Recommend this hostel only if you are traveling under a limited budget. The hostel lacks atmosphere, the services were not included as offered (the washing machine didn't work at the time of our travel). But as far as good things to offer, the hostel is close enough to the station and a great pizzeria!!!!

Terrible atmosphere, very noisy (seems like the road is in the middle of your bed), and not comfortable. The bed was clean and it was near the station.

I was a little scared of this place after reading some reviews, but I found it perfectly pleasant and clean. It's definitely not a barrel of fun, but the market here is for 1-night-stopover people, and for that it's a great little spot. Beds are a little tight together in the dorm, but the 24 security is a nice feature, the beds are clean, and the bathroom is fine.

Friendly staff. Very clean. All kinds of facilities, including towel, microwave oven, kettle, etc. Ten minutes' walk from Milan Centrale Station. Chinese backpackers will LOVE it here. Pleasant stay there.

Not very close to the central station (15 minutes walking) but comfortable and spacious. Anyway, if you just need a bed in Milan it's good enough, and prices are average.

All we needed was a cheap place to stay for a night in Milan. Granted the place got the job done. The hostel is dingy for sure, but the location is nice next to the train station. The bathroom is not in your room (you'll be sharing it with a couple sketchy strangers) and the vibe is that of an Asian prostitutes' den, but we were able to get a private triple for cheap. The room had WiFi and a TV for free. The beds were comfortable enough.

This hostel is awful! The only good thing is that it is close to the train station, but that means it is VERY far from everything else. The room was ridiculously small, and the shower had no hot water the entire time I was there. Do not stay here unless you are willing to put up with a lot of discomfort.

They should turn down the heater! I could not even turn it of so my troat was all messed up the next morning. Furthermore one of the two showers didn't work properly and the water was cold in both of them.

It's really just a place to sleep if you need a layover. It's next to the train station which is nice, and that's...about it.

The security should be improved by giving lockers inside the rooms, and/or also to give keys for the room to each person. It could be also nice that people can not party inside the hostel during sleeping hours.

Very clean. Not much atmosphere but perfect for one night stay if you've got a plane to catch. Staff pleasant.

The hatel is indeed close to the station, but it is in a crapy environment. Rooms are ok clean, really nothing special. Confusion with the payment, staff not so helpful, kinda expensive for what is provided.

Owner Comment (Show)
this man went to a wrong hostel, not guest house central station. that is why there was 'confusion with the payment' as he complained in this comment.

In a very bad area, with no signs of where the hostel is, except for the name of it next to a buzzer, but you wouldn't know unless you were really looking. Staff not communicative or willing. Rooms very hot and very loud next to a busy road. Four of us booked two rooms and for the same price two of us had large room with shower and sink, and the other two had a cupboard. Easy access to station though and no cleanliness problems. Would not recommend.

Staff was very nice and the room was clean and worth everything we paid.

Unfortuantely, this hostels location, was well interesting, as you leave the central station and head to the hostel you go through a very CD area of Milan. The Accomodation itself, was not what was advertised, problems with no communal areas to chill in, it is also very cramped they try to fit in as many rooms as possible into the space provided. normally i wouldn't grumble over the price, but having been to much better hostels which where cheaper i would question it.

We arrived at the station late and just wanted a bed for the night before catching an early train in the morning to Como. The hostel was not near the station as stated and we took a long time to find it. Otherwise the stay was fine.
