Babila Hostel & Bistrot, Milan

The place was clean

The breakfast are not really good

The position (very close to the center) and the staff.

Nothing

Its huge hostel located in very quite location. But 10mins walk from the hostel its a different world as Duomo is 10mins walk from the hostel.

The bathroom is very small that you cant even move while taking bath. I'm slim person still I was struggling inside it.

The hostel was clean. It was in a quiet location. The bed was comfortable. (However in August on the top of the bunk bed was a bit hot. 😅) Everybody was kind except one guy.

Deposite for the card and key. (As a backpacker I got shocked. 😄) The guy at the reception. He was rude.

It was very clean and very peacefull. Bed was nice.

The façade is beautiful The front desk advisor was super nice Comfortable beds

The staff were really nice and helpful. The hostel is around 10 minutes walk from the metro station. I really loved how every room has its own bathroom and how every floor has a separate bathroom with a shower and toilets outside, so if your in-room bathroom is occupied, you can just go to the one outside. The bar downstairs is awesome too. You can work and socialize in it. There are a few social events held at the hostel if you want to get to know people. There is also a laundry toom in the hostel which can be helpful. Internet was a great plus point. The internet was excellent all over the hostel. Overall it was a pleasant stay.

Zero privacy in the rooms. Beds were not private at all. No curtains or wooden boards. You can literally see everyone. And with people coming in in the middle of the night and mobile phone flashes, it made it next to impossible to have a good night sleep in the middle of the night. Also, when I was checking in, I checked in in the middle of the night. The hostel door was closed. I kept knocking for 20 minutes or so, until someone opened the door, even though I sent a message to the hostel telling them that I will be checking in late.

It was not expensive, the shower was good.

There was no air in the room.

It was great hostel, the staff are so friendly and kind.. totally recommended 👌

There Staff is very supportive breakfast is good overall it’s very satisfying.

I like everything

pleasant stay and staff, the only thing that bothered me a little was the mosquitoes... the hostel met my expectations

The AC does not work.

The staff were all really lovely and helpful. It was super clean, and when they did my laundry it came back smelling great. The hostel is in a wonderful historic building, including an antique elevator. The bunks have a modern design which gives you some privacy.

I'd love to have more comfortable seating downstairs.

It was great and clean

Friendly, helpful staff. Nice rooms, I appreciated the extra bathrooms & showers at the end of the hall in addition to the one in the room. Breakfast had a typical food and drink options. Neighborhood felt quite safe, and I liked the lockers to store your things in during the day.

No real complaints, it had everything I needed and I felt comfortable the whole time.

Could lock your items away in your room.

Curtains over the beds would have been a lot more beneficial.Also the place was advertised as a bistro but only did breakfast.Don’t mind that it didn’t do food but that’s class advertisement!.

Perfect location, good value for money

Very good location, clean room, clean bathroom. Large lockers where you can safely leave your backpack

It can get a bit loud, but luckily my roommates were mostly considerate

You can meet so many nice people from all around the world here.

extreamly nice people, very helpful, the beds were comfotable and clean

i was there during the summer and had the upper bunk. either the ac wasn’t strong enough, or the room wasn’t isolated enough, but it would get extreamly hot on the upper bunks. when i was packing my stuff the air was nice and cool, but the second i climbed up to my bunk, a heatwave hit me.

Great clean rooms, beds were comfortable, the en-suite shower room was a good size and the water pressure was good. The terrace by the kitchen is a nice feature - I enjoyed eating dinner and watching the sky change with the sunset. The old elevator is a really cute feature.

The kitchen seemed to be the victim of a cutlery gnome as the usual range of spoons, forks and knives wasn't ideal. The AC in the room was adequate but only just. Maybe providing just a sheet cover as well as the duvet during the hot summer months can help customers regulate their body temp better.

The staff was very kind. Thank you, guys... And thanks to our tour guide- Francesco. He was so kind, and we had a very informative tour in Milan with him.

Cleanliness Location Breakfast was good for the price (4.90 €) Free area to put your luggage for the day after you check out Internet was good in the room

The pillow

The staff were lovely and super helpful!! Facilities were clean and breakfast mediocre. It’s very central, with a 20-ish minute walk to the Duomo. The room itself was in a minimalist style, but it was a great place to base yourself to explore Milan for 1-3 days. Air Con was great!!

However, the bed was uncomfortable and firm.

I stayed at this hostel twice during my trip, both at the beginning and the end. The location is convenient if you don't mind a 15-minute walk to the Duomo. For me, it's close enough without being in the overly touristy center, which I and others appreciate. The hostel is clean, provides a great breakfast for the price, and has an amazing rooftop terrace equipped with everything you need to cook your own meals. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming.

During both of my stays, in different rooms, I found that the AC wasn't strong enough. On another note. On my second room, there was no chair in the entire room and lastly, the individual courtains would be appreciated.
