    The room was a tad stuffy but that’s likely down to the room’s decision to close the windows to avoid traffic noise

    The hostel was so homely and they made a big effort to facilitate interactions between everyone which was really nice for a solo traveller. The hostel was clean and the rooms were comfortable.

    The pillow was too big and the lockers a bit small. That's all I can think of!

    Great location, easy to find, close to everything but quiet too. Staff were lovely and made everyone feel at home. Communal dinners and dining configuration in the kitchen ensured people mixed. Comfortable communal areas with a chilled out vibe.. this is not a party hostel but is lively and friendly. Outstandingly clean in all areas. Comfortable, private beds with curtain, individual lights and power point. Lockers with keys and internal power point. Ample space in each room to keep your stuff. I've stayed in many hostels. This has to be the best one yet! I didn't want to leave.

    One slight downside was that there were no separate toilet rooms. There are 3 bathrooms that unite shower, toilet and a sink. So you have to wait for whoever takes shower to use the toilet after. But at the same time I got only a couple times when I had to actually wait, and the hostel was at full capacity.

    It was very cosy and comfortable to stay there. Calming homey atmosphere added made my trip feel even more special. The facilities were very clean even in the most busy hours. Extra thanks to the stuff! They were very eager to help with anything that was needed, and my very special thank you goes to Chiara who went above and beyond to send me my forgotten keys 😄

    The hostel is very much a boutique hostel. The room (6 bed dorm) was very spacious and allowed for privacy. Communication was great, they were preparing for a busy summer season, so we had some special instructions that were well thought out and explained to us. Good to see the property is being looked after. Bologna is not a cheap city, accommodation or food wise, but I consider the hostel good value for money. They also prepared a nice dinner get together for the guests that everyone seemed to enjoy.

    Besides everything being above expectations, I would have wished to have a bigger locker. The one in my room was around 25x25 cm

    It’s a cozy and homey environment, which I love. You can meet people easily in the common area or kitchen. The bathrooms and bedrooms are very clean and everything seems up to date

    Home atmosphere, friendly girls running the place, good breakfast, got to sit and do my computer work, close to all restaurants, bars and tall towers or whatever you want to see, you can get lost in town but keep making a left you will end up back hon=me, 15 min walk to central station, 13 euro on train to airport, yes you have to sleep with others in the room but you have a curtain which gives some privacy

    A bit noisy and light leaks from different places but my ear plugs helped a lot. In case you don’t have your own you can buy them at the reception desk!

    Very well located and very flexible with the late check in!

    - Was a bit too student era hipster for my taste. - If you are storing your luggage after checkout, the bads are left in an open area in the lobby. It's not super secure

    - Private spaces for beds and private lockers. - Spacious and clean bathrooms. - A reasonably functional kitchen with ingredients if you want to cook - Cozy and convivial breakfast atmosphere where everyone can meet and share a meal. They also organise private dinner party on Mondays. - It's a good place if you prefer a smaller hostel where people mingle and get to know each other. - Great music choice in the lobby.

    Not really a big problem but sometimes the bathrooms are always full so you just have to wait for your turn or be strategic at what time you’ll have to take a bath. They have small lockers but they make a lot of noise so sometimes it would wake people up.

    The beds in the dorm room are big and you get to have a curtain for some privacy as well. It’s close to Bologna Centrale too although a bit of a walk, maybe about 15minutes. The day I was at the hostel, they hosted a social dinner for everyone for only 7 euros and it was really fun. The free breakfast was also a treat too, they have all sorts of breads, cold cut, cheese, cereals, and even homemade cake. A lot of the decorations in the hostel too are obviously done w/ so much love and care.

    The pillow was too bulky for me but I survived, very comfy bed otherwise

    Didn't feel like a hostel or hotel, felt like a home truly! Exactly a place you need when you are traveling and don't have a home. Nice communal breakfast with toast, fruit, eggs, youghurt etc. Very inviting atmosphere!

    Events and more communication between guests would be better to create more positive atmosphere.

    We stayed in Triple room. Bed was very comfortable, room, toilets, linens etc. was super clean. Facility generally was comfortable and clean. We did not feel the hostel vibe as events and communications between guests but it was very good and convenient place to stay. Staff was very helpful with positive energy. I definitely suggest to stay in this place if you are looking for comfortable stay at central location for your Bologna visit.
