In the middle of nowhere. Many long term residents that are weird and old men. No backpacker scene at all. This is more for school groups or people looking for a bed to stay on and no more

excellent place to stay. only disappointments was no computers, they did have free wi fi though and breakfast was poor (didnt expect any though so slight bonus at getting it) very clean and brilliant and helpful staff. bus on sunday was every 2 hours but if you walk 5 minutes you can get a choice of buses.

This place is Way out of town, not even walking distance without lugguage. The sterile hospital like rooms and common room had no atmophere. With the cost, i still had to pay for laundry. The breaky bread was stail & only half the staff seemed happy to help me & answer my questions. However if its the cheapest place to stay its certainly not the worst, buses are regular with the stop not too far away.

this place is in the middle of no-where bologna and is impossible to get to outside of taxi past 8pm. the beds are also some of the worst I have ever experienced, comprised of jabbing springs, felt like I was sleeping on rocks. go only as a last resort, as I did. do NOT recommend.

No problems; It's unfortunate that the hostel is far from town...

An alright, cheap option for staying near Bolonga. It is a little way out of the town though, as everyone else notes. And a fair hassle if you need to get to or from on a Sunday, with buses every two hours or so. But it has a pretty good set-up for meeting other travellers and having a bit of fun in the outdoor common area. If you wanted to go out in Bologna though, I'd imagine it would be annoying.

Need some fans in the room, very hot. Good bathrooms and showers, nice lockers. Just no cooking facilities so that can get expensive.

The hostel is a bit far from the central area. (~15m) You have to plan ahead to get back at night because buses are not quite frequent. I was staying at the Due Torri building, which is another 3-4 minutes walk from the main building. The road to that secondary building is not well lit. Breakfast was above average. The staff speak good English, and you can buy bus tickets at the hostel. Internet connection was not quite stable. I would stay longer if I didn't find other means of accommodation.

good staff but the location is a bit tricky.. you need to ask bus driver to call you at the stop otherwise you will make a round trip and need to wait once a hour bus again !
