"Very nice clean room and grounds. The breakfast and coffee very good. Good location near train. Only comment is the hotel should enforce a noise curfew as students can be load until the early morning hours."

"It was a very dirty and frankly disgusting place and the lighting at night made it even more eerie than it already was. It reminded me of an abandoned mental institute. i guess you get what you payed for. I have stayed in many hostels, some for less expensive than this, however, and this was by far the worst i’ve ever stayed in."

The staff were absolutely fantastic. Super helpful. Excellent, quiet location with great links to transport. Railway station for the airport is 5 mins walk and metro 2 mins walk across the square.
Excellent and well equipped room. Cool in a heatwave!

We had a superb socialized-hostel experience here at OBG. Snack was provided in common area 24 hours. Easy dinner was also provided at 7 pm everyday. Moreover, you can try cooking at the shared kitchen on the 6th floor. They have provided all you wanted for cooking from electronic stoves, microwave machines, cooking pans, washing sinks, and some cooking raw materials.
At OBG, they encourage you to feel like stay at your home. Of course, hotel staffs do not served you like the 5-star hotel but...

Young children. We booked this on an extremely cheap deal with flights for a 5 day stay and throughout the hotel was terrific value overall. The maids changed the towels/beds daily, nice clean rooms generally, staff were very friendly, breakfast buffet was amazing (highly recommended) and the facilities were great - pool and play area were well maintained and there’s an Xbox Kinect in the lobby along with an interactive computer for the kids when you’re...

We were only in Milan 2 nights, and needed somewhere near to the station. This hotel offered great value and is a 15 min walk away, although even quicker on the tram or Metro. The room was clean and comfortable, and is an excellent choice for someone on a budget.

Great place very well designed and new. Excellent place for few days exploring Milan very central and bus from Linate Airport stops at the end of the road. We had a lovely spacious double room with great bathroom. Kitchen facilities also available just across the corridor. Nice little bar and bistro to on site if you don't fancy venturing out. Highly recommended.

great trip altogether. Kitchen area was good for us to cook, room had a washbasin which helped. Good and helpful staff and 24hr checkin is a plus and ease of mind to go out and come back whenever

Amazing value for money. At a price way below average for Milan you get a clean spacious room with everything you need for a short stay. Although check-in is until 11pm we were able to check-in at a later time thanks to the night guard. The staff was very polite and helpful. It's further away from city centre but it's a great option for anyone looking to save money without compromising on quality.
