Hostel California Reviews

Best value for the money in Milan.

Just outside the city center but very well connected by Metro. Good value for the money.

Amazingly cheap, never forget the extra charge for linen, though. A bit far from the center but well connected by Metro. Only one toilet including shower, which was very annoying.

In general, not the best hostel I've stayed in, but definitely the cheapest, and since I only ever slept there, I really didn't care that it wasn't too clean. I got what I payed for, and I didn't need anything more than that :)

Great for one or two nights because of the cheap price but i would not recommend it

Extremely bad for what you pay. The staff is not friendly, the bathroom is dirty (the WC won\'t even had the thing to sit) and people walked across our room to get to their\'s. Try to find another option.

Great Staff !

This hostel exceeded my expectation. Location was ok, bus stop and metro station not far away. Staff were friendly. I stayed in the 16-bed dorm ensuite which I paid just €6.40+2.40 per night. Drawbacks were: 1)very few power outlets worked in this dorm, although you can always use those in the common room (which was a nice place btw); 2) no lockers; 3) no reading lights. Lockers and reading lights would make this dorm perfect. I wouldn't mind pay a bit more for better facilities.

They do not have any locker for your backpacks, so everyone has their stuff over and next to the bed. But they offer you leave your valuable things at recepcion. The cleanliness is ok and the stuff is friendly. You can go walking to the best Milan attractions from the hostel.

bathroom was small and dirty. room had many bugs. worth it for the price though.

The toilet upstair was stinky all day

Good value in an expensive city. No complaints.

Good location (near main metro line), unclean, and you must pay extra for the linen

Not a bad location, few minutes walk from the nearest metro and bus stops. Staff very friendly and helpful. Securiy not a strong point, no locks on the doors and no lockers, valuables can be placed at reception with the staff during the day, and bags can also be left there to be kept an eye on. Rooms and bathrooms generally very clean. Room was not what I paid for, but actually turned out to be better: 8 bed all girl dorm instead of 16 bed mixed dorm with en suite. Would recommend to a friend.

The only positive aspect is the location, nothing more. The staff doesn't know how to work properly, always commit mistakes referring to bookings and rooms distribution. What is more, they put you to another hostel because they can't accomodate you in the room you booked as the building is under reconstruction, and they even don't inform you about it beforehand

lockers with keys better food organization - clean more, leave markers so you can mark your stuff, make a free bin wifi didn't work in room

Well it is good if you just need a place to sleep.

The staff was unfriendly, the bathrooms were disgusting, location was a bit annoying, there was no common room. PLEASE DON'T stay here

Cheapest hostel I've ever stayed at, have an alright good communal area/kitchen, room was alright (but I can imagine that if the 16 people are in the room it can be a bit crowed, we were just 4). But it was very dirty (good thing the light in the bathroom is not that good, so you don't see the filth). Although they charge you 2,40 extra for linen, I don´t think they change it very often. But good value for the price.

veryveryvery really dirty. And staff was rude.
