2-Star Hotels in Emilia-Romagna, Italy

The hostel provides you with the bare necessities, such as a comfortable bed, a spacious room and locker including a lock, and a small bedlight and socket. Unfortunately, that is also literally it and nothing more. There are no curtains for the beds. The bathroom is super weirdly laid out; there is a bathroom with shower, the only toilet and a sink behind a door; then in front of that, there is another sink and a shower. WITH NO DOOR. Making this shower literally unusable. There are two light switches in the bathroom, one that turns on the light in the back bathroom (behind the door) AND a light for the front sink. This means that, if people are sleeping in the bed next to the bathroom, there is literally light shining directly on their face and all the sounds. A problem easily solved by adding a door and curtains on the beds. The bathrooms didn’t have hand soap (they were empty) or any shower amenities (no shower gel). You have to pay if you want a towel, and you also have to make your own bed. There is also a lot of noise from the neighbours, what seems like a student accommodation. At this kind of price range, the level of amenities is terribly disappointing and could be easily solved. I have stayed in hostels all over the world and sadly this one was just one of two options in Bologna, so not much choice. There are really a lot of simple improvements possible that would have made it worth it, but I really cannot say this is value for money at all.

We only stayed at Ostello Bello Bologna for one night, but everything was really great! The room itself was quite spacious, with a large bathroom. It was clean, and there were three sets of towels and fresh linens provided. The hotel's location was super convenient! We arrived at the train station from the airport and reached the hotel in a short amount of time. The neighborhood felt very pleasant, and even when returning late at night, we had no safety concerns whatsoever. We absolutely loved the service at the reception! The lady from Finland was incredibly friendly and communicative! Her positive attitude made an excellent first impression. We also tried the complimentary welcome cocktails, and they were super! I'd also like to mention that the hotel itself is very stylish and clean. I particularly liked the common lounge area with a terrace, where you can relax away from the city's hustle and bustle. All in all, I recommend it 100 percent – you definitely won't regret it!

The hotel is situated just a stone throw away from the Piacenza train station. Bus stops are just 1 minute walk away which allow one to get around the city easily. Given that Piacenza is just 45 mins ish by train to Milano Lambrate station, it is a viable option for people who wants to do day trips to Milano. The room has all the essentials. TV (access to local channels), stocked mini-fridge, in-room WiFi access. In terms of bath room, basic toiletries are provided together with hair dryer. Hot water supply for showers are consistent in temperature. Check-in process by using a link in email sent by hotel owner. Point of improvement: would have appreciated more presence of reception staff for addressing questions on getting around the city, suggestions on places of interest to visit and recommendations of restaurants (offering traditional - typical dishes of the region).

Check-in was quick and easy, and the staff was friendly. The rooms are cleaned daily and quite thoroughly. Yes, not every corner is spotless, but I rarely see this level of cleanliness in a multi-bed room. My favorite part was the really great bar at the entrance with a cozy terrace where you could sit. Prices were very reasonable. Only small downside was that the hotel hosts also school classes. There was quite a bit of noise around our room, even after midnight.

Although my stay was short, I had a very pleasant experience. Excellent value for money. The staff are kind and helpful; they allowed us to check in early and held onto our luggage after check-out. The view from the room's balcony is lovely, with glimpses of the sea.

I like this hotel very much, I stay for the second time and my mother booked. Excellent price for such location. From the balcony you can see the sea, it is across the road. Shops and restaurants nearby. Very clean, all fresh, good bathroom room. I'll come again.

Son tornato per la seconda volta. Mi piace la struttura, l'ambiente e l'energia che si respira in questo ostello. Bella l'idea della pasta offerta alcune sere. Ottima la serata BBQ con prezzo di 7 euro per il panino. Se hai anche bisogno di un ombrellone per la spiaggia libera lo puoi prendere in prestito gratuitamente.

It is still close to the train station, because there is no luggage, it takes about 10 minutes to walk, the hotel is quite satisfactory, that is, my room does not have a bathroom, it is public, although it is next to the room, but it is still a little scared at night, the location is very convenient, Close to the Diamond Palace and the castle

The staffs are really nice! Highly recommend! Piacenza is a beautiful city
