It was close to everything but also out of the way enough that it was quiet at night. The beds were great but and the bathroom was fine was well but looked like it could have done with a slightly more thorough cleaning, but it really wasn’t that bad. I would definitely and stay again if the opportunity came up! The breakfast was simple but very good as well

The place is about 7 mins walk from the no 9 tram to Metro Centrale. Quiet neighbourhood. Safe. Clean. Best part of the stay is going on a Lake Como tour with a smart funny guide called Emanuel. He’s good at reading the room, attentive, catered to our every need and knew not to tell us too many boring history. We have had so many animated entertaining conversations; alleviating the outing the most enjoyable one I had in Italy. Highly recommend Emmanuel to anyone who wants to see Italy. Thank you Emmanuel. I’ll never forget you.

This hostel is in a quiet neighborhood, yet it is close enough to the Duomo Cathedral area to walk. The staff was super helpful when I had some unexpected technology issues! The dorm rooms were super clean and spacious. The "atmosphere" of the building was simply charming....from the marble steps and adorable old wooden-door elevator to the subtle music playing from a piano down the street. It truly captures the atmosphere of Milan.

O quarto era limpo, cama confortável, mas era muito frio o quarto, o aquecimento não era bom. E todas as manhãs entrava algum funcionário homem para verificar alguma coisa, achei isso desconfortável já que era um quarto só de meninas. O elevador era muito antigo e de difícil acesso. Mas no geral Era tudo ok! A cama era boa e o banheiro amplo e limpo.

Pessimo

Cobram um absurdo pela taxa de turista. Elevadores velhos e disfuncionais. De todos os rececionistas só as raparigas eram simpáticas e um rapaz de cabelo comprido. Em relação ás limpezas do quarto expulsavam as pessoas de lá e ainda atiravam com as coisas dos clientes para o chão. Happy Hour super caro. Só vale o valor pela localização

Five star hostel

I’m on a 2 week trip in Italy and started in Milano for 3 nights. The hostel was very clean with lots of extra shower and bathroom space. That was private which was nice if you didn’t feel comfortable showering in the rooms bathroom. Also the location is great as well. Short walk to the Doumo area and a bunch of other things as well. Plus they had lime scooters all over the city. So for the valve it’s great compared to the hotel prices!

위치좋고 조용하지만 세월의 흔적 있음

조용하고 위치가 좋습니다 밀라노 대성당과 가까워요 다만 건물과 시설에서 연식이 느껴집니다 유럽여행은 거의 하루종일 밖에 있게 되어서 숙소는 최대한 적게 지출하려고 호스텔로 이용했는데요 진짜 잠만자고 조용하면 된다는 생각이시면 이용하셔도 좋을것 같습니다 지저분한건 전혀 아닌데 연식에서 오는 한계인것 같습니다 체크인 전 시간이 애매할때 무료락커가 준비되어 있어서 편리하게 관광했어요
