30 September 2011

Liked: It is quite clean and not far away from Politecnico di Milano.

18 September 2011 Alexei would recommend this property

Liked: Clean and small rooms, not far from metro. Coffee machine in hall. Helpful staff. Supermarket across the street.

Disliked: Only single person from staff speaks english. It's very noisy with open windows at night, because of trams, cars, buses and sport bikes. But there is no air conditioning in room, so it's hot in summer with closed windows. No security lockers. Wi-fi is 5 euro per 24 hours, but if you stay longer - you can get 4-day pass for 10 euros.

14 September 2011 Sofia would recommend this property

Liked: It was perfect for my needs. I wanted an economical, centrally located place that was safe and quiet - that is what I found. There ended up only being three women in our 6-bed room. The other ladies were friendly and we all conked out pretty early. The owner of the hotel was also very friendly and helpful in answering my questions upon check-in.

Disliked: I stayed in a 6-bed female dorm room. There was only one key to the room (not a tremendous problem, as there was a receptionist checking comings and goings at the front door downstairs) and I didn't see anywhere to securely put belongings. Again, fine for me only staying one night and having left only briefly after checking in. However, for a longer stay, I'd want a locker for my bag. There were 2 fans in the room, but it probably gets pretty hot in the room in summer if you don't have the fan pointing pretty directly at your bed.

Liked: People were very nice- a 5-7 min walk from the subway, and on a really direct line. also, there's a supermarket across the street and a really cheap pizza place about a block away Rooms were nice, very clean, staff was really friendly

Disliked: Mosquitoes bit me, but my two roommates didn't get bitten at all- it might have been just me + the fact that we left the windows open instead of just leaving the fan on at night.

Disliked: Hard to met other travellers

29 August 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: The employees were so helpful and nice! I am an American student and after tons of time spent in airports I was exhausted. They were very helpful, helping carry bags, etc up to my room. In the morning as I tried to figure out how to get to my dorm across town, they were very helpful in first trying to help me bus over there and then calling a taxi. They also gave me some cappucino which was nice!

Disliked: The location isn't the best, but if you're staying for just one night there's nothing wrong with it.

27 August 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: good location, staff were friendly and helpful, the room was very very clean!

Disliked: They need to update their directions - tram no. 33 no longer exists and you need to catch bus 81 or get the green line on the metro. There was only fans, no air conditioning which just didn't cut it in the summer heat. It was the worst sleep I've ever had simply because of the heat. They would really benefit from investing in some air con.

23 August 2011 Calum would recommend this property

Liked: It was cheap, we only needed to kill a night in Milan so it served a purpose. Wouldnt reccommend it for any longer stays though

07 August 2011

Liked: Nothing specially good

Disliked: The location is alittle bit far from the city center. The staffs seemd not to like people with tatoos and this kind of things. And The room was quite hot... the windows are big but there's no curtain so we cannot shut up the sunlight in the morning.

06 August 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: For the price, it was a pretty decent place to stay in. The lady at the front was nice.

Disliked: Only one lady speaks English, and if she's not there it's really inconvenient because the other girl at the front spoke absolutely no English. I had the hardest time trying to get transportation information and gave up in the end. The area can be pretty sketchy at night, and it's quite a bit of walk to the nearest metro station.

18 July 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Good hotel for 1 night-stay in Milano. Best for this money at high-season.

Disliked: Some mosquitos. There is no towel in the room, so you have to rent one for 1 EUR. Don't eat in pizzeria near the place - worse pizza in Italy!
