New Review – Moxy Milan Malpensa Airport (MXP)

📍 Location & Access – Convenient and Straightforward

The Moxy Milan Malpensa Airport is located just across from Terminal 2 – making it a top choice if you’re arriving late or flying out early. If you land at Terminal 1, no worries: the free airport shuttle runs every 15 minutes (and every 45 minutes at night until 1 AM), and the ride takes under 10 minutes. 🚌

From the shuttle stop, it’s just a short walk across the intersection and you’ll see the hotel right in front of you. I even asked for directions through the Marriott app, and they replied quickly with super clear instructions. A great first impression! ✅

🛎️ Check-In – Casual, Friendly, and Efficient

I’d already checked in via the app, so once I arrived, all I had to do was pick up my key from the bar – yes, at Moxy, the bar is also the front desk. It’s part of the fun, youthful Moxy concept, and honestly, it works.

Even though it was pretty late when I checked in, the staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful. I got to choose between 500 Marriott Bonvoy points or €10 credit for food and drinks. And they had a spin-the-wheel game at the counter – I won 15% off drinks. 🎉

As a Bonvoy elite, I also got a token to pick out a snack or drink from the fridge or bar – a nice little touch that made me feel appreciated.

🛏️ Room – Minimalist but Functional and Comfy

Let’s be real – Moxy rooms are known for being on the minimalist side. Think “smart hostel meets boutique hotel.” There’s no phone, no bells and whistles, but it covers all the essentials.

The bathroom, located to the right of the entrance, is compact but well-designed, with dispenser-style soap and shampoo (eco-friendly!). There’s also some space to hang clothes, a TV, and – most importantly – a very comfortable bed.

I had a small chair next to the bed, though it made the room feel a bit cramped. There’s no real desk, but that’s intentional – you’re meant to work or chill in the community lobby space downstairs.

All in all: clean, practical, modern, and surprisingly cozy for a budget airport stay. ✔️

🍹 Lobby Vibe & Amenities – Community is Key

The lobby bar area is where Moxy really shines. It’s not just a place to check in – it’s a hub for socializing, relaxing, or getting some work done. Here’s what you’ll find:

  • fully stocked bar
  • Comfy lounge seating
  • A big communal work table with power outlets
  • foosball table
  • 24/7 grab-and-go snacks and drinks

Even a meeting room (though I forgot to ask about how to book it)

There’s no gym at this Moxy, which might be a downside for some, but the Marriott app recommended a fitness center about 6 km away.

🚍 Check-Out & Shuttle Back – Quick and Smooth

Check-out was fast and friendly. One small but important tip: the shuttle back to Terminal 1 stops in a different spotthan where you arrived. Just exit the hotel, cross the road, and head to the bus stop on the right-hand side. You’ll also see other buses like Flixbus stopping there. The airport shuttle left almost exactly on time. ⏱️

✅ Final Thoughts – Great Value Near MXP

Sure, if you’re after more luxury or proximity to Terminal 1, you could go for the SheratonHilton Garden Inn, or DoubleTree. But if you’re looking for great value, a bit of fun, and a stylish, no-fuss overnight stay, the Moxy Milan Malpensa totally delivers.

What I loved:

  • The location right at Terminal 2
  • The cool, casual vibe
  • Friendly service
  • Comfortable room for one night
  • And those little extras like the welcome token and game

Would I stay here again for a quick airport stopover?
Absolutely. 🙌
