YellowSquare Reviews: Milan
Located in the heart of the Porta Romana district, YellowSquare Milan offers female-only dorms, shared dorms, and private ensuite rooms. Instead of a formal office, we have The Baretto, a laptop-friendly space where you can work, study, and eat during the day before it turns into an aperitivo and social meeting spot. Salone14 is our events hub in Milan, it's a local 'it-spot' where travelers and locals meet for live music, DJ sets, stand-up comedy, karaoke, and creative projects, it's more like a nightlife without leaving the hostel.
So clean an comfy and the people were very nice!
Great staff and facilities. Although price was a little high, room was cleaned and I have no complaint about it.
Very good service, nice food, polite and helpful staff, perfekt bed, pleasant atmosphere. I am admired with organisation, that it is possible to do many things in the hostel, not just to sleep and eat.
I recently stayed at YellowSquare and had a fantastic experience overall. The hostel is not situated at the city center but it was close to a metro stop that takes directly to city center which makes it easier to explore the city. The facilities were well-maintained, with a kitchen and cozy lounge area. Cleanliness was good throughout the dormitories, bathrooms, and common spaces, but for some reasons my blanket smelled really bad. The staff were really nice and helpful. I highly recommend it.
I really like this hostel, good and friendly environment, the staff are 5*.
I wish there were curtains for the beds to give more privacy. I also found the blanket dirty, filled with spots. There should be a duvet cover provided. I did not want to sleep with the blanket and instead I used a jacket to keep me warm. Of course that was insufficient because I was still cold.
Good location, close to the metro, nice cafés/bakerys around. 30 minutes walk to the city center (Dome square) which I recommend for nice weather.
Check In/Out very uncomplicated, nice staff. Overall everything was clean and the bathroom was cleaned daily.
However, the room I stayed in was tiny and overheated. The beds are very squeaky and the metal wall on the back is problematic as you have to be careful at any turn not to touch it or to lean against it (otherwise you wake up the whole room).
Somebody brought someone into the room for the night which I only noticed the morning I left. So it was no problem for me for the moment, but leads to questions regarding security.
The co-working space is also used as office for the hostel staff who have their meetings and (long) calls and there is nothing for noise control. This makes it difficult for concentrated working or own calls.
Besides that I appreciated the free water at the reception and the kitchen for own cooking.
Super clean, super friendly, very organized. Stayed in a 4 bed female dorm and really appreciated the cleanliness and our ensuite bathroom. The price you pay and what you get are in good relation.
I stayed for 3 nights and it was a very beautiful experience! For starters the staff was really helpful. The room was a bit hard to find in building B but the place was super pretty and cozy and the environment was really friendly.
The room itself was fine, only the bedsheets smelled a bit off for some reason. Maybe they weren’t washed properly. Even the roommates were really kind and cheerful!
Amazing, fresh, lots of things to do
I had a really positive experience at Yellow Square Milan. The place was clean, and the service was just fantastic – they truly made me feel welcome. The bed was super comfortable, ensuring a good night’s sleep. One suggestion I have is to consider adding a cozy sofa area for guests to relax in, and maybe curtains by the beds for extra privacy, especially in shared rooms. I think these touches would make the stay even more enjoyable for many. Grazie, siete degni di raccomandazione! 👌
I stay there fore nights they was amazing i felt like my home ,and all of staff was friendly and good behaviour thank you😊
Very good place to stay, staff friendly and helpful. Private room comfortable and clean. Metro station near by and restaurants, everything that you need.
The rooms were clean and provided all I needed. Staff was amazing.
Enjoyed my fast one-night stay at yellowsquare, positioned bit outside of main area, which is more of a plus than a minus – cheaper eats, stores, and a very nice walk to the main attractions that gives a chance to see more of milano
As always, everything was amazing. The staff is super nice (shoutout to Amy and Luca 😍)
Little tiny thing about the transport but it’s more by night so not YS fault.
YellowSquare is a great place to stay with friends or by yourself! They offer great activities and events, making it easier to make friends and get to know people! The location is perfect, the staff is kind and the hostel structure is awesome! The only tiny little thing I would recommend would be a body mirror in the 4 people bedroom (I really missed this one). But I couldnt say my experience was less than perfect! <3
We loved our stay, the atmosphere was amazing, it is a very good place to stay if you like a vivid and playful place to stay. There was a lof of locals haging in the hostel bar, which was a lovely surprise for us that really enjoyed spending some time with some italians in Milan. Also a very nice and full of simpathy staff. The location was very close to the Metro which gives you a very way to move around Milan. Even with the parties or busy bar there was no sound coming on to our room! Great time and for sure will recommend to more people.
