    The bathrooms were kept clean though the shower may have been slightly blocked on my last day that it hindered the flow. This only happened once in my 5-day stay.

    I loved the communal spaces where I could meet others and chat, especially at the breakfast table. Breakfast was provided and it was delicious. I also hear they have a weekly dinner together but I missed it during my stay. Nevertheless, I met people I could chat with and even have dinner out with. Dominique was very friendly and helpful.

    Not the hostel’s fault but certain people in my dorm were extremely noisy and inconsiderate while people are sleeping very late at night or early in the morning. Some people have zero self-awareness or thought for others.

    Great little bohemian in character hostel in central Bologna. Decent continental breakfast. Friendly, smiling, helpful staff. Good security. Great value.

    The only downside was that the room I stayed in was quite hot, but they explained it was due to a deep clean they had recently done in that room.

    The staff was very friendly and thoughtful. The rooms and common rooms were very cosy and welcoming.

    Amazing cosy hostel in Bologna

    • Bed in 8-Bed Mixed Dormitory Room

    The airconditioning in the dorms sometimes switched off at night, after which it sometimes got really hot in the room, and the air got really bad with 8 people in the room, making it difficult to sleep. Also, the hostel “only” had 3 bathrooms, with one sink out of order, so sometimes during busy times you have to wait a little.

    This hostel is one of the best hostels I have ever stayed at! It’s not too big, so it feels really homey. Best of all, the hostel included a small breakfast, where you could simultaneously meet fellow travellers over a cup of coffee. Everything was clean, and the wifi was good! Most of all, the hostel has a really big community, and organises activities like a shared dinner. This hostel is amazing if you are travelling alone to Bologna and want to meet new people, with whom you can explore the city together! The beds in the dorms are also great, they are really big and you even have some space to put your stuff, in addition to a locker.

    The accommodation had only three bathrooms, which meant we often had to wait in line to take a shower. This was especially inconvenient, as it forced us to shower early in the morning to avoid the rush.

    I had a wonderful stay at this accommodation. The location was excellent, making it easy to explore the surrounding area. The staff members were incredibly friendly and always ready to help with any inquiries

    Nothing, everything was great, wish I was there longer.

    Genuinely the most lovely hostel I’ve stayed in. It felt like being invited into a home. The space was so inviting and the decor was so vibes. The building was a little older so everything was with keys but it added to the charm. Everything was quite clean and the mattresses had privacy curtains and were comfy. The staff were all so nice and had good recommendations for what to do. Will definitely stay here again if I’m ever in bologna.

    It was a little pricey for such a large dorm but that's the nature of Bologna.

    Fond memories of this hostel meeting a nice group of travellers and having the hostel 'family dinner'. It's a great location near the university area.
