Nice hostel. Our booking got screwed up by the person who let us in and put us under the wrong name, which caused some confusion. The traffic is very loud at this location and some might find difficult to sleep

Great staff. Location was not in the center but Barcelonas transportation is so great it didn't matter. Nice rooms and decent bed for the price. Would recommend this place for a short stay for sure!

The sheets were very clean and ironed, the staff were helpful, tho they had hard time speaking english, also, it was a bit noisy, as it's on the ground floor of a building on a big boulevard. I'm overall happy, we had a decent place to sleep for the money we spent

The hostel is pretty far from the center, and in a sort of bad neighbourhood. The hostel lacks a kitchen or common room, so it is hard to get in contact with other guests. The staff isn't really open to questions, and isn't really fluent in English. I did not have the idea that they would have good tips for my trip.

The hostel is sort of clean. Beds are cleaned everyday, and sinks/toilets/showers/floors are clean. Hard-to-reach places are often dirty however. The ceiling in the shower had some moulding for example.

A lot of stuff could use an update. You can feel the separate springs on the mattresses, the furniture is worn out, and some lighting had broken bulbs. It all fell a bit cheap.

Overall, it is a pretty bad hostel. But if you are backpacking, sometimes that is just part of the experience. I mean, it could be worse. For the price it is pretty OK, but there are tons of hostels that are way better.

Overall the place was fine for what we needed, a place to sleep with wifi and near the train station. It is not the nicest place or in the nicest neighborhood. Mediocre beds, small shower, pretty clean, very stuffy and hot at night.

Daily cleaning of guest area (including making the beds).

Staff is friendly but some struggle with English.

As I was going to the Cathedral etc. the location wasn't perfect for me, but it was very close to both the central station and metro.

For the price I paid it was certainly worth it.

You did have the option to lock your things in a locker, but security was not top notch. As you're sleeping in a room with 5 other people and have the ability to enter and exit the building whenever you want, there's bound to be some security issues. I didn't have any bad experiences with it though since the guy sleeping in the bed next to me was very friendly and kept an eye on my things when I was gone.

All in all I recommend it but I wouldn't advise to stay for more than a few nights.

the best about this hostel is the location , right beside the central station which helped us a lot as we arrived after midnight , and they have a 24 hrs reception .

it was little far from the downtown we needed to take the metro .

It was ok for one night stay as the room also is little bit small . the staff were helpful

Location was 15 minutes walk from Central Station. Staff was friendly, but not really fluent in English. The room was cozy, but the walls were really thin and I had noisy neighbours, it's good that I carried my earplugs. Overall I had an OK stay.

i would recommend this hostel for a one night stay. for us it was excellent. late arrival with the train (very close to the central station) early leaving also from the central station. but for a longer stay i think i would choose something in a nicer area...

The staff was awesome and meeting others in the hostel was easy and really great! The facilities were everything I needed and the location was a short walk from most tourist attractions. If I return, I'd do it again!

The overall atmosphere was good, it was very clean. But i had to sleep in the room with 3 men and i was only women, so i felt not so secure and slept not well. I would wish to have at least one more women/girl in the room. But the rest was fine, the breakfast was cheap and good.

Staff were nice. Not sooo close to the station as advertised. Had bedbugs or fleas in my room and did not sleep the first night as I got bitten to death, but the staff were kind and moved me to another room the next night.

Staff speaks not good English. Prices are also very high. I had to pay for the breakfast which I didn't even know, only after eating she told me in broken English I had to pay for it.

If you want to crash when arriving late from the train station, this place is OK, but if you want to see the city and have a good time meeting others, I really wouldn't stay here. It's VERY far away from the centre.

It was supposed that you have the option of a breakfast... this is not true.

The girl that was in the desk ... she could barely speaks in english.

They have only one key for each room..

It was a pleasant surprise to find that this hostel was clean and quaint, and the bathrooms were new and practically spotless. Since I only stayed overnight for about 9 hours I didn't use the shower so I couldn't tell you how it was. The hostel isn't really as close to the station as it seems like, however, I think it could be up to a fifteen minute walk. The biggest complaint I have about this place was that I was never given a room key? So the door doesn't lock, but my bed was far from the door so I felt safer. It was a safe atmosphere anyway, but that was kind of strange.

The hostel is only a 10 minutes walk to the train station and it is quite easy to find. I recommend it to travelers who want to stay near the train station ( I for example had an early train to catch) and stay e.g. only one night. If you're looking for socializing there are maybe better choices.

If you're looking for a place to stay overnight in Milan, this place isn't so bad. It's a little sketchy, but the room we stayed in was big, clean and had a shower and sink.

very good, but the other people on the room were very noisy and disrespectful. Some measures should be taken against this to ensure the guests of the hostel are not disturbed in the middle of the night

Great hostel!! Very clean, they make your bed for you in the morning and give you a towel when you arrive. Location is so convenient for the central station. Would highly recommend. Only thing is not much privacy-- the door to the dorm doesn't lock. But was not a problem and I met cool people.

Good location, reasonably close to Centrale Station. Otherwise an average hostel. I personally consider it "value" (and will stay there again) if I arrive late and leave early. Would not recommend for more than one night.

This hostel made an overnight stopover in milan very very easy. It is easy to find if you follow their thorough directions (and use iPhone maps :P). Staff were neither friendly nor rude just business only. Enough power points for all beds. Very very hot in room - thank god for the small fan. Breakfast was confusing...did it exist or didn't it? Not sure really, communication with staff was a bit difficult. Ended up getting breakfast at the train station. Would recommend for overnight only - no common area at all, very small hostel.
