Lion Hostel Milano Centrale

I was a little apprehensive after reading some of the reviews but i found my experience okay. Nothing spectacular, just okay. Tito who was at reception was engaging and i was onky charged 3.5 € for tourist tax. The room, however was painting a shade of brown that is not flattering and also the light was left on all night. There is no switch for the guests to turn it on and off

I booked a 2persons room with a bathroom. The room was very clean and beautiful. The view wasn't nice and the area also late at night. I recommend it if you would like something cheap and good. The people working there were very helpful and kind

Booked late for one night before train to Naples. They had been canceling my reservation and the guy said my card cluld not have been charged. That is not true. Hostelworld still could and I'v used said card multiple times same day. He asked me to pay 45€, which was 20 more than my reservation hours before. Not only is this hostel dirty, it also tries to scam you. Should have read the reviews before booking.

Horrible . I've just red all the others reviews and I confirm. I had a prenotation but T had to change the date so I called and wrote to the structure many times, always witout answers. I got an answer just one time from a person that then I would have known to be the owner, that told me that the guy responsable for the reception wasn't there (.........) . I had to cancel the prenotation and of couse in theory if you pay for a service that you don't use , you get a cashback . It has benn a month and I called the structure to ask for more informations, the rube and arrogant owner of couse told me that I would have got the cashback if the conditions for it would have met, to wich I asked what contidions were those, and he replied that there were none. So yeah they are a Scam, don't go there.

I had relatively low expectations coming here from some bad reviews but we had a great experience at this hostel ! Place was very clean with beds being made and bins emptied on the second day (we stayed 3 nights) and the staff were nice. Location was perfect, 2 minute walk to metro which took around 10/15 minutes to get into the city centre. Loads of shops and restaurants nearby. One negative would be the bathroom there is only one and the shower is in the same room as the toilet so if someone was showering you had to wait. You also don’t get a key to your room so I would recommend maybe paying for a locker; we just put stuff in the locker and closed it to pretend it was locked. I would definitely recommend coming here, for the price and location it’s perfect!

Me and two more friends stayed two nights at the Milano Lion Hostel. Due to some changes on our trip, we needed to book an extra night, but the communication with the hostel was so difficult, we had to give up and book that extra night at some place else.  We arrived at the hostel; the entrance is a somewhat creepy garage looking place. We got inside, and the horrible feet smell is impossible to ignore. The receptionist was nice and proceeded to make us a tour of the place. We stayed at the feminine dorm, it was not the best-looking room, but the beds looked clean enough. We then moved on to see the kitchen, that funny enough, was right next to the only single bathroom they had, for most of the hostel guests (not bathroom stalls)!The tour ended in our room again, with the receptionist saying - "The rooms have no keys because we are here 24hours".  Overall, the whole place looks disgusting; we did not feel safe knowing that literally anybody could get in our room any time; the bathroom is almost a public bathroom, since there are only two for the whole hostel. The only good thing about that place, was leaving! And the location wasn’t the worst either.
