Someone steal from my bag 40 euros. Recepcionist didn't help me I was very nervous about my stuff and when I'll back to my bed I fall to the floor. They did help me and I called ambulance. It was a nightmare trip in Milan. I traveled around the world and this kind of people is the worst... I'll never back to this hostel Someone can die there... And the people don't care.

I booked a bed in a 6-bed room and I was placed in a large 12-bed room. The conditions of the room were miserable and the bathroom was even worse, the room was noisy and the bed terrible. I needed to ask for a diffefent room and I was given as only possibility a private one for four people, which was terrible overpriced. Furthermore, the structure is not even in Città Studi, as it says on the website. Milan is full of much better accommodation options.
The staff was nice and somehow helpful.

“Not only rude, they attack you”

I was verbally assaulted and nearly hit by a horrible non-italian at the reception who literally throwed me out of the room because they wanted to clean it and I was sleeping on my bed and it was not my check out. Since they don’t change my bed linen there’s no point of me being out of the room which I booked for an 8 bed but they gave me a 14 bed dorm! They’re all non-italian, they take money ror bed linens for each night but if you are staying let’s say for 3 nights they don’t change it. That’s a fraud. The receptionists are all sneaky so if u’re there keep it low. Not to mention the breakfast which actually doesn’t exist. It’s too far from everything in the city, if you care about your well being, don’t go there. Bed bugs is as usual in their beds. Sometimes there’s no running water, the showers are a disater.

Too little plug sockets in the room, I didn't find a free one so I had to ask about the possibility of leaving my phone charging at the reception. Also, we had to share one double-bed in a common room instead of getting 2 separate beds. It wasn't a problem since me and my friend, we are best friends but I was a little bit surprised anyway. Moreover, there was no breakfast in the morning, even though it was included in the reservation. The guy at the reception told me that another guy, who was supposed to bring breakfast, GOT LOST and didn't come :) Of course, everything could happen but I had a feeling that it wasn't the first time and didn't just provide people with breakfasts at all.
The receptionist was nice, he gave us some good information we needed about local places and transportation. And the big plus was that there was always someone at the reception, even during the night, as it was written in the description of the hostel, so no cheating. Also, he printed a train ticket for us and took care of my phone, while it was charging at the reception during the night. The room was clean and cozy. The location is good, the hostel is in a quite area and city centre is not so far.
