2-Star Hotels in Milan

Just a word: I'm a shit! I have sleeped a night in this hostel for need (with two friends fortunately!!), an experience I don't advise anyone. At first the girl who checked in told us “it's a 50s hostel, so wait for this,” we thought at the beginning it was ironical but it was really like that. It was still in the 50s for the CLEASE speech. The structure is decadent, dirty. A room on the ground floor, half-stop door, “balcony” connecting to all the other rooms with door that is directly on the traffic without even a tent (so they could see inside)!!! The beds were linen, no couchs (and I have to say less bad, because I used the towels they provide you...). To do not mention the bathrooms with unexisting cleaning: washing boxes, bathrooms with no key to close, and on 5, 4 was without toilet paper. I did not do the shower for fear of the conditions in which it was. Well, I and my friends have laughed not to cry, but it would be a place to look again or close, given the price you ask for a night!!

What a great hostel, I’ve stopped at many hostels in my time but this was very much one of the better ones. I can only comment on our private room however. Friendly welcome, easy enough check in even though we arrived at 2am due to cancelled trains, not a problem! Great bar and area, things always happening. We saw a live jazz band in there for the one night we were there. Pub crawls, city tours for free, speed dating have it all. Our room was great, clean and comfortable. It was quite loud during the night, noisy neighbours (not the hostels fault) and a weird kind of opening of vents or something from the aircon possibly. Couldn’t put my finger on it but maybe worth looking at. Thankyou to the team!

All the staff is lovable (Mimi is the best tho). Daily and weekly activities so you will be more than busy. Plus. The bar will always be fun to hang out and have a couple laughs. You get a free beer once you check in + a 20% off in drinks, food was tasty and cheap! Couldn’t be better!

We booked here last minute as there was an issue with the other hostel we booked. We were in a mixed 4-bed dorm. The room was pretty clean and not too cramped and it had a bathroom attached as well. Sleep quality wasn't great as it was quite loud from outside and it got cold with the AC on all night and only a sheet to cover you, but that could just be me. Every bed had a box to put your stuff in that could be locked and unlocked with the fob attached to the room key which was very handy. There was an outdoor space with tables and chairs so you could sit or eat. The staff were nice and friendly as well. The hostel also had Wifi which seemed very reliable for what we needed it for. The location was perfect; a Lidl round the corner, a few minutes walk to the metro station and then a couple of stops on the metro and you're at the central station.

I´m not sure how it is like to stay at Ostelzzz for several nights, but I find it a very convenient solution for me who arrived around midnight in Milan, and already had leave from Milano Centrale by noon on the next day. I had a proper sleep for one night in a capsule. It really was a hostel, but with so much better privacy. Staffs were extremely kind and helpful. They gave me a welcome drink. Online check-in in advance made my actual check-in so much easier. Had everything I needed, incl breakfast, towel too. Clean and well-organized. Breakfast was simple, but more than good enough for me. I wouln´t hesitate to choose Ostelzzz next time.

NOTHING LIKE THE PHOTOS. Room felt like I was in jail. FaceTimed my friends back in america the entire night because I was scared, and refused to sleep in the bed so I ended up just checking out at 3 am as I would rather sleep in the Milan airport 7 hours before my flight than stay one more minute in that disgusting room. Walls and ceilings are paper thin and you can hear everything everyone on the floor is saying. Indian receptionist (man) was extremely rude and inserted himself into my friend and I’s business, asking if we got in a fight. We absolutely did not get in a fight we were having a normal conversation about MTV cribs, but since he could literally hear everything in the entire hotel, he made assumptions. He said we slammed the door which also never happened. Maybe if the rooms were updated and not creaky and gross it wouldn’t have sounded like that. When I checked out he proceeded to tell me something was wrong with my friend and that he was rude. (because the receptionist had the audacity to accuse my friend of getting in a verbal argument with me in our room. Again, this literally never happened.) maybe don’t listen to everything guests are doing and don’t make assumptions about stuff that is none of your business??? I cannot believe he had the audacity to tell me this at checkout. If it was a more popular chain hotel. I would have called and spoken to management about it. I was catfished by this hotels website. The bed was cardboard. The only good thing is the location is great.

I stayed here on my solo travelling trip. It was one of the cheapest options i could find but i'm so glad i went. I made awesome friends here and had a blast. The hostel has a bar which makes happy hour a perfect time to meet other people. If you don't want to spend heaps at bars the supermarkets nearby sold cheap alcohol which we brought back to the hostel rooftop. The hostel is within walking distance to most things in Milan and about a 20-30 min walk to Milano Centrale station. The only downside to this hostel was that the mosquito nets in our room were coming off of the windows which meant there were loads of mosquitoes in the room and we woke up with huge bites! All in all I was really happy with this hostel and would go back again.

Over the decades, we have decided that being close to a city's main train station is an important criterion for choosing our lodging. This place is an easy walk from Milano Centrale -- but it could be missed if you don't know exactly where to look! Once we got there, it was a nice stay. Even when using Google{R} maps and standing literally in front of the entrance, I had trouble locating this place, simply because the entrance is a door used by several businesses, and only a relatively small sign identifying that AV Hotel as one of those businesses. To get to that door after exiting Milano Centrale, (1) cross the main street in front of the stations's plaza, (2) turn left and walk on the sidewalk until you get to BPM (Banco Populare Milano), (3) turn right at this intersection to get on Via Recante, (4) you'll soon come to a door on the right, next to the cafe and across the street from the pizzeria, labelled ”a da recante 2” -- you should see a sign for ”AV Boutique Hotel” next to this door, (5) press the door button for this hotel, (6) tell the person that you're an arriving guest to get ”buzzed in,” and (7) ride the elevator up to the hotel. This sound FAR more complicated than it is, but knowing exactly what to do is a lot better than our feeling lost when standing in front of that door! Our room had a half-bath, phone, AC, hair dryer, free wifi, and TV with over 100 channels -- but none in English. It was clean, quiet, well-maintained, and had a great view of the station. Staff was friendly & professional. Since Milano Centrale is a five minute walk away, you can quickly get to all major tourist stops via Milan's mass transit system. For a wonderful continental breakfast, go next door to the Street Bar, and enjoy a cup of coffee with a pastry & a wonderful owner / server. Even in my short time there, I could tell a lot of regulars come in for their shot of caffeine along with some conversation. Just enjoy the real Italian experience! There are literally 100s of place to eat in this area, but the pizzeria across the street is a good place to start. A mini-mart is just a couple blocks away, where you can get inexpensive cold sodas, juices, and breads. If you want a good place close to Milano Centrale, this is a good choice.

Excellent hotel. From the balcony there is a view of the sea. Everything you need is there. Refrigerator, kitchen, washing machine. Nearby are beautiful views and beaches. Shops, pharmacies, bars, restaurants are all nearby. The hostess Maria is a very nice and helpful person. Had a great time. I recommend.
