About

Yellowsquare Milan

Yellowsquare Milan sits about 500 metres from Monumento ai Caduti di Porta Romana, putting you a short walk from the Porta Romana area and its transport links. The hostel is built around a terrace and a bar that hosts live entertainment, karaoke and social events — a clear draw if you're travelling alone or want to meet people. A shared kitchen, game room and billiards add to the communal feel, while the 24-hour reception and security measures keep things practical.

The bedroom options run from single and double rooms to shared dorms, including a female-only four-bed dorm. Private rooms come with either a bathtub or shower; dorms have shared bathrooms. On-site you'll find a restaurant, snack bar, coffee shop and a leisure/TV room. Daily and nightly activities — cooking classes, parties with live music — appear regularly in guest reviews, and the welcome drink is a nice touch.

“Metro and tram are right there, rooms were clean with decent showers, and the staff pointed us in the right direction and sorted a taxi. Plenty of social events to get involved in — definitely recommend.”

8.7Verified guest

“This was the perfect spot for us — a short hop from the metro and tram, and the bar had a great buzz with tasty, cheap food. The cooking classes and live music parties were a brilliant way to meet people. Ideal for solo travellers.”

8.7Verified guest

“Ensuite shower in the room worked well, hot and cold. There's a locker and you can rent a towel with a cloth bag. Metro is close, and it's about 20 minutes by taxi from Linate. Good range of activities.”

8.7Verified guest

“Three nights here and it was great. The room was spot on, with an ensuite and reliable water pressure. Metro's a short walk, and Linate is a 20-minute taxi. The wifi held up well, and they gave us two free drinks at the bar. Proper recommend.”

8.7Verified guest

“Right by the station and metro, so the centre and the Duomo are either a half-hour walk or a quick ride. Rooms were clean and comfy, bathrooms were well stocked, and the staff were brilliant. Breakfast had plenty of solid options, and the common area is big with daily activities.”

8.7Verified guest

“Picked this for a quick work trip and it was spot on. Co-working space, kitchen, bar — everything I needed. They handed me a free drink on arrival, the four-bed room was quiet and had a locker, food was fresh, and the staff were all friendly. Porta Romana metro is a few stops from the Duomo. I'd send friends here and come back myself.”
