YellowSquare Reviews: Milan

I had a great time at Yellow Square Milano. The staff was friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean and comfortable. Also the facilities and services was 10/10 (you get earplugs when you rent a towel and a super cute bag!). They had fun activities plannend in the lobby or basement and when you were op in your room, it was very quiet.
Thank you!

Even though it’s a bit expensive, nice overall experience. Helpful and nice stuff, easy to socialize, cool events. Beds are comfy.

The rooms don’t have many shelves, no closet, etc but the bed is comfortable, the shower is good and the hotel had a lot to offer. Free pasta dinner many nights, communicate kitchen and laundry, good location near Metro. Great staff. We would stay here again. We got a private room with bath, great value compared to other hotels in town especially during peak seasons

This week was special because of the F1 i hope I’ll come back and find the same vibe same service as in Florence 🥳

The hostel was good; the bed was comfortable, and everything was really clean. The position is also good, 5 minutes walking distance from the underground and near the Duomo.

For my first experience in a hostel, I have to say that I was perfect ! Great staff and areas

I stayed in the 8-bed dorm at this hostel, and while there are definitely some strong points, the overall experience in that room was disappointing.

• Room size: The 8-bed dorm is far too small. The lack of space makes it hard to breathe comfortably, and it feels overcrowded. I’ve stayed in a hostel in Bordeaux with an 8-bed room that was much more spacious and cost less. I understand Milan has a “city premium,” but this level of tightness ruins the stay. Honestly, it would be better to remove the 8-bed dorm option altogether and stick with the 6-bed rooms, which are more livable.

• Cleanliness & smell: With so little space, smells linger. Dirty clothes and shoes left around by guests made the room feel sticky and suffocating. More rules, reminders, or checks could improve this.

• Air conditioning: The AC made noise all night, disturbing sleep. A fix here would go a long way.

That said, there are positives worth mentioning:

• Location: Fantastic spot, making it very convenient to explore Milan.

• Staff: The team is friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help.

• Atmosphere & events: The hostel creates a great social vibe. The events and common areas make it easy to meet people, which is a huge plus for solo travelers.

Bottom line:
This hostel has a lot going for it – great location, friendly staff, and a lively atmosphere. But the 8-bed dorm is simply not up to standard. Until it’s improved (or removed), I’d recommend sticking to the smaller dorms or looking at alternatives.

Well located, friendly and knowledgeable staff, top rated maintenance and cleanliness.

everything was really top! great service, the guys are super helpful and super fast in answering questions via whatsapp. everything was super clean and modern! i booked one night and stay for three bc it was perfect! the location is also great!

Traveling as two people who have never been to a hostel, and only had mediocre experiences respectively. YellowSquare Milano completely changed this for us as it was alot more than just a place to sleep. We were met instantly with smiling faces from both the staff and fellow travelers. After check-in we joined a table of strangers, and quickly got to know each other over a beer, and one of the many events the hostel hosts. After two nights in Milano, we decided to book YellowSquare in Rome for our next stay, instead of a hotel as we had originally planned.
So the sheer amount of accommodation and the experiences you get from your stay, makes it totally worth it in our opinion. 🙂

i liked the engaging into activities that were held every night. Good kitchen, clean rooms and bathrooms.

Very nice staff and the bar area were also very nice to hang out and I liked events a lot

When I checked in there was an issue with my booking which it wasn’t even my fault! They asked me to stay and talking with each other in a foreign language and every time I asked what’s going on she was so rude to me and shouting! I have also asked if I can get a dinner in the last minute and she said no! Totally it was terrible experience! I would never recommend this hostel!

The hostel was clean and well-maintained. The bunks had all the essential amenities for convenience. The staff was warm and welcoming. Good vibes all around.

Overall a very solid hostel. Lots of activities going on for those who are looking for that type of thing.

The place has good foundation of how a child hostel can be.
The place is not clean. And air condition set at a fixed low of 23 degrees

Everything was perfect. Everyone from the stuff was there to help anytime. The only thing that I didn’t like and that’s why I put 9 and not 10was the fact that the day of my check out, I went to the communal kitchen to grab from the fridge some of my food, and they had already threw it away… It could be better to wait 1 our after check out time before clean the kitchen and the fridge as well…

It was fun, clean and the stuff was really nice! Activities and drinks are perfect for stuffy night

Clean hostel, with well planned activities. Stayed in a 4 bed female dorm which was fine, had air conditioning and in suite bathroom. The window could also be opened. Although clean, the bathroom needs better ventilation and the toilet’s water tank makes a lot of noise.
– Location – the hostel is about 50 minutes walking/20 minutes by metro from the central station
– Cleanliness – the dorms are cleaned everyday
– Activities – activities organised for guests
– Kitchen – kitchen has free pasta and cereal and is generally clean

I get that it may be fun if you wanna stay for longer but for just a place to sleep it was a bit expensive…

This was my first solo international trip and was really conscious about the place where l would live…gladly l got the best place and would recommend everyone who visits Italy. It had the best bedding, bathroom and most importantly the staffs . Cannot wait to be back to the place 😩

It was in a friendly area near a metro stop. Events varied to give everyone something to enjoy. Beds were comfortable but quite squeaky. Shower leaked slightly but was well working. Staff were amazing and friendly

The staff was really nice and helpful, and the rooms were clean and nice.

I had a goos staying at the hostel, staff was helpful, food was delicious. Just one detail I would recommend. Toiletts look always clean, but they smell a lot. a deeper cleansing is needed.

The hostel had beautiful rooms, it was clean and the staff was super helpful

Beautiful rooms. But with us the fan did not work, so the humidity was not removed -> mold formation in the whole bathroom. -> absolutely renovate!

This hostel is absolutely fantastic!! The staff are so welcoming and friendly and they ensure you are having the best time at all times! The rooms are always clean and the beds are soo comfy, the lockers and safe in the beds are a great addition to make you feel protected. I unfortunately had to to cut my trip short unexpectedly, but the staff were so helpful at making sure I was safe and had everything I needed, they even helped me print any confirmations I needed. The social elements here are equally brilliant as they have art nights, karaoke and welcome drinks as well as work areas. I can not fault this hostel at all and I can’t wait to return!!! Thank you all for making my trip so special 🥰

As this my first ever hostel experience, the whole place felt very familiar and has set the bar for my expectations for my future hostel stays!

Totally great!

Just average. Food was great from cafe. Excellent social events organised but some staff were not very friendly. I didn’t feel their enthusiasm.

Yellowsquare team is the most helpfull, open-minded hotel staffe I’ve ever met. Great, wonderful people!

Great hostel in a central, yet quiet, part of Milano. The room was clean, the staff was very friendly and helpful. The only thing we missed was a few hooks to hang some stuff on. Otherwise everything was great 😀

A clean space, with a lot of activities and services, very happening and ideal for young people. Requires metro train to access from main Centrale station (intercity trains).

Had a wonderful stay in Yellow Square, the hostel is well located, the staff is very helpful, the facilities are good, clean place and a lot of activities to do while enjoying the city of Milan ! I would definitely come back !

good

I had a relaxed day in the apartment.
The guests were cool, bed clean and comfortable.

There was a sewage-like odour in the shower room. Otherwise, it’s not something that took away from the experience.
