Hostels in Bologna

I liked the organization of the shared bedrooms, there was a good amount of privacy provided, the bathroom was very smartly set up with places to lay out my stuff, and I had an excellent espresso in the morning.

The breakfast was really good, I was able to make myself a vegan meal. I felt safe in the mixed room and was able to put away all of my belongings for the night and when I went to explore the city. It was perfect for a one night stay. The wall paitings are really nice.

This place is extremely cosy (especially considering that it's a hostel) and I could really tell how much care has been put into the space and all its details, rendering the common rooms a place where everyone feels welcome and at ease (including dozens of cute tiny lamps scattered around that lit up the space). There was also a huge chalkboard with event and exhibition recommendations that was being updated daily. I especially liked the fact that you were allowed to hang out as long as you needed on the big comfy sofas in the lounge after check-out, and you could help yourself to a cup of tea anytime. Also the rooms were very nice, I really appreciated the curtains that every bed has for an extra sense of privacy and cosiness. While my stay I've met many amazing and open-minded people and basically everyone was eager to connect and share. Every morning there was a breakfast buffet in the kitchen were everyone (who wanted or was up) gathered around the table to eat together. Next time I'm in Bologna I'll definitely come back to Dopa Hostel!

It’s very clean, the beds have curtains, the kitchen is very well equipped and you can eat breakfast for 5€. I’d stay here again! In 20 min walking you are in the city centre :)

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.

The hostess helped us find the location of the accommodation. It has very nice surroundings. It is right on the Via degli dei, but we don't recommend booking it for your first night, as it is quite far from Bologna: around 30 km.
