Les photos ne correspondent pas exactement à la réalité. L'auberge est propre, sauf les murs. Personnel sympathique.

The hostel was a bit off the map from the main city. After difficult task of finding it at night it was a comfy stay at the hostel. The hostel was clean and comfortable place to sleep, and it had multiple bathrooms and showers for multiple people to take care of their hygiene. Recommended if you don't mind driving or taking the tube into the city.

Staff was very helpful. Facilities were very clean and private. Rooms were clean and towel was provided which was a huge plus.

This place is in a really poor location about 10 minute walk from the closest station, which is several stops away from central. The doors don't lock properly and the toilets have no toilet seats. There was no hot water in December and it was cold. The reception guy didn`t know about metro and they gave me wrong direction. I was walking about 15 minutes to metro. :/// Too expensive!!!!!

It was alright. Nowhere to socialize though. I used it just as a place to sleep. Was charged for internet which was ridiculous however the receptionist was very friendly and very helpful. Great for a quiet place to sleep but wasn't exactly a fun place. Also there is a weird step in the bathroom I almost fell over several times.

This place is in a really poor location about 10 minute walk from the closest station, which is several stops away from central. The doors don't lock properly and the toilets have no toilet seats. The rooms are also on the third level and there is no lifts, so keep this in mind if you have luggage. Would only stay here if you were stopping for the night (as we did) and even still i'd probably just stay somewhere closer to central.

Staff is very helpful and the cost of a single bed is fair. Metro station "Lambrate" is just five minutes away but it takes a little bit to arrive from there to the city centre.

It was a generally mediocre experience. The hostel was very cold, and Milan was freezing, so we couldn't really warm up. There are no computers available, and you have to pay 5 euros to get the wifi code. It did provide a warm bed and (with the exception of one morning) hot showers, but definitely nothing special.

The hostel is a little far from the city center. The area is a little dark at night. The rooms don't lock and u have to keep the door open all night. One of the staff members knowled on our door an told us all we had to get up because lock out was in 15 minutes. It felt like I was at military camp. The Internet was 5 euros a day and was REALLY slow. There isn't a kitchen. The rooms were nice and clean but very cold at night. The staff was really nice and helpful.

You get the room with the price you pay. However, the shared bathroom for woman is pretty terrible. The shower part is very very small (even I'm asian people, I feel it. So what about the european or US ? )but the worst is, it is pretty dirty. The room is okay. I'd suggest the hostel to improve the cleanliness of the bathroom.

Situated on a small alley and 10-minute away from the closest metro station, it is not so easy for a newcomer to find this place. The hotel is run by a family. I met the two brothers, who were friendly to talk with. The room was good, clean and well-decorated. The room is located on the third floor, but there is no lift available, so it is quite a hard work to move the luggage up. There is a large supermarket nearby, which is nice.

It's quite near from the train station. They don't have elevator, so think about your bags before booking. The owner is very friendly and you have good options to eat and drink around the place!

I wouldn't recommend Hostel Galla to anyone unless you're just planning on staying in Milan for a night. This is what we did and had no problem with it, but I wouldn't have wanted to stay any longer: a bit far from the center, needing to take public transport, not a busy neighborhood, no seats on the toilets. Only exceptional thing was the receptionist, who was so friendly, funny, and helpful. Many thanks to him!

I arrive late in the night 22h, I'm a girl and I travel alone and honestly this is one of the time where i feel like really uncomfortable and feel really worried!The staff were not friendly, it was impossible to pay with my credit card even if the amount to pay were greater than the limit, they wanted it as cash, no lockers. No common room. Internet available only with extra very expensive charge.No indication at all about the cities, what to do, where to go out! no ktchen to warm up some water
