Guest Reviews
- Ferrari (7/5): - Stanze accoglienti Posizione
- Noémi (10/5): - Külön köszönet a nyitvatartás előtti bejutási lehetőségért. Valamint a vendégek külön külön szobában való elhelyezésért. Ilyen nem volt
- Ketty (5/5): -
- Thomas (1/5): - they sent me sway for medical reason see above

- chowdhury (7/5): -
- Franco (6/5): - Il prezzo ottimo, perfetto per quello che dovevo fare. ( cammino con 8 adolescenti) Tutto ok
- Simona (9/5): Soggiorno piacevole - Struttura semplice ma accogliente Scarsa privacy, si è rotta la chiave della camera
- Ariel (3/5): -
- Marzena (10/5): Ok, gospodarz bardzo pomocny -
- Inés (7/5): For young and easy going people - Super friendly und considerate staff, very good pasta and wine! Cool people :) In common room there are 2 very small fridges, i think some kitchen equipment will not be competitive with his own restaurant and backpackers could be thankful ;)
- Leonardo (8/5): - location comoda. parcheggio perfetto e gratuito. colazione non inclusa. nulla di particolarer.
- patricia (8/5): - Ostello carino, i ragazzi gentilissimi e disponibili. Letti molto comodi.
- Michele (10/5): Incantevole - Posizione dell'ostello, tranquillità, ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo, servizi offerti. Non basterebbe una maggiore cura della struttura.
- Alexandra (8/5): - Très bon accueil et bien situé. 6 lits dans une chambre ça faisait beaucoup surtout quand les gens ne respectent pas le calme des autres personnes
- Pellerito (10/5): Tutto good 😎 - Staff gentilissimo! Pulizia ok, ottimo il cibo e anche la struttura letti comodi.
- Pellerito (10/5): -
- Franco (7/5): Per quello che si spende va bene….. - La comodità e gli spazi comuni.. il giardino.. ottimo come punto di appoggio lungo la francigena…prezzo più che onesto. Nonostante sia di ultima costruzione ci sono delle cose da migliorare, le serrature dei bagni, alcuni letti ( le stecche..) un po’ di pulizia in generale..( anche in giardino..)
- Oliviero Carlo (6/5): - Nell'insieme è una bella struttura, comoda ai servizi con ampio spazio verde esterno. Purtroppo ho trovato gli spazi comuni molto sporchi e trasandati, sia all'interno che all'esterno. Tavoli e sedie sporchi, bottiglie e contenitori vuoti abbandonati. All'esterno mucchi di oggetti vari accatastati ed abbandonati da tempo. I bagni erano costantemente sporchi con capelli ed altri residui a terra e nei lavabi. Dei tre WC uno era fuori servizio ed uno aveva il pulsante bloccato, lasciando scorrere l'acqua in continuazione. Spero che la struttura intervenga per ripristinare livelli minimi di pulizia e manutenzione.
- Damián Leandro (10/5): - Buena onda y mucha autonomía Nada

- Ilenia (9/5): -
- Valentina (5/5): - The location is ok and it looks like this used to be nice hostel. The food was ok. It was dirty, there was a person who was living in the hostel and took almost half a room. One bathroom lock did not work, all the hostel was not clean.
- Preto (10/5): - Increíble, personal super amable, a buen precio, y tienen bar/restaurante donde puedes pedir comida. Personalmente, estaba bastante vacio aquel dia y me hubieran podido poner en otra hab, ya que me tocó compartir con una persona que roncaba, pero bueno, no es culpa del alojamiento.

- LOIUDICE (8/5): -
- Rimvydas (10/5): Exceptional -
- Adukonis (8/5): Very good - Please notice- there are not transfer between hotel and airport!!!!! Please take off this information!
- Daniele (8/5): Cheap not cheap accommodation - The staff was very friendly and the hostel has everything you need for a pleasant stay. The beds were comfortable and the restaurant had very simple but very good dishes for very honest price.
- Vlasta (6/5): Pleasant - The owners were nice and helpful. It is on Via Francigena route. We searched a bit, it is wrongly marked on mapy.cz, on google maps it is correct. We didn't get a key to the room, which felt a little weird. Common areas and bathroom were quite dirty.
