Babila Hostel & Bistrot

The hostel was quiet, clean, with a living room and open kitchen (available for use). The lockers were good, the staff were helpful, and the Arab female employee was wonderful (I forgot her name). The location was safe and close to the Duomo. One downside was housekeeping entering without notice; I found two men in my room. If this bothers you, inform reception upon arrival. When I asked for prior notice, they were understanding. Overall, it was a good, quiet place to stay, though the price wasn’t cheap for the number of days.

I stayed in a six-person mixed dormitory room. I rarely stay in hostels, but since my visit was around New Year's, this was one of the few accommodations available at an acceptable price. Thankfully, it turned out to be one of the best hostels I've stayed in. The bed was spacious and comfortable, and the room had a large locker for storage. The location was excellent—just a five-minute walk from San Babila metro station.

I stayed 2 nights in late december. Room and bathrooms were clean and the bed was comfortable. I had a problem with my lock to my room, lock wasn't working and I gave it to reception to get it fixed or to get a new one. It wasn't still working when I came back to the hostel after like 10 hours. Terrace&kitchen was quite nice.

This hostel is great: the location, the service, the cleanliness, the rooms... It has a great kitchen, which I didn't find any information about on the website, and is quite important for some people. I've travelled a lot and I've stayed in many hostels, and this has been one of the best I've seen.

Very clean, cozy hostel, they provide locker in each room so my stuff was safe and I really enjoy the time in Milan. Thanks Babila staff for their welcoming and positive vibe. 100% recommend!

The hostel is really clean and staff here are super super friendly, which I like most about it. It would even be better if the heating system was stronger as I could hardly fall asleep as it was quite cold in the room. Above all, I love my stay here.

Incredible hostel in the very center of town! My expectations were completely met. The famous Duomo is only 10-15 minutes walk (if you like to walk slowly) from the underground and the popular carrefour express. Words can not tell how good and responsive staff I found: always friendly and ready to help, just for that I would put a high rating. Cleanliness and cleanliness are felt throughout the hostel: regular change of bed linen, clean floor, cleaned trash - super! You also get a key - card and key of the locksmith (this surprised me personally, in other European countries you must have your own lock) Breakfast for 5 euros is good for a full breakfast. There are no cons for me! P.S: Filipino receptionists are the best :)

Babila Hostel's prime location – just a 15-minute walk from the Duomo – is definitely its biggest draw. The staff are also friendly and welcoming. However, the rooms aren't soundproof, so expect some street noise. My Monday night stay was pretty dull, but I've heard it's more lively during events. The hostel looks much better in the pictures than it actually is! But if you value location above all else, Babila could be a good fit.
