Hotel · Milan · Lombardy
A budget-friendly stay near Parco Sempione, with easy tram access to Milan's center.
About
New Generation Hostel Chic Sempione sits in a residential pocket of Milan, next to the Fonderia Artistica Battaglia. With 38 rooms, it keeps things compact, and the amenities stay simple: free Wi-Fi in public areas, a lift, and a bar/lounge. The vibe is practical rather than polished, aimed at travelers who want a clean bed and a good base without the frills.
The location works well for exploring the city. A tram stop is within a 5-minute walk, and the metro is close by for quick hops to landmarks like the Milan Cathedral and San Siro Stadium. The hostel is also near Cimitero Monumentale, and Parco Sempione is a short distance away. It's not in the tourist thick of things, but the public transport links make the center easy to reach.

6.8Verified guest“Great value for the money. Rooms are spacious with new furniture. Staff are genuinely helpful and friendly. Breakfast is reasonable for the price, and the pastries are a treat. We stayed twice with a 10-day gap and noticed the lobby had been upgraded in between—it looked much more inviting.”