- Gabriela (4/5): Disappointing -
- Sirio (8/5): Very good -
- Igor (8/5): Very good -
- Stephen (8/5): Very good - The staff were great really helpful and friendly. There was a great atmosphere in the bar when I arrived, a good mix of locals and travellers The shower wasn't great although everywhere was very clean
- Corallo (10/5): Exceptional -
- Iqbal (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jonathan (10/5): Exceptional -
- Iqbal (10/5): Exceptional -
- Anthony (8/5): Very good -
- Niki (6/5): One night stay, easy to book and communicate with the host. Loud due to a concert. - Relatively close to big supermarkets.
Easy to checkin and out. Unfortunately the hostel has no kitchen to cook by ourselves.
Quiet dirty floor.
- Petar (7/5): Good - There was a rock concert so didn't get to sleep til 12 but other than that was a standard hostel
- Lucas (1/5): Scam. Worst hostel ever!! - Nothing! The place was completely abandoned!
I arrived on Sunday night and left on Thursday morning. I only saw the staff on Sunday (because they were having a party at the hostel) and punctually on Monday and Tuesday. I didn't see anyone on the other days!
Speaking of the party, people were using the same bathrooms as the guests and it was filthy.
Furthermore, as you can see in the photos, the toilet flush was broken, there was only hand soap in 1 of the 3 bathrooms, the shower stalls were greasy and apparently hadn't been cleaned in months.
In the common area on the second floor, there was a dirty fork on the table, dirty food papers on the table and the table was filthy.
The room wasn't clean when I arrived and it remained that way until I left.
Contrary to the description here on booking.com, the hostel didn't have a restaurant open during the period I stayed, no coffee machine, toaster, kitchen utensils, bike rental or any of the other activities listed, the TV didn't pick up any channels, there was no individual locker to put your luggage in, anyway, I think you can understand how terrible the place is.
I just don't give it a zero because there's no way.
If I could give you one tip, it would be to stay far away from this hostel.
- Kieran (9/5): Close to Lucca and great views of hills from Hostel - Staff are great guys. Very cool and laid back. Lots of good music at this location.
- Ravindra (8/5): Very good - Looks more safe and good staff also
- Joseph (10/5): Couldn't recommend enough, if you are travelling that way. - Friendly staff, with a great atmosphere and really chilled out study area/common area on the top floor. Organised music on a weekend, too. Near plenty of cafes and amenities I wouldn't change anything about it!
- Kezia (5/5): Passable -
- Michal (10/5): Exceptional -
- Chaves (4/5): Disappointing -
- Zakaria (1/5): Bad -
- Jeremi (10/5): Exceptional -
- Eivind (4/5): Disappointing - Capannori is a very beautiful area, not too far from Lucca.
Ostello La Salana is very affordable, the property of the hostel is large and the building well facilitated for a hostel,
but it is not properly sustained by the owners of the hostel.
When I was to check out I asked if it would be okay for me to eat breakfast at the hostel, even though I was late for the check out, in which the owner was kind to say yes. I made a booking for five days, and after making the booking I made a request to arrive a day later, which was declined.
I received a message that the check in was open until 23:00 and arrived 22:50, but there was no one at the reception and the hostel was closed. They did not answer the phone when I called them, but luckily there was a nice person staying at the hostel who let me in. I stayed there for five days and during the five days I stayed there they did not clean the rooms or even the bathrooms. They did not make the beds for the persons checking out either.
- Matej (7/5): Good -
- Indrek (7/5): For one night stay is ok - Nice personal Room was good but house litllebit dirty
- Jivan (9/5): My stay in Cappanori @Ostello La Salana - Nice and peaceful area during the daytime. Great Pizzeria around the corner. The owners Marco and Allesandro were very friendly and accommodating. The hostel was well priced for the most part. The bathrooms and rooms were kept very clean by Marco. Overall I recommend staying here! However, know that it can sometimes be very loud and noisy with the restaurant being downstairs. Also there was no stove to cook on for guests, only a microwave and no wash sink for dirty plates and cutlery.
- Jessica (5/5): Hostel without Kitchen - The staff There isn't a kitchen that is near the road, it's a bit noisy. Also the WiFi was not working well at the Co-working
- Petree.ro (8/5): Very good -
- Brian (9/5): Superb - Convenient, relaxed, friendly staff, food and drink available and low cost. All good.
- Kev (7/5): Good -
- Tassilo (3/5): Poor -
- Emily (8/5): a refuge in tuscany - i loved:
- how clean it was. seriously, i’ve stayed in a lot of questionable hostels lately and this one was very clean!
