    you couldn’t lock up the dorm room,there were no cups& only one spoon and no other crockery (no other knives,forks or spoons),bathroom was directly connected to the room so you could hear literally everything, didn’t have a lot of space…

    good to find&close to the metro station,great Airconditioning,bathrooms were very clean,beautiful outside area

    Lack of locks on the doors to rooms created an uneasy presence.

    Good location - very close to great public transport links. Social hostel with good kitchen and bathroom facilities. Staff were friendly and accommodation was very good for the price.

    The outdoor seating was a little uncomfortable, and lighting out there wasn't great at night time. There was 1 bathroom between 5 rooms, which in the morning before checkout was quite difficult to find a time slot when the bathroom wasnt in use. There was no orientation of the hostel facilities upon arrival... only an issue when one staff member seemed a little confused when I asked them if there was a fridge I could use. Which seemed like an easy question, but he tentatively mentioned that there was one round the corridor. A fine answer, but was left feeling a bit confused myself.

    The hostel is very close to the Laretto underground station which was useful to get in and out of the city as walking is quite far. Most staff were friendly and went out of their way to help answer questions or make you feel comfortable. Signs that take you from the road to the reception entrance. Welcoming reception room. Upon checkin, you get a welcome leaflet detailing what's in the area and useful information. Easy checkout

    Room is quite small for 6 people. Bathroom needs some work to be done/finished. You must pay extra for the air conditioner and buy the lock.

    Clean, cozy place, if you don't want to spend a lot on accommodation in Milan. Good for its price. The bed is stable. The y give bed linen and cover. The bathroom was not bad, seemed quite clean. There were lockers inside the room.

    I think I got just one sheet, the other one to cover myself was missing. if it were cold I would not have anything to cover myself. the fan… thanks God it was at least fan in the room but it was not enough. it was very hot and definitely air conditioning would be a better solution. towels can be rented for 2€… come on, better increase the price for the room for 2 € and give me that towel for free, demanding from me additional money for towels…

    location - close to the railway station. in the room there are closets on lockers and I didn’t have one, but it’s possible to rent free of charge one

    Uncomfortable bed layout, no privacy, reception wasn't always there to open door early morning or late night. The kitchen was not well equipped at all. No forks or knives to use for cooking. No system to labelling foods. Usually hostels leaves masking take and a sharpies and instruct guests to write their name and check out date on food items. No towels to dry dishes

    The rooms were too small and the bed broke, but I was able to fix it by myself. The bathroom could also be a bit cleaner. Also, it would feel safer if there were locks on the room doors.

    The staff at the reception was super friendly and helpful. The location was very good and close to a metro station. It’s also pretty quiet. It’s good for a one night stay.

    No room keys, access to the building/floor/room partially compromised, so no full sense of security. Lack of space in the rooms.

    2€ for towels ! maybe could be nice to grant at least one free towel per person. I wasn’t expecting the most clean place in the world but the shared bathroom needs more attentions!

    it’s a really smart place. not so noisy, in a good position and we’ll organised. reception is open 24h per day.

    It wasn't very clean and the room didn't have a key, so in case you have some valuables you need to pay extra to put them in the locker.

    It’s visibly old and doesn’t have some of the facilities modern hostels do, eg. no curtains around beds, shelves for the top bunk.

    the staff was great and very helpful. And great value for money. Probably the cheapest option for central Milan
