    I wasn’t so happy with the showers, they looked old and due for proper maintenance

    The people are the check in desk were amazing. The location as well is really good. Getting there was a bit confusing at first though but google maps came to the rescue.

    The bathroom is constantly dirty, and it seems as if this service is not important for the hotel. There is an employee named Ludo who is very kind in his service but he didn't make any effort to solve possible problems for customers coming from abroad.

    The bathroom is constantly dirty, and it seems as if this service is not important for the hostel. It is closer to the metro. Good to stay two or three days

    It was quite hot in the room. There were no ACs, and the fan wasn’t really enough. I woke up multiple times. The bed also makes sound.

    The receptionists were really nice. Everything was clean. A great location too. 3 min away from metro station.

    Great location, good price and nice common room. There is potential but also room for improvement.

    No air conditioning in the room, holes on the mosquito screen, immediate noise under the window. Lower bed sockets are only accessible by pulling the bunk bed away from the wall.

    Friendly staff and very convenient location along the metro line with easy access to all important stations and the city center. Nice common area with a projector. Very neat and clearn toilets, friendly decor.

    The only thing I didn't quite like is the fact that the room door can't be closed, there is no key or card that you get, so it doesn't feel super secure :( Also, there is no AC, only a small fan, so it can get a little hot and stufffy in the room. Plus, it's better to bring a small lock for the lockers, as the ones in the hotel do not have any (you can also but them there for 3 euros)

    It's a good hostel, we even got an upgrade to our room, so the stay was more comfortable than we expected. It's clean, the location is good and the staff was really welcoming. We also enjoyed the location, it's not a long walk away from the centre and there is a metro station nearby.

    While we were there it was very hot in milan and the rooms were very hot at night - my only critique would be the lack of some form of air conditioning or fan in the room. Otherwise everything we needed was provided for.

    I was in the 6 person mixed dorm with a private bathroom, the room and beds were comfortable, the bathroom was functional and clean - and all the people we shared with were pleasant and quite. While we didn't make use of any of the shared facilities it seemed well equipped with lots to do and the staff were really helpful and responded quickly to anything we needed.

    The blanket did not have any cover on it. Does it mean more people sleep under the same blanket? This is first time I experienced something like this
