The hostel is good. But the staff was not so frindly. I think the breakfast is really poor could be better. They have no internet upstairs in the bedrooms, and for me its very strange, only in common room. but for a short stay is good.

Very nice hostel. It has excellent conditions and the staff members are great starting with the owner. The next time I'm going to Milan I will definitely stay here. I recommend it to everyone.

The atmosphere of the hostel is very poor! The common area closes at 12 a.m...... The staff is not helpfull and they were rude to me. I went out, then, when I came back, my bed was taken..... That was so weird

Their macbook has no connection to the Internet during my stay. The water in the bathroom runs too slow. My finger was cut when I was about to leave, but they had no Band-Aid to heal it. Apart from this the staff are very nice.

I did meet a lot of nice people here and the staff was really helpful. But I wasn't quiet happy that there were no lifts. If u are traveling with a big suitcase then this think twice before you come here. I was allotted the room at the top floor and had to carry my luggage till there. The wi-fi didn't work in my room! The location is fine and the place is clean, but it still is a bit far off.

My stay at Hostel Colours was great! I had to stay in Milano because I had an early flight the next day, but I ended up really enjoying my stay, mostly because of the great hostel and the great people I met there! I stayed in a mixed dorm, and everything was impeccably clean and pleasant. The shower got clogged, and was immediately fixed. There are ping-pong tables and a TV and vending machines. The staff was so friendly and I made some great friends. Grazie mille!

one extremly unfriendly guy in reception, no music, after complaining still had to wait 1 more day. Breakfast a bit sad. All in all no atmosphere and all guest just hiding behind their mobile devices. 0 communication. No hooks in bathroom, only 2 in dorm. Big lockers. The cleanest hostel i´ve been to. Location boring.

I don't agree with the reviews I have found on internet and which lead my choice. The welcome was pretty unfriendly and if you want to pay with visa - for which you have to pay a little more when you make a reservation - they tell you no, and the website says there are lockers, but you have to either have or buy from them the lock. There barely was the space for the number of beds the room was supposed to have.....considering the need to open the lockers....

Pretty average hostel. No atmosphere and only one friendly and helpful member of staff - glad he checked me in and not the others. Not the nicest area at night but that's probably just Milan. Clean enough but shower was broken - had to hold the shower head the whole time. Also no lift - fortunately the nice guy carried my bag up for me but getting it back down from top floor wasn't fun and I missed breakfast :( which is included so I paid for it!! Not particularly impressed.

Stayed here for 2 nights in a 4 bed dorm, ensuite. Location was a bit dodgy and not very central with not many nice places to eat. Breakfast was poor and the vending machine hadn't been replenished in awhile. Staff were very helpful and lovely.
