A good place to stay for this price with facilities to cook and Internet connection. Though the atmosphere is kinda hectic and sleeping rooms are not so charming, I would say. Just common place to sleep, not authentic or something. By the way, the personnel is great, very helpful.

We stayed in the 12 person mixed dorm. We expected it to be loud with so many people, but there was another 12 person dorm right next door and the wall between the two of them didn't go to the ceiling. This let in all of the sound from that room as well which was more than we preferred. We really liked having the kitchen available. Also, Wifi is only accessible in the common areas and not in the rooms. Overall, a pretty decent hostel.

They should be more strict to the people that are staying there. We were awake every night at 3, or 6 o clock by people talking and making noise, not at the common room, but the corridors of our rooms, with no one from the hostel doing anything. We understood that if the person staying there is an *ss they cant do much, but they should be more strict with the hostels policy, about making noise in the corridors.

Good location (3 minute walking from the tram stop), good price and good facilities. I stayed here for one night, and one thing I can complain is that there were some guys came back the hostel late and they were drunk. They sang, yelled and talked with high volume. It was 3AM and I was in a mixed dorm, so I don't expect perfectly quiet, but at least there must be some respect. I was too tired so I slept regardless of how noisy it was. But I think the hostel should do something about it.

.. At least they had free wifi and a good breakfast. Sleeping was easy, people respected the lights out be quite rule. But it seriously looked like I was walking in to a nightclub, and not in a good way. The service was very mehh but I'm not sure the person working knew much English. There is very little privacy between rooms. Stay at this hostel and expect only a good deal-- you won't be too bad off.

The place is friendly and easy, but my 12 bads room was very cold (it was winter), with only one light, so without the possibility to read or work in own bad. Bathrooms were cold like also the shower's water. Many eletric and idraulic stuffs aren't as by law, oftenly not working. Internet wifi only in the hall, not in rooms. Anyway it was cheap and in a good place

Great structure, very secure hostel, comfortable beds, showers are the down side as it's aimed at the wall and there is no water pressure! Social areas are great! No wi-fi in the bedrooms.

My bedroom was extremely loud at night since my dorm (12 person) didnt have a full height wall between it and two other 6 person dorms, or a door to the hallway. Facility was overall a little run-dow, but generally clean. WIFI only worked downstairs in common area. Free breakfast was standard hostel fare. The lounge/bar and other people really make this place; i met a ton of cool people here that all enjoyed hanging out and having fun.

The hostel was good, but the bedroom was not what I expected. There were no doors and the walls didn't go till the ceiling. So it was very noisy because we could hear anyone in any room.

The staff were amazing and very helpful. Clean, tidy and with a great vibe whether your relaxing or getting ready for a great night out. Would definitely recommend to anyone travelling to Milan for clean beds and good value accommodation.

The hostel itself is really good, staff are friendly, location is close to a tram station. And also clean. Really worthy for its price! But you cant ask for quiet. We stay in a 16-person room, there were a group of young people who even began to play at mid-night... fortunately, after a while, the staff stop them. and in another day we stayed there, it's generally quiet. Need luck to get quiet roommate.

The bedroom was bad because there was no door (just a curtain) and had a "window" to the other room what makes it very noisy and light.

If you choose for the cheap beds, be aware it can cost you a sleepless night if you are a light sleeper... Dorms have no walls, some of them not even doors, just some half-walls in between the rooms in the whole cheap floor, making you hear everything that happens everywhere. If you have no problem with that, go for it, its cheap anyway...
