I loved my stay at B&Brera! The hostel was more like an apartment or hotel room, everything was so clean. Our host was great as well. The location is about a fifteen minute walk from the Duomo and city center. All in all, this was a wonderful hostel experience and I am actually planning on staying at B&Brera again when I go back to Milan next week!

Very friendly staff. Great location near Centrale and only a 30 min walk to the duomo and a 10 min walk to a huge park with a castle. Was very clean and had wifi in the rooms.

The wireless internet was not working for me. And I am not comfortable to ask you to type the password many times. Instead, you can give the wifi password to the guests and let them use by their own. You can change the password once in a while to prevent the leaking of password and unwanted access.

This was a nice hostel. It is located on a busy tram line and can get noisey..but nothing ear plugs can't fix. Breakfast is small but nice...at least its something in your stomach before you head out. The location is really good...I walked everywhere! The only down fall is that there is only one bathroom. That is all :)

Nice place, clean and quiet. Not real character or fun, just a big appartment with 3 or 4 beds to the room. Staff was helpful but didn;t speak English very good. Close to Moscova metro station (about10-15 min. walk) and right on the tram line, quiet neighbourhood at night.

The man was not nice! First, I got chewed out VERY badly for being late (it was about 11:20pm, i explained my train was late but still..) Then, he said he would give the change of my bill the next day... Of course I had to remind him before leaving because he has forgotten. The room was strange: e.g. you have to go out in the corridor to turn on/off the light.. And what can I say about the breakfast? 3 slices of old bread in a plastic plate... And no way to get a cup of tea. Only coffe or milk.

The owner, Teo, was wonderful and the bed was comfortable. Breakfast was acceptable. The biggest problem with the place was the smell. It needed so badly to be aired out. It was musty and dank smelling. Air freshener would not help this, only lots of windows open and a thorough cleaning of everything with lemon juice.

The hostel was really hard to find because the description on the website aren't clear. The room was fine, good beds, but a lot of noise of the traffic. Breakfast was absolutely awful! The location isn't great either, not bad, but could be better.

There was no breakfast! It is called bed & breakfast that was only a BED! The person who own the place was nice the day we arrived but the next day he was really rude. Not even a word. He told us that the breakfast was given from 7am to 9am but he didn't told us that before. It was 9h30 am...

Though one of the hostels closest to the city center, the location wasn't the greatest: the neighbourhood was pretty dry and it still was a good walk away (personally I didn't mind but truth be told). However, my friends and I were recommended a really good, well-priced, and authentic Italian restaurant which was a 5 minute walk away, called Grani&Braci.

Very clean. Friendly and helpful staff. Breakfast could be improved (eg. bigger portions, more variety). Locks should be provided for cupboards.

Hard to find, directions on the website are wrong. It has a weird smell. Windows don't close so it's cold in the winter. Excellent location, only ten minutes (by tram) to the duomo, and a 15 minute walk from the disco area. Nice that it has wifi. Breakfast is poor, but ok. But there's no tea. Very clean. But only one bathroom, so when it's busy...
