We liked the room, we had the private triple room, and it was very comfortable. The shared bathroom wasn't a problem. The staff was very friendly. We had to check-in late, which was okay, the staff answered all of our questions and helped us with all the information we needed. The communication was overall smooth.

The hostel is super clean, I loved that each bed comes with its own light and a plug socket. The bathrooms have soap and a hairdryer and they’re always clean. I really enjoyed working on the terrace and I met some amazing people in my dormitory. I’d definitely recommend this hostel.

location was very good, as it is not far from transport hubs, but not in the crowded center; premises and breakfast are excellent, value for money is 10 out of 10; I would recommend it to all my friends; a lot better than the airbnb we stayed before. The food stand in the garden and the proximity to a city park is like a bonus.

This is a great accommodation option, set in the lovely mountains, on the Via Degli Dei and the German Gothic Line of World War 2. It is 5 kms from the train station at Vado, and 4kms from Monzuno. There are buses to both towns. For an inexpensive hot meal (takeaway) option, I would strongly recommend Sonia next door. You will need to book ahead and the host's will give you contact numbers. I tried all 3 accommodations at the residence - tent, bungalow, and apartment -, and they were all cozy and inexpensive. The host couple are most hospitable and helpful. Great value!

Hi! I took a bus from the airport to the hotel. The bus terminates at the square, not far from the hotel. She lived in a room for men and women. No one bothered anyone, it was comfortable. I left early in the morning for different Italian cities that are nearby (Florence, Venice, Padua, Ravenna, Fabriano) and instead of breakfast they left me a bag with an apple, cookies, a bun and juice in advance. At the end of my stay, I found breakfast: boiled eggs, sliced tomatoes and cucumbers, cupcake, bread, oatmeal, yogurt. That's enough. The hotel is close to the center. There is a good Pam supermarket on the way to the center. I took the Marconi Express from the train station from the hotel to the airport. The most pleasant thing about the hotel is the staff. Very friendly girls Sonya and Katerina, who answered all my questions. Thanks!!! You can ask for a city map at the hotel.

This place is great for solo travellers, couples and families, as they can accommodate all of these. Ideally placed two minutes from the train station, so if, like me, you couldn’t afford a bunk in Bologna, it’s a cost effective way to deal with this, as it’s only 15mins to Bologna on the train. The hostel seems brand-new, is very well set-up and Matteus and Mara took good care of me. Highly recommended.

All hostels in Bologna

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Great location, really near the main square but hide from the noise of the main streets, Independence for entering and going out of the hostel at any hour, safe locker for the luggage, 3 bathrooms available, wi-fi worked well. Is a good place for a quick visit of the city (2 nights).
