Milano Ostello Reviews

Perfect location with easy access to metro

If you want a cheap hostel, it is one of the cheapest hostels in Milano, but if you want comfort then you have to choose another one..

Actually there is good service, cheap hostel is less expectation.

Clean, uncomfortable beds, cold (we were told that the municipality had closed the heating). Humid in the room, even though the room was ventilated. Possibility of cooking (there is a kitchen type)

The room I stayed in was the worst, with lots of mosquitoes. The facilities were not much different from other hostels.

Close to Stazione Centrale, the cathedral, but I found the bathroom a bit dirty. Spacious and popular hostel.

Great location...very clean...reception helpful....My only concern was on my last 2 days their seemed to be a mosquito problem...neighbouring bars and and eating places did not have this problem....therefore it was only ostello milano that this problem was centred.

I stayed at melano ostello it was a clean hostel, stuff are friendly and they really know what they do. The location is percer 2 min from station in a quiet place so you r in heart of Milano but not in the crowd.

DO NOT stay at this hostel. They stated there was going to be air conditioning, but they turned it off at midnight. RIDICULOUS! You toss and turn at night and wake up sweaty and miserable. If you open the window, noise from the street keeps you awake as well as dogs barking. Sadly, people smoking cigarettes also wafts into the space; this is terrible if you are allergic. Once the sun starts to shine, it warms up the room to over 30 degrees Celsius. To add insult to injury, the owner also does not turn on the hot water for the shower until 8:30 a.m., which makes for a miserable, cold shower in the morning if you are trying to get out to see the sites. The staff at the reception desk are left having to apologize for their owner who does not care about the guests. It is painful to observe and makes me shudder. Gordon Ramsey would have a field day with this place. Downstairs there is a kitchen for guests. Sadly, there is not enough glasses for guests to use, the equipment has seen better days, the refrigerator is too small for all the people in the hostel to use it, there is only one large fork in the utensil drawer and few cutting knives, and the stove gets so hot it has peeled the plastic off the wall by the stove and surprised it has not caught on fire. And I hope you are not allergic to cigarette smoke because the staircase outside the door is a smoker's corner, and it wafts into the kitchen making guests nauseous. And if you take you food out of the kitchen into the other room to eat because of the smoke, management gets angry and tells you have to eat in the kitchen. There is a workspace for guests in an adjacent room, but there are not enough outlets for everyone to hook-up their laptop and the table is too high for the mixed matched chairs. The list goes on and on. Save yourself a headache and find someplace else to stay in Milan. It's not worth the pain and suffering. Guests do not get what they pay for at this establishment.

The Reception let two ladies enter the dorm room for using the toilet in the afternoon in fact they had check out in the morning.

Don’t ever stay here. Not good.

Everything is good except one main thing. Rooms were hot in midnight and AC were off. We try to get some help but no use. He said that ac will be on for 3 hours. But it didn’t help that much and rooms were still hot. Apart from this, everything is good.

The location is great to me, the lobbies are great as well. It would be better if there is a coffee bar at all times for guests.

Milano Ostello. This is a very nice and clean hostel. The guys that work the front desk are very kind and friendly and willing to assist however they can. You can see the cleaners throughout the day working hard to keep the place the way it is, clean! The male dorm for 6 was spacious and clean with an ensuite. The best time to shower is in the evening and at night because the morning time the hot water is scarce. The room does have air conditioner but you have to ask the front desk to turn it on and they’ll turn it back off when they feel it is time. I didn’t like that but it is what it is. The windows do open in the room and Milan is very hot in May. The heat wasn’t my reason for wanting the air on, it was my allergies. Pollen is in the air. Overall I enjoyed my three night stay here and will stay again. They do have a kitchen area and hang out area downstairs. The place is gated and entry to the building and your room requires a key card.
