Guest Reviews
- Rodrigues (10/5): - Tudo Não tenho nada pra reclamar
- Lee (7/5): Pleasant stay, strange entrance with limited check in and common area. - Clean and good location Limited common room , no where to sit in room or comfortably in common room. Noisy, thin walls but clean and central location
- Konstantinos (10/5): -
- ZAKARIA (8/5): - Tutto Niente
- Zoé (8/5): - Very good location! Lovely staff and clean quarters just didn’t have access to to the kitchen and little to no common area :/ but I was always out so I didn’t mind, but good to know!

- Julien (8/5): - L'emplacement Murs trop fins donc on entend les autres chambres
- Sicilia (3/5): -
- Francisco (8/5): -
- Laura (6/5): - Bon emplacement Pas très propre, pas assez de papier toilette, on m'a donné un casier avec un cadenas cassé (ils étaient au courant donc il serait bien de penser à le changer), il n'y avait pas de rideau dans ma chambre et la serrure de la porte ne fonctionnait plus
De manière générale ce serait bien de rénover un peu le tout et de mieux prendre soin de votre auberge
- Elizabeth (10/5): Soddisfatta - Mi è piaciuta l'accoglienza, il modo sicuro di tenere le cose, la pulizia. Non ho nulla di cui lamentarmi. Tutto eccellente
- Dakori (9/5): - Molto bene Molto bene
- Ammirata (9/5): - Rispetto ordine e sicurezza L impossibilità di entrare in strutture per check-in non oltre le 19

- Baraah (3/5): - I don't think i will book such a place again..the only good thing is the lady at the reception when u check in! There was no hot water to shower in two bathrooms (only in one, and it's even too hot or cold, no way to balance it, and we were more than 10 people. In the morning, the water stopped totally, and we couldn't use the bathroom, even though we texted the WhatsApp number!)
The plug to charge your phone is not working inside the rooms, so you have to stay out in the common area to charge your phone. And lots of people stay there for longer, so more noise and no way to sleep because all the lights are on and the rooms open to this common area.
The bed is not comfortable at all

- Viktor (6/5): Kicsit sokan vannak, de nagyon jó helyen van és kedvesek. - Kicsit tömötten voltak a vendégek, de a személyzet nagyon segítőkész és kedves volt és a környék szép. A szállás jó helyen van.
- Rosangel (4/5): Don’t stay there - The only positive about the booking was the Location was about 5 min walking from piazza Maggiore. And Like 2 from the Main street in Bologna. The List is insane. I will start saying that there is a big window with not cover and you get the light of the sun direkt in your eyes, there was not hot water to take a shower, there was 2 people working at the reception, the male worker was more friendly and more willing to help, but the girl was at times rude. Also, if you are not before 7 pm in Bologna, they send you a message telling you that your reservation will be automatically CANCELLED. I highly recommend spending your money on a better place.
- Mattia42 (8/5): Buona soluzione per Bologna - Posizione centralissima, a due passi dalla piazza principale. Abbastanza rumorosa (d'altronde è in centro...), cucina non utilizzabile.
- Alexandre (7/5): - A localização é ótima, estava limpo, armário espaçoso, cama ok nada de mais. Vale se for somenta tomar um banho e dormir. Horário restrito da recepção, tipo duas horas de tarde e duas horas no início da noite. A estrutura dos banheiros bem antigas, assentos dos vasos sanitários velhos(quebrado) e até menor que o tamanho do próprio vaso. Não há cozinha ou geladeira para caso queira fazer alguma refeição no local.
- Robert (8/5): Saubere Unterkunft in zentraler Lage! - Sehr nahe am Zentrum
Sauber Tutto bene !
- Mateos (1/5): - Awfull place, doesnt have anything on the kitchen. Better yet, it has everything, fridge, stove, cutlery, plates. But its all locked behind a seethrough glass and you cannot use it. Who is it for? Not even kettle or hot water dispenser. Awfull, unpersonal, would not recommend
- Merve (5/5): -
- giovanni (6/5): ostello in centro città - staff (molto cortesi ed efficienti), pulizia buona e la posizione bagni, assolutamente da rivedere ed assolutamente ad di sotto della media degli ostelli di cui sono stato ospite in tanti anni di viaggio.
vicino ad ogni letto metterei una mensola con una presa elettrica ed una bajour per evitare che la sera tardi la luce pricipale sia sempre accesa. Nell'area comune, va bene non far utilizzare la cucina, ma almeno mettere a disposizione dei clienti un bollitore di acqua elettrico ed un microonda.
Il messaggio che vorrei indirizzare alla struttura è questo, non perchè si è ospiti di un ostello l'ospite si deve accontentare, anche perchè il costo per singola notte non è trascurabile.
Mi auguro che la prossima volta troverò alcune delle migliorie segnalate.
- Simon (2/5): Unangenehmer Ort - Das Personal war freundlich, aber hatte eine 2 Stunden Schicht Sucht euch einen freundlicheren Ort! Die Bäder, die Zimmer und in einem Fall auch die 5 Über 45 Jahre alten Männer sorgen für Beklemmung. Es war total unangenehm und das Gegenteil von einer schönen Erfahrung.
Keine Küche, schlechte Betten, Lauf davon!
- Sergio (6/5): -
- Oriana (7/5): - La posizione è davvero centralissima, a pochi passi da Piazza Maggiore. Le camere sono spaziose ma non hanno armadietti o ci sono tavolini per poggiare le proprie cose. Il rapporto qualità/prezzo non è soddisfacente. Il prezzo del soggiorno è decisamente alto considerato l’assenza totale di servizi. È possibile fare il check-in solo in determinate fascie orarie, non ci sono area comuni o altri servizi che generalmente ci si aspetta di trovare in un ostello. Nelle camere, inoltre non sono presenti armadietti.

