The directions of how to get to the hostel on Hostelworld were misleading so we got lost trying to find the place. A better explanation would be so much more helpful.

Very nice hostel. The staff was pretty helpful and welcoming. The location was ok, since it's close to a metro station and a bus goes directly to the city centre. One negative point, I got bites by some bugs... which is weird during the winter. Otherwise my stay was pleasant and nice.

Helpful stuff - Great recommendations for seeing Milan and great restaurant recommendations. Facilities were great and free breakfast was a well appreciated bonus. Internet doesn't work in rooms though

Very good money for the price, this is a real hostel, with all the facilities you need and the atmosphere of an hostel. Not a very nice location, but the metro station it's just 5 minutes away by walk.

The owner Umberto is the most helpful man I ever met in a hostel. He gave us all the information needed and was very friendly. The place is modern, clean in a very safe area. I highly recommended it. Mariana from Dublin

Hostel Colours locates not in the very center of Milan, but is very well communicated by metro and bus. It's very clean, rooms are big and warm. And they have breakfast. Though internet is only in common area and open untill 12. But I guess this is not a problem at all. Some staff are very friendly and helpful. They have a big nice map for you and explain well the city. I would recommend it. Nice experience.

Hostel is in common quite ok. Located not in the centre of the city - we used Metro green line. (2 mins walk to Lambrate FS stop) Wi-fi is only in common room - in our rooms the signal was very poor. Breakfast also very medium - croissant + chocolate + musli + coffee Staff is very nice, helpful and friendly. Rooms are clean and quite dry.

One of the best hostels I've ever stayed in. The staff are great. Spent ages circling places on the map, recommending sights & the best places to eat & they did this for all hostel guests! Really go above & beyond. Location is a little out of the centre but super close to the Metro. Will definitely stay here again next time I visit Milan! Create a vibe in the hostel that everyone mixes. Just a tip - great restaurant called My Way just around the corner - make sure you go there at least once!

I booked female dorm but hostel mistook my reservation and put me in a mixed dorm. ( when I arrived at the dormitory there was no person in the room so I didn't noticed it). Location was a little bit difficult to find if you go there at the first time, and not in the center. Something was wrong with vending machine in the common room. There wasn't a key in a locker. Stuff would answer if you ask, there is no more. There was nothing special in this hostel.

It was alright. The staff working there were a bit disorganized, but they were really nice and have just started the hostel 3 months ago, so it´s understandable. In the confusion, we were booked with a 60-year-old woman who promptly walked in and asked us to be moved to another room. Nice enough facilities though. Nothing life-changing.
