Such a great find. It was like staying at a friends house in the spare room. Really lovely welcome, a bottle of wine on arrival ! And really attentive. One of the best hostels I’ve stayed in

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.
