Summary of reviewsNEW GENERATION HOSTEL Navigli Milano offers an attractive option for budget-conscious travelers looking to explore Milan without sacrificing convenience. The hostel's prime location near the vibrant Navigli district makes it an excellent base for accessing Milan's key attractions, including the iconic Duomo Cathedral, which is just a 15 to 20-minute walk away. Public transportation options, such as nearby tram stops and metro stations, further extend the convenience for guests wishing to explore the city. The neighborhood itself strikes a balance between vibrancy and tranquility, contributing to a comfortable and safe environment.
The hostel's simplicity extends to its breakfast offerings, which typically include a croissant and a coffee or tea. Although this minimalist approach satisfies some, others express a desire for more variety or an earlier serving time than the current 9 am start.
Rooms at the hostel are generally praised for their spaciousness, comfort and modern decor. Guests appreciate the large lockers and clean bathrooms, especially in private rooms. Despite these positive aspects, some inconsistencies in cleanliness and maintenance have been reported, such as occasional dirty rooms, non-functional curtains and faulty air conditioning units. Ensuring consistent cleanliness especially in shared spaces and bathrooms is an area with room for improvement.
The staff at NEW GENERATION HOSTEL Navigli Milano are often highlighted in positive reviews for their friendliness and helpfulness. Specific staff members, including Nabil, Georges, Michael and Simona, receive commendations for their service. However, there are mixed reviews with some guests encountering unhelpful or rude staff, particularly during night shifts.
WiFi availability presents a mixed bag, functioning well in certain areas but showing unreliable and inconsistent connectivity in some rooms. This inconsistency can be a source of frustration for those relying on stable internet access during their stay.
For those enthusiastic about experiencing Milan's nightlife, the hostel's location in the Navigli district could not be better. The area is alive with young people, bars and venues that stay open late into the evening. The sociable environment within the hostel itself suits young night owls and partygoers, although guests are advised to bring earplugs due to the inevitable noise, particularly on weekends.
Beds receive mostly positive feedback for their comfort, contributing to a good night's sleep with notable features like power outlets near each bed enhancing convenience. Nevertheless, occasional complaints about noisy beds, lack of privacy curtains or inconsistencies in bed quality suggest room for refinement.
The adult-only atmosphere of the hostel caters to a youthful and dynamic crowd, fostering a lively and interactive social environment. However, this spirited atmosphere may not suit those seeking a quiet and restful retreat, given frequent noise levels and mixed-gender rooms with shared, sometimes unsecured bathrooms.
In summary, NEW GENERATION HOSTEL Navigli Milano delivers a generally positive experience for young travelers eager to explore Milan affordably while enjoying the city's nightlife. Cleanliness and maintenance issues, as well as occasional WiFi and noise concerns, can detract from the overall experience but are counterbalanced by the hostel's favorable location, friendly staff and good value for money.

While some reviews mentioned the hostel’s location being slightly removed from the absolute center, the consensus portrayed it as reasonably close, ensuring access without the city center’s hustle. A unique advantage is its affordability, which often exceeds expectations given the prime positioning.
Overall, the location is praised broadly, resonating strongly with those looking to explore Milan affordably while remaining close to its most dynamic and essential areas.
Breakfast
Rooms
However, cleanliness and maintenance issues were often pointed out. Several reviews highlighted that cleanliness could be inconsistent with some rooms being dirty or having unpleasant smells. Maintenance issues like broken windows, non-functional curtains and faulty air conditioning units were also reported. Privacy seems to be an issue in shared spaces, particularly with showers, while noise and lack of proper ventilation in the rooms were common complaints.
Despite these issues, the hostel provides good value for money, especially considering its central location. The basic amenities, clean sheets and comfortable beds make it a solid choice for budget travelers, albeit with some room for improvement in terms of maintenance and cleanliness.
Beds
However, there are a few areas that could use improvement. Some guests mentioned that the beds were noisy, lacking in privacy curtains and occasionally found them to be either sagging or too small. Inconsistencies in bed quality across different rooms were also noted with some beds being described as uncomfortable and even infested with insects on rare occasions. Overall, while the hostel generally succeeds in providing comfortable and well-maintained beds, it could improve by addressing these concerns to ensure a consistently positive experience for all guests.
Cleanliness
However, a significant number of guests flagged issues with cleanliness, particularly in the bathrooms and common areas. Common complaints included dirty floors, showers that flood, clogged drains and moldy or dusty areas. Some bathrooms emitted unpleasant smells or had broken fixtures, such as toilets that often lacked paper. Shared areas, including the kitchen, were frequently mentioned as being dirty and in need of more regular cleaning. Additionally, there was mention of insufficient cleaning staff, which contributed to the less-than-ideal conditions reported by some guests.
In summary, while the hostel offers clean and spacious rooms and generally a pleasant environment, it struggles with maintaining consistent cleanliness levels in shared areas and bathrooms.
Staff
However, not all feedback is glowing. Some guests reported encounters with unfriendly or rude staff, particularly at the reception and during night shifts. There were also mentions of staff being unresponsive or unclear about charges and some described behaviors as arrogant or disrespectful. Despite these inconsistencies, the overall impression for many visitors seems positive with numerous mentions of the staff creating a pleasant atmosphere and being the best part of the hostel, contributing meaningfully to the hospitality and convenience enjoyed at this location.
Wi-Fi
However, a significant number of guests expressed dissatisfaction with the WiFi in the hostel, particularly within the rooms. Several reviews noted that the WiFi was unreliable, frequently disconnecting or completely unavailable in the rooms. Many users experienced weak WiFi signals, inconsistent connectivity and recurring interruptions, making it difficult to maintain a stable internet connection. These issues were pervasive enough to cause frustration among guests who relied on consistent internet access.
On a positive note, the hostel receives praise for its facilities, which are described as clean, tidy and efficiently maintained. The rooms and bathrooms are commended for their cleanliness and comfort.
Despite the WiFi challenges, NEW GENERATION HOSTEL Navigli Milano offers a well-maintained and comfortable experience for visitors, particularly those who prioritize cleanliness and convenience.
Nightlife
The area is renowned for its lively atmosphere, brimming with young people, bars and venues that stay open until late. Guests can enjoy a plethora of dining and drinking spots near the canal with the nightlife kicking off around 7 pm. The hostel itself is geared toward partygoers and young night owls, featuring a sociable environment where visitors often gather in the evenings to chat and have fun.
While the location is ideal for those wanting to enjoy Milan's nightlife, the area can be quite noisy, especially on weekends. The streets and hallways often echo with the sounds of revelry, from music to the clinking of glasses. This constant noise might be a drawback for light sleepers, so earplugs are recommended for a more restful night.
In summary, NEW GENERATION HOSTEL Navigli Milano is a great pick for young travelers looking to experience the energetic nightlife of Milan with clean and spacious rooms offering a good value for money. However, be prepared for the inevitable noise that comes with staying in such a dynamic part of the city.
Adult Only
However, tranquility is not a strong suit of this hostel. Noise is consistently mentioned with loud music and yelling in the corridors, often making it difficult to sleep. The mixed-gender rooms and shared bathrooms can be uncomfortable for some, particularly given there are no locks on the bathroom doors. Cleanliness seems variable with some reporting well-maintained rooms, while others encountered dirty and unclean spaces. Safety and privacy might also be a concern, highlighted by a serious incident of physical assault.
The hostel does not limit age and thus can attract older individuals, which occasionally leads to uncomfortable situations for some guests. The overall atmosphere is lively and social, more fitting for those who seek an energetic and interactive hostel experience rather than a quiet and restful stay.
