Great location, really friendly and helpful staff, good beds and facilities in the dorms (and the other guests were well behaved - which helped). Great to have a kitchen and ability to cook ones own food, as well as to get breakfast, coffee or a drink at the downstairs bar. Short walk to the centre of the city. Great price and absolutely delightful.
It was generally fresh hotel in a rather good location. However, the ”box” for personal belongings was really dirty and needed a wipe (I slept in a top-bunk). Also, the duvet had some stains as well, but the sheets where fresh.
The bathroom was also a bit dirty, but I checked in very late so I don’t know if it was my room-mates fault or not.
The absolute worst part however, was the lack of AC. It’s been really warm in Milan the latest couple of days, and it was not possible at all to sleep in the crazy warm room. So don’t go here when it’s hot outside, cause I did not get any sleep.
The personal wasn’t that talkative, but they got the job done and smiled.
The property and the staff where great. Specially Italo, the guy that made the beds.

Check in was chaotic. We had to buy a lock to secure our luggage in the luggage room before check in to our room. Room was clean and it was a nice breakfast in the morning
This hostel is in a quiet neighborhood, yet it is close enough to the Duomo Cathedral area to walk. The staff was super helpful when I had some unexpected technology issues! The dorm rooms were super clean and spacious. The "atmosphere" of the building was simply charming....from the marble steps and adorable old wooden-door elevator to the subtle music playing from a piano down the street. It truly captures the atmosphere of Milan.
I’m on a 2 week trip in Italy and started in Milano for 3 nights. The hostel was very clean with lots of extra shower and bathroom space. That was private which was nice if you didn’t feel comfortable showering in the rooms bathroom. Also the location is great as well. Short walk to the Doumo area and a bunch of other things as well. Plus they had lime scooters all over the city. So for the valve it’s great compared to the hotel prices!
So clean and friendly staffs there… It was good, but there’s a laundry problem. I wanted to use the machine. But staffs do that, so had to wait next morning… And loud music until midnight in the bar in this hostel
Stayed here for two nights in Milan. The dorm was spacious and beds quite comfortable. Bathroom was decent, two showers but they had no space to hang clothes/place shampoo etc.? Very inconvenient.
There was AC which was a big plus during the summer.
No breakfast included which was a con. There are many great places close by, though. It is placed in a quiet and nice neighborhood within walking distance to the metro - approx. 15 min.
The hostel is incredibly well organized, from where the rooms are to the other facilities: laundry room (they offer a paid laundry service in which they do your laundry on one working day), kitchen, balcony, bar etc. The reception answers your questions clearly and objectively, they provide you with a chance to store your luggage in the basement when you check out early, the (paid) breakfast is very complete and well prepared, that's including both a coffee and a juice machine. The beds are the most comfortable I've ever slept on in hostels, the heating is neither under nor overpowered, just enough for you to feel comfortable but not have trouble sleeping. The bathrooms are well maintained and although shared, you can easily and privately take your showers without any intrusion or discomfort (I would however suggest the addition of more and perhaps hangers in the shower cabin). Each bed has a light spot and outlet plug, plus a couple of usb ports. There's space for you to store a bottle of water or a book above your pillow and the pillow area has a small covering so that people won't intrude in your sleeping. A curtain would have made it beyond reproach. Access control is safely done by card tapping so no unauthorized people have access to the dormitory area. Lockers are provided, they are spacious and safe. The bonus is the vintage elevator, which overloads class and cuteness!

The hotel is ok. The personal is friendly and helpful.
One of the most bizarre place I have stayed at. Staffs were not caring, lights would go off every now and then in the room and idk, a lot of weird stuffs there. I wouldn't recommend to anyone.
The hostel is okay. Unfortunately they do not have AC and the wifi was not working while I was there and I needed to work. The staff could not help since the outage affected them as well. There was a large puddle of water on the room’s bathroom floor even though it looked like it was just cleaned up. I checked out 2 hours after check-in in and moved elsewhere.
