Ostello Bello Grande

Mother-daughter stay for four nights during (American) Thanksgiving week. The room was basic but clean with two twin beds that were firm and comfortable. The shower was hot and had good pressure. There was also a juliet balcony for fresh air. This hostel is definitely better suited for young people (20s and 30s), as there is something going on every night, with a relatively large crowed downstairs. We were on the fifth floor so there was no noise up that high, but just something to consider. Location is perfect, very close to the Centrale train station for subway and train access. Staff are friendly.

Great hostel! Super close to the train station, clean and spacious rooms and nice activities/offers like a 24/7 bar, pasta night or karaoke. Very friendly staff; a special shoutout to Kevin behind the bar! He gave us a free coffee and served us great at breakfast even though it was one of his first days and we had some special wishes. We‘ll definitely be back next time we‘re in Milano.

My mum was pickpocketed out of her cash, passport and suitcase keys at the airport so we couldn't head to our next destination out of Schengen and had to book a night here to make arrangements to do follow-up action and head home. With such a traumatic experience and having to continue life, we were treated very kindly by the staff here. I was served complimentary tea, two locks to help my mum relock her two luggage, and a heartwarming spread of food unlimited (it was Christmas Eve). Having not eaten for the whole day, it was a much-appreciated consolation for us even if our appetites weren't great. I was counselled by staff there as well because I was inconsolable (still am now but trying to walk out of the rut). Thank you for showing so much warmth when we most needed it, and may operations and ongoings be smooth here for a long long time.

I just stayed for one night but it was all I needed. The location is great, just 100 m from Milano Centrale. The breakfast had many options and they gave me a free welcome drink when I arrived which was a nice detail. The only negative I would say, is that at least in my room which was 5 bed female dorm, the beds didn’t have privacy curtains and I was on the top bunk so if the lights were on it wasn’t great. The kitchen facilities were very complete, with free vegetables, spices and tea available. Overall I loved it and would come back!

The location of the hostel is extremely convenient, being so close to the central train and metro stations. It made traveling around Milan very easy. The private room I stayed in was exceptionally spacious, providing great comfort throughout my visit. I was also very pleased with the daily housekeeping service, all the staff members were incredibly friendly and helpful, making me feel very welcome and cared for. Thank you again for providing such a comfortable and welcoming stay.

Perfect location just steps from Milano Centrale Station make us easy to go around everywhere in Milan, and close to main eateries. Rooms and service quite standard but for me the most important it is clean. If it is just a place to sleep it is a nice place. Anyway it is an ostello not a starred hotels. To good value for money I would say.

I wouldn’t recommend this hostel for solo travelers. It’s a bit more expensive, likely due to the central location, but there are more welcoming and better-maintained options nearby, like Yellowsquare. The main concern for me was cleanliness. The bathroom didn’t feel very clean, and there was noticeable humidity and odor, which made the stay uncomfortable. The bed also wasn’t the most comfortable. The bar area seemed popular with locals, but it wasn’t really the best place to meet other travelers. At night, there was noise and cigarette smell coming into the room from outside, since locals hang out right by the rooms on the street. The funny part is there are signs on the wall that say “please be quiet” which definitely didn’t match the reality. If you’re looking for a friendly, social environment and cleaner facilities, I’d recommend saving a bit and choosing a more traveler-focused hostel where guests and locals can genuinely mingle and feel comfortable.

Great value and very comfortable stay. Clean, modern, and well-organized with a high-tech feel. Felt safe as a solo traveler, friendly staff, and an excellent location close to transport and attractions. Would definitely stay again.

I can't rave about Ostello Bello enough!! This was my first time staying in a hostel, and it was such a great experience. The staff was very nice. 24/7 bar was great. The entire hostel was very clean. I will 10000% be staying here next time I am in Milano

I won't get into what happened, but I just have to say that Ava is an angel. This is a friendly, clean hostel with a lovely staff and good rooms. Be mindful of your surroundings if you are a female solo traveler in this particular part of Milan but the hostel itself is good

Really great option for staying overnight and as a cheaper affordable hostel. Very convenient near the train station. Environment was very lively when my roommates and I arrived and gave us a free welcome drink as we came in. Very good security and the rooms are very clean! The elevators and staircases need your room key to access it. Also the foosball is very fun in the "Chill Room".

