    Gypsies living in the rooms with strange odour . Covers on bed were not washed ever since they bought it. Its enough to wash it once a month at least. Everything is super old and they dont invest in hostel not a penny.

    The stuff was partialy nice and they moved me from one room to other. Clean sheet and pillow case. Amazing location.

    My bed didn’t feel comfortable and I couldn’t sleep all night. There was only a small blanket in my bed which was not enough to feel comfortable during winter days despite the room was warm.

    The place was cheap and clean. The location is very good.

    The wifi did not work inside the room. The staff behaved very rudely. Firstly,they provided us with the wrong key and we entered a different room.For this reason they shouted with us,though they made the mistake. By the way,the room was windowless and confined. The kitchen was also very small.

    There is an individual charging port beside every bed.I found the room clean. There was a particular locker for every person staying in the room and people should bring a small lock to keep their things safely in the locker.

    Perhaps I didn’t stay there at its best moment. The kitchen had a leak, causing it to flood, and there were few utensils available. The bathroom outside the room was always dirty. I want to clarify that this wasn’t the hostel’s cleaning staff’s fault, as they cleaned (and cleaned very well) every day. It was an issue caused by the guests. If you wanted to use a kitchen utensil, you had to check it carefully because sometimes they were put away dirty. And one night, a guest got upset and started yelling in the middle of the night.

    The room was excellent, and so was the bathroom (the one from my room).

    Decent for one night stay, need safety and security update.

    Cons: a couple of big things to consider are one, locks with longer bendy tops don’t actually lock the (rather small) lockers, you need solid smaller padlocks, and two, it is NOT possible to lock the door to the room. NO keys or cards. We talked to the front desk and were told that this is legal, but not so sure as it’s a huge safety and security risk, especially as a woman. The woman’s only dorm is farthest from reception, anyone can enter. The front desk said that a new card system was being installed soon so that key cards will be used, so I would CALL and ensure this has happened prior to staying if this is something of importance to you.

    Pros: receptionist was welcoming and let us check in early which was very appreciated. Clean areas, individual bed lights + plug ins, and good temperature during the night. Affordable as well.

    They didn't give us a towel. Beds were very close to each other so the room wasn't spacious at all. The glass of the shower was hard to close which caused the wet floor.

    Location was great. Heater was working properly.

    Wish the duvet was in a cover, that way i can be sure that it is clean, this way i have no way of knowing if the duvet was cleaned

    For the price it is decent, i didnt excpect much more for the money i paid, and the location is close to a metro station so no problem getting around. Also the bathroom is in the room which js great

    It doesn't look safe for women, but it actually is, they have lockers for yours belongings but the door doesn't have any kind of lock

    Excellent location, 15 min walk to the train station and 1 min to the metro, but the place look weird.

    The kitchen is smashed in a narrow space it’s impossible to use it, I didn’t find that corner particularly well maintained, and there was just very little available at the kitchen. I think there was not even a bowl. The locker in my room was broken. And I had to share the room with a sick girl and I got sick myself :(

    I found the location okay. It’s close to a metro station and the metro brings you right to the center.

    The doors have no locks so anyone can walk in. They provide lockers but you need to bring your own lock. Beds were a bit squeaky and had no curtains. It was very cold at night so needed to sleep with socks and my winter coat on making it uncomfortable. Only one shower working on the 1st floor for 40-50 people since the other one had no hot water.

    Excellent central location, about a 30 min walk to the duomo and 1 min walk to the metro. Female dorm of only 6 beds with lockers was good.

    The kitchen is kind a dirty and they don't have a water dispenser, people used to drink from sink water.

    Well the dorm is good, but the staff is a bit bossy, which reflect their reluctant nature
