Guest Reviews
- Fabiana (10/5): -
- mattia (10/5): - Stanze pulite, deposito bici e personale cordiale e ultra disponibile
- Mykyta (10/5): Nice place to stay one night - Friendly people Toilet
- Gaia (8/5): Un piccolo spazio di paradiso per i viaggiatori! - L'accoglienza , molto gentili e disponibili, la posizione praticamente a pochi minuti dal centro e 10 minuti dalla cittadella.
Per chi deve fare dei viaggi brevi ma anche per chi è già abituato a dormire in camerata... È un lusso! E poi ha un chiostro molto bello, con una stanza per giochi e biliardino per intrattenersi la sera.
- Viviani (5/5): Decepcionante - Os quartos possuem teias de aranha no teto, as roupas de cama estavam com manchas e estavam muito velhas. Havia somente um banheiro feminino e um masculino no corredor, o que deixava a desejar. Durante a minha estadia somente haviam homens hospedados lá, o que me deixou um pouco desconfortável.
- Oier (8/5): -
- Jaume.lh (9/5): Cèntric - Està al centre de la ciutat i es pot anar caminant, hi ha restaurants als voltants i a la nit és tranquil. Té el claustre per deacansar i taules i cadires per prendre algo. Les habitacions son simples
- Marco (9/5): - Ostello pulito, personale accogliente e ottimo rapporto qualità-prezzo. Consigliato!
- Andrea (8/5): - Cortesia staff,

Anna la ragazza delle pulizie e precisa e perfecta
- Roberto Varveri (9/5): Location molto famigliare e tranquilla, situata in posizione strategica in pieno centro storico. -
- NICOLAS (10/5): - The hostel is in a great location and very affordable (I paid almost nothing considering the excellent quality of service). It’s close to everything (train station, downtown, university, supermarket...).
All the staff at the hostel were very helpful; they were very friendly and quite respectful... even after my stay there ended, they still help me and give me advice whenever I have questions about living in Alessandria, Italy. Unfortunately, the hostel didn't have a full kitchen. Since it's located in a historic building, making specific modifications and renovations can be a bit difficult. However, the hostel provides the basics so you can cook or eat something there during your stay (microwave ovens, coffee makers, refrigerators, tea makers, etc.). Other than that, I thought the hostel was simply perfect! ^^
- severine (10/5): Une étape super pour notre périple familial en Italie - Super accueil et des renseignements sur les lieux et la ville. Merci de nous avoir modifié notre réservation pour une chambre avec salle de bain pour notre famille.

- Alexandre (10/5): -
- Walter (3/5): - La camera era semivuota e la zona é molto tranquilla come l'ostello ed era ció che cercavo.
Alcuni dello staff erano gentili. La signora delle pulizie che a volte siede alla reception é stata piuttosto sgarbata, come che non accettasse alcuna domanda e rispondeva tipo: " ma fai come vuoi"..., mai cambiato le lenzuola dopo 4 giorni, il quinto mi vede in camera e mi dice " ti lascio le lenzuola, te le cambi tu o lo devo fare io?", oltretutto la camera é pulita solo superficialmente, i pavimenti non sono lavati da tempo e infatti c'é presenza di mosconi xxl tutti i giorni.
- Natalia (10/5): - El personal super amable! Pase solo una noche y la ubicacion es buena. Excelente WiFi. No hay vajilla en la cocina.
- Mohamed Aziz (9/5): -
- Angela (7/5): Personale gentile e cortese - Bellissimo il chiostro dove si colloca il b&b, personale super disponibile e gentilissimo Dovrebbero essere risistemate le finestre e le zanzariere, non tutte sono dotate di ventilatori fondamentali in momenti di afa
- Legeleux (9/5): pour cette étape nous somme ravis de c'être arrêter dans ce lieux. - Nous avons apprécier l'accueil du personnel ainsi que les explications historique sur le site. On à senti un attachement pour ce lieu qui lui donne à nos yeux une belle valeur et participe au charme. en résumé belle expérience pour nous dans un cadre charger d'histoire. la sale de bain pourrait bénéficier d'une petite rénovation, pour la chambre que nous avons eu, peut etre un lit double pour un couple avec des enfants serait appréciable.

