on foot, and Milan's public transport (metro, trams) is excellent for getting around further.
Any questions? Navigating Milan by car can be a bit of a puzzle, so feel free to send us a message! We're here to help.

You can do this any time before arriving, no need to wait for check-in day. This helps us get everything ready for your stay.
Find your booking number

Do I need to add my credit card to the check-in form?

Double-check that your email and phone number are correct.
