The building itself is beautiful, especially with that authentic elevator. I had a comfortable stay here, and the staff were really cool and friendly. They also provide free walking tour with tour guide called Spyro which was amazing!

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.

    Honestly, the best hostel I've ever been until now. It was well located, there was a ton of interesting people there, including the workers. There is a bar at the lobby with very abordable food and drinks.

    Wow! One of the best hostels in Italy! Great location- right next to the train station. Check in was easy and fast. The staff at reception and the bar are exceptional. The social space is amazing - a bar, games room! Really easy to meet people. You get a free drink voucher when you arrive. The rooms are great, some with a balcony with a view.
