Great vibes

Very nice hostel, exceptionally clean. I do like when bathrooms are separate from the rooms. The toilets are very clean and nice water pressure, feels like a home. Staff is very attentive. Only stayed one night, but it was a good experience. Rooms were nice and facilities had a good vibe. Breakfast is simple but nice. The only issue is that they had no parking support, as advertised on the hostel profile. Parked at the train station and walked, which is not close but worked.

I liked the vibe of the hostel. Very wondefully designed and it encourages people to socialize. The bunk beds don't make noise when you move through them. The hostel is clean, the showers and bathrooms are nice, and, staff is helpful, and there are activites scheduled everyday to entertain the travelers! Keep note that while the maps location of the hostel is accurate, there is no sign at all that exposes the hostel's location. Only a small label at the building directory will tell you you are in the right place. The hostel is in the 1st floor (2nd floor for Americans, Italy has a zero floor!)

Sad it was just 1 night stay

Had a great stay. Very clean hostel, great location, friendly staff. I liked the beds though the curtains are bit short and don't give privacy. There are 3 shared bathrooms which seem a bit limited for the whole hostel. The toilets are clean and spacious. The kitchen space is clean and has all that is needed, including free tea, coffee and cold watermt eh breakfast is decent but go early as it finishes quickly. I was sad to leave as hostel was fully booked and there was no room to extend

A very nice hostel with spacious rooms and comfortable beds. Breakfast provided which is excellent. Good location. The only downside is the lack of bathrooms, only three which are often being used. Really need to provide separate toilets from showers.
