Fantastic atmosphere. The staff were so accommodating. I loved the early morning and late evening vibe of the courtyard - made me feel like I was not alone. Thank you to the staff for letting me store my snacks in your cooler and for making my tea every morning with hot milk :)

Staff were friendly and welcoming, rooms were nice and clean but showers were not so clean. Buses are easy to get , only a five minute walk from the hostel, but getting somewhere such as Florence may take longer from this destination depending on what train you get. The common areas were comfy and had a nice atmosphere.

Was skeptical because of the low amount of reviews but overall it was great. Don’t expect a top of the line hostel but it was clean, location was good. Not much going on at the hostel while i was there but was great looking and the staff was very kind. I definitely recommend if you are staying in Reggio Emelia.
