    The shower room was not upto the mark. It was not clean, not properly maintained. Even the toilets found sometimes not clean

    (1) Just within two minuets walk from Metro station (Loreto) (2) The hostel exterior was nicely decorated with lot of paintings, books etc. The kitchen was also functional (3) The linens were very clean

    no AC, very warm woke up next to my cousin and in his slumber he had created a pool of sweat beneath him. he was dripping and shaking and making small nasal noises. he only snores when he is reminded of the terror of the small hot war tank he once operated, feeling immensely overwhelmed, traumatized, and taken aback to his days of war. also there was hair in the shower.

    the doors closed, 24hr desk was great, the roof was functional, couches comfortable. crowd very nice there.

    The bed is not comfortable, the mattress is really thin and the pillow not comfortable. The room was extremely hot, even with the windows fully open, there is circulation of air. The bathroom, both shower and toilet need some improvements and cleaning. It has potential to be improved and become a great hostel, hope they improve.

    Staff very nice. Location is good, near metro and not far (even walking) from Milano Centrale.

    The room was very small (room A), with 2 beds. I had the upper bed, which wasn't stable at all and moving in all the directions when the girl under me was turning over or standing up / lying down. I think it was kinda same feeling for her. I didn't find any hot water in the private shower and had to go to the common one (with 4 showers). Also, every bed has a socket, but in front of mine, there was a metallic bar from my bed, and I couldn't plug anything in. It was strange.

    The hostel is close to the metro station, and you need just about 10-15 minutes to get to Duomo and the city centre, also the same time to Milano Centrale train station, that is very good. The staff is very friendly and smiling. I booked a couple of weeks before my stay, and a lot of places were already sold out, so I was happy to find an availability here. And not expensive for Milan at all. They also keep your luggage for free, but only till 7 pm, after you should pay.

    They need to install ACs. Barely functional fans in Milan in July doesn't cut it, it is inexcusable imo anywhere in this part of Europe not to have AC in July. The inside of the wardrobe was also broken and I could not hang my stuff.

    Central location, easy access at night, comfortable bed and pillow. 2 plugs close to the bed, 2 plugs in the bathroom. There are towels provided (albeit not the best).

    AC didn't work properly, was making noise, and it was impossible to sleep. There were no other rooms available. For lockers paying additional money doesn't make sense, 50 eur per night is already a lot, considering also lockers being in bad condition. The people were noisy, the hostel was not cozy unfortunately.

    Location.

    The blanket had a lot of brown stains on them. The rooms were outdated for such a new establishment. There was no A/C so in the summer it may get hot. There was almost no place to lock your belongings.

    The property was in a great location. You are within a block of a metro station and a short distance to the main train station.

    Not the best price/quality. However, like everywhere in Milan. The hostel is old. The bathroom needs renovation. There is no place to put things in the room.

    Spacious recreation area. One of the most budget options not very far from the center

    Showers need a few repairs and they could add a few more toilets, also some of the toilets don't have seats which is weird. Sometimes it gets noisy and also some guests have the weirdest time schedules (like I was woke up with the noise at midnight but on the other day a lady complain to me about my very low noise opening the locker because she needed to sleep: it was 7 am) but those we cannot blame on the hostel.

    This is a very well located hostel, with the infrastructure you do expect of a hostel, so you get a decent wifi, bedroom with lockers, a kitchen and area to eat, a bar, toilets and showers, all that at a reasonable price (regarding Milano price rates of course). Overall is a great choice for what you pay. They have a luggage room.
