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.

Raluca, Romania

Small and cozy hostel. Great vibes, nice place to relax after a walk. Staff was very kind!

Honestly, there was nothing to dislike about the place. Quality was outstanding for a hostel.
The shower rooms were extraordinary, the lounge area at the reception was cozy, there were always sufficient sockets and the wifi was fast. The location is great as well, it's a few minutes away from the train station and main bus station but the centre around Piazza Maggiore is easily reachable within 10mins. I was really impressed. Every bed comes with a locker. Within that locker is also a socket to charge your phone while it's locked away. They make some effort to make you feel safe - which is appreciated. The breakfast is pretty good too. Juice, coffee, tea, milk for drinks and yoghurt, müsli, bread with a variation of toppings to go with it. Very good quality hostel, I have to say. Definitely a recommendation.

Check out is too early. I would suggest a 11 o'clock check out rather then 10 a.m.
The vibe. You feel like you are in home. And there is a clear effort from the staff and the hostel to make you feel welcome.

There arent enough toilets for the amounts of guests (just 3 toilets/showers).
It’s a clean, newly refurbished and welcoming hostel, located 5-10mn walk from the old town. The breakfast was tasty, continental and filling. I found the staff very helpful and friendly.

“My favourite hostel!”

This was my 4th time to stay at Dopa Hostel and it was fantastic as always! This hostel and the hosts always make me feel like I am at home, and the hosts always remember me, even though my last stay was over a year ago! It is very comfy, feels safe and great for meeting new people. I love the organised group dinners and games evenings which allow you to get to know other travelers and the hosts. I stayed here for a week while I attended an Italian school near Piazza Maggiore, and the hosts were supportive and patient with me as I practiced the language and asked many questions. This is my favorite hostel in Italy and I will definitely return!
