Great location – very close to the metro and the Duomo Cathedral. We really appreciated the possibility of early check-in. Thank you for a pleasant stay!
The windows were old, and despite being closed, there was still a strong draft coming through them.

Comfortable stay at Babila Hostel
It has great location quite central but not extremely busy you can reach all the main attractions by foot and the neighbourhood it is located is beautiful. Rooms are clean and comfortable.
The vibe is a bit off maybe it is because of the dates I booked but the staff was not putting as much effort in organising/advertising events as I have seen in other hostels.

Very good choice
The staff was very helpful and up to date and spoke English very well. Great location and many people statues there even for Milan design week who I wouldn’t expect Good value for money and made lots of sense vs a hotel

The location of the hostel allowed me to walk everywhere i wanted to go and the hostek itself was perfect and very homie
The facilities at this hostel were amazing. The kitchen was great and its right next to the terrace. You can do laundry. The “yoga room” was a nice spot to hang out after i checked out and waited for my bus. The luggage storage was free and had lockers you can lock (with your own lock).

Simply good
About what you'd expect for a hostel.
Bit too bright and could be noisy from the surroundings.

I stayed in a 6 bedded female dormatory. On arrival, staff were welcoming and friendly. Bed was really comfortable and bedding was clean. Lockers provided were of a good size, with a lockable key. Bathroom was clean and towels could be hired for €2. Location was a ten minute walk to the centre and metro.
Curtains around the bunk bed were really needed!! Other guests were allowed to check-in after midnight, this impacted everyone in the room as shining of phone torches, disturbed fellow guests!!

Overall, it was a pleasant place to stay. The staff was helpful and friendly, the space was clean, and the location was excellent—both central and convenient. However, I would have preferred slightly larger rooms, as the six-bed dorms felt a bit crowded when fully occupied. Additionally, I found it somewhat pricey for a hostel, though, to be fair, many hostels in Milan tend to be on the expensive side.

Great, would love to visit again
Great place to stay, great staff, margarita and Ish are lovely people. Great drinks, very helpful all throughout . Other guests were fantastic company. Ish made me an amazing huge portion chicken salad with fries. I wish them all the very best
It’s quite a walk from centrale but that’s ok rrally.

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.
