I had a great experience in Ostello Bello Bologna and I truly recommend this hostel! I can't say a lot about the social vibe, because I got there a day after they opened and naturally there weren't many guests, but the team were so kind and I felt really welcomed. The 8 person dorm was great, it kinda feels like a 4 person dorm because it is separated and has 2 bathrooms, it has two balconies and a lot of room. The common areas are the coolest I've seen in any hostel so far, such a cool vibe and design Overall a great place to stay in for budget travelers

Location was good, literally in the heart of Bologna and everything was walking distance. The staff, forgot to ask his name, the Filipino guy was very helpful and professional. Overall it was a good experience.

This place is great for solo travellers, couples and families, as they can accommodate all of these. Ideally placed two minutes from the train station, so if, like me, you couldn’t afford a bunk in Bologna, it’s a cost effective way to deal with this, as it’s only 15mins to Bologna on the train. The hostel seems brand-new, is very well set-up and Matteus and Mara took good care of me. Highly recommended.

This is a great accommodation option, set in the lovely mountains, on the Via Degli Dei and the German Gothic Line of World War 2. It is 5 kms from the train station at Vado, and 4kms from Monzuno. There are buses to both towns. For an inexpensive hot meal (takeaway) option, I would strongly recommend Sonia next door. You will need to book ahead and the host's will give you contact numbers. I tried all 3 accommodations at the residence - tent, bungalow, and apartment -, and they were all cozy and inexpensive. The host couple are most hospitable and helpful. Great value!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Great location, really near the main square but hide from the noise of the main streets, Independence for entering and going out of the hostel at any hour, safe locker for the luggage, 3 bathrooms available, wi-fi worked well. Is a good place for a quick visit of the city (2 nights).
