Excellent hostel, very kind staff. Not so close to the city center but very close to the metro, although the neighborhood doesnt seems very safe at night . breakfast is included, and it's pretty okay.

Very good hostel! The staff is great, the atmosphere is nice, very good rooms, very clean hostel. There's internet but it didn't reach the rooms, so you need to be in the first floor to use the wifi. But it is great! Close to the subway station, so it's easy to go anywhere in milan.

Lovely hostel, good location and very nice staff. It would be great to have little shelves next to the beds to be able to have e.g. the water bottle and phone / alarm clock next to your bed.

Really nice place to stay for a few days. The atmosphere was great and the staff was kind too. I really recommend this hostel in Milan, easy access to underground. Everything was clean and they are always pleasant to any of my needs.

We booked a three person room. On the second day we came back to find our things moved across the room and an extra bed added. The hostel had overbooked and their solution was to just cram an extra person in our room, where there was definitely not enough space for the people, beds, and belongings. They willingly gave back 5E back as a refund when we asked for an adjustment. Internet was solid allowing for clear Skype conversations, but you had to go to the common areas to get signal.

Owner Comment (Show)
Thanks for your comment, I'm sorry for what happened. The first night we gave you a private twin room for the same price of two beds in room 3. The second night we were excused because the room there was one more person and we have returned 50%, for a bed more. I do not know what I can do more. Sincerely the owner Umberto C.

This place is excellent value for the money - clean rooms, clean bathrooms, secure, quiet, and friendly owners. Would definitely recommend. I can't think of anything that could be improved. Would stay here again if I returned to Milan.

The hostel is good, but I made a reservation for an Ensuite Bedroom, and I arrived there and they put me in a Shared Bathroom Room, and didn't give me a explanation why that happened! Also, one of the shared showers wasn't working correctly and it got flooded.

The rooms were spacious, with a clean shower and in some cases large balcony. The heating was great - this was important during winter. Breakfast was on the small side, but the usual Italian fanfare i.e. coffee, nutella and a croissant. The only downer was the lack of wifi, and the fact they don't provide any towels or hairdryers in the rooms. Staff were friendly and helpful. I don't remember there being a bar there, which might explain why the hostel was a little quieter than others.

If you are looking for a place to meet a lot of new people and have a good time at a hostel bar than you should look elsewhere. While the facility is pretty nice and the staff was helpful. It wasn't a very fun place to stay and it was kind of away from the city center. It was cheap which was a plus but if I was to go back to Milan I would probably look for a different hostel as this one was nothing exceptional.

The upside of the hostel was it was really close to a metro station, otherwise it was VERY far to walk anywhere from its location. The owner was a little bizarre as well, anytime someone asked a question, he would complain about the cost of everything, which was awkward. There was actually a kitchen there, but the guests weren't allowed to use it, so you could watch the staff cook but not cook yourself, which I really didn't like.
