Fascinating youth hostel, Piazza del Duomo, housed in a grandiose apartment with mouldings, floors and princely stuccoes. You are not used to sharing your dormitory or playing table tennis under high ceilings painted with 17th century Baroque frescoes . Numerous dormitories and double rooms with private bathroom. Each bed is equipped with a classic and USB socket, curtains and a locker. As a bonus: a nice decoration, a relaxed musical atmosphere, an excellent buffet breakfast and an incredible rooftop bar with a view.

Can't revieve the rooms just went to the rooftop bar, €9 entrance fee but such a beautiful view and you get a free drink coupon with entry, good mix of music great place.

First time staying at a hostel and the experience was really good. The staff was very nice and helpful and the whole vibe of the place was great. Recommend!

Incredible hostel! I could not imagine something nicer! You directly have a good feeling when entering, there is no weird distance between you and the staff, or you and the place or even the other visitors. Big big recommendation and a superior experience than taking an airbnb that might even cost the same. See you next time!

I really wanted to love this place, but the truth is I just didn’t have an amazing stay, although I do think there were elements of “bad luck”. I stayed on a weekend, which could have been the reason. There was a huge group of school children that took up the entire hostel common area, and made the vibe weird - not what I was looking for as a solo traveler. It made me just want to go to my room and meant that I didn’t really meet people. Also, all dorms are facing a big square with someone playing very loud live music over speakers, which is part of the charm I guess, but it was very very loud until past midnight. I ended up moving to another place, as my main reason for staying here was the social part.

I do think there could have been a “minimum 18 years old” requirement, but on the other hand I do understand that the young school kids also wanted to enjoy the hostel.

Having said all that, it is a nice hostel, but just didn’t live up to my expectations of a great hostel experience.
