Very clean and comfortable with various spaces to relax outside the rooms. Super affordable. I travelled to attend the F1 with my father. I am a 43 year old female and he is 69. We stayed in a mix room. It was much more comfortable than I thought it would be and cleaned just as well as an expensive hotel room daily.

I’ve lost the count of how many times I’ve been here now. Every time I’m in Bologna, I have no doubt about where I’m going to stay. Beds are the comfiest, and tasty breakfast offers lots of choices. As always, they pack my breakfast when I’m leaving early. Location in also superb, just few minutes walking and you’re in Piazza Maggiore. Lastly, staff is super friendly and available.

This is a great accommodation option, set in the lovely mountains, on the Via Degli Dei and the German Gothic Line of World War 2. It is 5 kms from the train station at Vado, and 4kms from Monzuno. There are buses to both towns. For an inexpensive hot meal (takeaway) option, I would strongly recommend Sonia next door. You will need to book ahead and the host's will give you contact numbers. I tried all 3 accommodations at the residence - tent, bungalow, and apartment -, and they were all cozy and inexpensive. The host couple are most hospitable and helpful. Great value!

This place is great for solo travellers, couples and families, as they can accommodate all of these. Ideally placed two minutes from the train station, so if, like me, you couldn’t afford a bunk in Bologna, it’s a cost effective way to deal with this, as it’s only 15mins to Bologna on the train. The hostel seems brand-new, is very well set-up and Matteus and Mara took good care of me. Highly recommended.

All hostels in Bologna

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
