New Generation Hostel Urban Brera - Milan

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

Good value for money. Excellent staff, always ready to help. Superb location: quite place next to the Sant'Angelo church, few steps from the yellow line metro station, 10-15 minutes walking to the Duomo, 10 minutes walking to the central train station. Clean room, with bathroom. Frige in room. Elevator :)

Breakfast is the same every day. Only 4 power plugs for 6beds room, which are located not very convenient. No individual lights. All are not critical.

TV room with only 3 not big tables, Breakfast: 1 croissant and broken coffee machine.

Close to metro and city center. Inexpensive. Pleasant staff. Tasty, but not a rich breakfast. Chamber for bag securely closed. The room is only 6 people. More is difficult.

Mosquitoes. Upper light shines in the face of the one who is on top. Caught neighbors louts who took my towel and trampled in the bathroom.

Towels, good location, only 6 per room, quiet disctrict.

Room not really clean, bathroom and toilets smelly and not clean at all.

The staff are excellent: prompt in services, very friendly, always available with superb internet and very satisfactory breakfast. Other room mates were wonderful and we were always having fun, touring and eating in unity as if we have known each other prior the union.

Am scared of mosquitoes-no mosquito nets

There is no free parking outside, dirty room and bathroom

The receptionists, Nicola and Manuele, were so helpful. They are the best receptionists. They provide useful information and are always smiling, making you feel comfortable in this wonderful hostel. Thanks Nicola and Manuele.

It is the location for the value that was the best part of the deal. For the family of four it was good that we could have the whole room (four beds) just for ourselves. Tight space in the room did not bother us too much as we wanted to see the city, not the hotel.

Unusual room design. Close to the city center (2-3 metro stops from Piazza Duomo). Wi-Fi and laundry are free of charge.

Breakfast is very poor. Rooms look a bit acsetic because of tile on the floor and black-and-white palette.

The Monastery Hostel was great, I loved the location, the service was excellent and the small breakfast was very satisfying. I can't wait to go back!
