Liked: A clean, well-located place that felt spacious and secure.
Disliked: Soap was out in the bathroom; internet didn't always work; management has the questionable policy that you must leave your key at the front desk when going out.

Liked: It was quiet and had everything we needed. We were only there one night but I think I would go back. They were in the middle of renovating/painting the interior of the place, it should look good once finished.
Disliked: Not much.

Liked: The location is very good, within walking distance of main tourist areas. Room was ok size (twin room) and shower was good. room would get quite hot at night and air conditioning wasn't any use but could open window for some air.
Disliked: breakfast wasn't very good, staff weren't overly friendly (didn't even look up as you came and went) and place needed a bit of tlc although they were doing renovations as we were there.

Liked: It is very central. It is possible to walk to most places in the centre of Milan. The lockers are big and come with a key (no padlock required). The rooms have an en-suite shower/toilet facility.
Disliked: Some of the electrics were unfinished i.e. light fittings beside each bed. The room I was in had only 2 chairs which is inconvenioent if you are in a top bunk.

Liked: The location was very good only a five minute walk to the subway and the breakfast was delicious. Rooms were clean and spacious and had free internet which was a bonus. Each room had individual heater.
Disliked: The linen and pillows were very old and in need of replacing. Would advise taking a sleeping bag. The breakfast was delicious however there was not enough of it and was limited to one pastry and a cup of coffee.

Liked: Good location, friendly staff, good sized room and bathroom. Windows opening. Hot water is hot. Fridge in the room:) Wifi works. Heating more than efficient in our room.
Disliked: Shower cubicle should get a really good scrub. Met one cockroach:( Drinks machine gives laughable portions at 50 cents each. No kettle - cook water either on a hob or in microwave. (I haven't seen the souvenir shop or mini mart there but I didn't ask after it either)