- a peaceful, pleasant atmosphere. i felt like i could come home after a long day (of boiling in florence among the tourists) and relax.
- the staff were really friendly!
- lots of common areas for people to meet or just hangout with a book.
- air conditioning!!! important to note:
- the toilets were tricky to figure out at first and i think that they could do with new flush plates. there’s a little exposed compartment above the toilet where you have to manually move the the flush thingies. not a big deal but it might be helpful to provide instructions above the compartment :)
- the hostel was basically empty when i stayed so this didn’t end up being an issue but the beds are pretty close together with no curtains. i’m really happy my neighbour and i didn’t make awkward eye contact lol
- Olwen (8/5): I’m a digital nomad who’s looking for a nicely small town to live and work, this is the choice. - The food is good, people are nice. A great place for people enjoying their leisure time. The buses come not often, it’s better to search for the time table and make a little bit plans if you’re going to downtown Lucca.
- Anonymous (9/5): Superb -
- Richard (5/5): Passable - Good location and food. Staff were friendly. The property was in need of maintenance.
- Joedkn (7/5): Friendly and comfortable - Staff were lovely! Friendly, laidback atmosphere. Comfortable beds. Restaurant is nice too and reasonably priced. Bathrooms needed some cleaning and repairs. The dormitory rooms need softer lights or bed lamps, they only have two lighting options: pitch black or extremely bright flourescent lights. Location is not Lucca and it's difficult to get back there from lucca in the evening - no buses, taxis or Über available. If you just want to experience that local area then location is fine but I recommend that you don't book this as accommodation for visiting Lucca.
- Emily (7/5): Good - La Salana is definitely a place to have lots of fun and an unforgettable time. It’s the right place to get in touch with locals but also with other traveler.
I truly enjoyed that there were festivities from thursday to sunday. I must say that La Salana isn’t the cleanest or best organized hostel. But it wasn’t a huge problem for me. I knew what I was up to, so I didn’t really mind it.
- Stefano (9/5): Great "pit stop" on the Francigena. - Great communication with the guys, prior and during my stay. Clear instructions for self-checking out early in the morning, very helpful in finding a good storage for my bicycle. Great food for a fair price in the evening. Highly appreciated.
- Luca (6/5): Pleasant -
- Nina (10/5): Great chill place - The staff and atmosphere make this a great place. They are also a bar/restaurant. The food is great and they often have music and other types of entertainment. Marco, the main host, makes this a welcoming amazing place for a relaxing stay
- Sanita (2/5): not for families and elder people - Free parking, although we had to park pretty much on the street. And it was quite scary to leave the car there. When we first arrived there was a ?party? going on, lots of young people drinking, loud music. When we got the room keys, went to the room, it was opened, anyone could have gone in used the beds for some things... and left. No towels in the room, I had to go and look for them myself. Both of the bathrooms on our floor were dirty, in the morning I had to have a shower next to a half empty wine glass. Bathroom also had a weird smell. Beds were not very comfortable.
- Steve (8/5): good value stopover to explore region - good location for exploring region including Pisa and Florence in small country town, comfortable dorms. good bathrooms, a bar and restaurant open to non hostellers so you meet locals but no kitchen , great relaxing atmosphere and always plenty of live music, good garden space and some parking nothing
- Meghan (9/5): Superb -
- Rushikesh (7/5): Good -
- Shiyong (9/5): Superb -
- Fausto (8/5): Nice hostel ,. Young and helpful staff, - Nice Staff , events, value for money Late Check-in (afternoon)
- Atena (8/5): Very good -
- Edith (10/5): Exceptional -
- Joe (10/5): Exceptional -
- Brian (8/5): Very good -
- Brian (8/5): Very good - cheap Not within walking distance, so you have to rely on the bus.
- Songkran (8/5): Great hostel to stay -
- Hannah (7/5): had a amazing! - the home atmosphere, the chill area at the last floor, met many people, had a really nice Programm on Sunday(the fashion show), the open attitude of Italian people, willingness to help, big dorm room and also big and bright house, affordable no kitchen(also restaurant closed Monday, which is fine but i didn’t know and almost starved),
the bathroom are overly clean, but the showers could use a deep clean,they were kinda dirty.
there was no woman dorm.
for those 3 point, it gave 3 less points, but I want to say, that i had an amazing time here and would definitely recommend going here!!
