Lock in a great price for Dopa Hostel – rated 9 by recent guests!

to get started.

All the rest was very good. The staff was very kind and also they make an italian dish for dinner one day at the week

Franco, Argentina

I took the single room and not the shared ones, it was a very cute, clean, and comfortable room.

Tina, Lebanon

The showers are very comfortable. There are only three bathrooms for the entire hostel, but that is enough and every bathroom is well equipped. There are lots of activities organized by the hostel itself and the staff is super nice. The breakfast is free and you have lots of tasty choices. I was drinking one of their fancy teas every time I came back to the hostel.

Esmiralda, Belgium

The bathrooms are huge and clean. The lounge area is very laid-back and groovy. Paris, who owns the hostel is a man o patience and character. The design is wild and the thematic is very discrete ;) The breakfast is generous and delicious as the atmosphere in the kitchen.

The check-out time (10:00) is a bit early, but you can leave your luggage, use the kitchen, the bathroom and the comfortable common area also after this time. The number of bathrooms compared to the number of beds seems to be a little, sometimes you have to wait but not impossible to manage.
Nice hostel with very kind stuff very close to the center of Bologna. The breakfast was better than at other Italian places (not only sweets), free coffee anytime you want, beds with curtains made some privacy. The 'social dinner' for 5 EUR is worth to try, the common area with good music is very pleasant.

Super nice stay, the space is comfy and chill, staff really welcoming and helpful! It’s a really quite hostel, not a lot of rooms. Amazing and fulfilling breakfast. 5-10 min talk to the centre, you’re practically there tbh. Totally recommend it!

Check in process was a little slow, but the other amenities made up for it.
Very clean and comfy beds. Charging ports in each bed and privacy curtains were nice. They have community dinners which seemed to be a good price, I wish we could have taken advantage of it.

There are only three bathrooms for the whole hostel, around more than 30 people. Taking in account that every bathroom includes toilette and shower, you have always to wait a lot to use it. Our room was too small for four people , there are no closet or space to keep our clothes or open the luggage. The bunks were unstable and only one of them had stairs. The breakfast was poor and scharfe. We had to paid 2€ for the towels.
The Location close to the city center.
