Liked: Staff & service
I found it easy to move around and walked everywhere. Staff super friendly. Ten people in one room was a bit much, but overall comfortable. Thank you.!
Clean room , friendly staffs & very accessible to any amenities . Separate toilet , shower & lavatory specific for women only , away from male rooms & toilets . Have ample space for kitchen with utensils, tables & chairs . Highly recommended ! Love it
The reviews told me the chances of getting bed bugs was likely. I did get bed bugs. And am now attempting to deal with this which continuing to travel. The actual place was okay but they need to fumigated. If you are ok with bedbugs it’s an okay place. Otherwise. Be warned. Also. The staff were not friendly or helpful in any manner. Basically did the bare minimum and did that under sufferance
The locker was a little bit difficult to open, make sure to bring your own lock and towel

very long wait checking in… 40mins.
one room next to mine extremely noising with obviously no consideration to fellow sleepers…. 2am yelling/slaming doors
The location is good, the receptionist is nice and the kitchen is well equipped. The only bad part was that we were 18 in a room so it got very crowded and noisy.

Okay for a hostel
This is a busy hostel. Sort of feels like a bed factory. You get what you paid for, and that’s it. The mixed form is very new to me and I don’t think it should exist.
No ambiance and bathrooms were poorly equipped.
Hostel was in a good location and had friendly staff. The beds were nothing special and the fans in the room weren't enough to cover all 8 beds. Didn't use the other amenities so can't speak to how the kitchen was.
Really nice hostel! The staff was nice and the facilities were good too. The one down side was it was so hot in the room because they only have fans. But it’s italy in the summer, so what can you expect.