The staff are nice, the decoration is amazing, and I like that you can join the activities they offer, also I saw people cleaning every day.
The kitchen or the menu of the coffee/restaurant does not so much variety.
Clean and nice, loved it.
I had low standards for my experience considering the context of my trip/backpacking. The price of 36 euros to share a small room with 5 people seems a little dystopic and the hostel discount for the bar wasn’t so generous. But after grieving the money I already knew I would give, everything went smoothly and I got out of the hostel exactly what I wanted. Some safety (lockers), good roommates and a place to rest my head for 6 hours. I’m not interested to visit milano anytime soon but for the future, try to consider leaving at least one table/chair outside at the hallway of exit. Chain them to something to prevent theft. Being from a city that has a strong nightlife I could use a place to sit down and have a smoke while it rained at 2AM.
For a first timer in a hostel, I did feel comfortable and enjoy my time.
It was the first time in a hostel and it was great! Thank you for the hospitality we had fun! It was a nice experience
Rooms are super clean and the building is amazing (very practical and full of beautiful amazing places). The luggage room and the communal kitchen literally saved our lives. The staff is very nice and helpful (great restaurants recommendations). Food is very yummy.
This was my first time at a hostel so I was a little nervous, but this place was fantastic!! The common areas were homey and a great place to meet people, even if you’re shy like me. The food and drink options were plentiful and well priced. The only negative thing I have to say is that my room smelled a little funky, but other than that I had an incredibly positive experience! Would definitely come back here if I’m ever back in Milan and would recommend it to anyone.
Great experience, I stayed 4 nights in the hostel, th staff was very helpful, there is a kitchen available and a cafe, a lot of different events are organised. I did the Milano Tour and it was a great way to discover some places and get to know some people.
Everything was great, we arrived at night and check-in was very easy, we had no problems. Very good atmosphere and it’s great that there are activities every night.
It was my first time in a hostel and It was the best environment I could find!
I really enjoyed my stay there! Everyone was really nice, great environment…simply excellent 🙂
We couldn’t have expected better! we loved the activities schedule, the room was very clean and well organized. Overall, it’s the perfect hostel to meet people and have a great milano experience 🙂
Very friendly staff and atmosphere.
Rooms were clean and tidy
Perfect is the word – for everything that we experienced. The atmosphere is so lively and super friendly. You always have options for one or the other activity if one is interested.
This place was perfect. Before and after check in they held our bags so we did not have to worry about them. It is filled with young and fun people from all over. The common areas and rooms were modern and clean. I could not recommend a place more.
YellowSquare Milan has been one of my favorite places to stay, since visiting Europe.
Friendly Staff: The staff members are incredibly friendly and go above and beyond to make guests feel at home. Their genuine hospitality made my stay memorable. Thank you Luca! 🤗
Fun Events and Activities: YellowSquare Milan organizes engaging events and activities, fostering a sense of community among guests. It’s a fantastic way to meet fellow travelers and make new friends.
Secure Environment: I felt safe throughout my stay, thanks to the hostel’s effective security measures.
Responsive Management: The hostel’s management is quick to address any concerns or inquiries, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable stay.
I visited Milan with my sister,we stayed only for a night but it was memorable we had free pasta and we painted tote bags,the whole environment was such a vibe and what a great location!
I stayed here for 3 nights and felt very safe and welcomed. There was something happening every night which made it a great way to meet people. The common space/ work space was great as well! I have nothing but good things to say about this hostel!
Hostel with very good conditions. Quite pleasant and welcoming. But I think there could be more dynamism between the guests, for a hostel I think there could be activities so that there would be more interactions
I booked a shared room with four other girls. The room was very clean, the bathroom very complete with hairdryer and soaps included, the beds had individual lights and plugs, as well as a safe. There was enough space for all four people, with spacious lockers for each of them.
The common areas (bar, kitchen, terrace, study space…) were very comfortable. In the case of the kitchen, it was equipped with all the necessary utensils and enough space for many people to eat, as well as free basic food (cereals, macaroni, rice) and a dishwasher.
The best hostel I have ever stayed in.
