You could put up a curtain so you cannot see the person sleeping in front of you and have more privacy

– Quick and friendly check-in. – You use an app instead of a plastic card for doors and elevators. – Very comfortable and spacious lobby/tabletop games/bar area. There is a partially glass-covered inner courtyard next to that area. – Few meters away outside the hostel there is a bigger bar related to it. – You can use the kitchen on the first floor (which is kept clean and stocked!). – You can make yourself coffee from the machine or tea in the lobby area for free (!!!), don't abuse! – Beds have curtains and chargers. The lockers are located either below the lower bed or next to a wall. There are additional lockers (including bigger ones) on the ground floor. – The location is 10-15 minutes on foot from Duomo, ~10 minutes away from Missori (orange) and De Amicis (dark blue) metro stations.

Have not found any problems with the property.

Expensive for the hostel, but for solo traveller the atmosphere feels safe, very important for me.

I love the comfort of kitchen and common areas. I want expecting it, but coffee and tea were actually really helpful.

There are no lockers by the bed, which made it hard for me sleeping on te top bed (third one).

I don't normally stay in hostels, but this place has better facilities than some fancy hotels. Greatly appreciated the filtered water, the coffee, and even though we didn't use the kitchen, it's really well stocked. Staff are super nice too.

Their slogan that says more or less ‘this is a house, not a hotel’ rings true to me

Every small detail is thought to make you feel good and relaxed. The little messages often teach you how to behave to maximize enjoyment. Both hosts and guests are great. You’ll have a very good time.

A wonderful adventure, in the heart of Milano :)

Location was fantastic. Staff were welcoming and friendly. Lots of communal spaces and entertainment.

The only thing for me is as not having more communal toilets/showers around the hostel. There’s an en-suite bathroom (shared by 8) and 1 communal shower/toilet - worked out fine as I was on different schedule to the others but could do with a few extras around the hostel.

Wonderful stay

It was right in the center, easily accessible, a lot of free facilities and a good reception.

The only thing I didn't like was the horrible and loud sound that comes from the bathroom door. So everytime someone go or come out, it wakes up everybody in the room!

Fantastic hostel

One of the best hostels I’ve ever stayed in! Great overall vibe, great design, friendly people staying there. The hostel is made up of 2 separate buildings (called Uptown and Downtown) across the street from each other. One has the bar and rooftop terrace, the other has other nice common areas. I requested a quiet room and was given a dorm on the 4th floor of the newer building (I forgot the name), so there was no noise disturbance at all even on a Saturday night Free machine coffee, free fruit and veg, canned items and pastas for you to cook with in the kitchen were all very well done and a great bonus!

In retrospect, the staff really did not explain much about the hostel during checkin, however my stay would’ve benefitted if they did. I had to work out how to use the mobile keys app (other guests also struggled with it, especially to use the elevator) and the whole Downtown vs Uptown thing on my own. This meant I missed that night’s hostel event out of confusion about the buildings. I think these things can seem obvious to staff but they are not actually that intuitive, tired tourists like me would’ve benefitted from not having to work it out on my own, haha

In general, it was good.

The location is perfect, just one stop to Duomo. And the common area also provide some drinks, include tea, coffee, and hot water.

I just feel that the reception dest should inform some guests in advance when they check-in at a very late time, pls be quieter as much as possible. There was one tenant in my room check-in at around 23:00, and she still went in and out and pulled iron box so loudly at around 2:00 am. I'm actually not a very picky person, but this behavior was not okay.

I was really impressed with this hostel! The spaces are wonderful, very well maintained, extremely clean and with a really beautiful aesthetic. The facilities are excellent (fully equipped kitchen, comfortable common areas, fast wifi, relaxed and friendly atmosphere). I left 100% satisfied and would choose it again without a second thought! A huge thank you to the guys who worked there and especially to Elisavet, she is truly amazing, extremely friendly and always ready to help with anything! 👏✨ I highly recommend it!

Its a great option to stay in venice

Great location, staff very attentive and helpful.

One bathroom for 10 persons and all girls, you could imagine 😅... I mean that’s specified but most of the hostels has options to bathrooms in the hallways or more than one in the same bedroom. That was a little uncomfortable but the girls were pretty nice anyway and we could manage.

Would visit again!

Great location and ambience. It was amazing that they had free coffee for the guests. I would like to make a special mention of the male night time receptionist (can’t recall his name) who arranged a taxi for me as I was leaving for the airport super early in the morning. He was very helpful and kind. Overall the staff was very friendly and nice!

My only issue was the washrooms in the rooms that were not very nice smelling. But they were clean. I just think the plumbing was the cause of the smell.
