07 December 2009 Gregory would recommend this property

Liked: The hostel building was very nice, spacious and clean. The staff was helpful and friendly. It is a bit far from the city center (20 min. by bus) but the main drawback is gypsys. A caravan of them routinely parks outside the hostel and the hostel has had various issues with them in the past. Myself, I was robbed of all my money, phone and iPod while I slept. Granted, one of my roommates may have failed to lock the bedroom door but my stuff was stolen from me as i slept with it LESS THAN 10 INCHES FROM MY HEAD! The guy also stole a bicycle from the yard and an iPod from someone in a different room. Another guest told me he had been approached by one of the gypsys 2 days before my incident and had been offered a stolen laptop computer that the guy pulled out from under his shirt. Great hostel but BE ON YOUR GUARD AT ALL TIMES!

Liked: Its cheap, compared to other places in Bologna, but you definately know it when you get there. Assuming you actually find the place. I would certainly not recommend arriving after dark as its hard enough to find in light. I found several groups of people wandering round the bus stop with no idea where to go. Fortunately i had checked in earlier so could help them.Also worth considering that it is at least 20 minutes from the centre, assuming you get an immediate bus departure which is not often. I waited an hour at the bus stop to get into town. Apparently the bus dont always arrive. Its a Euro each way to town so best to put that money towards a better located room in town. Would only recommend this to people who are skinned for money or single travellers that dont want to be forced to pay for double rooms elsewhere.Toilet was broken, water dripping from the roof, no soap dispensers, and the room smelt like a mixture of urine and stale socks.Oh, also even in late October there were mozzies everywhere.

15 October 2009 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Very clean. Gave us a triple room to ourselves as no doubles available. They ordered pizza for us on request. Only bad points was it is far away from the city centre and the wifi is not reachable in your room. Otherwise very clean and was a bed for a night which is all we were after.

Liked: The breakfast is awfull!!! Just one roll of bread each combined with undrinkable coffee (read very bad coffee). Do what most Italians do: "Colazione al bar".

30 September 2009

Liked: The location is terrible and there are not many buses to reach it. If I had to go back to the area, I would go to the hostels in Ferrara or Modena, which are better located.

29 September 2009 justine would recommend this property

Liked: very nice landscape. You have nice little rooms with TV inside. Rooms are very good.On the other hand, the showers could be better and you have to pay 2,50 euros to use internet. But apart from that, it's a good hostel!

21 September 2009 Anup would recommend this property

Liked: not near the main bologna centre, room was clean and adequate, bed was a bit uncomfortable, shower doors were broken, staff were very helpful, the other bus service (20) to and from town which stops about 15 minutes away from the hostel could be advertised more as it is has a better service than the advertised bus 93/30 (20 should not be used if you have heavy luggage)

12 September 2009 James would recommend this property

Liked: Good value but on outskirts of Bologna so need to take bus 93 about 15 mins centre which go about every 30 mins & no problem to explore the city for the day.As check in is after 2pm they were happy to store my suitcase earler in the day & returned evening.Quiet in the evening & no nearby food shops so ordering in pizza at night was popular.Met friendly people from all over Europe-not a party hostel if that is what you are looking for!

04 September 2009

Liked: This place is too far out and has a sniff of institutionalism about it. No fun to be had and feels like its a bit of a prison because there is simply nowhere to go or buy food etc when you are here. It is next to a busy main road which ironically has only one bus to attend it every 30 minutes.Basically - dont stop here, you will have much more fun in town even if it costs that little bit more.

30 August 2009 Jolene would recommend this property

Liked: I really enjoyed my stay at this hostel; it was quite clean and very secure. There were huge lockers to store my belongings and locks available for a refundable deposit. The downside is that it's not just far from the city, it's far from *everything.* On the upside, if you're looking for a quiet place to stay, you've got it. But because it's so far away there are very few services available. As far as I know (and I may be mistaken) there's not even a convenience store nearby to make purchases, let along a grocery store or restaurant. The free pizza delivery service is popular for a very good reason!Also, there's only one person on the desk, which means long lines for services at times.But as I said it's pleasant enough; it has laundry available, lockers, internet, bicycle rental, free (small) breakfast and a number of other services. I guess it depends what you're looking for.
