Madama Hostel & Bistrot

Madama was my first hostel experience and it was great! Beds were comfortable and the location was great, about a 5 minute walk to the metro which can get you anywhere in Milan quickly. Area is safe and always people around, but quiet. Madama’s bistrot is very lively, so if you prefer a more quiet hostel this is not for you. You can hear the kitchen working from the room but it’s usually quiet by midnight and starts up around 8 in noise. I did not mind this since I was out and about most of the time, but something to know. All the other hostel stayers were great and I made friends. Highly recommend!

Friendly place

I enjoyed my stay at Madama! The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. I stayed in an all girls dorm. The beds were comfortable enough. I wish rhe shower had a fan, after a shower the whole room would be humid. Also, it seems neither there was no air flow in the room unless the window was open. I would definitely say this is a hostel for younger people. If you dont mind the music downstairs, the extremely thin walls (you can hear people talking in the next room and opening the drawers under the bed), then you should be fine. I didnt use the community kitchen but it was clean when i went in. Metro is near by and an Aldi if you need anything.

A popular and trendy hostel with an adjacent bistro. The bistro is very lively and noisy, but the hostel part is behind heavy security doors and rather peaceful. Lots of cool art pieces everywhere. Decent breakfast, nice guest kitchen. Not that central, but within walking distance from Fondazione Prada and Fondazione ICA.
