In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

3 reasons to book

Worth weighing

  • Dining scores low — The breakfast is simple, and there's no restaurant; many guests found the food options limited.
  • Rooms are basic — Rooms are simple and may feel sparse; the property is a 2-star hostel with shared bathrooms.
  • Not the quietest or most private — The hostel is adults-only and has a dormitory option, which can mean mixed noise levels; the building is residential.

“This hostel sits in a lovely old town area very close to a bus stop, which made reaching the city center easy. The rooms were tidy, staff were friendly and helpful, and breakfast was simple but nice with tea, coffee, and croissants. It felt homely and was a good base for exploring.”

“I stayed three days and the manager was incredibly kind—he even offered pizza and wine on arrival. The room was comfortable, the bathroom was kept spotless, and he gave excellent sightseeing tips. Supermarkets and good restaurants were close by, including the best pizza of my life about a 10-minute walk away near San Siro.”
