Hostels in Emilia-Romagna, Italy

Combo Hostel, Bologna Approx 15 min walk from train station. Utilitarian in a cool, funky way. VERY bright colours in the corridors. Very friendly helpful staff. Nice, reasonably priced bar with indoor and outdoor garden seating areas. Excellent breakfast. Rooms clean and spacious. Laundry with two washing machines, two dryers, two airers and iron/ironing board. Would definitely stay again

You can leave your luggage before check-in from 8am. All the employees are kind and friendly. Towels are free and you can request as many towels as you want. It would be better to ask for at least two towels for wiping your feet. Maybe it was just the room I stayed in, but there was no electricity in the shower booth, so I took a bath using the light from the toilet. There is a locker with a key in the room. There was also a hair dryer in the room. However, it's farther from the station than I expected. That's the only difficulty.

This hostel gets a 5 out of 5 vote from me and you won't find anyone as fussy as me when it comes to hostel reviews. I don't understand the mixed reviews it has been given by people staying here at the same time as myself? The staff are very friendly and help you as much as possible.....a special shout out to Ciara who is very lovely. My room was very clean and my bunk had a charging point, night light and curtain. The only minor problem are the lockers are small and square so you can't really get anything in them - they need changing to bigger ones! The meeting area is just a ten foot square area next to the reception desk with only around six seating places and likewise the kitchen area is also small with a single long table for breakfast that can only seat around twelve people at any one time. The main reasons for this is the hostel is small overall and also only has three shower rooms with the toilets housed within these rooms. This can be very annoying because if you're dying to use the toilet and all three showers are being used, you cannot gain access. The breakfast is substantial as it's an all you can eat comprising of tea, coffee and orange juice. To eat you have fruits, yogurt, ham, salami, cheese and salad. For the English pallet you have different cereals, toast, cakes, biscuits and the use of butter, jam and chocolate spreads. There's also a coffee perculator which can be used at anytime during the day. Within the kitchen there's a large fridge to store your own personal food items if you wish. You are expected to wash up all your items after you finish which is no big deal but something I don't agree with on principle. I'm on holiday and I've paid for my B&B so I don't expect to do their job for them - maybe that's just me? The location of the hostel is very good and within easy reach of the main city centre and tourist attractions with various buses a two minute walk from the front door and the main railway station just a fifteen minute walk away

It feels average, the charge is a bit more expensive, everything else is fine
