Summary of traveller reviews

Il Nosadillo Hostel in Bologna is praised for its excellent, central location, making it easy to explore the city. Guests frequently highlight the exceptionally friendly and helpful staff, who contribute to a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Many appreciate the clean facilities and comfortable beds, with some noting the unique single beds. The included breakfast, often featuring homemade cake, is a popular perk. It's well-suited for solo travellers and those seeking a social yet relaxed environment.

Good location, towels included and free breakfast. Laundry was very reasonably priced and there was free luggage storage. However, I wouldn't stay here again as the AC was set on 27C and even though many people complained, staff didn't do anything. The fan in the room was broken also. The room was so hot and the pillow was too firm and high that I couldn't sleep all night. Considering the heatwave, the lack of cooling inside made it a very uncomfortable experience.

Great hostel located just a stone throw away from bologna’s city centre. Beds were comfy, towels and new sheets provided and big enough locker with a key by the bed. Kitchen was fully equipped with a fridge, microwave, stove and toaster and cooking meals are very possible. Toilets and showers located outside the room are kept well cleaned with hairdryer provided.