- Abbatriatico (10/5): Accoglienza e struttura super - Struttura molto gradevole e rilassante, un grazie ad Anna per la gentile accoglienza. Ci sono arrivato in bici dopo tanti km, e trovare persone gentili all'arrivo é sempre super. Grazie.
- Claudio (8/5): - La struttura è storica,sì trova praticamente al centro e quindi comodissima. Personale gentile e disponibile. Il bagno ha bisogno di manutenzione.
- Gabriele (10/5): RELAX,TRANQUILLITÀ E BELLEZZA A PREZZI CONTENUTI - Una struttura ex-convento nel pieno centro di Alessandria, in un contesto di estrema bellezza e tranquillità. L’ostello si trova accanto alla splendida chiesa da cui prende il nome. Ci sono molti tavolini e panchine dove potersi rilassare e godersi l’aria aperta nella splendida corte interna della struttura.
I dormitori si trovano in camere ampie e curate, e la notte la zona è estremamente silenziosa. Il personale è stato estremamente cordiale e gentile, rendendo il mio soggiorno perfetto! -a mio parere, l’aggiunta di una piccola zona bar con caffetteria preparata al momento sarebbe l’aggiunta ideale per godersi ancora meglio la bellezza e tranquillità della struttura durante il proprio soggiorno.

- Davide (9/5): Soggiorno di qualità e ottimo posto per rilassarsi - Il luogo è storico e caratteristico, ben tenuto e curato. Lo staff disponibilissimo e molto gentile. Le camerate, seppur semplici, hanno tutto quello che serve. Un ottimo posto dove passare qualche notte. Anche la pulizia degli spazi e dei bagni sopra le aspettative. Forse qualcosa da aggiungere nella zona "cucina" per facilitarne l'utilizzo.
- Flora (9/5): -
- Matteo (5/5): -
- Alberto (10/5): -
- Gabriele (7/5): Vita da voyeur - Letti comodi e morbidi ma poco piantati sulle gambe del letto, mentre scopavamo si spostavano di continuo, anche per dormire. Luce soffusa che creava bene atmosfera, comoda anche per dormirci. Camera grande, bagni non distanti. Distributori che non prendono la carta, personale poco reperibile, riscaldamento da rivedere.

- Bruno (8/5): Très bon point de base - L'hostel est situé dans un joli bâtiment historique du centre d'Alexandrie (cloître) avec une belle cour centrale en espaces verts. L'accueil a été super cordial et sympathique et on s'est sentis véritablement accueillis, d'autant plus que nous avons été surclassés avec un dortoir incluant WC et salle de bains. Nous occupions seuls (2 personnes) un dortoir de 10 et avions donc de l'intimité personnelle.
Le bâtiment est très près du centre et on saura vous conseiller de bons endroits pour boire un verre ou aller au restaurant. La ville est très belle aussi. Parking gratuit à disposition très proche (non surveillé).
C'était donc une belle étape sur notre trajet. Le confort est un peu sommaire (lits simples dans un dortoir) mais c'est ok. Le rapport qualité-prix est un peu décevant à 33€ par personne et par nuit pour une auberge de jeunesse. Mais c'est compensé par la proximité de la ville, l'histoire du bâtiment et l'incroyable gentillesse du personnel.

