Babila Hostel & Bistrot, Milan

nice location, friendly staff and comfy bed. perfect for an avid explorer.

It was good for 1 or 2 nights, beds are comfy

Never seen anyone clean the toilets

The location is great, very close to the Duomo. The beds were clean and very comfy and my roommates didn't make any noise.

I didn't get a towel, I don't know if my roommates took it but I didn't, though because I didn't stay for long(1 night), I didn't ask for one.

Clean , nice bed easy access and 24h desk staff available.

Weird and uncomfortable

The location

The staff and his lack of communication

Good location, nice staff, and friendly roommates. Bathroom is clean

A strange smell in my room. And beds are narrow, there is also a gap between beds and wall, so be careful do not let your goods dropping down.

Close to Duomo di Milano. You can leave your luggage after check out. Very clean.

Weird housekeeper male... kinda tried to touch me, when I was about to leave the room. Plus he came to clean up 10 minutes before the check out time.

I like the location was close to the tram and bus stations.

I haven't been in hostels for I while and forgot how people really don't have respect for other people at night with lights on and noise.

Early check in

Quite some distance from the tourist spot

It’s so good for stay ……..

Clean room and great location. Shared bathroom is inside the room. About 18 minutes walk to Duomo de Milano in a quiet neighborhood.

NA

The location is excellent. Helpful staff.

Perhaps it can be less expensive for this type of accommodation.

Staff was friendly and helpful. Location was great- safe street and not too much noise. The ensuite bathrooms were seemingly cleaned daily and didn’t feel icky like hostel bathrooms sometimes do. Overall, it was a pleasant 2 night stay and I would definitely stay again.

There was music playing until pretty late but I wasn’t too bothered by it. Just to note if you’re someone who likes to sleep early and is a light sleeper

Like everything of this hostel

I liked the staff. Vert cooperative and the location is good few minutes walking to all station. With duomo cathedral close to it The breakfast is good Fair to it's value

Limited facilities. Small room a little bit for 8 persons

Staff are very nice Location is great 👍 It is clean

Clean rooms, good service

Some distance from subway with luggage, but expected in a city

They have multiple bathrooms in the room. Which gives much more freedom to manage our own timing and travel plus comfort. They also provide lockers in room with fitted locks. Which is not so common in many hostels. The kitchen is quiet well equipped. Cleanliness is very much appreciated.

The location is not exactly close to public transport. Mainly metro. Although quiet centered in city, I must say.

Everything from kindness of the staff to the comfy bed passing through the rooftop terrace and kitchen and the architecture of the building itself. Central place but quite during the night. Excellent

The location was nice!

The guy from the reception during the evening isn’t friendly!

Clean and well designated for traveler. Best location. Hospitable staff. They have showers and toilet on the corridor; I had early departure I didn't want to bother the rest of room mates so I pack up the night before and took shower on its outside bathroom. The elevator is very much helpful with heavy luggage, just ask the staff as it can be quite tricky.

Nothing. Everything is perfect.

It's clean, not very far from the center, good price and friendly staff.

Not very spacious but I guess that's what a hostel is.

Central location Cleanliness The manager Stefano

It has a great location, you can go to Duomo like 10 minutes walk. The room is clean and also the toilet, they always clean everyday.

Just the noise on the side of the hostel. Im not sure what is beside the hostel but it is always like noisy even after midnight. You can hear people's conversation and laughter and that is like 1am or 2am.

I have mixed feelings about here. Night shift receptionist was a bit “tired”, toilet floors covered with used towels, bunk beds are shaking in every movement of each user… but it was ok place.

Love love the location of the hotel. Staff are all nice and accommodating. Arrived way too early before the 2 pm check in but they were so king to allow me take a shower after my long night bus ride. They have elevators! They have beautiful view deck in the 3rd floor.

Wifi is the worst! Aircon is too bad!

Located close to San Babila Metro. Decent breakfast for less than 7 Euro. There was an ensuite in our room. Staff friendly.

Rooms are very very hot. Very little ventilation. No fans. No A/C. Communal bathrooms external to the room need to be cleaned more often. They were dirty.

