    There were ants in the room, the room is on the last floor which makes it very hot (no AC, so very hot nights). Count 3 euros for a towel, but the host was kind enough to offer us the second one. The bathrooms were spacious but unclean and the toilet paper would not flush, meaning we had to throw it in the trash (making the bathroom smell).

    The room was spacious and big windows allowed for bright mornings. Access to fridge and microwave. Tram line 1 (to go to the city) was nearby (5 min) and ok neighborhood.

    Bed was squeaky. Room had fans but it was summer and those wall fans were not helpful, the air couldn't reach the lower bed. No security to room, anybody can enter to your room. Return by 00:30 midnight to hostel, else you can enter since there is no key to hostel or room, you have to ring at reception each timeto enter the building. Bathrooms were old and should be improvised from drainage perspective, it stink sometimes in one of the shower room. The cushions on common area's chair are old and aren't comfortable, should be replaced with new one. The bed mattresses were too uncomfortable, since were very old.

    It was near to city attractions like Torre Banca, Parco Semipone, Arco dla Pace, Castello Sforzesco. Hostel has kitchen though not fully equipped but has minimum cutlery, microwave and refrigerator. Free locker woth lock pad with some deposit which you will get back on returning the key. Clean kitchen, common area and bathrooms. Common area is good. Tram 1,19 and bus 57 are easily and frequently available near to hostel. Safe place and near to Lidl supermarket and other mini markets.

    It was clean. The room was big enough and confortable. The host told us there was a kitchen but there's only a microwave and a kettle (which I don't think it's a kettle). For one night it's okay but no more

    After my experiences, I am personally not a fan of Hostels. That is why I can never write a great review about them. I prefer Airbnb ...🖐️😄👻

    - the shower has poor pressure - I understand it cause it is 5th floor but if someone have long hair - plan 5 minutes more for a shower ;) - you can hear some sounds from other rooms. During our stay people were super, just normal, but if you do not sleep very deep, better take stopers.

    - I do not understand complaints about times when you cannot go in. It is clearly written in the description. I think this is very good rule. Maybe thankfully to that there were no drunk, noisy people in the apartment. - The rule with giving the key back seemed to be weird at the first moment, but I appreciate it - you do not need to be afraid of losing the key. The owner or workers were not too talkative, key was just waiting at the desk and that is all. Highly appreciate! - The room was big, there was warm in the apartment. With rainy, cold days, I was always going back happy. - The place is really clean. Owner every day cleaned it on his own. There is some calc in the bathroom but it is not a dirt. - Microwave. This is my must have during holidays. - When microwave was broken, owner put the new one in a few hours. Super! - sorting trash. In my country we always sort everything so I feel guilty if there is no possibility to do it also in the hotel. - Bus stop just by the doors. - Good communication to the center of city.

    Was not told there is a curfew for entering the building until arrival, when sitting quietly outside (not disturbing anyone) was told to go to bed by a staff member

    The location was good - close to a tram station that takes you straight to the centre, the facilities were clean

    We booked a room for three people, and it was clearly that it was a three-person room when we booked it. However, when we arrived at the hostel, they said the room was for two people only (but have three beds in a room), and they charged us 30 more euros, otherwise they would not let us live there. This experience was very unpleasant, and there was a fee for towels, but no towels were provided in the room.

    noisy in the morning, sometimes, feels like moving furnitures but that's okay.

    i like that, it's easy to talk to the in-charge and that it is safe for a solo female travel.

    There was no air conditioner and it was impossible to sleep during this season also we could not keep the window open since it was a shared balcony. Also, we should arrive at night before midnight since there is no one to open the door for us after that time.

    It was clean.

    - The prearrival coordinations: even after informing I made a mistake in the booking, I was told I could lose my reservation if I didn't show up at 17h the second day of my stay (when reception is open from 12h to 24h). Although they offered some discount in the local taxes later it was a bitter process to go through. - The facilities: with 38°C, the fan was not enough to lower the temperature. We couldn't sleep until 2am. - You can only return to the hostel between 14h and 24h.

    It was a cheap option, and the owner put a good effort to keep it clean and organized. Also he offered some nice suggestions for restaurants.

    I rented a complete room. It was good. Beds are too bouncy for me. The fan could refreshed us during both nights In Milano, nobody pays for the bus, and it is a big plus for the hostel location.

    There is no 24h reception so you cannot leave the apartment after midnight. There were not enough bathrooms for everyone and they were not clean. Toilets clogged.

    We couldn't flush the toilet paper but rather had to throw it in the bin.. The showers were a bit dirty.

    Staff was really nice and polite, area was quiet and room was great for the tree of us. Kitchen was specious, balconies had amazing views and lots of sun.
