YouHosty – Paoli 3

YouHosty – Paoli 3 Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to YouHosty – Paoli 3, you’ll notice it doesn’t scream “hotel” from the outside — which is actually part of its charm. This three-star property sits quietly on Via Alessandro Paoli, and honestly, that’s exactly what you want when you’re trying to experience Milan like a local rather than a tourist. The entrance has this understated vibe that immediately tells you this isn’t going to be stuffy or overly formal.

The Neighborhood Advantage

Here’s what I love about this location — you’re in Stazione Garibaldi, which means you’re actually positioned perfectly between Milan’s business district and the more authentic neighborhoods. The Porta Nuova area has transformed dramatically over the past decade, and staying here puts you right in the middle of that evolution. You can walk to some incredible local spots that most tourists never discover, and the metro connections are honestly better than you’d expect.

What Your Room Delivers

The room setup here is refreshingly practical. You’re not getting marble bathrooms or designer furniture, but everything works exactly as it should. The beds are comfortable enough that you’ll actually sleep well, and there’s decent space to spread out your stuff without feeling cramped. What struck me most was how clean everything felt — not just surface clean, but genuinely well-maintained in a way that shows they care about the details.

Getting Around and Eating Well

The Garibaldi station proximity means you can reach pretty much anywhere in Milan without the usual hassle. But here’s something locals know — some of the city’s best casual dining is within walking distance of this hotel. There’s this fantastic little restaurant about three blocks away that does incredible risotto, and the morning coffee bar right around the corner serves espresso that’ll ruin Starbucks for you forever.

Why Guests Keep Coming Back

You know what makes YouHosty – Paoli 3 work? It’s honest about what it is. This isn’t trying to be something fancy — it’s a solid, reliable base for exploring Milan that won’t drain your budget. The staff actually seems to enjoy helping guests figure out the neighborhood, and the 7.6 rating reflects exactly what you get: dependable comfort without any pretense. For travelers who want to spend their money on experiences rather than hotel amenities, this place makes perfect sense.

Milan’s apartments welcome long stays with terrace views, museum access, and bike paths to hidden Leonardo da Vinci sites.

• Excellent – Kylie from Australia – 7 August 2024 (8/10)

  Clean- central. Perfect for our family group.

• Great apartment with good communication – Kenneth from United Kingdom – 3 May 2024 (9/10)

  Great location. Good restaurants nearby and 20 minute walk to Centrale Rail Station
  
  What could be improved: No lounge area

• Not what we expected, but would suit most – Teresa from Australia – 14 October 2023 (7/10)

  Great priced apartment with good location. Big bedrooms.
  
  What could be improved: The host arrived 1hr late to check us in, which after a hot day travelling was not great, standing on the pavement. He could not get out of there fast enough. Couldn't take cash for city tax, nor do they take card, we had to pay via a link that was sent via email. Even though we filled in the online precheck -in details, including uploading photographs of our passports, we again had to give the passports to the host for him to photograph as the online system doesn't work apparently.
  The apartment was not very clean and there's nothing to put your soap or shampoo on in the shower. I thought about balancing the soap on top of the screen and saw soap from a previous tenant was already there, LOL. The shower is tiny so to bend down to pick up the shampoo I had to actually open the shower screen door to stick my head out :'). There was no dishwashing detergent.
  We specifically booked this apartment because it was listed as having 2 single beds in each bedroom and a sofa bed in the living area. It did not. It is 3 single beds in one bedroom and a double in the 2nd bedroom. There is no living room, just a kitchen table in the kitchen. This meant our snorer could not be isolated as we couldn't even move a bed into the listed "living area", which is a hallwaywith a cupboard in it. The balcony is standing room for one person next to the air con unit. Perfect for smokers though, with a nice view over the garden.

• Good – Robert from Canada – 11 October 2023 (7/10)

  Quite neighborhood
  
  What could be improved: Drain in the shower is clogged

• Great value – Yao from United Kingdom – 9 August 2023 (8/10)

  It’s great location and right by the metro station of M2 line. Feel very safe as well. It’s fairly modern design in the house.
  
  What could be improved: The bathroom is big but shower room is weirdly small. It would also be better if there’s a place to hang towers and put soap in shower room.

• Nice apartment at a good location – Peter from Hungary – 21 July 2023 (9/10)

  Very good location. Next to the metro station, close to groceries and restaurants. The apartment is fully air conditioned.
  Very kind and helpful staff.

• Superb – Layla from United States – 26 June 2023 (9/10)

  The property was really spacious and clean, easily fitting 4 girls. We had good AC and felt safe with the security that came with the apartment. The staff was also wonderful and did good with staying on top of things that you may need to contact them for. We were also right next to a metro station, which was convenient.
  
  What could be improved: The location wasn’t the most exciting, however for the price, it was really good.

• Good – Ramunas from Lithuania – 8 January 2023 (7/10)

  Location OK, apartment comfortable for family – two bedrooms.
  
  What could be improved: Apartment with kitchen but there are any salt, pepper, tea or coffe. Be prepared, if You are going to make something Youself for breakfast.
