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!!

Nice hostel with a great atmosphere & nice vintage decoration in the common area. Confortable and clean bedrooms & bathrooms. The hostel is also using super modern technology, as you'll need an app on your phone to use the elevator or open your room's door. Ultra warm welcome at the reception, super friendly staff, as I've rarely seen before :) Free welcome drink & great breakfast, cooked on demand. I didn't expect that so it was a nice surprise ! The only negative point I'll write is about the noise, as there was work in progress near the hotel (so not their fault at all...). To sum up : highly recommended place !

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!

Went on a lil solo trip for the weekend and this was such a good location, there’s all kinda of restaurants and supermarkets nearby, the duomo is super close, and central station is like 15 mins away. Besides the great location, the staff was also very nice (and they gave me a free tote bag even though I wanted to pay for it, it has their logo on it so it’ll be a cute memory)!!!!! And the room was very clean, just slightly cold in the winter like everywhere else, so just remember to pack well. Each hostel has their own bathroom, which is nice. The bathroom has a shower, toilet, sink, and electric towel rack to heat up and dry your towels. Very nice. Bathroom also comes with soap, toilet paper, shampoo, and body wash. The hostel also hosts parties and stuff, so it’s an easy way to meet new people. But the hostel also seems to attract nice and friendly guests, because I met some great people literally within 5 minutes of entering my room. :) I’ll definitely book again, but maybe at one of their other locations in Rome or Florence. (Picture attached is of the entrance of the hostel)

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.

The location was also very good near the Duomo. I went to the Duomo three times, once in the morning and once at night. Anyway, the location is really good. There is one from the main street, but it is safe and I would like to use it next time. The room was small, but it was clean and had an automatic card lock. It was a fun stay where I forgot my toothbrush and they showed me where to buy it even late at night, and they took great care of me in many ways.

This was my first experience in a hostel it was awesome !!! Thank you guys for these days, I really enjoyed everething. The hostel is so close to the Duomo, it has a lovely rooftop terassce and the rooms are very nice and the bed is good. You get a key for your locker whre you can deposite your stuff. If I m coming again in Milano, for sure I will stay at you. Breakfest was nice and the coffee is really good. Thank you !!

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.

Very good location, good wifi internet. Nice bathroom. Heat is on and hot water too. Good service from staff and friendly even. Nice place in the middle of Milan, central so you have many options to travel and transfer.
