Great stay in a modern hostel!

So pleasantly surprised that in a city where I couldn’t find a room for under $400-$600 (fashion week?), this came up for $120. I’m 72 and hadn’t stayed in a hostel since college, and was in a room with 8 bunk beds. Everyone was considerate of the others, there was a food and drinks (even a bar, with a free drink), so it was just fine for my one night stay. Belongings were kept in a pull out locker under the bed. Enjoyed a glass of wine outside at one of the 3 tables. Perfect!

They did a fabulous job!

Ideal hostel

The staff - everyone - were fabulous, really friendly, really helpful, totally inclusive, didn't bat an eyelid at a older person checking in to this predominantly younger person's hostel. The atmosphere in the communal area, great buzz, great bar/cafe on the ground floor. Coffee etc always available free, similarly simple but good food available - for free for residents (also a decent menu option available if you want to pay, good value as well). Superb location 10 minutes or less nice walk from the Duomo area. Spotlessly clean everywhere. Sheets were supplied anyway, towels on request. Washing facilities were slightly limited, one combined shower, washbasin and toilet in an 8 bed dorm; I had no problems but I imagine there must be a queue at busy times.. Great price. But back to the staff, superb. They all make this a great place to stay. Thank you.

everything was great and I will be happy to come back

I really liked the staff, everyone was polite and ready to help I liked the renovation, it was comfortable and beautiful The kitchen and lounge area I liked the room, the bed was very comfortable, it was closed with a curtain, there was light and charging for devices

The only thing I didn't like and I would really like it not to happen is that they put a girl from the aggressor country (russia) in my room (6 beds). As a Ukrainian, I found it very uncomfortable to be around her. I hope that in the future they will pay more attention to this.

Overall I enjoyed my stay there, the staff were also very friendly and positive! I would definitely visit again!

I really liked that the room had a bathroom only for this specific room ,for the girls that we were sharing together and not like other hostels that I've been to where the bathroom is common for every single room. Comfortable beds, nice bathroom. The room and the bathroom have one hairdryer each and in the room there is a mirror in the table with lights around for you to do your make up or whatever, and the hostel also provided make up remover in the room.

At night you could hear clearly water running through pipes or something it felt like it was right next to us. But it didn't last long, about 20 minutes. Maybe someone was taking a shower in another room. And noisy outside around 22:30-00:00 but later it was okay nothing that keeps you awake all night.

This is one of the best hostels I’ve ever stayed at!

This is one of the best hostels I’ve ever stayed at! First of all, the location is amazing — very central, easy to reach both the city center and the train station. The beds were extremely comfortable, and the setup gave a real sense of personal space: each bed had a curtain, a personal lamp, and charging sockets. Everything was perfectly thought out for comfort. The showers were big and clean, and there were never any queues or issues. One of the things that really surprised me was that on the verandas, they always had free snacks, fruits, coffee, tea, and water available — it was such a nice touch! But what impressed me the most was the kitchen. It was incredibly spacious and, honestly, the cleanest hostel kitchen I have ever seen. They offered free pasta, pasta sauces, spices, vegetables, fruits, and sweets — you could easily cook a full meal without needing to buy anything. It really showed how much they care about their guests. Also, every evening they organized different activities — dinners, games, parties. The atmosphere was super friendly and welcoming. Overall, this place left the warmest impressions. I would highly recommend it!

Best hostel I've been so far!!! The location ist perfect for sightseeing or to start exploring the city. It's very close to Duomo and there you also have access to the metro. There is always someone at the reception to welcome or help you and the whole staff is extremely welcoming, helpful, kind and lovely. The dorms are awesome - there's enough space, the beds are very comfortable and the bathroom is also great. If you need privacy, there are curtains hanging in front of each bed, making it even better. There's a terrace on the top floor to relax or you can use the wonderful lobby, which is always occupied by someone of the staff and you get a welcome drink when checking in. Finishing it off, I met some great people in that hostel. To sum up, it has been a wonderful stay at Ostello Bello Duomo and I can 100% recommend this to you all.

Good place, worth the money you pay.

Proximity of the city centre (Duomo) and friendliness of the stuff.

Wi-Fi signal was not consistent in my room. First evening was very noisy party until 2am, but not sure if it was in the hostel or came from elsewhere.

Amazing place to stay in Milan

The location was great ,15 minutes by walk to Milan dummo and 10 minutes to metro and 5 minutes to a tram station.and in a busy and crowded neighborhood. The hostel has great plans for weekends and the bar gets really crowded. All in all it was an amazing experience staying there.

it would be better if the beds has a little privacy ,even a small curtain.

Great hostel, I highly recommend to anyone coming to Milan

This is the second time I have stayed at the Ostello Bello Duomo and just as with the first time, it's one of the best experiences I have ever had with a hostel. The staff are really friendly and kind, they are great to chat to and have a genuine interest in the guests and taking care of you. The hostel also attracts a good crowd of travellers, both international and Italians from other parts of the country. There is a bar in the reception which is a good place to socialise with other travellers and there is also a basement which has events such as music nights and gigs from time to time. I would recommend this hostel absolutely to anyone travelling to Milan.

Nothing I didn't like.

Breakfast was amazing! We stayed only one day my husband and our twins. Location was perfect 👌🏻 so walking distance to all the museums and Milan Cathedral, shopping, great restaurants close by. We will be back and will stay more nights. We had a wonderful time. René at the front desk was so sweet and welcoming. Thank you for a great stay ! We love Milan and this hostel.

The rooms should be bigger. We love the private bathroom.

“Perfect location, friendly staff, and great amenities—an amazing first hostel experience, especially for a Milanista!”

“This was my first experience staying in a hostel, and it exceeded my expectations! The location is absolutely perfect—10 out of 10. The rooms are comfortable, with good beds, and there’s a kitchen available where you can cook. The best part? The hostel provides free grocery supplies, which is such a thoughtful touch. Plus, as a Milanista, I was thrilled to see they support AC Milan! I’d definitely recommend this place to my friends.”
