Clean and good location, good value
Property is kind of like a university dormitory with a shared kitchen area and then several rooms and a shared bathroom along a corridor. I had an en-suite which was basic but clean and all I needed. Because of the layout there was quite a lot of noise from other guests who weren't very considerate - playing music, having loud conversations and moving furniture at all hours but this is probably just dependent on who else is there during your stay and not the fault of the property. Staff were friendly and helpful and the property is a good location to get into central easily (walking or via metro) and also to the airport as the train station is only 5 minutes walk.

Middle of the road.
Let’s get a few things straight: this is NOT a BnB, it’s about a hostel accommodation with private rooms, that being said it suffers from a mediocre complex, the property could be fantastic if it wanted, unfortunately it fell really short. The good: The location can’t be beat for the price. There’s a subway line right next to it, lots of local amenities and accessible to most of Milan, fairly central for the price. The balcony is also a great feature. The bad: The staff was rather unenthusiastic but helpful, I’m unsure if it was because of translation but even at check in the guy seemed fairly uninterested in explaining anything, even though the check in is in a completely other building. When I asked for a fork for food I was told to go buy one. None of the amnentities described were there and the staff laughed when I asked. The ugly: The property in itself COULD be great, however suffers from lack of investment. The entire property smells like cigarettes, in fact the first room I was in was so bad that I had to move due to my asthma, the second one was hardwood but suffered the same problem. There’s black sheen in the walls and I wanted to see if it was mold or not so I wiped my towel and it turned out it was cigarette ash that coated the walls and carpeting. The elevator was out daily, which wouldn’t have been an issue but the up worked on it at odd hours with jackhammers. No replacement towels were ever given.

Plan on paying tax with cash, no ATM too near. Check in staff very kind and helpful. Close to the metro line and central station. We had only a fan, it was pretty hot and couldn't leave the window open because there were too many mosquitos. Bathroom was shared but it wasn't a problem at all, had a free coffee machine and dry toast for snack/breakfast.

Close to bus stop to airport for me, so convenient location. Overall pretty clean. Strict shower rules with a 10 minute limit and no later than 23:00. Could be a good thing or bad thing, depends who you are.

Great location, 10 mins aways from Central Station. Steps from Sondrio metro station, so its an easy move to anywhere in the city. Check in process was quick and room was perfect. Comfortable bed. Even though the room is kindda small, the balcony makes up for it. Staff was great and helpful. Would definitely recommend.

The room was lovely, though sharing a wall with the shared bathroom was not nice. You can hear anything that's going on in there early in the morning! Also there was a club in the garden next to the building with a loud party that finished 3am. Other than that, very close to the metro station wich is super convenient!

Clean rooms but shared bathroom
The rooms were clean and the staff were helpful. My main issue however, was that it was unclear that bathrooms were outside the hotel rooms and were to be shared with other guests, if this was clearer I would have booked a different hotel.

Pros and cons
Very noisy flat and building overall. I incurred in a €6.00 council fee that was not mentioned in the original reservation. B&B should mean Bed & Breakfast but breakfast was not even contemplated. Well connected area, the room was very clean.

Not a bad place to stay
The hostel was really good, the girl at the reception was very nice and helpful. The room was clean and tidy. The bad thing is that the hearing stops at night when it is coldest. The water in the bathroom was cold, it turned hot only once during my stay.

Decent for Milan on a budget
So this place had a decent location, decent staff and decent room. I would never rave about how amazing it is, but everything was certainly good enough for the price. Milan is an overpriced city as it is, so you can't really go wrong with going here.

Wrong address!!!
Wrong address on google maps and the website!! Ended up waking to three different areas to find the guesthouse in heavy rain. I was told I wasn't the only one who went through this... maybe they should update google maps and the website to have the correct address. Apart from that, everything was okay.

Fabulous staff, proximity to Central Station good
Overall the stay was pleasant. The rooms were clean and bright and comfy bed and good shower. Not really much else. We went for the location and price was very very good. On our doorstep we had Sondrio Metro station and within 10 minutes we were at Milan Central Station. The rooms could do with better ventilation and windows as it got very stuffy on the hotter days and could be loud if facing the road particularly as its opposite a school. But the staff were amazing! Super helpful and you can keep luggage there all day for a small fee till late. I initially thought breakfast was included as the name suggests B & B, but this was only one B. It didn't matter too much in the end as we were out very early.

Not my cup of tea
I spent only one night and I booked it because it was close to the railway station. Nothing special. Small single room and bed that gets really hot in summertime. Be careful before booking with no refund option, becasue if you need to do the check in after 21:00 you will be charged (really expensive) and after 00:00 is even more expensive. If this is the case I would recomend you to book somewhere else. The communication was good... until you need to comunicate with them after 21:00; they give you a phone number but I couldn't contact anyone the same night to let them now my arrivng time (you will be talking to one of this talking machines with options). Fortunately there was someone working at the reception.

Terrible and horrible experience!!!!!!!!!
If you come to Milan for a pleasant journey, DON'T COME TO THIS B&B! We stayed at both their branches 66 and 71, and we had horrible experience there, the room doesn't have AC but the staff promised us there's a fan in the room which is not! And we asked for one they turned us down! The room is SO HOT and if we open the window the noises and mosquitoes keep us awake, we couldn't sleep at all!!!!! There was one room we stay even doesn't have curtains!!!! That was ridiculous! The bathroom smells and the shower head is broken, and the water temperature is very changeable.Also there are so many ridiculous rules in this B&B, for instance we have to take the bath before 23, we can't stay at the lobby after 22, but these all can be understood, but what we are very upset about is once you checked out, you are no longer to stay there, even the lobby ( we left the keys early but it still the legal time to stay at the lobby cuz we still the customer), but the cleaning staff kicked us out!!!!! How ridiculous and unacceptable, once they have your money, they treat you like garbage. We won't recommend to any one of our friends and families AT ALL!!!!!!!

We rang to ask if we could drop a bag into reception & were told that was fine but when we arrived it cost €1 per bag, just for a rucksack. We only wanted to leave it for 2 hours. Never known this is any other accommodation. Tea & coffee provided & good location for central station, metro & airport bus. Clean. Air conditioning is stated in 'features' but was just a fan. VERY hot in June!

Great Bargain, Great Room, Great Location
Don't hesitate to book! :D Information: The hotel is not in zone 1 Milan, but the tube is right outside the hotel and takes 5 minutes into central Milan. It only costs €8 for a 48 hour pass. You will not get somewhere as nice and cheap as this in zone 1. The hotel is 5 min walk from central station though, which is great for getting coaches / trains to and from the airport. The hotel own a floor in a block of oldish apartments. Don't be put off! Once inside the BB I Am Here area it's clean, bright and modern. The rooms are lovely. The bathroom is shared, but modern and clean. Never had any issues with queuing to use it - only a few rooms per bathroom. Not exactly breakfast included though - there is coffee and juice provided and factory sealed croissants and toast - but it does the job! Staff at reception were helpful, friendly and relaxed. Answered questions we had about getting around the city, things to see and other little tips. Overall a great B&B for the price. Milan is an amazing city, you won't be disappointed!
