Staying at the Dopa Hostel was one of the best experiences of my life. It felt like settling into a home with friends. The kind, generous and supportive staff made it feel like visiting friends. They gave great advice about where to go and what to do in Bologna and were eager to help with anything. It was impeccably clean, orderly, and cozy. We even had a fun special vegetarian dinner with wine where the solo travelling guests became friends. The rooms were cozy with big bunk beds with large wood frames and curtains that felt very private. Thr bathrooms with toilet and shower were spacious, clean and beautiful. Having a kitchen with all the spices and cooking equipment you could possibly need was a huge plus. Eating the included breakfast each morning was a great way to meet other travelers. I could not recommend the Dopa Hostel more. This is the best hostel I have ever been to right in the University district and a short walk from anything you could want to see in Bologna. A+ 100%

I had a great experience in Ostello Bello Bologna and I truly recommend this hostel! I can't say a lot about the social vibe, because I got there a day after they opened and naturally there weren't many guests, but the team were so kind and I felt really welcomed. The 8 person dorm was great, it kinda feels like a 4 person dorm because it is separated and has 2 bathrooms, it has two balconies and a lot of room. The common areas are the coolest I've seen in any hostel so far, such a cool vibe and design Overall a great place to stay in for budget travelers

This is a great accommodation option, set in the lovely mountains, on the Via Degli Dei and the German Gothic Line of World War 2. It is 5 kms from the train station at Vado, and 4kms from Monzuno. There are buses to both towns. For an inexpensive hot meal (takeaway) option, I would strongly recommend Sonia next door. You will need to book ahead and the host's will give you contact numbers. I tried all 3 accommodations at the residence - tent, bungalow, and apartment -, and they were all cozy and inexpensive. The host couple are most hospitable and helpful. Great value!

All hostels in Bologna

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.

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).
