Large comfortable room Bed was reasonably comfortable Even provided a lovely cot for our baby upon request, and tried very hard to accommodate our request for a temporary parking permit Breakfast was lovely Friendly and all-in-all quiet, restful hostel, which was welcome Lovely and cool and amazingly pretty mosquito-free within its grounds The bathrooms were of a good, modern standard and were clean

Unfortunately we were not able to enjoy the courtyard and veranda surrounding as much as we might have, because the courtyard garden seemed to be the designated smoking area. It might be more representative of the general culture/attitude around smoking in Italy rather than to this particular hostel. We left/avoided the courtyard whenever anyone smoked to avoid exposing our child to second hand smoking. It would be lovely to have a separate designated area for smoking, so that non smokers can enjoy the available green space as well.

The staff was so lovely, friendly and accommodating! Really made for a great experience. The facilities are extremely clean, specially for a hostel, and I loved how basically every room had almost their own bathroom - I never had to wait to use it, and the water pressure was PERFECT as well as the hot water, taking showers there was great. The hostel is inside a park so a lot of green spaces, every morning when I woke up I could listen to the birds singing and it was so peaceful with the sun entering through my windows. The kitchen is spacious, you can cook there if you want, and it was a nice bonus that breakfast is included, you save some money there. Lots of books and board games available in the common areas, free wifi, and the metro is very close. In only a few stops you are in the city center. I definitely would stay here again!

The rooms are quite spacious - not the most comfortable beds in the worl but honestly not too bad, particularly for the price.

Loved the facilities and the staff was super nice, helpful and friendly. They were also able to accommodate for my needs which I really appreciated. They have lockers with sufficient space in the room and the beds were comfy. I also really lived the common lounge area and the kitchen is very homely. Close to restaurants and shops; easy to get there from the train station and the staff will even send you a video to guide you. I'd definitely stay here again!

Breakfast wasn't fantastic (for the price it was probably alright though) and in the lower floor the bathroom wasn't in good condition, the shower didn't work in that floor and there was only one toilet, although if you don't go in high season that's not really too problematic.

Very nice staff making surprises for their guests. Free coffee&milk and breakfast! It saved me so much :D I felt safe, had my privacy as I was alone in the room. It was warm and quiet.

The bathroom was a bit dirty (hair) and the mattress&pillow were not 100% convenient. Plus I’m tall and was placed on the bottom bed, so I hit my back about the corner of the bed at night.

Very good value for the money! Very near to a train and metro station, the area feels save at night. The premises of the hostel are nice, too. The bed was comfortable, the bedsheets were very clean. Enough of sockets for everybody to charge the devices. The lockers are big, have a couple of hangers, too. The showers were OK, nothing exceptional, but nothing bad either, the toilet was decent. There is always enough free showers/toilets. The breakfast was much better than I expected! Even better than in some hotels I have been to :p I would definitely stay here again.

Most of the staff was nice and helpful, but some allow themselves some discriminating remarks.

OstellOlinda in Milan offers a unique and welcoming stay, nestled in a tranquil and historic setting. The highlight of my experience was Valentina, whose exceptional hospitality made my visit truly memorable. She was incredibly attentive, offering insightful tips about the city and ensuring all my needs were met. Valentina's warm and friendly demeanor created a home-like atmosphere, making OstellOlinda a standout choice for anyone visiting Milan.

Although OstellOlinda doesn't have air conditioning, it didn't take away from the overall wonderful experience.

I stayed here for four nights in total. The grandma and grandpa work there are so kind and lovely, make me feel like a home. The public spaces are spacious and clear with lovely gardens inside and outside the building. It’s quite and also just a short walk to metro station. Another bonus is the weekend local market just in front of the location. The vibrant is great, you can source lots of fresh and cheap local foods and fruits here and cook in the well equipped kitchen.

Some washroom equipment are malfunctioning, but there are several of them upstairs, so it’s not a big problem.

The place is pretty clean. The bed is neat, and the matress is warm as well. When we arrive, the receptionist is really nice and welcoming. He guides us through the area and also helps us to move the luggage to the room. We also have a little breakfast prepared by the hostel. There is a kitchen, a dining room for us to cook and eat. In general, it is worth the price.

The place is quite far from the central area, but you can take metro M3 and it only takes around 15 to 20 minutes.

Here’s a review you can use or tweak: "I had an amazing stay at this hostel in Milan! The staff were incredibly nice and helpful, always ready to assist with anything I needed. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, making me feel right at home. The location was convenient, and the facilities were clean and well-maintained. I highly recommend this place for anyone visiting Milan. Thank you to the wonderful staff for making my trip so enjoyable!"

Convenient location - in the park, close to the metro and train station, pleasant price, and polite staff. Additionally, we were able to use the kitchen, which was equipped with a kettle and a microwave. We did not have a private bathroom in our room, so we used the shared one, which was always clean.

The rooms are poorly renovated, old, and the furniture is slightly falling apart.
