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.

    The staff were very helpful. Room and breakfast were great. They have private parking for Euro 25 per night in a very safe place behind the hotel. Hope you have a small car as its very tight to get in, but it works very well. Great location for the city, once you find it through the one way streets. Its also where the Ducati museum is if you are a motorcycle fan.

    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).

    due to the smallness of this hostel it automatically makes it very cosy and not socializing with the other friendly guest is basically impossible. also thanks to the couches in the common area and the funky interior design you cannot not feel like in a safe place. it's very clean too. oh and i haven't even talked about the staff sofar: they are amazing - every single one of them! very well managed. would recommend this backpackers paradise to all my friends. cheers and enjoy=)
