Ostello California - Hostel

It was very nice hostel for a day

It only place with this budget, but if you look for more things, better go out of Milan and use public transport to come( milan city tax was super high 6 euro)

The bad was good but it’s confusing when I need to open the door

When I made the registration at the reception, I was asked for an additional 5 euros 40 cents, it is not clear why.In the room where there are 2 bunk beds, I was deliberately told that only the 2nd tier is free, but this is not true.There were 4 more free 1 tiers in the room. Bed linen and towels are not given to you at all.In the room, they can talk loudly on the phone without understanding the rules of decency. My bunk bed was wobbly.I do not recommend this hostel to anyone

I strongly discourage anyone from booking this hostel. The place was dirty - the mattresses were clearly old and dirty and covered in plastic, the lockers were dirty and it was not possibile to lock them. We couldn't lock our room, reception was not attended by anyone during the night, and there were people coming and going in at all times. Our room was near the entrance, so it felt very unsafe. There were only 2 bathrooms for the whole floor, that was 2 bathrooms for about 30+ people approx. I booked for a 4-bed dormitory room but when I arrived my bed was taken by someone else, so the staff had me stay in 8-bed dormitory room. The staff was trying to be helpful but they couldn't speak any good Italian nor English. The place felt borderline legal and I think Booking should inspect it before they keep advertising it. This is the first time I write a bad review for a place I booked, but this experience was truly terrible and I think many people be led to book this place because the reality does not match the way it is advertised.
