I wish there was a kitchen, other wise I would not have minded the 20 minute busride to the center of town. Also there are very few busses if you arrive on a Sunday afternoon. But it was nice, quiet.

Considering this town does not have a lot of hostel options... it was fine for me. It is a bit out of the city (take the 93 bus)which is ok as long as you do not plan on going out at night. It feels like a prison/old school.

This was a pretty nice place, but I never managed to get the wifi to work with my laptop.

I only spent one night at this hostel. It's away from the centre of town, but the bus stops right out the front (unfortunately I was travelling on a public holiday, when buses came at 2-hourly intervals!). The staff were very friendly and helpful. My room quite spacious, with 4 single beds - a nice change from the usual cramped bunkbeds! Wifi access was not the best, bit temperamental and only worked in a small area. Would probably stay here again if I returned to Bologna :)

The Good: It's very quiet. Staff sells bus tickets in case you forgot to buy before.. The Bad: Breakfast is bare. No Cheese, No ham. Bread, butter and nutella + coffee machine. It's very far from city downtown. I highly recommend you get an Italian sim card and use google maps. There are some weird people living there as permanent residents. Internet does not work. You have to use a personal pwd that expires after some time. And wifi does not work on all computers, staff can't help you.

really nice place. The location can be a problem, because its a bit far from the center, but mostly because the last bus is early some days of the week (about 8 pm). However, the hostel offers facilities, like the bus schedule and the tickets (you can buy there for a lower price). When i had to come back late, i took a taxi and it was about 12 euros.

The only problem with the hostel is the location, about 20 minutes by bus out of town. Thankfully the bus stop is right outside though. Security is good with lockers large enough to fit a large backpack.

breakfast and security are the best points of this hostel. It´s very far from the center of the city, there are few options of transportation to get there and even less information. I took long time every time! the rooms are big, beds are nice, but the ambience is of a hospital. unfortunately, it´s the only hostel option in the city..!

Here is the chipest place in Bologna. However very far away from the city center. And half of the staff can speak English. They do not take the American Dolars. And the best problem is really bad breakfast in the morning, I do not believe there is never any kind of cheese!!...

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.

Esta lejísimos de todo, pero los camiones te conectan bien a Bologna, si regresas de noche y viajes temprano ni te molestes en pagar el camión, nadie checa. Recibes una buena habitacion, baños limbios y lockers donde poner tus cosas. Sólo hay q ajustarse a los horarios de los camiones.
