    Showers were small in the dorm but thankfully there were other showers on the floor that were bigger, my 50L backpack didn't fit in the lockers so I could only fit valuables and day backpack inside

    Bed was comfy, rooms were big and spacious for 8 bed dorm, 10 min walk from metro

    There were too many beds in the room. Compared to most other dorm rooms i stayed in italy, this was twice as many as should be in the space. The showers were tiny - not big enough to dry yourself in and therefore privacy in-the mixed dorm was compromised because you’d have to run out naked into the basin area, pick up your towel and clothes and head to the large toilet to get dressed. So it is poorly designed made worse by the fact of it being a mixed dorm. There is only one toilet for the dorm and it should be only one shower as well. You cant bring your towel into the shower. Showers all through italy are stupidly small but this one takes the cake. I suspect the design of the dorm is illegal - based on a discussion i had at another hostel previously about floor area and bed numbers. Therefore this hostel is not any kind of value for money as its an expensive hostel.

    The mattress was good. The public areas and kitchen were very good compared to the other places ive stayed in italy where they are often limited to jug and microwave.

    The entire environment inside is quite old, beds could be better and more comfortable. In some corners of the room there was a spiderweb. The hostel environment became worse with years: seems like nobody cares about guests comfort.

    The location is perfect. The architecture of the building is amazing. The staff is great.

    I stayed only one night so didn't experience something negative.

    The location is very convenient in a rather quiet street and within walking distance to metro and Duomo.It is modern,clean and I loved the terrace on the roof!

    There is no quiete room to be able to work in a quiete environment or do a meeting in Skype. The bar might be loud in the afternoon but quiete in the morning and the evening.

    The staff is friendly especially Yamna, a very helpful lady who recommanded me many places in Milano and also the best ways of transportation to get there. Yam'a was in charge of the cleaning and the room was perfecly clean eceery day. The bess are very comfortable: I was in a lower bed, and whenever the person on the upper bed moves I just don't feel anything and helped me sleep well. The locker size was sufficient. The kitchen is well equiped and the terrasse is big. The luggage room is free and quite big. The elevator was antic but efficient. The bar is pretty good to sip a coffee and work/ read the news. The hostel is roomughly 10 min away in foot from Duomo.

    There is no place to eat inside the building. They only have a small countertop inside and lots of tables in the rooftop (the weather was cold during my stay) There isn't a chill area when returning after the whole day walking. Nobody shows you the property when arriving. The cleanliness is not diary :(

    The location is incredible, really near from the heart of Brera District. Very well connected with metro lines. The rooftop views are incredible!

    On one of the nights the kitchen was a bit dirty but it was because some people had just used it and wasn't the hostels fault.

    Great location, very secure they assign you a locker with a key so you don't have to worry about any of your belongings. The rooms were very clean. Kitchen facilities were very good with salt, sugar and powdered milk available. There was also a section which was food up for grabs so of you have leftovers it doesn't go to waste and other people can have it. Bar was open till very late even on a Sunday and cocktail happy hour is an absolute bargain. Beds were comfy with privacy covers and shelfs on the bottom bunks.

    It will be better the next time if staff give short info to the guests when they arrive after midnight they shouldn’t make noise:) it was disturbing. Because some people still do not have manners and they need to get informed about rules

    Hostel was amazing. Everything inside of this hostel+ bar+ terrace view.
