Good breakfast, clean bathrooms, clean place, good kitchen! Terrace is very beautiful and the location is very good.
The beds however are problematic because there were a lot of noisy users talking loudly at night but the staff was unresponsive.

Nice place for a budget travelle in .Milan
Lockers in the room. Private toilet and shower for the dorm. Guest kitchen.
The breakfast option is not good. There should be a table and chair to sit in the room. They had only one stool in the room.

Clean facilities and central location
Only about 15 minutes walk to the Duomo. Great location and good to have a toilet in the shared dormitories.
As a shared dormitory, it can be hit or miss depending on who else is sleeping there.

The stay was good
I did not take the breakfast but the staff were really kind and helpfull. The location was good but it's not exactly close to the center, around 30 minutes walking.

Bed was too high and grip was not good to go top beds. Some Indians was creating noise at mid night 1am, they were totally drunk. Though it has nothing to do with the property.

Wonderful Stay
The reception staff were very friendly and helpful, they allow me to keep my luggage in the store place and was very safety. The location was very near to Metro station and Duomo Cathedral. The facilities were wonderful such as WiFi and private locker in the room. I would like to visit the hostel again in my next trip to Milano as well as I will recommend my friends to stay with this hostel.

Would maybe have considered staying more days if I had a better idea of what it included
I booked this on short notice and didn't pay attention to all that the facilities included, nor did I stay long enough to use it to it's full extent, but it's very complete, from a yoga room to guest kitchens (despite having a bistrot available! A lot of hostels that do sell food do not allow outside edible items). Locks were included, I felt safe, it's very well located and nice looking.
Common bathrooms could be cleaner. Might be hard to keep it that way since there's very little space between toilets and showers.

The location and bathroom are good. Good value of money to stay in the hostel
The duvet is too thin to provide adequate warmth, and the heater fails to generate sufficient heat to compensate
12 November 2024
Very good
The place is very clean and rather comfortable (as for a hostel). Our common 6-people room had a bathroom which was very convenient. I also liked that we could leave our bags for free for the whole day after the checkout. The breakfast is available on site and the price is good. The personnel speaks English very well.
They take additional fee for renting the towels which is not great taking into account the price for the bed is already high (yes, it’s not that high for Milan in general, but overall I can’t say it was cheap). Not very close to the city centre or railway station (about 30-35 min on foot).

All was fine
Sometimes neighbors, the light in the kitchen turns off at 21:00, but what if I want to cook a dinner this time? Also, the metal chairs in the balcony would be more convenient with pillows on them

A nice stay in Milan.
It’s a very comfortable hostel with a nice staff. It’s away from crowds but still close to everything.
21 October 2024
Good location and price. Poor bathroom.
Good location and affordable price. Linens were clean.
Bathroom door was not closing properly. When somebody needs to use the toilet at night, all other guests need to listen the concert. Also why you even used these short doors inside the bathroom? So disturbing.

Antique charm
The kitchen is really clean and well equipped, there is also a terrace balcony attached. Mattress and pillows are comfortable
The bunk beds are not the most secure to get in and out of as there are not railings at the foot-end. I fell from the top bunk when attempting to climb down on my second night there. There is a set of stairs to get into the property before the lift becomes available

Liked the general location, the rooms and bathrooms were nice and clean, the staff was friendly and the lift was this old vintage style that was very pretty.
There aren't too many restaurants or cafes immediately next to the hostel in case you want to go for a late night bite.

I just spent a few hours there because my flight arrived very late and I had to check out by 11 am. Bed was comfortable, room was ok, bathroom was clean. I didn't use the shower, so can't comment on it. Staff was efficient and helpful when asking for directions. Safe area at night and very good location. Good value for money overall.

Do not rely on the lift, gets stuck all the time and there are plenty of stairs. Not ideal if you travel with a lot of luggage.
