to get started.

I was unfortunately in italy when the coronavirus outbrake happened and i found this place which was really professional in the way it ran the hostel in such a dramatic situation. They are great and the staff was super helpful.

Even if the situation due to coronavirus made most of the hotels close, this Amazing place was still open and gave me the opportunity to not sleep by the street when i was stuck here due to the planes cancelation. Bless you

The staff is super nice, breakfast is rich and with a lot o selection...bed is really comfortable and they give you free additional pillow or blanket if you need. BTW the temperature in the dorm was perfect so i didn't really need that!

The staff were really supportive and the place is cozy, its near to city centre and train station, I did not need any bus.

I just thought that was an hostel, i didn't excpet an Amazing hostel. The place is even better then the pictures and services are great. Super clean with a cozy atmosphere.

Murat

Though the room was shared, it felt private because each bed had a blackout curtain. Everything was clean and the aesthetic of the hostel was cool and modern. The kitchen was stocked with complimentary tea and the free breakfast was delicious, the best I had of any hostel. It was really easy to make friends with other travelers there because the seating is only one long table. Unfortunately, I had cash stolen while there (totally my fault, not the hostel's) and the staff was very sympathetic and waved my fee for dinner. I would definitely come back again!

Individual light in the bed is too strong (recommend lower intensity lamps). Bed curtain should cover the entire entrance to give more comfort and privacy.
Great location. Good atmosphere. Warm room against the cold outside.

“For those who choose quality over paying the minimum!”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Stayed 3 nights
Great hostel ! maybe a tiny bit more expensive than others BUT you know what you pay for. First, beds are great, independent so you don't feel the whole bunk bed move when your neighbor above/under you moves. If you have the lower bed, you also have a nice curtain for privacy. Unfortunately the partition is still thin so if your neighbor snores...bad luck, keep your ear plugs ! Then the breakfast is big and varied and good. And they organise events some evenings like diners so you can socialize with your fellow travelers. The owner works a lot so his hostel is a good place for travelers in Bologna, congratulations. For bedrooms without bathrooms, there are 3 bathrooms/toilet on the same floor. Nice chill in area by the reception. @ works fine. 15' from train station and close to city centre. Tip : plan to pay in cash...

The locker was tiny .. only for wallet and passport Not even my backpack .. so each time I had to carry it with me .. There were only 3 toilets .. which were clean .. but not separated from showers ... so occupied for a long time especially in the morning ... and the third ... unfortunately noisy The rooms are directly in the access to the kitchen and common area ... so all the time in my room I was hearing people talking ... not to mention in the upper floor .. there was probably an office ... allllllll the morning till afternoon I was hearing a woman with heals walking around and around and around .....
The staff was really polite and helpful Also the hostel was clean The bed was really nice also

So central, the best place to stay if you want to be in the middle of bologna. The staff were really friendly and the hostel is by far the nicest I have stayed in. The breakfast buffet is good as well. Would definitely recommend this hostel to travellers of any age, even families.

There are 3 bathroom shared bathroom and some private and could be a problem but in my case it wasn't. I stayed 3 nights and i never had to wait more then 2 minutes.
There are lots of activities in the hostel, like cinema night, sofa concert, social dinner and free walking tour but unfortunately i wasn't able to join all of them. I fell so comfy on the bed of the dorm and the temperature in the room was always perfect to get a great sleep.