(I'm a 24 year-old guy from the US) Stayed here for 2 nights with my brother in a 6-person mixed dorm. The rooms are basic, with two 3-level bunk beds, and a small bathroom. The beds and linens I had were clean and didn't show any stains. We had a full room (even in November!) but everyone was nice and respectful. The showers were small but the water pressure was great. Overall, it was a clean and basic room setup. The Hostel is located extremely close to Milano Centrale and its Metro station which makes getting around very easy. They have fun activities every night (Karaoke was a party!) plus breakfast and dinner and a full bar. The food isn't amazing, but it's food and it's free, so what more does a penniless traveler need? We made great friends from other countries here, which was honestly the best part. People come to the main room and terraces to drink and socialize, so it is very easy to make new friends. If I'm ever back in Milan I will absolutely be staying here again. Can't say enough good things about Ostello Bello Grande!

This place is dope! I've spent years in the hospitality business and this was the BEST check in experience I have ever seen! We were greeted with a free drink of choice, given a tour of the place and told about the place from the Amazing staff! Very clean and an over all great experience!

Atmosphere: amazing. everyone is friendly and having a gr eat time. Easy to make friends. Staff: Very very nice people that give you answer all your questions and try to help you out as much as possible. Accessibility: 2 minute walk from central station and there's a bus that comes straight from Malpanesa airport. Food: Free dinner and breakfast. Lenient time slot (7~12/19~21). Breakfast doesn't taste too good though. (eggs are like plastic) Wifi: disconnects from time to time, but good overall Etc.: Laundry is expensive as shit (7 euros). There's a rooftop and basement to chill at. Lots of board games and game consoles. Foosball and small pool table. Piano and guitars on first floor. Rooms are nice to sleep in. Lock, pocket wifi, ipad, modem, laptop are all available to borrow. Bar is a bit expensive but the beer is good. Free water and coffee anytime.

Congratulations. Your search for a hostel in Milan is over! Just go ahead a reserve a bed/room right now because you're not gonna find a better deal than Ostello Bello. ;) Trust me, OB is the place to be but if you still need convincing, here's my testimony: My train from Venice was 2 hours delayed therefore causing me to miss my connection and stranding me in Milan for the night so I had to find a bed last minute. Ostello Bello to the rescue! It's mere steps from the Milano Centrale train station (and Metro and busses) and I was immediately welcomed with a cappuccino and nonstop smiles from the staff. This hostel is clean, comfortable and all-inclusive: free towels, linens, breakfast, dinner, snacks, great wifi, maps, advice... I only wish there was a little more space between bunk beds because it was too low for me to sit upright and I checked out today with a little knot on my head. Either that or start including free helmets at check-in. :P It's an eclectic mix of guests so just hope that you don't get put in a room with a couple of drunk douchebags who stumble in at 4AM and turn on all the lights. (Not blaming OB for this because it happens everywhere but it's still annoying.) You might enjoy the hostel more than the city itself. At least I did.

very kinda, great free pasta, sweet staff...

Great location; less than 10 minutes from Milano Central and taxi stand. Offers a buffet dinner between 7 and 9 pm. After initial check in, daily housekeeping was great.Histiric elevator but not more than 2 people with luggage at a time and copious stairs.

This place is nice and close to the train station. It is easy to get around everywhere. The service is great! The hotel offers free breakfast as well .

The new and bigger hostel from the same owners. They were opened 3 weeks ago when I visited them but still everything looked perfect to me. They like to chat with you like real Italians :) It might be a little pricy for a hostel but the place has a soul and you don't feel like you're in a hostel at all. Go there, stay there while you're in Milan and you will wish they would have Ostello Bello's all over the Europe.

Such a nice hostel! They give you a welcome drink when you check in, and the bar area is filled with people talking and GOOD music playing! Their breakfast was free and very good as well. Only stayed one night in Milan but wish I stayed more so I could stay here longer!

I was at the hostel for one night, truly the best hostel I ever stayed in. So organized, food is served, bar is open 24 hours. Amazing stuff and much much more! Highly recommend!
