Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort

Semplice ma pulitissimo!

La mia esperienza è stata sicuramente positiva. La struttura è simpatica, solare e accogliente, così come l'accoglienza e il trattamento. L'ostello ha delle aree comuni carine e ben tenute piene di libri a disposizione degli ospiti. La colazione è semplice ma buona e sul momento ti preparano a scelta cappuccino, tè o caffè. La posizione è molto comoda alla metro lilla e comoda allo stadio di San Siro in caso di concerti o partite. L'unica nota un po' dolente era la manutenzione straordinaria della camera che lasciava un po' a desiderare, mancava una rinfrescata ai muri e la tenda a rullo non aveva il fermo. Comunque la pulizia della camera era eccezionale!

Comodo per una notte

Personale gentile, camera quadrupla spaziosa e pulita, belli anche gli spazi comuni. Le finestre non isolano bene dal rumore esterno e la colazione è un po' povera. Mancano delle luci da letto personali.

bon séjour

hostel très bien, très propre avec un accueil sympathique. Par contre, un peu loin du Duomo si vous marchez mais à deux rues d'une station de métro. Fonctionnelle, petit dej basique inclus. Séjour parfait. Par contre prévoyez les boules quies car les autres résidents ne sont pas toujours respectueux et parlent fort ou claquent les portes le soir.

The experience in this hostel was not good.

The staff of this hostel is very impolite to the customers. I don't know why they can't check my booking with Expedia.com. And even the staff from Expedia could not contact the staff from this hotel. They replied me with an email which was full of letters with double underline and extra large wordings, telling that it's a must to when I check in. However, I have used Expedia to book hostel rooms for many times and every time it's fine to pay with credit card. Therefore, this is clearly not my problem.

Ostello molto grazioso

Il caffè letterario GOGOL'OSTELLO è situato in un punto strategico a due passi dalla Metro e quindi ideale per spostarsi in città, inoltre risulta molto pulito ma la colazione lascia un po' a desiderare (spero sia una critica costruttiva). Per pranzo o cena consiglio la pizzeria Mela Rossa di Jimmy (ottime pizze) molto vicino all'ostello (chiedete alla proprietaria Asli).

Un ostello davvero accogliente e carino

L'arredamento da club letterario e l'atmosfera di grande accoglienza del personale sono i punti forti di questo ostello. Molto pulito e curato, in zona centralissima di Milano, e fantastico per me che sono un pigro dormiglione l'orario della colazione inclusa dalle 7.00 alle 11.00

Gute Anbindung zur neuen Metro Linie 5

Sehr nettes Hostel - wie überall in Italien nur süßes/sparsames Frühstück - da sollte man lieber im nahegelegenen Lebensmittelladen zukaufen. Das Hostel hat auf der 2. Etage Abendprogramm (Tanz/Gesang/Lesung) bis ca. 22:00 - wenn das Zimmer direkt nebenan liegt, kann es etwas laut werden. Englischkenntnisse sind hier sehr gut!

soggiorno perfetto. Mi serviva un punto di appoggio per andare al MIP e la distanza dell'albergo è perfetta. camera silenziosa e con aria condizionata, WiFi incluso. Colazione come al bar.

Un bel soggiorno anche a Milano senza dissanguarsi

Il soggiorno, con mio figlio, è durato 3 notti. Abbiamo apprezzato molto la gentilezza e la disponibilità della reception, l'arredamento essenziale e i colori in generale, la scelta di rendere facilmente disponibili anche dei libri di vario genere, il silenzio della zona. Unica pecca il frastuono di una notte allorchè un gruppo di giovani stranieri ha schiamazzato sino a tarda ora in una hall vicino alla nostra stanza. Per fortuna il giorno dopo sono partiti!
