Budget Accommodation

The place was really for the budget traveler. Extra for towels sheets. Several flights of stairs, not for the elderly such as us. No heating, we had to sleep with our clothes on to keep warm, no soap just an empty dispenser. There was a shared kitchen which was a plus.

Stay away from this hostel! We paid for two nights but had to flee to another hostel the first night. There were homeless people everywhere (inside and outside) and we were chased up the stairs. The rooms were very bad and dirty, not at all like the pictures. We felt unsafe both in the neighbourhood and especially inte the hostel. When we decided to leave the police and ambulance had arrived at the scene. Unsafe, unserious, disgusting and even dangerous. Please find another place to stay! We decided to stay at Meininger Hostel on the other side of the train station. It was great, clean and the staff were amazing. The area around Lambrate is scary at night but if you still want to be located there we recommend Meiniger Hostel.

The host walks you down a haleay where people are smoking indoors. Unlocks a room and points to what bed is yours. After you look on the floor you see a bib cockroach! And host quickly makes you go back to the loby to avoid the problem at hand.

Basic but nice

Classic hostel, the bed in the share dorm is basic, nothing special, each has their own reading light and outlet, no bed curtain. One pillowcase and two sheets are on the bed when you arrive, one of the sheet is mean to be as blanket (summer time), but there are also thicker/warmer blankets in the room that you can use. It would be better if the bathroom has some renovate. The front desk staff was super friendly, I felt very welcome.

If anyone just needs to stay for the night, then this is ok, but it depends on the type of room. As some washrooms in a few rooms were not working, there was a lack of water in the toilets. Although they offered other washrooms to use, those that were near to the rooms were not working

Although the staff was EXCELLENT the whole hostle experience sucked... I only needed 4 hours to shower and set my luggage down it ended up costing me more than a fancy hotel and they even tried to charge 12€ for the use of the shower and clean towels, it cost me 22€ from the train station and then 31€ from the hostle to the bus station 4 hours later plus a 10€ fee for late check-in due to the immigration stop between France and Italy that resulted in a 2 hour delay of my arrival. My advice is to beware of hostle and their hidden fees.. in my case a stay at 4 seasons may have been a better deal price and comfort wise, but the staff was amazing.

Not worth it: out of the way and a drag

The hotel is difficult to get to and very out of the way of the city. The staff were sort of friendly and spoke English very well, but they were very unhelpful with guests. It was really pricy for the inconvenience. The room itself was standard, but not for the price you're paying. The wifi was quite bad too, only working in the lobby.

Filthy mattress, paid for a room but it was downgraded with not partial refund. They charge you for sheets, for the locker, for the towel and they charge you for dobious tax, and you do not know in advance if you reserve online. The mattress does not have a cover and you can be exposed to catch something ugly. Can't believe it is allowed to stay open!

Stay away!

Terrible. Absolutely terrible... No AC, ditry and noisy. People are smoking inside and I found ashes in one of the drawers. Check in later than time for check in - the check in time was set to 15.30 and I was told to wait intil 16.00 because they were "cleaning" the room (the room and especially the bathroom was not cleaned at all!!!). Not posible to open any kind of window because the only window in the room was placed in the loft (good design when it's raining - be alert of water in the room if you have the window open while it's raining).

It was a nice property, but it would be better if they put roommates together based on age. We were with three older ladies who did not care for us and were rude to us. Going in, our roommates found out we only spoke English, but they were clearly talking about and complaining about us when we were showing common courtesy. They seemed to have been there a while too. They were very loud and did not care for us. Staff gave us our sheets and were never seen again, and we needed to find them to check out. We felt very uncomfortable in our room, and the bathrooms were disgusting. It was decent enough, but I would not suggest this hostel for young people traveling around.
