Dopa Hostel earns consistent praise for warm, attentive staff, a sociable atmosphere with communal dinners and activities, very clean facilities, and a central, walkable setting with comfortable bunks that suit solo travellers and make meeting people easy.
Guests like the cozy common areas and kitchen, and the included breakfast is simple but good. Several note the limited number of shared bathrooms, and a few mention bed curtains that don’t fully cover. A dependable, hostel style base in Bologna.

Cozy common areas and a well equipped kitchen support a sociable atmosphere. Several guests note there are only three shared bathrooms, which can feel insufficient at busy times.

Had a great stay. Very clean hostel, great location, friendly staff. I liked the beds though the curtains are bit short and don't give privacy. There are 3 shared bathrooms which seem a bit limited for the whole hostel. The toilets are clean and spacious. The kitchen space is clean and has all that is needed, including free tea, coffee and cold watermt eh breakfast is decent but go early as it finishes quickly. I was sad to leave as hostel was fully booked and there was no room to extend

I liked the vibe of the hostel. Very wondefully designed and it encourages people to socialize. The bunk beds don't make noise when you move through them. The hostel is clean, the showers and bathrooms are nice, and, staff is helpful, and there are activites scheduled everyday to entertain the travelers! Keep note that while the maps location of the hostel is accurate, there is no sign at all that exposes the hostel's location. Only a small label at the building directory will tell you you are in the right place. The hostel is in the 1st floor (2nd floor for Americans, Italy has a zero floor!)

Very nice hostel, exceptionally clean. I do like when bathrooms are separate from the rooms. The toilets are very clean and nice water pressure, feels like a home. Staff is very attentive. Only stayed one night, but it was a good experience. Rooms were nice and facilities had a good vibe. Breakfast is simple but nice. The only issue is that they had no parking support, as advertised on the hostel profile. Parked at the train station and walked, which is not close but worked.

A very nice hostel with spacious rooms and comfortable beds. Breakfast provided which is excellent. Good location. The only downside is the lack of bathrooms, only three which are often being used. Really need to provide separate toilets from showers.

Good hostel. Location was about 10-15 minute walk from what would be considered the centre (Piazza Maggiore) and on quite a busy street - not reflected in the noise levels though. I think having physical, metal keys added to the noise because people were banging them on the door when trying to open it etc. other than that, noise levels were good. Good bathroom amenities in all 3 spaces. It was a good place to stay as a solo traveller - it felt safe. I didn’t have the breakfast but to be included and such a good mix was good.

Ganske særlig stemning mødte os med receptionens puder og musik og ungdommelighed med plads til guitarspillende, Tai Chi øvende gæster med varme smil og en fællesskabsstemning. Samtidig styr på reglerne og det praktiske så man er i gode hænder. Mulighed for at joine fællesspisning to gange om ugen og dejlig morgenmad i fælleskøkkenet, hvor der er plads til at lave mad og spise ved langbordet.

Ho recentemente soggiornato all'ostello Dopa e devo dire che la struttura è accogliente, pulita e ben organizzata. Nelle stanze condivisi i letti sono all'interno di "cabine" con tendine per la privacy. Gli armadietti si chiudono a chiave e sono dotati di presa interna per lasciare in carica i dispositivi personali. Altre prese anche vicino ai singoli letti, dotati di lampada personale per la notte. Il personale è cordiale e disponibile. La zona comune è carina: sala relax, cucina con frigo, bagni e docce spaziose. Inoltre la colazione inclusa, semplice, è un valore aggiunto. Consiglio questo ostello a chi è in cerca di un buon soggiorno.

Over all it was alright, the place got a pleasant style and is very clean. Just a few small things, the curtain covering my bed at dormetry was just a bit too small to fully cover it. Electricity disappeared in our room in the morning for a while. Having to pay for a towel didn't feel right either.

Gut, dass man kein separates Schloss für den Spint braucht, sondern einen Schlüssel erhält. Die Vorhänge vor den Betten gewähren Privatspähre. Jeder Gast hat seine eigene kleine Einstell-/Ablagemöglichkeit für den Koffer.

I loved staying here. It's in the center of the city so super convenient, the people that work here are very friendly and helpful, all the rooms and bathrooms are cleaned daily, and it has a really cozy vibe, like staying in a friend's apartment.

Gut mit dem Bus zu erreichen. Sehr freundliches Personal. Cool, dass die Locker/Spinte mit einer Steckdose ausgestattet sind. Gut, dass man kein separates Schloss für den Spint braucht, sondern einen Schlüssel erhält. Die Vorhänge vor den Betten gewähren Privatspähre. Jeder Gast hat seine eigene kleine Einstell-/Ablagemöglichkeit für den Koffer.

Good hostel. Location was about 10-15 minute walk from what would be considered the centre (Piazza Maggiore) and on quite a busy street - not reflected in the noise levels though. I think having physical, metal keys added to the noise because people were banging them on the door when trying to open it etc. other than that, noise levels were good. Good bathroom amenities in all 3 spaces. It was a good place to stay as a solo traveller - it felt safe. I didn’t have the breakfast but to be included and such a good mix was good.

Had a great stay. Very clean hostel, great location, friendly staff. I liked the beds though the curtains are bit short and don't give privacy. There are 3 shared bathrooms which seem a bit limited for the whole hostel. The toilets are clean and spacious. The kitchen space is clean and has all that is needed, including free tea, coffee and cold watermt eh breakfast is decent but go early as it finishes quickly. I was sad to leave as hostel was fully booked and there was no room to extend

Very nice hostel, exceptionally clean. I do like when bathrooms are separate from the rooms. The toilets are very clean and nice water pressure, feels like a home. Staff is very attentive. Only stayed one night, but it was a good experience. Rooms were nice and facilities had a good vibe. Breakfast is simple but nice. The only issue is that they had no parking support, as advertised on the hostel profile. Parked at the train station and walked, which is not close but worked.

A very nice hostel with spacious rooms and comfortable beds. Breakfast provided which is excellent. Good location. The only downside is the lack of bathrooms, only three which are often being used. Really need to provide separate toilets from showers.

Ganske særlig stemning mødte os med receptionens puder og musik og ungdommelighed med plads til guitarspillende, Tai Chi øvende gæster med varme smil og en fællesskabsstemning. Samtidig styr på reglerne og det praktiske så man er i gode hænder. Mulighed for at joine fællesspisning to gange om ugen og dejlig morgenmad i fælleskøkkenet, hvor der er plads til at lave mad og spise ved langbordet.

Ho recentemente soggiornato all'ostello Dopa e devo dire che la struttura è accogliente, pulita e ben organizzata. Nelle stanze condivisi i letti sono all'interno di "cabine" con tendine per la privacy. Gli armadietti si chiudono a chiave e sono dotati di presa interna per lasciare in carica i dispositivi personali. Altre prese anche vicino ai singoli letti, dotati di lampada personale per la notte. Il personale è cordiale e disponibile. La zona comune è carina: sala relax, cucina con frigo, bagni e docce spaziose. Inoltre la colazione inclusa, semplice, è un valore aggiunto. Consiglio questo ostello a chi è in cerca di un buon soggiorno.
