Tenía un fuerte olor a especias chinas. En el nivel 1 había un señor que ponía a secar sus calzones y medias en la calefacción del baño que era compartido. De todos los días que estuve, solo 1 hubo agua tibia. Había chinches. El que atendía que era un asiático hombre era muy déspota con los clientes.

We originally booked a room via Hostelworld and therefore had a certain level of trust. However we were shocked at how HORRIBLE this place was! First the bathrooms (2 bathrooms for the whole house!!) were extremely dirty and people were smoking there leaving their cigarettes swimming in the toilet. The second shock was the state of the room which was anything but decent. We've never seen so much dust in our life and the furniture was broken and dirty. We did not look underneath the blankets or mattress because we were afraid of discovering bedbugs or worse. Not to mention the open and dangerous electric cables coming out of the wall and broken light... The night was not bene at all, first we heard loud screams and noise followed by a terrifying bang and lots of fighting inside the house - we felt very unsafe. We cannot recommend this Hostel to anyone! Do yourself a favor and don't book a room at Villa Melchiorre. To quote another person on google "RUN".

Es ist eine heruntergekommene Absteige, nichts für Leute mit feinem Magen oder feiner Haut. Schon gar nichts für Familien. Dusche im Zimmer geht lauwarm nach 5 Minuten, alles im Zimmer ziemlich eklig, das Bett mit Bettwanzen. Gemeinschaftsdusche nebenan. Personal genervt. Mussten das buchen, da Mittelklasse Hotels alle ausgebucht waren.

Vibe Analysis
Villa Melchiorre 24 is mainly a low-frills crash pad near Milan Centrale and Sondrio metro. It works best as a last-minute, one-night stop when location and price matter more than comfort. Rooms can be basic and old, with a few bright spots like clean sheets, towels, shampoo, comfortable beds, single beds instead of bunks, and in rare cases a balcony or TV. Luggage storage may be available at reception, though the setup can feel loose. The rough parts are hard to ignore. Bathrooms and rooms can be dirty, worn, smelly, and poorly maintained, with recurring trouble around hot water, thin walls, street noise, cigarette smell, and weak privacy in mixed dorms. This is not a social hostel or a cozy Milan base. Expect bare-minimum shelter, uneven service, and a place that can be useful only if your train logistics are doing the steering.
Signals to check
- Hot water can be unreliable or require waiting several minutes.
- Shared bathrooms can be dirty, old, cramped, or poorly maintained.
- Staff interaction can be abrupt, unclear, or hard across languages.
- Late-night access can be difficult, especially after midnight or 1am.
- Rooms may lack lockers, proper keys, fans, or included air conditioning.
- Noise from the road, reception, hallway, and nearby rooms can affect sleep.
- Not a good fit for families, longer stays, or anyone needing a clean, calm base.
