New Generation Hostel Urban Brera - Milánó

the location

that the pictures do not depict the reality.

Great location, convenient to the downtown fashion district and historical center. Breakfast was as described by hotel and better (in my opinion) than described by most reviews. Breakfast is a typical Italian breakfast: the pastries were freshly baked (hot/warm), coffee from a machine, no juice though. They didn't set a limit on how many you could eat. Room had a small refrigerator, a major plus! Room was large, and had numerous wall plugs. No carpet, carpet always stinks even in 5 star hotels. Bathroom was large. Staff were friendly and helpful, spoke good English.

Room was not very clean, my wife called the room dirty, but I have seen much worse in *** hotels. The black portion of the floors were painted, not tile, and paint was chipping from floor. Windows were open upon arrival, and mosquitoes entered the room, big ones. Mosquitoes were larger than the ones in Louisiana, and bit us all night. Smashed mosquitoes on the walls were a warning to entering guests, that "mosquitoes are a problem". Mosquitoes were the major complaint for me. Shelves in the closet were broken, and bar to hang clothes was about 10 feet high - my wife couldn't reach it to hang her clothes. We had to ask for towels, included for us, but I saw other guests paying 2.oo euros for towels. We had to get "issued" our pillows and sheets, like in the military, and make our own "racks". . . ok, not a problem, but to know for future guests. Parking was a major issue, and not cheap. Plan around 30.00 a day for parking, or more. Best for travelers arriving with train/metro and not a car. Free parking, for all practical purposes is non existent.

Air conditioner

Big disappointment. dirty rooms, poor breakfast, disappointed first meeting with hotelpersonal who wanted o give us another smaller room then the one we paid for and waned to charge same amount of money´, till we called bokin.com and got great help! We have to take you’re the sheets you get from hotel with you and make the bed and then take them off and give them in the reception. No parking near by. The nearest one cost 30 euro/day.

I liked all things except bed.

The 2nd floor bed is so dangerous.

Location and price, perfect for short stay with friends

Toilet is not so clean, bedset is poor

Staff are nice. Lobby is bright and wifi is in good signal. Breakfast is ok. Room options for 3 or 4 persons available. Good for small budget.

Room is a bit old and dirty.

Beds kept an intimate space even in a shared room.

Cleaningness And again, clean! Breakfast could be easily improved (just ask the owner to try it once and it will be chnged inmediately, just like tell him/her to have a shower in one of the bathrooms, at least room 24)

The sheet is clean.

The room was terribly freezing! The heater was not working at all! Everyone in the room was wearing jacket to sleep. Otherwise you just couldn't sleep well. The bathroom wall should re-painted again. Looks dirty. The breakfast is really poor. There should be more then 1 light in the room.

The staff is amazing (nicola is really helpful and efficient) and the location is perfect, less than ten minutes walking to the central station and to the duomo; 20min by tube to navigli (35min walking). My room was very clean and comfortable with bathroom and locker inside! The wifi is free and fast, they give u sheet, blanket, pillow, tower and soap! Laundry is free as well! I really recommend I stayed more than 6 nights in the monastery hostel!

The breakfast could be much better!

No heater in the room. It's too cold during the night. The bed is very very dirty, you kan see the white furfural on the sheet. The reception guy is very impatient. I asked him to show my room first and how many people gonna live here today, he said why you ask me so much, do you want to live here or not. Then I check the room and found out that the heater is broken. He said we will open it at 5 in the afternoon. But in the evening when I came back, the room is still cold, I asked to change to another room, it needs long time to wait until the room becomes warm. The rest 2 days, no body to take care about the room.

Dorms are nice - loved the design of the beds, the lockers are good and spacious (could fit my suitcase and backpack easily) Staff is helpful Location is good - is possible to walk to the Central station (20 minutes) and city centre (Piazza del Duomo - 25 minutes)

Not enough plugs in the dorm - only 2 for six beds / people

The staff is very helpful, the rooms are big enough and with private bathroom. There is also nice Italian breakfast included. Close to the center and the metro station.

The covers and pillows are a bit worn-out.

good location, 15 min walk to city centre, friendly staff

room and bathroom very dirty, smelly with hole in the ceiling, unconfortable bed

Good location, clean

Hangers in the cupboard were really so high. We had to climb onto the chair to reach the top.
