Does anyone have a recommendation for a cheap, clean, hostel?

In Nov 2005, there were 2 hostels in town, and they both sucked. Read the reviews http://www.hostelz.com/hostels/Italy/Lombardy-%28Lombardia%29/Milan http://www.hostels.com/en/availability.php/HostelNumber.16114 I stayed at one hostel 1 1/2 yr ago, because the reviews at Ostello Piero Rotta were so bad. My cell phone was stolen. I was using it as an alarm because I lost my watch, and someone reached over me as I was sleeping, and stole the phone. I woke up & rushed out of the room, but didn't see the person. I've stayed at 40-50 hostels in Europe, US, South America, and Asia, and this was my worst experience. The people staying there were dodgy. The actual facilities weren't bad. There's was a kitchen. The beds were solid. Lockers for your stuff. ....I don't think my hostel was "Il Postello" though. My hostel may have closed. It was upstairs in a building up a stairway from a parking lot, and all the "Il Postello" reviews are after Nov 2005. The "Il Postello" reviews don't look so hot... I don't know why hostels in Milan have such dodgy reviews. All the other places in Italy I've been are wonderful, and have lots of good hostels. ---- Hostelz.com and hostels.com list some inexpensive hotels you might try. My suggestion for Milan would be to spend more money.
