WiFi was poor, need to pay and wasn't always working nor fast and reliable. Too little toilets for the whole population although they do provide free towels and shampoo (changed everyday). Location is far from city centre but near Milano Centrale train station. Hostel staff was polite and patient in guiding me through the major city sights & attractions

Hotel designed not to stay longer than a night. The guy at the \"lobby\" tries to do its best but seems to be working there more than 24hours a day. Best place if your looking for Holly Bibles (free in the corridor). Nothing else much to say.

This is a really quite hotel locating on a nice street. The staff is very friendly. Although I only stayed there for one night, I was impressed by the staff.

Nice place, though more an hotel with shared bathroom than an hostel, because there is no common room or kitchen. We stayed in the 3 persons room and the price was very good. It was clean and quiet. Very friendly personal.

I paid too much to stay at this hostel since it was out of the way from the center of Milan and it's not really a hostel, more of a hotel with shared rooms. There wasn't a young atmosphere or anywhere to hang out. The room I stayed in was clean and nice but there aren't any lockers. Most of the staff was very nice. If you can get a good price it's a nice place to stay. I had to pay 50 euro which was way too much.

Poor value for money! They should not call it Hostel because it is a *-Hotel and not a place to have fun, if you look for just a bed and not more it is ok, it was loud in the night, toilets have no seats but staff was ok

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.

It is actually more a hotel than a hostel, the owners are really nice and friendly, they even upgraded our reservation without any extra cost. The rooms are totally clean, you have to pay for wi-fi but its only 3 euros per day. It is far away from the city centre but the metro station is like 10 min away walking. I would really recommend this hostel to everyone

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.
