Very nice!”

I stayed at Babila only for one night and first of all I got a good impression as the building from outside looks very antique and beautiful. The reception staff is also very helpful and welcoming. The room is packed with travelers as well so sometimes it is a bit smelly from everyone's long joyful day however I did not mind it at all, as long as I have my own personal locker it is good and Babila has it. The only thing I did not like is the shower room which is very small and not very convenient, I am a very petite person myself however I still struggle with my showering. Other than that Babila is a great hostel and offer a simple yet delicate breakfast buffet meal.

Nice hostel”

Very good hostel, clean and comfortable beds, and different activities every night. The breakfast had fruit, bread, pastries, cereal and soja milk available. The only “negative” thing is that the sound of the live music went up to the bedroom, so if you are an early bird and want to sleep before 11pm better carry some earplugs.

Double check the rooms you are booking, some of the air conditioners do not work and it’s incredibly hot in Milan during summer. ”

Like what i mentioned in the title, double check the facilities of the room. I am a solo-traveller that booked the hostel for 3 nights and I am on my last night as I was making this review. My bookings were split into 2, 1st for 1 night and the 2nd for the remaining 2 nights. My 1st booking was okay, the air conditioner was working. On my 2nd booking, where I spent 2 more nights, I didn’t manage to sleep well because of the air conditioner that is not working. We have to open the windows of the entire room and I kept on waking up because of the insects biting my skin. It’s terrible so double check the property when you’re doing the booking. Location wise, the hostel’s close to everything but will not consider staying here again if I go back to Milan.

I payed around €32 per night, which I thought was a bit pricey for a hostel but perhaps it’s a normal price in a big city and Milano. However, I was very happy with Babila Hostel which had a really great location, only 5-10 minutes walking from the Duomo and the city centre. The 8 bed dorm was great and also had two en-suite showers and a bathroom. The whole building was clean and the normal hostel breakfast was included. If you want to leave you luggage after checkout you can bring your own lock and leave it safe in the basement. Overall I’m very happy I chose Babila hostel.
