Reviews of Ostello a Casa di Amici

23 May 2012

Liked: The property is centrally located so you don't have to take a car anywhere for sight seeing. Free WiFi.

Disliked: It seemed to myself that this hostel is much more tuned for the party seeker as opposed to a sight seeing traveller such as myself where I would like a good night sleep. Both nights I stayed I was awoke multiple times at different hours by other guests and by people in the streets. I've stayed in other hostels where courtesy for your fellow travellers is stressed but there was no one on site after hours to enforce this here.

25 April 2012 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Great location, very clean, fun atmosphere with colorful art on the walls, nice music playing, a complete kitchen, many thoughtful touches and amenities that are helpful for the backpacker. Room was comfortable and spacious and sheets and comforters were clean and colorful. Also enjoyed all of the helpful information posted on the walls and on the map.

Disliked: Maybe she was having a bad day but Claudia (receptionist) seemed burdened by my basic questions for recommendations in the area. Also, there was only one bathroom for men and for women with the shower, toilet and sink all in one room which left a lot of people waiting at prime times. I know there probably isn't much you can do to change the plumbing, but it was inconvenient at times.

Liked: I stayed just only one night. But I had really happy time. Because they provided really nice atmosphere. Oner Claudia has really good taste!! Especially reception room was soooo cute and her dog also cute!! とても良いホステルでした。オーナーさんのセンスが抜群でユーモアがあってキュートな内装がたまらなかったです。気さくでかしこまってない雰囲気が日本人の自分にはとても気持ちが良かったです。

Disliked: WATARU left no negative feedback.

10 December 2011 Anne would recommend this property

Liked: Excellent place! So friendly, with all the facilities needed. No bunk beds, lots of room in each dorm. Mellow, relaxed atmosphere - do your laundry in the sink, hang it to dry on your balcony, no worries. Only two bathrooms, but never seemed a problem. Lots of interesting travelers to hang out with, lots of guidance given about where to eat, drink, get the bus, etc.

Disliked: Breakfast was rather sparse. Could have used some fruit, better bread, some yogurt or cheese or eggs. Still, easy to supplement with your own supplies.

10 October 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: The people that run it are friendly, it feels more like a bed and breakfast than a hostel. It has quite a small, cosy feel to it. It was clean and the location was great for getting to nightlife and the bus for the beach.

Disliked: Nothing, I really enjoyed my stay here.