- HADCREW (7/5): -
- FrancescaBosco17 (10/5): Molto soddisfatta - Struttura molto pulita in contesto silenzioso e tranquillo. Gestore all'accoglienza molto gentile e disponibile. Nulla, tutto come previsto.
- Elia (9/5): - Sono venuto ad Alessandria per esporre al Alecomics e lavorare tutto il weekend. Il Chiostro è stato un ottimo compromesso: ottima posizione; ottima gestione degli spazi e disponibilità del personale; unica pecca, che non deriva dall'incompetenza della struttura, è che PURTROPPO i compagni di camera sono quelli che ti capitano, e trovare dei maleducati a volte può appesantire l'alloggio. Tuttavia, tirando le somme, ci ritornerei volentieri! Aggiungere delle tende per il letti, delle tendine oscuranti

- DEL BIANCO (10/5): Mon endroit préféré lors de mes voyages en Italie. - La situation de l'hébergement pas loin de la vile et de très bonne pizzeria. Tout est super, ajouter du confort augmenterai le tarif.
- Tudi (7/5): - L’emplacement est proche du centre et les lits sont agréables. Nous avons réservé en ant que couple et l’annonce n’était pas assez précise. Nous nous attendions pas à nous retrouver dans une chambre pour 6 d’auberge de jeunesse.
- Martin (8/5): - Good value for money stopover
- Anja (9/5): Great service ant top hospitality in a historic setting. -
- Nataša (10/5): Nice place - A former monastery with a beautiful green atrium. The rooms are modest, but large and very clean. An ideal stop for one night when returning from walking the Camino de Santiago.
- Assbaa (10/5): Loved my stay, Clean, Friendly, and Well-Located! - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Great Stay in a Clean and Friendly Hostel
I stayed in a shared dormitory at Il Chiostro Hostel & Hotel and had a great experience. The room was spacious, clean, with a big shower and toilet inside the dorm, which was very convenient. There are also extra showers and toilets outside the room
The atmosphere was calm and welcoming, and the historical building adds a special charm. The shared kitchen was very useful it had a refrigerator, kettle, and microwave
The staff were very kind, helpful, and always available for any questions. The hostel is in a quiet area but still close to the center of Alessandria, which made it easy to explore the city.
I’d definitely recommend Il Chiostro to anyone looking for a relaxed and budget-friendly place to stay! Honesty, there was nothing I didn’t like. Everything met or exceeded my expectations.
- Mateusz (10/5): Exceptional - Chiostro's greatest asset is its location in a former monastery. All in all, my stay was short but pleasant, so I can recommend it without hesitation.
- Wendy (8/5): Very good -
- Kutay (9/5): A really pleasant place with very welcoming hosts. Would recommend -
- Amanda (9/5): A great place to stay - The location is really central, staff are friendly and the building is unique has the feeling of serenity around the grounds .
It's more for the quiet travelers they have a free library and you can rent a bike for a small price to go around the city . The Citadel is well worth a visit .
I love the way they are also using the facilities to get children back into books by using performance and storytelling and using their imagination by puppeteer workshops .
It's a wonderful place to stay In the shared dorms I think more showers are needed.
- Eljo (7/5): Good -
- Mary (10/5): Exceptional - The bathroom
- Jeffrey (6/5): Pleasant -
- Pierre (9/5): Superb - Everything was perfect, free parking for motorbikes inside the place. Thanks for hosting! Maybe the fact that it was too hot in the room, but minor remark!
- Oscar (9/5): Beautiful location, helpful staff and good value for money - The location and the building are beautiful, the staff were really helpful and there was good bike storage. Very good value for money and a lovely stay. Not much, it would have been easier if they had towels, but that's not uncommon, also my clothes got every wet on the cycle and there wasn't really anywhere to dry them effectively, so some more hanging space could be useful.
- David (8/5): Very good - Would rate this in the high 8s.
All good, great value, building is a classic, they could improve it but then the rates would double, glad they're keeping it as it is. Only complaint, which is trivial, was the wifi didn't work in the room, had to go to the common areas to use.
- Joseph (9/5): Superb -
- Martin (8/5): Very good - Perfect location, and quite place. You are sleeping in the old monastery. Old furniture, very basic kitchen.
- Paul (10/5): Exceptional - Character and friendly staff. No aircon (it was built in the 14th century so understandable) but it was 40 degrees when we were there.
