YellowSquare Reviews
YellowSquare is more than a hostel; it’s an international community designed for travelers who want to connect, work, and hang out. Across our locations in Italy and Greece, we provide female-only dorms, shared dorms, and private ensuite rooms, alongside working spaces and daily activities. Definitely not a boring hostel. From working over a coffee to evening events in our venues, we create a active atmosphere where locals and travelers meet and make friends. Every YellowSquare is a gateway to the city, focused on social vibes and the right place to meet people.
The rooms were perfect and very clean. Ensuite bathroom was spotless. Kitchen was slightly dirty and disorganized, with not a whole lot of cutlery or plateware. Could use some work.
I recently stayed at Hostel and had a great experience. The location is excellent—close to public transportation, shops, and restaurants, making it easy to explore Milan. The staff was very friendly and helpful, always ready to give local tips or help with any needs
Staff were very friendly and helpful, the rooms were good quality and clean, nice social events ok each evening, a very pleasant experience!
I really appreciated the hostel : clean, nice, lots of things to do, lots of options…
Nice place 🙂
I was met with friendly service. My room was spotless along with the restroom. My room was organized everyday and I really hated to leave. Great stay, great deal. I already posted on my social media for my friends to stay here!
Everythibg was great: amazing people, amazing atmosphere, very clean and organised! Absolutely loved it!
The experience, attention, and service they offer are truly excellent. I felt safe the entire time. The room and bathroom were always clean. There was access to the kitchen, refrigerator, paid laundry, discounts at the bar, free dinner, and an excellent atmosphere. Without a doubt, I’ll stay there again when I return to Rome
Everything was excellent, from the bar downstairs, to the staff, free pasta and the nice dorms. Only downsides are the small showers in the rooms. But I have really only seen the room I stayed in.
We arrived after midnight and were greeted with a free upgrade, which was amazing after a long and very delayed travel day
I loved this hostel, I met a lot of great people there during my stay thanks to the bar across the street. They provide free pasta and one drink for free. There were many other solo travelers. The hostel room was clean and in the bathroom they had shampoo and shower gel to use. The ladders to the upper bunks were metal which I didn’t like but you can’t have everything.
The woman at the reception was very rude and had a bad way of saying things. Also the room that was given had no daylight and was a corner room and was very stuffy. I was very pleased with the hostel in Rome. But this is the second time I have stayed in Milan, people have changed and unfortunately my experience this time was bad.
Everything was set up well and kept clean and tidy. The social activities are great to meet other people in the hostel too.
I really enjoyed this hostel. It is super social and having a bar is a plus. The location was also quite good with only a short metro ride to the centre. The only downsides was the noise from the club underneath and not having curtains. Other than this it was amazing.
Vibes were definitely there and you could tell they have put time into thinking of the details to enhance the experience. Would def stay again if I needed to and would recommend to others.
I’d recommend 100%! Very clean and safe! I liked the people I was sharing the room with.
Overall great, safe, clean, and comfortable. Nice staff, okay location a small walk to the city or bus/ metro which is 10 minutes away
The rooms were great, the bar and common area was always packed and the staff made sure everyone was engaged and having fun which is important when you are solo traveling and want to meet new people.
I liked the hostel. I booked a shoebox dorm wich wasn’t too small at all and the hostel itself was pretty clean and I really liked the terrace.
The kitchen wasn’t equipped really good tho.
The hostel has a warm and kindly staff.They are always available for help.You can breathe a good atmosphere in here. It has a nice bar where you can have a fresh breakfast.
Great staff, great vibe and lots of fun – will be back
Thanks to Paulina and Nathalie! They’re the best!!
The price is right for the beauty of the premises, although the hostel is far from the center. The outdoor terrace and rooftop are great, although the noise from the big road below is unpleasant (but that’s how it is).
The common areas and rooms are pleasantly clean. On the other hand, the kitchen (especially the tables) is often dirty, but it’s the travelers who aren’t very respectful, it’s not the hostel’s fault.
Room had a funky smell and was way too hot! Also, staff was bare minimum friendly. Maybe I had a hard time with such a large hostel, but I didn’t love the lack of community/social environment (outside the bar).
I had a great experience at YellowSquare hostel! So nice environment! Good location! 2 minutes from a metro station that goes directly to the airport and the city center! Every night, they had a special event: karaoke, quiz, cook classes. They also have free pasta every night for dinner! I ate pesto, which was delicious!
Please be aware that they charge you a city fee. I had to pay 16€ for the 3 nights I spent there. There are also no towels in the rooms, and if you don’t label your food very carefully, they throw it away daily.
The terrace with the swimming pool is super cool!
It’s awesome
The set-up of the hostel is Amazing. The reception is also a bar in a café-ish situation. There’s a swimmingpool at the rooftop. The beds are good. The overall vibe between people, I love the diversity in staff, they are open, helpful, sweet and they really made the hostel to be honest.
I loved de hostal! Definitely staying there again and recommending it!!!
The hostel has a great atmosphere, and the facilities are generally clean. The staff is very kind and beloved, which makes the stay pleasant. However, the bathrooms in the rooms are in poor condition and need serious improvement. The walls have exposed bricks or signs of heavy moisture, and during the two days I stayed, I never saw the bathrooms cleaned or mopped after everyone used them. Another issue is the shower setup—it’s not enclosed, so water splashes everywhere, making the bathroom even dirtier
Friendly environment, great staff, top notch service
I loved staying in the 4 bed female dorm. I made really cool friends and always had someone to go exploring with. The room was always clean and the bathroom was amazing. Super clean and everything worked perfectly. I would highly recommend staying at this Hostel if visiting Milan. It is also super close to the metro for traveling purposes.
Best hostel I’ve been at! Great socializing, young crowd, always something to do!
This was the first hostel I ever stayed in as a solo traveller so I was very nervous when it came to talking to new people. But everyone was so lovely and friendly. All the staff were happy to help at all times. The bar was amazing for coffees and drinks. So incredibly clean and you get a good amount of privacy in your rooms. The girls I had in my room were some of the nicest girls I’ve met. Same to be said about all the other people I met too! Highly highly recommend. Will definitely be coming back, miss it too much x
There were a lot of amenities on site which made things easier upon arrival. The Yellow Bar is a great amenity. It is lively and fun. The free pasta is a nice touch and the games they organized are a fun way to get to know people. I stayed at another hostel that had a group chat that had key information and the staff hosted events every day. I think YellowSquare could adopt this as well and use the group chat as a means to keep people updated on events and items of interest.
This is a great social hostel located close to the Porta Romana metro station about 25 mins from the main Milano Centrale station so great location. There are quite a few social events on each day such as the hidden gems walking tour and the Karoke/Beerpong night. Very clean facilities I was in a 4 bed female dorm and really enjoyed making new friends here. About a 30 minute walk to the duomo, galleria, and other landmarks. Overall a really great experience and can get breakfast, lunch and dinner here also.
Perfect hostel for young solo travelers. Easy to meet people. Good atmosphere
It was so clean and everybody were so nice and helping!
I loved it!
