Review
- Milan Bergamo, Italy
Hostel Bergamo
stranger, 11/13/2009
The place is the most similar thing to a hostel that you can find and on top of that, it's totally free! which is of great appreciation because Milano is a painfully expensive city.
You can save 18-20 by sleeping in this airport because it looks like a dorm, seriously! Its equipment is very basic and you'll have to sleep in hard chairs, but most of the people have their own sleeping bags and sleep comfortably on the floor.
There are people loafing around without T-shirt or without shoes as if they were in their homes (I did it!) and no one gives a hoot. But make sure you arrive early because there are LOTS AND LOTS of people sleeping there.
The guards let you sleep in peace all night, but at 5 a.m they wake everybody up 'cause the airport become operational.

Other Stuff I noticed
  • SEATING: Other seating with armrests
  • BATHROOMS: Filthy Bathrooms
  • SHOWERS: What Showers?
  • SMOKING: Smoking is not permitted anywhere in this airport
  • ANNOUNCEMENTS/NOISE: What announcements
  • TEMPERATURES: Just right
  • CLEANLINESS: Cleaning staff were ever present riding floor sweepers and wiping down furniture but they were NOT respectful of my desire to rest
