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.

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!

Great hostel for a few nights in Milan

Stayed here for two nights in Milan. The dorm was spacious and beds quite comfortable. Bathroom was decent, two showers but they had no space to hang clothes/place shampoo etc.? Very inconvenient. There was AC which was a big plus during the summer. No breakfast included which was a con. There are many great places close by, though. It is placed in a quiet and nice neighborhood within walking distance to the metro - approx. 15 min.

Cozy hostel in a classy building in

The hostel is incredibly well organized, from where the rooms are to the other facilities: laundry room (they offer a paid laundry service in which they do your laundry on one working day), kitchen, balcony, bar etc. The reception answers your questions clearly and objectively, they provide you with a chance to store your luggage in the basement when you check out early, the (paid) breakfast is very complete and well prepared, that's including both a coffee and a juice machine. The beds are the most comfortable I've ever slept on in hostels, the heating is neither under nor overpowered, just enough for you to feel comfortable but not have trouble sleeping. The bathrooms are well maintained and although shared, you can easily and privately take your showers without any intrusion or discomfort (I would however suggest the addition of more and perhaps hangers in the shower cabin). Each bed has a light spot and outlet plug, plus a couple of usb ports. There's space for you to store a bottle of water or a book above your pillow and the pillow area has a small covering so that people won't intrude in your sleeping. A curtain would have made it beyond reproach. Access control is safely done by card tapping so no unauthorized people have access to the dormitory area. Lockers are provided, they are spacious and safe. The bonus is the vintage elevator, which overloads class and cuteness!
