Hotel Midtown

I highly recommend this hotel! People from the reception were very welcoming and friendly, the dorms are decent and clean, the location of the hotel is well connected by buses and trams. The only negative point is that there is no kitchen, but this is fine for a few nights.

Stayed here for 3 nights and then returned the next week on our way out of Milan. It was a little hard to find and the nearby Dateo metro station is currently being built so we had to walk from garibaldi station, about 30 mins. You click the hotel buzzer by the door and they let you in and follow the signs to the entrance. Staff were lovely, really helpful and polite. We stayed in a private room for the 3 nights, room 3 I believe. The room was what we expected, a place to sleep, it was clean and exactly what we needed. Strange having a shower in the room, no frosted glass/privacy but I guess this wouldn't be an issue for couples, we instead used the shared bathroom. It was relatively clean and we were provided with towels, soap and toilet roll. The shower was okay but the drain blocked easily and took ages to drain, but they cleaned them daily so it wasn't particularly an issue. There was a tv and Airconditioning in the room and a frosted glass window. We didn't realise that the air con and breakfast were free, we booked on hostle world and were informed on there that it was €10 for air con and €2 for breakfast and yet we were never charged for these so I think thay may just need to update this. It is about a half an hour walk to milano central station and half an hour walk to the Duomo. The reception is open 24hrs so once you check in you can stay out later which was nice. Overall would definitely stay in a private room again. I would not recommend the shared dorms however. We stayed in this room for 1 night and it was clear that you definitely don't get the same treatment as in the private rooms. There were 4 bunk beds, no sheets were provided. Half of the lockers were broken and there was no privacy. We came in late and there was a girl sleeping so we were as quiet as possible but just as we were going to bed 2 more people came in and the staff member put the main light on waking people up. It was very noisy and hot and the bathroom had black mould and was not as clean as the other one (also shower doors were rusty and broken). We then had the Airton on but it then got so cold and we didn't have sheets so it was extremely uncomfortable. The reception phone also kept ringing and was very loud. Overall I would recomend this place for a short stay in private room. A lot of the other reviews are very negative but honestly you get what you paid for, it's somewhere to sleep relatively close to the centre, if you are looking for a luxury experience go else where, but if you just need somewhere to sleep and shower it is perfect.
