Horrible . I've just red all the others reviews and I confirm. I had a prenotation but T had to change the date so I called and wrote to the structure many times, always witout answers. I got an answer just one time from a person that then I would have known to be the owner, that told me that the guy responsable for the reception wasn't there (.........) . I had to cancel the prenotation and of couse in theory if you pay for a service that you don't use , you get a cashback . It has benn a month and I called the structure to ask for more informations, the rube and arrogant owner of couse told me that I would have got the cashback if the conditions for it would have met, to wich I asked what contidions were those, and he replied that there were none. So yeah they are a Scam, don't go there.

This is not one star it is a ZERO!!! They are charging you for late check in (after 8pm) and it is written nowhere. You dont get any receipt, they are laying you ll get an email like confirmation for paying but you dont get nothing. When I asked again for that, they started yelling and also refused to give us hairdryer which was working cause our in the room wasn't working. Not to mention that entrance looks like a garage where you ll end up kidnapped. Awful experience.

I had relatively low expectations coming here from some bad reviews but we had a great experience at this hostel ! Place was very clean with beds being made and bins emptied on the second day (we stayed 3 nights) and the staff were nice. Location was perfect, 2 minute walk to metro which took around 10/15 minutes to get into the city centre. Loads of shops and restaurants nearby. One negative would be the bathroom there is only one and the shower is in the same room as the toilet so if someone was showering you had to wait. You also don’t get a key to your room so I would recommend maybe paying for a locker; we just put stuff in the locker and closed it to pretend it was locked. I would definitely recommend coming here, for the price and location it’s perfect!

Me and two more friends stayed two nights at the Milano Lion Hostel. Due to some changes on our trip, we needed to book an extra night, but the communication with the hostel was so difficult, we had to give up and book that extra night at some place else.  We arrived at the hostel; the entrance is a somewhat creepy garage looking place. We got inside, and the horrible feet smell is impossible to ignore. The receptionist was nice and proceeded to make us a tour of the place. We stayed at the feminine dorm, it was not the best-looking room, but the beds looked clean enough. We then moved on to see the kitchen, that funny enough, was right next to the only single bathroom they had, for most of the hostel guests (not bathroom stalls)!The tour ended in our room again, with the receptionist saying - "The rooms have no keys because we are here 24hours".  Overall, the whole place looks disgusting; we did not feel safe knowing that literally anybody could get in our room any time; the bathroom is almost a public bathroom, since there are only two for the whole hostel. The only good thing about that place, was leaving! And the location wasn’t the worst either.

Pleasantly surprised by this hostel, especially considering the price. The staff were so helpful with telling us the best places to go, Navigli in particular is the best place to go for bars. So close to the metro which is only €2 and can travel all around Milan. The room was not spotless although was still pretty clean, but not surprising considering the price. Was happy with the fact that the gates closed at 12:30 and if we wanted to get in past that time we would have to ring the reception bell, where reception was open 24/7. We had access to a kitchen and a fridge which was an added bonus and a cute courtyard area as seen in the pictures. Would definitely recommend staying here despite the bad views!!

STATE ALLA LARGA DA QUESTO POSTO. Dopo errore di data nella prenotazione, arriviamo sul posto scoprendo che avevamo prenotato per un altro giorno e ci viene proposto di pagare la notte lì in reception per poi ricevere la cancellazione e il rimborso della data prenotata. Cosa mai avvenuta e dopo diverse e-mail e dopo essere addirittura andato in sede per litigare, la reception ha rimangiato tutto dicendo che avrei potuto anche procedere con la denuncia perché tanto i miei soldi erano persi. Inoltre confermo cosa dicono tutte le altre recensioni negative circa il responsabile della reception maleducato.

Worst hostel ever experienced in my whole life. Absolutely dirty and smelly, unprecedented levels of indecency. The staff (Mr Bitor & Mr Mamdoh) at the front desk totally unprepared and arrogant. a shame that people like this ruin in such a way a hostel that could be a beautiful place to stay. I do not recommend anyone to go to this dangerous and dirty facility.

Disgusting behaviour from the staff. Do not stay anywhere near this place. . My son booked a night in a mixed room and when he arrived they told him he didn’t have a room so threw him out onto the street

The beds were nice enough. The ensuite toilet/shower absoutley reeked of urine for the entire three night stay. The issue was raised with the front desk but nothing was done. Furthermore, the shower did not work and we had to go to the other side of the hostel to find a working shower. The staff at the front desk didn't seem to interested in doing their jobs.
