Summary of traveller reviews

Il Castello Hostel Boutique in Bologna offers a fantastic central location, perfect for exploring the city. While some guests find the common areas could be more social and the facilities, particularly bathrooms, need updates, the hostel is generally considered a good value for short stays.

We stayed in a private room and it was fine. Barely a hostel, had no kitchen or decent common area. Bad value for the price. It was also extremely hot in the room despite it being temperate outdoors.

Nice staff and great location. But too many rules and notices! Dont do this, dont do that. Relax, people want to enjoy their time there ☺️

The location overall is fine, but the staff are unhelpful and wouldnt let me wait inside the hostel for my train ride so i had to walk around the streets for 2 hours, there was multiple drug users walking around shirtless within the property and i didnt feel comfortable at any one moment, a naked man was changing in my room and i was forced to vacate the lackluster common room to sit in a hotel lobby for 3 hours just to get out of that hell hole, i wouldnt recommend this hostel.
