About
Koala Hostel
Koala Hostel sits in Milan's Citta Studi district, about 650 metres from Piazza Aspromonte bus stop. The Loreto metro station is a short walk away, giving easy access to the central station and the Duomo (about 4 stops). The hostel offers a mix of private rooms and dorms, all with shared or private bathrooms, plus a shared kitchen, a bar/lounge, and a TV room.
The vibe is relaxed and social. Guests consistently mention the friendly, helpful staff — one reviewer names manager Fulvio for going above and beyond. The bar serves cheap drinks and sometimes hosts karaoke, and the common areas are designed for meeting people. Breakfast is included (though described as simple), and the staff have been known to pack a snack for early check-outs.
