Liked: Silvana and Sarah we very helpful and friendly. The place was really clean and cosy. Rooms were big and clean. Bathroom was great, best shower I had in ages!! Free breakfast with real Italian coffee was cool and great chance to meet other travelers. It was only a short walk from the center and there was a pub across the road and a pizza place that did a full margarita pizza for 3.80€! So good if you are traveling on a budget. Kitchen was so cool, great to find a hostel that you can cook yourself, and with two grocery shops close by its was good to try out my Italian cooking skills! 5 mins to metro and free wi fi. Really great place to stay I will stay again.

Disliked: Customer left no negative feedback.

Liked: This hostel is absolutely adorable! The girls working there are great. Silvana's hospitality really made my holiday! My room had a big beautiful bathroom and a terrace. The free breakfast was great- Sarah makes a great coffee!!! Fast wifi connection. 5 min walk to closest metro and very close to Corso Burnos Aires! I will definitely stay here again. It's like a home away from home.

Disliked: I loved everything

Liked: The staff were really friendly and helpful. The hostel was clean and the bathroom was great (I stayed in a four bed room with an ensuite). The hostel was only a 5 minute walk from the metro which took you right into city center within a few minutes

Disliked: Bedding is 5 euros, which I was prepared to pay because they hostel explicitly warns you about this. However, for that price I think there should be a cover for the douvet. The one I had was old and itchy and kind of grossed me out!

Liked: big and very clean bathroom (in the ensuite dorm), hot shower, spacious living room, the dorm is also big with really high ceiling, i stayed there in winter and the hostel was ALWAYS warm. breakfast was kinda simple - i mean it's all food from lidl, but there are some different choices, no stupid rules, staff was helpful but not overly friendly. they also provide some leaflets and books about travelling in europe and italy (probably from other backpackers who have left them behind), but they don't provide tourist maps.

Disliked: the hostel is quite a walk from metro station (8-minute quick walk) but luckily there's a tram stop nearby which can take you to some important spots in milan. also, the nearest supermarkets are some 5-6-minute walk. near the hostel there aren't many restaurants, only 2 bakeries, and there aren't many shops as well. these listed are not bad but at the end of the day, when i was tired and wanted to arrive fast to the hostel and to find something to eat, i found it a little inconvenient. it's quite quiet around the hostel, but safe, being near a university. other thing: breakfast starts at 9 and i found it a bit late. i stayed there 3 days and on the first day the staff slept over and came down to prepare breakfast at 9.40. we had already fixed our own breakfast using the stuff in the kitchen!

Liked: Great stay, it had a relaxed, home-y, student apartment feel. Great longe/kitchen area and nice clean bathrooms. My kind of hostel.

Disliked: Having No lockers was a bit annoying, especially if ur travelling with computers etc, however, i never felt my things were at risk due to my lovely room mates. Paying for linen on top of the price i feel is really sneaky but at least they warn you.

Liked: nothing

Disliked: I got eaten alive by mozzies..the rooms are really old and there is no atmosphere. the woman that checked me wasnt very polite and doesnt seem to enjoy her job but the guy went above and beyond to help everyone. They also charge 5 EUROS FOR SHEETS AND THERE ARE NO FANS! the location is pretty tricky and for 35 euros id rather pay a bit more and just get a hotel!