Really good location, breakfast is good and the staff are polite. There is a restaurant/bar downstairs and a very nice terrace and a living room on the top floor. WIFI is accessible almost everywhere. Rooms are clean and beds are decent. There were a couple of live events during my stay: live music and a comedy show.

Bathroom was a bit messy when I arrived: one sink was clogged and one of two showers had a broken shower handle. I notified the staff the next day and they fixed it almost immediately. But my overall impression was that the bathroom was a bit old/unmaintained. Everything else was good.

the private room in the hostel was really good, giving the facts that all hotels in milano are expensive and very old ! the hostel is central, walking distance from domo , safe (we were with a baby) . clean and comfortable

the elevator is small and breakfast is quiet poor - but still its a hostel and i didnt expect more a bit expensive (the private room)

Modern hostel with nice vibes. Rooms spacious. They do have a small restaurant on site with limited menu. Serves breakfast as well. Location - a little out of the way from either central station (20-30min tram) or the main shopping area (20 min walk)

As above

Mostly I didn't have any problems at all.

The wash basins in the bathroom were flooding and seemed clogged. Also, the bathrooms are quite small.

I was there for less than 12 hours but was nice

On suite bathroom. Kitchen -didn’t use so looked ok

I was in a 6-bed-woman's dorm, we had our own bathroom with one toilet, two showers and one sink. That was great. The bed had a mini shelf, everything was clean. The person at the reception was friendly. Two stoves with four places each.

The kitchen was very dirty and also barely equipped. Just one big pot, two pans, one sharp knife, one small cutting board and a few random other items, almost no forks, knives, spoons etc. The hostel is quite big so in order to be well equipped you would need 3-4x as much. You can cook in that kitchen, but it really isn't nice.

The bunk bed wasn’t as uncomfortable as I thought. The bed was fairly okay and looked clean. The lockers were free to use.

One of the two shower rooms had a broken lock, so basically only one was available. Because there were many people, I had to shower in a hurry.

The staff was friendly, the bar was nice and they served some cheap drinks regarding prices in Milan. Facilities were clean and the terrace was a very appreciable thing as well as the kitchen. The sanitaries were clean and the bedrooms as well.

Maybe the kitchen was a bit under equipped, there weren't enough utensils which reduced the possibilities.

Good stay, handy for an overnight in Milan in a central location

The stuff was very friendly!

It was quite closer to the Duomo and not far from San Babila metro . Was clean and better than I expected from a hostel

I was there for 4 nights but my bedding we’re not changed

Clean room, really nice people, great location

breakfast is quite expensive for what it was. 6,9€ for toast cheese ham and some cake and yogurt.

Clean and comfortable bed

Small shower room, but not so bad

We really liked the location of the hostel as well as the fact we had our own bathroom. We also really appreciated the tour of Como lake led by Francesco who was a very nice guide !

The kitchen was not really clean and smelled pretty bad which made it quite inconvenient to cook. Moreover, we know it is different for everyone but unfortunately, we shared the 2 first nights with very loud roomates and the blinds were not really of much help in darkening the room.

Comfortable beds. Clean and cheerful. Nice terrace on roof

The staff were very welcoming and friendly. The dorm was nice and clean. The bathroom was within the dorm and shared between 6. It was nice with two good showers. I’d be happy to stay here again.

No negatives

Easy going place, you can walk to the Duomo in 15 minutes

No parking available, the parking garage in the area are ridiculously expensive. Breakfast is with limited options.

Location was good and the staff behind the front desk were very helpful. Beds were really comfortable and lockable luggage storage in the room

No lock on the shared bathroom door. Although the shower cubicles were lockable, I had to come out into the open shared space to change/get my towel which anyone could walk in on. Also the shower absolutely flooded the floor with water.

Very accesible and great location! Also clean and the staff were helpful.

Completely understand that this was out of their hands, but my first night was terrible because the AC was not working. Thankfully the staff was able to change me to another room and had a great time.

Near to city center

No social events just a quiet place just for sleep

Clean hostel, nice atmosphere, close to metro and main attractions

Everything was ok, of course it is a hostel so you have to be prepared that there are many people in one room, they return late at night, for me it wasn't a problem though, the problem was only very small showers and lack of intimacy in the bathrooms it was even hard to change the clothes, however it is hard to find something at this price in the centre of Milan so anyway I reccommend it.
