Expert reviews
“A breath of fresh air in Milan’s stiffly suited centre, this is the best hostel in town. Entrance is through its lively bar-cafe, open to nonguests, where you’re welcomed with a smile and a complimentary drink.”
“The lively Navigli neighborhood is a good choice. And top marks go to Ostello Bello, a 50-bed hostel near Cinque Vie with some private rooms, lots of free food and social activities.”
Featured in New York Times’ 36 Hours in Milan.
“This attractive hostel is cool, trendy and has buckets of character, with a hugely popular bar that hosts live music gigs, theatre performances and art exhibitions, attracting both travellers and Milanese alike. The communal kitchen is stocked with plenty of free food, and there’s a complimentary dinner for guests too.”

Great Hostel!
Really close to the city center, with a nice front yard where people could chill and mingle. The hostel organizes a lot of events making the stay there even better.
The lockers could be a little bigger, but that's the only "negative" comment I can say.

I had a lovely time and the staff were so accommodating and helpful. Also, a gret value.
Centrally located. Not far from metro stops and the train station. Clean, fun, and lively. The bar/restaurant is fun and inexpensive.
No individual lockers for storage pre or post stay. There is a luggage storage, but accessible to anyone entering room. Only an issue if you’re paranoid about people walking off with your luggage.

Close to the centre, many facilities and very attentive staff.
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).

Never regret choosing the accommodation..
I love the location..close to the shopping malls. Supermarket.tourist spots and the metro/tram service. From Airport to the destination. No hassle at all!
Can't find it.

Great value, great staff, location and facilities.
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.

Awesome place to stay if u r visiting Milan for first time
The location is great, staff are polite and helpful, the place has many games, the hostel organise events regularly and the kitchen has many free stuff that you can cook and eat, there is regular cleaning and unlimited coffee and latte. They do have paid laundry and paid breakfast service too.

Excellent hostel!
Good location, free coffee and tea, good breakfast. The staff is extremely helpful and welcoming. I also liked the idea of using an app instead of keys/card keys.
There was some noise on the back yard that kept me away from sleeping.

I hope guests are provided with slippers, as the floor can be quite cold. It would make the stay more comfortable, especially during colder weather.

The air in the bathroom is not circulating. Kind of noisy at night.

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!