- Rudzinskaite (8/5): better than reviews I read - comfortable bed, nice room, good location, closets didnt have outlets next to the bed or lamps, weird that they steam you when you arrive
- Hedger (7/5): - It was clean, in a great location, good sized rooms, friendly staff, clear entry exit and check in/out, for my trip it was very satisfactory. No kitchen or food/water preparation facilities. The rooms are close together so it can be a bit noisy when people leave or arrive, but that is the way of the hostel.
- johnny (5/5): Tutto perfetto apparte le docce - La posizione centrale, la pulizia generale del posto, la sicurezza, l’Interior design e il personale molto gentile e competente. L’acqua gelida della doccia, ci sono problemi con la caldaia e dovrebbero essere risolti prima di accogliere persone. Inoltre i box doccia nonostante siano ben tre sono maltenuti, rotti e veramente scomodi.
- Guest (7/5): -
- Arni TT (6/5): - Sehr zentraler und ruhiger Ort Enge der Zimmer, Ausstattung Dusche, kein warmes Wasser, Check-in Zeiten
- Gubinelli (3/5): -
- Theodore (5/5): - Cheap and close to everything Bunch of papers everywhere telling you what you can and can’t do, like 1984
- emanuele (6/5): - Prezzo e posizione Check in orario fisso, la non possibilità di cancellazione gratuita, struttura molto consumata
- cauquil (7/5): Hostel très central, bien placé ,propre et calme mais aucune déco ni convivialité. Utile pour dormir - Le principal atout: SITUATION EXCELLENTE
Très propre.
Les casiers dans le dortoir sont assez grands et ferment à clé. IL N'Y A PAS DE CUISINE , pas même un micro-ondes!
AUCUN LIEU DE CONVIVIALITE
Pas de rideaux aux lits, pas de chaise dans le dortoir (ni de table)
RECEPTION ouverte que deux heures le matin et deux heures l'après midi Je jeune homme à l'accueil est sympa mais ne peut pas faire plus que ce qui lui est permis.
- Iacopino (10/5): - Grandissimo Kleo La cucina era chiusa e questo non può succedere in un ostello nonostante l'elevato numero di ospiti la cucina è messa per far fronte proprio a tutti gli ospiti di quel piano se non hanno chiesto faccio mancata e
- Francesca (3/5): - posizione centralissima bagni estremamente sporchi, orari check in ridotti, isolamento acustico assente tra camere

- Tiziano (4/5): Kind staff, big issues with showers. I won't visit again. - Posizione centralissima, staf gentile. Delle 3 docce in comune, 2 avevano un guasto (non segnalato). Il terzo aveva la luce che si spegneva dall'esterno e per sbaglio qualcuno l'ha spenta mentre facevo la doccia. Primo giorno doccia fredda, secondo giorno doccia al buio. Forse sono stato sfortunato? Per questo prezzo, mi sarei aspettato di meglio.

- Pierpaolo (6/5): Just sufficient - It was clean Check in at 12:00 check out at 10:30, less than
24 hours.
- Pasqualino (10/5): - L'accoglienza e la pulizia Niente
- Sara (7/5): -
- Juliana (7/5): - Localizzazione ottima, stanza accogliente e ho dormito bene. I bagni no sono molto puliti
- Matheus Hiago (1/5): - Very good location. Reception staff impolite and disrespectful, they just don’t care about the wellbeing of the guest.
Check-in time is NOT what says (they could put on description and they do not on purpose, after you booked and paid they text u warning).
Also they don’t put on purpose on description that they might charge you 20€ for keys (Backup safety money, they will give u back on check-out).
Rooms are not clean properly and smells like pee and mofus, also the bed clothing is not washed often or is very bad washed, walls are falling apart.
The bathrooms are very dirty and sometimes they don’t even replace the toilet papers.

- faiza (2/5): Very disappointing - Can't think of very much to like I was in a dorm of 8 people. The air conditioning was not working at night and no one answered the messages or calls on the hostel phone. It would have been decent to move us to other rooms. As a result we had to sleep with the door open to let some air in.
The bed was very uncomfortable and I could feel the mattress springs.
The shower attached to our room wasn't working.
All in all, it was very shoddy and I wouldn't recommend it at all.
